For today's Mission Architect Sunday Special, we ran:

@Fist of Equals' Allegedly, Your Death (65297). Vigilante justice in a caped crusade!

 

Got some PUG interest despite the competing calls from the seasonal event.  Pending on the week, it might be best to plan for one arc if it's running long or the group is running low on time.

 

NEXT TIME...

 

MASS returns to Indomitable to finish the Heart of Words series on March 2.  The next one will likely be Excelsior but I need to find out if I'm going to move it forward an hour or only run from 2-3PM.

 

 

Thanks for running Allegedly, Your Death ! I got some good feedback from the team, which encouraged me to set the minimum level for the missions across the board to 41.

 

Just to clarify, my handle in-game is First of Equals, not Fist of Equals (but people can find the arc easily enough by name or arc number)

 

Thank you again, I was delighted that one of my arcs appeared in the MASS.

Sorry about the name error.  Just corrected it.

Asked about available times and the first Mission Architect Sunday Special for Excelsior will be Sunday, March 16 at 1-3 PM in the RWZ.  This is an hour earlier than when it's run on other servers in order to avoid disrupting the MSR.

For today's Mission Architect Sunday Special, we ran:
@Valevard's Heart of Words: Conclusion (58415). A pocket dimensional climax of memory!

 

In after arc discussion, was noting that there's a noticeable lack of shorter story based arcs which makes running two for MASS difficult.  I'll see just what I manage to find because

 

NEXT TIME...

 

MASS has its first run on Excelsior on March 16.  Due to the raid schedule, MASS will be an hour early at 1-3PM Eastern.  Also, I believe this is after Daylight Savings Time for the US.

Excelsior MASS was canceled.

 

Despite being a large shard, only one person showed up.  That person left for the MSR.  While I was alerted of an event at 3PM (thus trying to run at an earlier time) if there's also a MSR at 1PM then MASS simply isn't feasible on the shard.  I will eventually try again but it'll be a while.  Another wrinkle is that the new RWZ AE location, despite how nice it is, can be difficult for some people to find.

 

NEXT TIME...

 

MASS returns to Indomitable on April 6 at the normal 2PM time.

Damn that's really sad.   Starting to wonder if other shards ARE better to play on to avoid the "number go up" mindlessness, but sadly I usually play during the overnight hours (night shifter), so I can't team on any other shard...

[ZamuelNow]

As a night shifter, it's not impossible Reunion could work.  But every shard has its own culture.  What hours, BTW?

Most weekends I'm tied up in the daytime, but I stopped by the RWZ AE at 330pm Eastern last Sunday; I know it was way past the event time but I was hoping to catch anyone who was still running story arcs.  Maybe another time!

Most days it's actually very early, like say 8 AM MST, but then I can't game from a long stretch.  Days I'm off, maybe starting around 3 am?  My schedule can vary along with what's going on personally.

 

This is also why I never join anyone else's SG  😄
