City of Heroes Now Offers Customizable Missions
Customizable missions? Yep, you heard, ‘er read, me right. In the latest update to CoH, The Mission Architect is now live, which means that you can now fully customize your own missions and design unique story arcs that you can actually share with everyone on your side in CoH across all of the live servers. What the hell can be cooler than that?
Not much in my opinion! I mean, straying from the normal story line of an MMO game to be able to completely create their own? Super sweet. And, you can actually share the story line with everyone else in the whole dame game. Even more super sweet.
The new Mission Architect allows you an almost infinite amount of ways to personalize each mission that you want to create, down to the tiniest detail. You can design all of the mission objectives, the dialogue, the characters that you’ll face, and even more than that.
Want to know more about the Mission Architect? Well, we here at Fantasy-rpg.com are going to bring you a beginner’s guide to this new area of the game so that you can see what you’re in for when you undertake creating a completely new mission and all that goes with it. In this first part, we’re just going to give you an overview of the Mission Architect and what you can do with it.
First of all, you already know that it allows you to create and control your own missions in City of Heroes. You can also share these new missions with any other player in the game, good or evil. When other gamers play what you’ve just designed, they will gain the experience and rewards that you have set forth in your missions. When they share your mission and complete it, they then have the chance to rate it on a scale from 1-5 stars. The higher that your story rates, the more rewards your toons will earn.
The Mission Architect is accessed through one of the Architect Entertainment buildings that you can find in several of the larger cities: Atlas Park, Galaxy City, King Row, Steel Canyon, Skyway City, Faultline, Talos Island, Independence Port, Founder Falls, Brickstown, Peregrine Island, Mercy Island, Port Oakes, Cap Au Diable, Sharkhead Isle, Nerva Archipelago, St. Martial, and the Rikiti War Zone. So, as you can see, you can start creating your own custom missions from just about anywhere in the game.
To create a story, you head to one of the Architect buildings and you will have a walk through on creating your first mission. You will be able to create local stories first, which are those that you are still working on (or if you don’t want to share them, they will stay as locals). Right now, you can actually create as many local stories as you want without a limit. We’ll see if this changes as the Mission Architect goes live and starts to fill up.
From there, you can test your story out, just like you were in the game and playing the mission. If you want, you can even get a team together of seven other heroes to help you. Even though you don’t get any experience while you’re testing, you will get specific “testing” badges.
Once you’ve created and tested your mission, you can them publish it. You can only publish three stories right now that can be shared with others. Each mission can only have up to 25 goals. You publish it, and other people play it so that they can then rate your story and mission. The better that the ratings are on your story, the more tickets you’ll earn.
When you play stories and missions that are created by other players, you still have to head to the Architect Computer in the Architect Entertainment facilities. Here, the Browser in the Mission Architect will show you the different stories that are available to you and you can even sort and filter them to find ones that are fit for your level and game style. Then, you play these and gain the tickets for rewards and you can even unlock content inside the architect. So, this is yet another cool area of the game that you simply cannot miss.
