Designer Notes: I created this mission about two years ago as a way to level post-sewer level characters (8-10 or so). I wanted the map to push the players in order to reward smart play and punish the “dive and mash buttons” players. I also wanted the game to be fun and fit within the CoH canon. It’s listed in the game as a “non-canon” story because it’s not part of the official story line, but it is something I feel embraces the spirit of the story line. The players take the role of Teen Titans style group − the “not ready for prime time players” associated with a larger team.

Non-farm 4 story arc. Great for lowbies. ** High mob pressure and XP, but very challenging. Rec a team with vet badges. Diving into mobs or around blind corners will get you killed. Play smart and you’ll love it. Buff pets inside to help.

X8: Baptism by Fire

Story Description: The new adventures of the Extraordinary Eight. Hellions are up to their old mischief and setting fire to buildings but this time they’re taking hostages.

Length: Long (3 missions)
Level Range: 1-14
Mission Status: Final
Alignment: Heroic

Designer Notes: This was the first arc I wrote for the second incarnation of the weekly super group, the Extraordinary Eight (www.extraordinary8.com). It’s written from the perspective of a new team putting on the uniform of veteran group and some dialogue reflects that but should still be enjoyable for those heroes who don’t fit that bill. The arc should be solo friendly, the only hard points I can see are the regular Hellion and Skull bosses. It does contain two timed missions, however the time limits should be way more than enough to complete them. [SFMA,LBMA,SLMA]

Designer Notes: This is part five of a five part Lovecraft-inspired ur-arc called The Darkness Comes. This arc does not stand alone; it assumes the player character has recently completed part three and is the completion of the overarching story. Play this only after completing the previous four arcs.
