Meet the Bakers!

[Joe Schmoe]

All right, I did an arc. Even though it's fairly simple, it took an entire day.

Tis a simple plot: You get lured into a trap by a family of bounty hunters, looking to pay the bills for another month. Just a group of NPCs that I've always imagined existed in this universe. Oh, and it's pretty.. pretty.. hard. And long. Good luck with that!

What the critics say:

"Septa: Oh wtf.
Septa: SO HEAVY
Septa: I hate you"

"Feedback on Architect Mission Meet the Bakers!: Not Bad! Fun!"

" Feedback on Architect Mission Meet the Bakers!: Ridiculous regen rates and EBs that perma-mez you......on Heroic? Yeah...not worth bothering to try to follow your story"

"Feedback on Architect Mission Meet the Bakers!: Very challenging"

" Feedback on Architect Mission Meet the Bakers!: I'm not a big fun of EB fests, but this one was well paced, sensibly constructed, and didn't get repetitive. A sense of humor always helps too. So a good job for what it is."

"[Grae Knight] Joe's mission is insane"

"Bayne: So Heavy, indeed
Bayne: Joe, you sick ****. ;)
Bayne: Joe, you've got issues.
Bayne: Freud would be saying "I give up""

"Knightward: oh god! just when i think im almost done, new requirements pop up!
Knightward: no, i quit
Knightward: i couldnt hit her!"

[Knightward]

I need to try that again on Knight instead of Owain. Focused Accuracy HAS TO help with that perma-elude boss.

[Bitter Babe]

LOL will have to try this tonight or this weekend

[Grae Knight]

If you do it, bring a full 8 person team for laughs and a crazy challenge. "Crank it up to 11"

[Cryogentic]

I thought it was fun, I loved the clues in it.

[Knightward]

I beat it on Knight! Thank God the elude in there isn't perma-elude, otherwise it would be outright impossible. Still died plenty though.

[Sir Serpa]

Solo Max Diff...

Congratulations, Joe. You burnt out a power-gamer. Seriously. I had to use an HVAS. That shouldn't be necessary....-_-' The only time I've ever had to use an HVAS was trying to solo the Honoree... Since you already ruin the surprise that it's a trap, I'd HIGHLY recommend including how many AVs and EBs there are in the damn thing. I literally had to pound on Granny for 40 minutes because she kept healing and summoning healers.

[suburbanhell]

**** you and that ****ing safe Joe. That is all. :D

[RedSwitchblade]

**** Filo solo on a defense based character :/

[Sir Serpa]

YOU'RE TEARING THIS COMMUNITY APART!!!

[Joe Schmoe]

All right, I put another warning on it. :D You guys are sooo lucky Septa convinced me to drop the Rularuu shadow map.

[Tell] 2009-04-10 17: 59:02 Message From @FrostyPox : Also, I should add, your mission has sapped my will to live.
[Tell] 2009-04-10 18: 12:02 Message From @SuburbanHell : WHAT THE HELL? "SO HEAVY"!!! I should 1 star this for this friggen safe!
[Tell] 2009-04-10 18: 40:54 Message From @Red Switchblade : Feedback on Architect Mission Meet the Bakers!: Having now completed it, it's not that bad. Could use a little tweaking though. Might I recommend not giving Unstoppable to Hodges?
[Tell] 2009-04-10 20: 10:18 Message From @FrostyPox : Feedback on Architect Mission Meet the Bakers!: I ran your mission again and you are still a horrible, horrible person. Five Stars for you sir.
[Tell] 2009-04-10 23: 31:34 Message From @Knightward : Feedback on Architect Mission Meet the Bakers!: Goddamnit Joe. I'm 5 starring this to lure more unsuspecting people to their doom.
[Tell] 2009-04-11 17: 08:55 Message From @Green Tower : Feedback on Architect Mission Meet the Bakers!: Entertaining, challenging, and thank Christ you don't design games for a living.
[Tell] @SVTKrypto: Feedback on Architect Mission Meet the Bakers!: So let me guess, the Bakers are an extrapolation of your own family, and the heavy safe is representative of the weight of your regrets in life? That's deep, man.

Yeah, if I can get enough suicidal people, I'm waiting to do this.

[FrostyPox]

I will gladly run this abomination on an 8 man team. On Invincible, even.

There's something wrong with me.

[Bitter Babe]

I'd be up for that sometime

[Green Tower]

I don't know whether to shake your hand or smash you with a crowbar or both.

[Knightward]

Count me in on an 8 man team.

[Meltman]

I don't know whether to shake your hand or smash you with a crowbar or both.

That's why God gave you two arms.

I dont even have an HVAS, only used about 3 inspirations total as well, looks like your kung fu isnt as good as my kung fu.


The mom was really the only annoying one, none even had me close to death except for the 2 EB's i got at the same time in the front. You should add a fire blaster in there so us MM's have some troubles somewhere in there.


Great mission Joe, you did well. I'll run it again for sure.

[Grae Knight]

It was alot of fun on a 8 person team set to unyielding. Good mission Joe.

1) You're a Thugs/Traps MM... You're never solo AND you have insane debuffs to boot.
2) I tried it on an SS/WP Brute with no debuffs, just pure damage on Max Diff...
3) My kung fu is the ****.

1) And your pride is a mother******. :lol::lol::D

[Sir Serpa]

Damn straight. At least I have the ability to rationalize why others can do **** I can't. I didn't call him a liar, now did I? =p

[bpphantom]

ROFL! Oh Joe.

[Jade_Dragon]

Okay, this was like the second MA mission I tried, and the first was actually helping GT test. I went into it solo, but only on a 32 Scrapper, so you might have intended it to be a little harder. I'm not sure I want to try it in the 40-50 range. :D

That said, although I ended up burning a lot of Inspirations (thanks for making sure I would find out where to buy them :D) the only one I really had trouble with was Grandma. She was the last one left standing when I finally gave up and quit. Everyone else went down eventually, but Granny couldn't be dented.

The safe was the punch line to the whole adventure, though. I almost fell out of my chair. I found the descriptions a little terse, but I realized they were supposed to be, but then you threw out the annoyance of the heavy safe and it's ultra long timer, and I just burst out laughing.

I liked the tiny robots, too. :D

[Sebastian Kain]

I played through this yesterday, solo for half of it then a friend of mine joined in.

Yep, pretty much lol'ed with the Safe. :)
