well thank god i passed the mish then, his arc sounds like punishment if you fail this mish (which i guess it sort of should be, since you failed...)

fighting mako himself sounds kinda cool, but all those other EB's and calystix sounds annoying

i can always just team up with someone if i want to do those anyway

Well, you just missed out on beating Mako. Supposedly, if you don't fail his first mission, he won't give you the extra other half of the story arc. You missed out on fighting 4 EBs that can two shot you, Calystix, and Mako himself.

..and getting tossed around by 12 Whirlpools.

If this is correct, after you fight McKnight, he'll tell you to come back at lvl 45. Can you confirm this for me?

PS - The respec was a freespec handed out this morning.

I can say that I did fail the very first mission... and was able to fight Mako himself in a very epic 1-on-1 that still has me giggling like an idiot. After that mission, I was then told to come back at 45. So, no, failing the first mission doesn't prevent you from fighting Mako. Dunno if I missed out on anything ELSE, though.

I recall:
- Timed Mission with Detention Field-happy Elite Boss.
- Mission with KoA
- Killing Mr. "Hey, buddy!"
- Messenger Service
- Lay the Smackdown on Mako and Calyfishstix.

I feel like I'm missing something, but that's all I can remember at the moment.

It is... but it's worth it. Getting Placated and ASed by the big man himself was an honor. A shame I had to beat him into the ground.

No, no, I meant the opposite.

If you fail = you get the Leviathan arc and fight Mako himself
If you don't fail = after McKnight, he tells you to come back at 45

Which actually makes sense. If you don't fail the timed mission, he'd think you're strong, but on the other hand, if you fail it, you're probably labeled as weak, that's why he uses you. Remember: even the Arbiters said that he constantly does that. He tried to get us arrested by Arbiter Dao, but Dao figured it out and decided to help us instead.

Yeah, that's what we're talking about, lol.

In the final mission, you're gonna have to fight 4 Font of Powers (all EBs), Calystix, and get ambushed by Mako and his followers. Not to mention in the last room, there's 12 whirlpools that could easily help any enemy kill you.

Devs I know I'm asking for a bit much but could Bile Spray have a secondary effect? Something like -def or -res.

PLEASE OH PLEASE DEVS! I'M ON MY KNEES!!!

*Begs for a REALLY long time*

Comon it fits in with the whole CHUM SPRAY theme. You're spitting up acidic spray, its gotta atleast debuff defense or resistance. A modest number will do. something like 10-15%

Level 45

Chum spray is now slotted 1 accuracy 3 power

I'll get some numbers up on different enemies when i'm not asleep

Hehe - nice!

Dare I ask what the sound effect for "TEH CHUM" is? I was really hoping for the nice 'sploshy' sound the Corolax Hybrids make with their water attack, but I s'pose a nice throaty puke is quite possible...

 

Posted

LOL..funny thought.. imagine a cute gentle girly "pwoh!"..

...or a big heavy snot in the back of your throat.. *hackkkkkkkk* "tsooh!"

i fought barracuda again tonight, and she had a chum-spray-ish attack, only hers did a lot of dmg and had a wide/long cone that basically hit the whole group

 

Posted

Where do you fight Barracuda at? Scirocco mission?

Just do a "find the needle in the haystack".

If you roam around the door's level (as in stay in the same height level as the door - if you Fly, if not, you're screwed.. or get someone with Fly to do it for you.) You'll notice upon exploring that the enemies exist outside of the map where you are. Find the 3 Death Mages and kill em, that's all.

Sounds like a flowy sound slike the corolax Hybrids, cept no water splash towards the end.

The cone is INSANELY HUGE. If you step back a bit you can cover a entire small room with it hitting just about every enemy inside.

I put 1acc 3dam in it last night but it still feels like it's unslotted, maybe I was too sleepy... I'll get some pics of me using it on longbow and pics of just how much it can hit after I get back on.

Edit: oh crap forgot, i'm always fighting +2 and +3s so thats why it may feel that way. I'm try something diff as well, i'm gonna get some PvP testing. TO THE ARENA!!!

I didn't fail.
Defeated McCraneKick and Mako had nothing for me, and won't until 45.

Maybe b/c I beat McCraneKick so convincingly that I've proven myself beyond all doubt.
