Feedback: "Who Will Die?" Part 1

Feedback:

Alastor and Theoden show up on the mini-map as a trainer and not a contact.

Alastor does not show up in active contacts.

Text for contact should give level and number of players parameters.

Nothing 'happened' when the cavern 'collapsed'. No damage. No awesome rock falling animation. Just a mission kick.

Part of second map (Stop the Igneous from stealing the Obelisk) has unavailable map parts.

Upon entering the missions, they don't auto-load; you have to click Enter Game. I suppose it's so we can see the awesome art. Hate that! Too many times I sat there and started to wonder why it wasn't loading. ARGH! Get rid of that, please.

With the exception to the Igneous who are immune to the effects of lava, any map that had lava made foe-fights trivial by simply hovering over the lava and watching them die. Going to have to give the foes flight or -fly powers.

Give Kal'Mant flight. He's useless trying to find a path over the broken up terrain to keep up with you.

The bonus merits is actually 10x normal merits, not 5x.


Neat stuff:

When you find the exit (look left) you go into another map. Villainside, there is a chest with this clue...

The Cult of Eyes: You found some scrolls in a treasure chest within Oranbega. Most of them seemed fairly old, detailing ancient enemies of the Oranbegans. One, however, was new, as if it had been scribed a few days ago. It detailed a cult whose followers have 'eyes to look to the beyond' and that 'they are to be considered eternal enemies to the Oranbegans'. There isn't much information regarding the cult, and unfortunately it doesn't seem like this cult had much to do with the current happenings.


Heroside it's just Alastor and Echidna running out.

Would of prefered it if it could of been run at level 50, maybe they could just change it at a later point to use a new group that goes up to level 50?

Why is Babs always hanging out with the Phalanx if he isn't a member?

I think when Babs "retired" he became the Phalanx's personal tailor and hair dresser

For those who have ... difficulties ... with the arc exemplaring you down to 20: I was looking through Ouroboros to find a mission to run when I came across the contact for the 4th part of the story (obviously not yet available), and she's in the 40s. So no, the entire story won't be as low as this part. This was just done so that the writers could, y'know, tell the story they wanted to tell using the enemy groups they wanted to use.

Lvl 50+ Rogue Brute - completed both Hero and Villain without breaking a sweat @ +1/0.

Lvl 50+ MM Thugs/Storm - struggled to keep Thugs alive but motored through with Hurricane and Ice Slick easing the way @ +2/0. Hurricane and Ice Slick were especially helpful on the second mission as them and the boys kept the mobs away while MM clicked on glowies. AV in mish 3 was a bit of a prob but we got thru it - sloppy and iffy but done.

My overall impression is that the missions are a challenge with some obstacles to overcome but that only meant I had to take my time and think about them every step of the way. No reason to hurry and make errors that result in frustration. I made best use of the powers remaining after the exempt and succeeded.

Now off to see how my Lvl 26 Fire/Rad Troller can handle things. Betting this will be a problem.

So, I'm playing along with my villain and two things occur to me.

One, the obelisk is gonna drain synapse and give the power to the igneous... so I start laughing when I picture that planning meeting of all the big rocks saying "yes, speed boost, plz".

Two, I wish there was an igneous badge...

back to exploring to find this obelisk.
