SSA #7 Story Discussion ** SPOILERS **
"I will be providing you magical protection which will allow you to breath in space, if you do not already have the ability to do so."
I like where this is going. |
This is a "ZONE CREATING" statement if I ever saw one.
"Samual_Tow - Be disappointed all you want, people. You just don't appreciate the miracles that are taking place here."
"I will be providing you magical protection which will allow you to USE YOUR POWERS UNDERWATER, if you do not already have the ability to do so."
I like where this is going. |
Many possibilities.
"Samual_Tow - Be disappointed all you want, people. You just don't appreciate the miracles that are taking place here."
one reminder, in the last fight, penny is by the portal, apparently missed a cue and kinda needed her in phase 2 of the last battle. beyond that, nice overall tie up. no red green blue ending nonsense, just a good, old fashioned butt kicking :P
also, while im sure others will be happy with spaace, i had a different drool moment.. tanks..i LOVE smashing stuff with rian, and if you time it right, the last room with multiple tanks can detonate each other...one vorpal judgement made rian a one man jerry bruckheimer film. happy. also, glad lord recluse got his moment in the spotlight, rian may have upstaged him, but he got the punch up he deserved. also glad to see lady grey get active again, we need more of her.
oh and yeah, wade did drop recluse pretty fast, looks like he didnt slot his destiny powers
one complaint, the apocolyptic beam, id have liked to see it fire, it seemed it was either nothing or a big screen-full of effect and rian faceplanting, i want a beam dangett.
Did anyone else see Wade beat down Lord Recluse while you were still at full health...I laughed so hard...I don't think he brought his own purples. I also lost Black Scorpion in the earlier mission when I jumped on top of a tank to kick it proper and he get hit with the deathsplosion.
Also I got to kicksplode a handfull of tanks ^_^. The tank room made my Vorpal Judgement hilariously explosive.
This is from a redside perspective
First mission: You go back to the Cimerora temple to locate Wade, or find evidence. Arachnos is there first. You put the boot to Ghost widow, then talk to Scirocco and he gives you the knowledge that Wade is in the shadow shard. Second mission: You hit the shadow shard. Kill Ruladak, talk to Faathim, (who has unique dialogue if you have his badge), he tells you Wade is on an Island in the Pacific. Mission three. You get to the Island and can talk to a few of the heroes you've dealt with, such as Penelope Yin and Lord Recluse. You go topside and you see a bunch of FLOATING SHIPS surrounding a massive shield covering the island. You go into one of the other ships, either flying or hopping from ship to ship. You get the info that you are gonna need a LOT of firepower to break the shield. Mission 4: Where are you gonna get firepower? Warburg. You get there, and Malta has tried to take over. You fight Malta and a bunch of tanks with sapper technology, and get control of the nukes. Short mission mission 5: During all this, Wade's island has begun floating. It is now in the upper atmosphere and he is summoning Rularuu. You go INTO SPAAAAAACE, and fight a bunch of soldiers of Ru, then finally Rularuu wade. Epilogue: Press conference. Questions asked are "Why did you save the world" and "Who will we look to now that statesman is gone" and, even as a villain, I could say "I will protect you." As you walk out, Manticore says he "Knows your true nature" and attacks. You beat him down. You get a few "Where are they now" scenes, Posi is leader of the Phalanx, Penelope has joined, few other inconsequential things. THE END Also, Wade is a whiny pancake who just wanted to be "Free", and Lady grey is torturing all the information about Rularuu out of him |
Just by reading (haven't run the villain one yet), everything is pretty much the same except for how the various heroes/villains treat you.
The fact my Hero could attack the conference was amusing.
I did like how they let us choose if we wanted Recluse and the Patrons to come along. Not sure what would have happened if I said no, though.

1. Investigate Statesman's death scene. Defeat Ghost Widow. Make deal with Sciroco who has lead on Wade.
2. Save Sciroco from Rularuu by Faathim's sphere. Defeat Wade-reformed Ruladek. Get lead on RuluWade from Faathim.
3. Go to Pacific Island which is floating away from earth. Talk to NPCs for flavor. Can't get near Island because of protective bubble. Battleships stacked like a mobile. Climb to top for info. Hold off Rularuu ambushes while Penny and Numina protect you from an Apocalyptic beam. Run back to them for protection when it goes off. Mako does something badass once in his life.
4. Go to Warburg to oust Malta so you can fire nukes to break through Island's barrier.
5. Go to Lady Grey and decide whether to accept Recluse's help.
6. Go to Island in space. Might as well be a moon zone! See earth rotating below. Clear Island of Rularuu and artifacts. Run to Penny to avoid Apocalyptic Beam. Kill RuluWade.
7. Go to press conference. Answer questions or not or attack press conference. If villain, deal with some pesky vigilante in red.
8. Where are they now cutscene: Posi's in charge of Phalanx and Penny is newest member. Aurora2 is still in that NPC. Wade is a non-powered gurgling mess about to be mind-peeled by Lady Grey for info about Rularuu.

So, curiosity on two things.
Is it possible for SSers to get up the ships?
What happens if you get smacked with the Apocalypse Beam?
Also, I am very glad for boost range and snipes, since while waiting to be ported out in mission 3, some of the natterlings decided to hide outside of normal snipe range and promptly sit there and do nothing.

I meant getting nothing for doing the last mish solo.
Did anyone else not get any particle effects for Wade's "Apocalypse Blasts"?
Kinda spoiled the intensity of the battles when there wasn't anything HUGE AND LOUD to hide in the bubble from.
That said, I LOVE the press conference! That was my favorite part of this ENTIRE ARC. If a redname is reading this, PLEASE add more things like that in for later arcs.
@Amarlex in game, on the Virtue server.
Go to Island in space. Might as well be a moon zone! See earth rotating below.

Not only does the Earth rotate, it also has a separate layer of cloud cover - plus the textures on the space isalnd seemed to be totally new, rather than reused rock textures from First Ward or Dark Astoria.

That did seem like a heck of a lot of work for just one mission map

Oh well, I have a MM to run it tomorrow.

The blast was like a huge fireball - it kinda blocked the whole screen
