By Any Means #199400

Postby Tog » Fri May 29, 2009 5:20 pm

This arc is another story driven one, inspired by MW's story "Power Given" This is where I thought his could have been headed in the beginning.

I had issues with a lot of my own characters with the last guy. He's a Necro/Dark and th adds are really good that you won't see him until he starts to summon the pets. I left out the dark Servant and Lich, and he doesn't have Fearsome Stare, cause you know 3 cone fears would just be mean. :twisted: I turned him down from and AV/EB to EB/Boss based on the pile of asses I was handed on bothe a level 50 MM and a level 30 Claws Regen, neither of which were able to get him down to the 3/4 mark.

There is a lot of stuff going on in the background of a few missions to try and make it look like the city was alive.

As always, I'm really interested in any feedback.

Good story. I like the added elements of the live city. Seperate paths crossing, Freaks, Circle, etc.

Mission 3

Chapter 5 clue: Pursuits is mispelled. ALso I found the book before I rescued Forrester so the clue was off in refering to the book before I met the Doc.

Mis 4

Saleman has some html tags, <br> specifically for me. ALso Billings Clue has member mispelled.

Also returning to contact wanted is mispelled.

Mis 5

Yeah, billings is tough. I am still trying to figure out how Occam's Mind is going to take him down. Radiant Night did it though, used 6 blue inspirations to support my heavy end. drain but it was a good fight over resources. Masses versus end heavy AOEs.


Overall a good mission.

Oh, yeah that Find the Exit in Mission 3, How did you do that? My guess is spawn something, but it was appeared near the front door. Maybe I was lucky (or unlucky).

Thanks all around. I'll make those changes and corrections tomorrow.

Mission 3 had two goals when you start. The Book and the Doc. When you get the book it sets the Boss who spawns at the front of the mission. Since the map is basically a straight line one, you'll meet him on the way to the door. The "Find the Exit" text was just the compass text entered in the boss settings.

I'll echo Ock's love for that boss trick at the end of mission three. I was wondering what the deal was when I had to "find the exit". The boss spawned behind the pillars in that room so I didnt see him until he was on me. Gave a great effect.

The bosses were pleasently tough but nothing a couple insp couldnt take out. I think the whole concept of developing the story inside the mission instead of just with the contacts dialogue was captured very well in this arc. While I enjoyed some of your other arcs stories more, this was your most solid work by far.

Thanks, Myths.

You know, another way to use that Boss Spawn trick from Mission three would be to set up a Click farm style mission. The stealth guy runs in to start clicking away and every item he clicks spawns a Boss at the door to take out the PL Leaches. :twisted:

But that wold be wrong.
