Heroica RPG General Discussion

[Waterbrick Down]

Sorry to see you go Flare. Come back when you can, good luck in your next ventures.

[Cutcobra]

Well, that's the best use I'll ever get out of that Wicked Perfume.

[Zepher]

Throlar lunged at Heckz, again, it was getting rather repetitive.

Even the narrator of Throlar's life is finding his insistence on PvP to be repetitive.

[Kintobor]

I realize I need a reason to play music from Rainbow Rocks in a quest.

[Duvors]

Yep, I think I'll have to talk to Throlar about that.

[Zepher]

I enjoy that he is generally on the moral high ground, but then his hot head certainly makes him seem like a villain.

[Lind Whisperer]

To be fair, Heckz is repetitive, in how often he's annoying*.

If Lind ever goes questing with him...oh, boy...There'd be some PvP that trip...

Agreed - he reminds me of someone in my family who is much the same way(just without the hot head part). One of the reasons he's one of my favorite characters to follow.

*Kudos to Cutcobra, on your RP, by the way.

Just to let you know, most QMs don't find that a selling point.

I take it you don't consider yourself part of most QMs, then.

"When Stanley came to a set of two open doors, he entered the door on his left."

[Zepher]

Well... sometimes a good bit of PvP is required.

[Flipz]

Let's see...7, nearly 19 (don't think it actually came down to dice rolls), 30, nearly 38, sort-of 53, nearly 84, 88, 102...

I take it you don't consider yourself part of most QMs, then.

Aaand ninja'd.

Back in my day I didn't even have control over what my character did when she fought against the party in the snazziest blue outfit ever. Syndicate4Life, brah.

[Flipz]

I didn't even notice, but Decamon Drafter and Weather Mage were introduced in that order, one immediately after the other in the same post, and then Atramor and I ended up training in those two classes, in the same order, me immediately after him.

IT'S A SIGN! THE END TIMES ARE UPON US! TWO PEOPLE TRAINED IN TWO CLASSES IN THE SAME ORDER THEY WERE INTRODUCED! WINTER IS COMING!

[Khorne]

Yes, and then we (Eric & Heckz in this case) come of like we're the good guys in the team .

[Flipz]

118: WHAT EVEN IS THIS BATTLE?! The tanks are hovering around the single digits, while the the three least-armored fighters are untouched.

Also, this battle just confirms my previous analysis that Skirmisher is the single most subtly broken class in existence, followed closely by Alchemist.

[Zepher]

It's fine, Hybros has 16 health cores. What's the point of buying consumables if you're not forced to use them?

[swils]

It's the way damage is calculated. Double edged sword, helps us on defense, hurts us on offense. Having that 40 SP being factored in at the very end, instead of, say, off of the 225, really hurts the output.

Yeah, that's why I ended up buying 8 Meads in the Marketplace just now. It's incredible just how much that one x2 affects damage output--I mean, just look at how insane Ellaria's output was last battle (and she's a Druid, one of the most dedicated support classes in the game!).

...aaand I just realized I screwed up her rolls. Again. BRB.

[Endgame]

And we are back.

From this point on I'll try to run 2 rounds a day, should the BO be provided.

A quick guide to Miirym, because I just realized I haven't spelled it out:

Miirym is sensitive to the Spirit Pools, like Arthur is, like Vipera is. As a result, her "thoughts" <Like this> are audible to Arthur and other spiritually sensitive individuals; eventually, when she's grown (both in age and in mechanical Level-based maturity), she'll be able to project to anyone just like Vipera does, but not right now. It's a two-way communication with said spiritually-sensitive individuals, but it's also possible for them to shield their thoughts from her with little effort (except for Arthur; since Miirym's bond to him is so strong, it's difficult for him to hide things from her). (I.E. if a description says something like "thinks to himself/herself", I'd think of that as off-limits for Miirym to overhear.)

Miirym also has the option to speak in her native Draconic tongue, which is understandable via Animal Talk and Dragon Tamer, and looks "<Like this.>"

[Lind Whisperer]

Is she able to hear anyone's thoughts, or just "spiritually sensitive individuals"?

[K-Nut]

Thank god. That was getting a little bit confused there.

"I've been tangled in too many strings; The Hinckwells, The Ziegfrieds, The Wolfgang, all of them pulling in a different direction. One of these days, those strings are going to be cut. We just need to figure out which one to hold on to tightly..."

"I know what you mean. I've been trying to cut a few myself, but some of the strings just don't like being cut." He sighs. "Still, they say blood is thicker than water. Here's hoping the pull from some of those strings goes both ways."

Trying soooooo hard not to reference the Age of Ultron trailer right about now.

I must say, even within the first posts of Quest #125, I absolutely love all the bickering we're doing with the party dynamic.

[Flipz]

Just spiritually sensitive individuals. That part won't change over time, even after she can project to the average individual.

Yeah, I was going to have a whole bit in the Hall or Training Room with Arthur encountering the Sand Queen to explain all that, but I scrapped it for one reason or another (I think I just couldn't come up with a natural transition). I briefly considered having Valentine discuss it more, but a.) there were more pressing issues to discuss, and b.) I don't see Valentine as the sort to dig into the intricate mechanics of spirituality, I see her more as generally enlightened and more focused on the here and now. (I could be wrong, that's just my overall impression of her thus far.)

Yes, I'm extremely pleased at the amount of interaction we've managed even before the Quest proper has begun.

Also, reference away! I just won't get it, since I haven't seen any of the trailers for the most recent Marvel movies (I never seem to catch them until like the week before one of them comes out).
