Aryanni_Sanguine: ignore the backstory stife, it's shitty and must change, I was on a lame kick that night
Minur_Deepdelve: Sudden realization, all of us are defenders.
Strife_II: Oh really?  I... hmm.  I don't have anything else ready.
Strife_II: Eh, it might work.
Minur_Deepdelve: *shrug*
Minur_Deepdelve: It'll go as it will.
Minur_Deepdelve: You're part leader though so that'll definitely help.
Strife_II: yup
Strife_II: and I have near-striker damage
Strife_II: I like flexible characters.
Strife_II: Minur, can you link your sheet?
Draegli joined #pwot_dnd2.
Strife_II: Yeah, I definitely won't do as well with all these defenders
Strife_II: My tactics depend on making enemies attack me
Draegli: what class are you?
Strife_II: Fighter | Runepriest
Draegli: I'm just full Runepriest
Draegli: I guess this is the Defender/Leader group
Strife_II: OH really?  Nice.
Strife_II: Runepriests are great, I just wish they'd give them more support
Strife_II: And I suppose I should make a striker/controller for next time
Draegli: Or I could just switch to Adam if we need a striker
Strife_II: Draegli's already here, right?
Strife_II: And Adam's on Eberron or something?
Draegli: Yeah, that's true
Draegli: I figured this wasn't all that serious though, is this counting as an actual "canon" thing?
Strife_II: I don't know
Strife_II: Ideally, everything would be canon
Strife_II: Uh... did the map disappear?
Strife_II: I finally got into Scribblar, but the map itself is gone
Draegli: yeah, it's saying connection lost
Aryanni joined #pwot_dnd2.
Aryanni quit.
Sanguine joined #pwot_dnd2.
Aryanni_Sanguine quit.
Strife_II: We never did finish that Let's Play
Draegli: I haven't played DF in a long time
Strife_II: I'm tempted to take a weekend and just play one more year of it to finish everything up
Strife_II: the next version looks incredible
Draegli: I'm afraid that if I start playing again I'll get sucked in again
Draegli: What's in the next version?
Strife_II: oh god, so much
Strife_II: cities
Strife_II: all the night creatures
Strife_II: magic
Strife_II: a lot of caravan arc stuff
Strife_II: books
Draegli: wait, I forgot the ACTUAL question
Draegli: how much of that will work as intended?
Draegli: and/or screw up something that already exists
Strife_II: Well, of course it'll be terribly buggy at first
Strife_II: in I expect hilarious ways
Strife_II: but most of this stuff is for Adventure Mode, Legends, and trade.
Draegli: ah, ok
Draegli: I didn't touch Adventure Mode for a long time, but when I did it was a lot of fun
Draegli: just straight up murdering cheetahs in horrible ways
Strife_II: yeah, I have a hard time playing Dwarf Mode because I'm such a perfectionist
Draegli: I'm kinda the same way
Strife_II: but it's a lot easier to take Losing is Fun in stride as an adventurer
Draegli: I just like controlling the one guy
Draegli: DF Mode has way too much micromanagement for my taste
Strife_II: my favourite adventurer was a human ninja woman
Draegli: especially after a couple migrations
Draegli: I always just make a dwarf axe person
Strife_II: double longswords, no armour, super stealth
Strife_II: assassinated a roc
Draegli: I get murdered by swarms of boogeymen every time
Draegli: but I take half of them with me
Strife_II: then climbed a mountain, blundered into a yak, and got trampled to death
Strife_II: Boogeymen are great later on, because they give lots of XP and are really small
Draegli: I downloaded Gemclod so I could try and reclaim its lost treasure in Adventure Mode
Strife_II: but before that, you really need to sleep in towns
Draegli: Yeah, I figured that part out.
Strife_II: That sounds fun.
Draegli: It is, it just literally takes 10 minutes to load up when you get there
Draegli: there's that much stuff
Strife_II: Reclaiming other people's treasures is great.  I went and explored Headshoots once
Strife_II: it was crazy
Strife_II: yeah, the scattering
Strife_II: bins are really important
Draegli: The worst thing about exploring Gemclod is that the final few overseers just completely blocked off every entrance imaginable
Draegli: To get in you literally have to swim down to the bed of the river, into an underwater tunnel, through the underwater canals, and then up into some random passageway that you have to break out of
Strife_II: Oh yeah, that sucks
Strife_II: Fake entrances are also terrible
Draegli: There weren't any fake entrances, it's just that the main one was blocked by a lake of lava, multiple walls, and an alligator aquarium
Draegli: also I couldn't figure out how to work the hatches on the roof
Draegli: that would have made it easier, I think
Strife_II: probably a lever inside the place
Strife_II: but the fake entrances are from my experiences with Headshoots
Draegli: there were lots of levers on the roof, I figured one of those would have worked
Draegli: but I guess not
Draegli: well, while we're on break, HOLY BALLS MASS EFFECT 3 HAS 4 PLAYER CO-OP
Strife_II: ah, so that's the big announcement
Draegli: it's a separate part, you don't play as Shepard. Let me pull up the thing real quick
Draegli: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/323/index/8481789/1
Strife_II: That looks interesting
Strife_II: I like how the co-op and single player campaigns interact
Draegli: I'm just excited that you make a separate custom character for it
Draegli: and you can be different races
Draegli: Turian all the way
Strife_II: reminds me of how the new EVE FPS works with the existing MMO
Sanguine: That did looke most interesting, dust 141 yes?
Strife_II: Dust something, yeah
Sanguine: Intruiging, I was sad to learn its only on ps3, cant wait for me3 though, been waiting for coop for ages
