CELLFIRE - It's All In The State Of Mind - [Arc ID 25000]

[Lex Talion]

 

Drama, Horror and Mad Science

A 5-mission adventure aiming at low level characters, turning backyard heroes into champions.

 

 

 

 

• The Great:     CELLFIRE is designed as an alternative to DFB and DIB. The arc is completely soloable with any AT and power combo.
• The Catch:     Compared to DFB/DIB you will work for your XP.

• ---

  The Great:     CELLFIRE has a lot of story and fluff:  customized descriptions, clues with visual aids, memorable NPCs and a contact with a moustache.
• The Catch:     If you don't read the story you might miss the gorilla. XP work without reading though.

• ---

  The Great:     Mission difficulty is increasing, constantly encouraging you to learn and get used to your character.
• The Catch:     Mission difficulty is increasing, requiring you to learn and get used to your character.

• ---

  The Great:     CELLFIRE is a target rich environment, but has no 'Defeat All' missions.
• The Catch:     If you crave XP you may want to 'Defeat All' anyway, but nothing bad happens if you miss that odd mob in the corner.

Feedback is highly appreciated, either in this thread or as forum PM.

 

 

Tips:

• Read the story description. (No AVs, really, it's pointless.)
• Turn on 'NPCs Dialogue'
• Helpers don't proact, they react. Helpers also can't tell a player from an NPC ally. I can't help it.
• It takes 2 pieces of common salvage to get Mag 10 KB protection for 90 minutes from an empowerment station. Just saying.
• Raising difficulty by level lowers your own level during the mission instead

Awesome arc. It's a good alternative for DFB, except with an actual story. Definitely check it out!

Thoroughly enjoyed this. And there's a moment in the final mission where you turn a corner and go "oh hell!". Recommended.

It's good, isn't it?

I play this on about half my new characters. This week I've played it with 5 new techno-gods I made, to get up to about level 20 quickly while not getting bored. I love this arc, although it often feels like cheating to play it.

It's no more "cheating" than DFBing, and definitely less so when compared with power leveling in a farm!
