Bill Z Bubba Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Thanks to the ease of getting T4ed farming Heather's arc, DA has seen far more of my game time than any other zone except MAYBE Cimerora. Cuz I do love me some ITFs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyotedancer Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 The DA arcs are all good fun... I'm fond of both the big dust-up at the end of Dream Doc's arc where everyone and their Titan mech shows up to the party and that "Go beat up that entire monster army. With or without help."-business. XD 1 Taker of screenshots. Player of creepy Oranbegans and Rularuu bird-things.

merrypessimist Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 It's a great zone, but really after your fifteenth time through it it loses some of the luster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greycat Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I ... honestly like the old DA better. It had such a unique atmosphere, and the "vanishing" civilians (well, their ghosts) and fog were great. The new one's got content, sure, but it's more "city zone with red and a kind of weird corner." Mind you, I started to like old (well, echo) DA on a character *with teleport,* so it took a little figuring out at one point how to get around - didn't change my opinion though. 4 Primarily on Everlasting. Squid afficionado. Former creator of Copypastas. General smartalec. I tried to combine Circle and DE, but all I got were garden variety evil mages.

Carnifax Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Personally I think DA is trying too hard. EVERYTHING is dark and edgy. The sewers run with blood (cos of course they do). Even warehouses are full of mist and darkness. Mot is way too much of an Edgelord (except for that Mario bit where they eat people, that always makes me laugh). I mean I know your an ancient god of death etc etc but do you have to be all Blood! Spines! Flesh! about it? 3 My level 50 builds [Bullitt Time : DP/Kin Corruptor] [Carnifax : Ill/Dark Controller] [Kerriae : Plant/Storm Controller] [Echinoderm : Bio/Spines Tank] [Iron Brew : Mace/Rad Brute] [Snookered : Staff/NRG Brute] [iScream : Ice/Ice Scrapper] [Binman : Savage/Shield Stalker] [Modul-8 : Time/Sonic Defender] [Concussion Blast : Fire/NRG Domi] [Orblivion : Dark/Martial Domi] [Mombie : Necro/Nature MM] [Tempore : Water/Time Blaster] [Thermodynamic Flux : Ice/Fire Blaster] [Carni's Online CombatLog Parser Alpha] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the former, I would really like to know who came up with the Mario nom nom nom, and how much they were trolling the rest of the dev team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyotedancer Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) I think of the more cheeseball bits as a feature rather than a bug... Horror-style stories that come up in the middle of regular, not-Horror-as-a-genre comics titles usually tend to be on the cheesy side. DA matches that tone pretty well... Rather or not that was intentional? I have no clue. But then, I have no idea if the comics writers do that intentionally or not, either, so... again... it seems fitting.

I used to wish mightily that the GMs would maybe lift the fog one day a year so we could see the whole zone... and now I'd much prefer to have the fog and the vanishing civs back. It's just another zone now.

A Cat Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 It's one of my favorites to be sure. I like arc of arcs, and the story is good. I did think it was legit creepy personally. And as others said, it is badass seeing all the dudes from everywhere showing up to fight the BP. It's a real "fuck yeah" moment on par to the end of Night Ward when a certain witch ghost shows up to steal the show (and something else). 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
