Midnyte Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Wow, this sounds fun! I always love an excuse to create a new character. 🙂 I will miss our old friend Terror Volta, but welcome your new leader of SWS. I kind of like the idea of going along with you every Sunday for the completionist run. I have never ever done that, so maybe it's time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananiac Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 That was an amazing run! Doing all the Mercy Missions with a full Team definitely felt totally different, wading through hordes of Snakes and the likes... Looking forward to Port Oakes! 1 1 That incident involving a nuclear accelerator and a banana… You know… I REALLY don't wanna talk about it!

TraumaTrain Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 Thanks, Ban! It was a lot of fun. We'll be in Mercy for some time yet. There are several contacts there, and we'll come back to it between level 15-20. This Sunday we'll jam through Doctor Creed and Mongoose. They were introduced to us by Matthew Burke and Kalinda respectively. Those four represent the original contacts from back in the day before they changed how Mercy worked. We'll also probably have time to get through Operative Kuzmin and maybe even Firewire too. (I always choose Firewire over the other option.) After that, we have Lt. Harris and then Dr. Graves will take us into Port Oakes. There are a lot of early game contacts in Mercy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TygerDarkstorm Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I was wondering if we were gonna do Kuzmin's arc; it's a fun one. Firewire is definitely the more fun arc of the two contact choices. I've never done a completionist strategy before, so this will be a fun little adventure. Teaming these early runs redside is so nice as well; some of those enemy types can really fuck up certain AT's when you're trying to solo. 2 Global: @Valnara1; Discord Handle: @Valnara#0620 I primarily play on Everlasting, but you may occasionally find me on Indom. 🙂 Notable Characters: Apocolyptica - Demons/Storm MM; Lurking Monster - Human-Form WS; Environmentabot - Bots/Nature MM; Miss Fade - Ill/Traps Controller; Sister Apocalypse - Beast/Dark MM; Dr. Elaina Wrath - Plant/Rad Controller (Join the House of Wrath, and spread the word of science!); Ruff Ruff Boom - AR/Devices Blaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraumaTrain Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 I've done a completionist run of red side a few times. I'm in the middle of one now actually with a new brute I created about a week and a half ago named Cookbook. (Fire Melee/Bio-Armor. Absolutely devastating, especially when Fury is built up.) So I have it fairly well planned out how we'll proceed along. I will post a roadmap for us so everyone can see how we'll progress. Again, totally not mandatory to get all the contacts and pause XP like I'll be doing, but it'll be super cool if you want to. If someone has to miss a week, you'll know what to do to keep up. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnt Umber Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 It's great fun so far! I have few notes/habits for these lower levels: Spoiler If flashing back, the "Snake-be-gone" temp. power from Op. Grillo's arc can be very useful here. Be careful of killing of Lt. Harris at the end of his arc, since it blocks completion of Firewire's arc in flashback. When doing paper missions, try to get as many Skulls, Lost, Trolls, and Warriors ones as possible because they spawn rarely, if at all, redside. Be careful of defeating the lone Outcast boss at the end of the Hammer of Destruction arc, since it's the only such boss redside and creates a badge progress bar maddening to fill. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris on my new characters to get the Freedom Cracker badge, and sort of simultaneously doing Dr. Graves. I like how they designed those new contacts more for new players to give some instruction about contacts, glowies, traveling on the ferry, etc, that Burke and Kalinda didn't have from the original Mercy set up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TygerDarkstorm Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Sorry y'all, I know I missed today; I was super tired and ended up sleeping in, lol.

Easy enough to catch up. We turned XP back on in Vendetti's final mission and everyone hit level 10. Next week we'll do Radio. And we also have Veluna Lunata and Dr. Grave's second arc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraumaTrain Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 We'll be doing Veluta Lunata's arcs first. Then The Radio. And then, if there's time, Dr. Graves' second arc. We'll turn our XP off at 14. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
