Six-Six Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 I noticed that you and I would target the same enemy for snipe. So I let you go first or pick the one I normally won't pick. In any case, I overestimated my strength. got woozy after a couple of runs. Nothing a nap wouldn't fix though. I'll get stronger for next run. My Toons

cranebump Posted January 17, 2022 Author Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) So, playing through Lorenzo Tate's DE arc (he's in IP). You end up having to take down these crystals: The object is immobile and has no attack capabilities of its own, and is unable to regenerate hit points at all, but is able to summon Devouring Earth spawns to its defense. These beings will be summoned at the aggroing player's location in full groups. So, the first time I sniped one of these, I got the ambush mob on my location, PLUS the spawn guarding the Crystal. DE debuffs. Boulders flying everywhere. Thorns. Backhanded KB melee attacks. Plus I dragged an additional spawn from below the loc: OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW! (This is me running the wrong damned way) Got smart and cleared the surrounding mobs first via pulls, THEN dealt with the crystal. Hit it, ran toward it to give myself some space from ambush spawn. MUCH easier. However, that first faceplant reminded me why we slow play. I don't think I ever played this arc on Live. It was actually something new to me. Overall, it's a well done arc, as well. No hunts. An interesting NPC in the Black Sands mish: I still have the finale (more crystals and a defeat all in a cave in PP). But, all in all, this one is very good. Recommended! P.S. You can also get this one from Eliza Thorpe. Edited January 17, 2022 by cranebump I have done a TON of AE work, both long form and single arc. Just search the AE mish list for my sig @cranebump.

cranebump Posted January 17, 2022 Author Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Azbot got directly into action with Cerulean Cipher today. A wide range of missions taking us to KR, AP, and PP. Speaking of: What we thought BEFORE we entered the mission (with all that toxic mess).:-) Azbot ended up L6. Cipher got his Sergeant rank. All is well (if not incredibly toxic when Vahz are around).

cranebump Posted January 21, 2022 Author Posted January 21, 2022 Greetings, hombres. We've had some interest, thanks to the mention in General Discussion. We have a recruit comin' in, provided I can be online to invite 'em. Sent a global friend request. Maybe I'll see 'em tonight. For the moment, I'm online running various toons today, until about 7 EST. So, if anyone's on early, hit me up. If I'm not on a Rider, message me in global, and I'll switch ASAP.

cranebump Posted January 26, 2022 Author Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Greets, Riders! I'll be on the hoss THU late afternoon through the evening this THU. In the meantime, getting a a few arcs in, namely this one: Oops...guess you did...:-) Update on ol’ Tracklash here: now at L21. Have crafted some IO drops, but still running mainly on SOs and a few DOs. I slotted some of the special enhancements you can get from Mr. Yin. Have 133 merits to if I need a quick $$ boost. Trackie’s proven decent as a boss killer so far, thanks to the DM debuffs (and judicious use of Insps and that one little heal he’s got). I did not take on all three of the AVs at once in the PMC (or PCM or whatever) finale. Let them beat each other up and ended up taking on Castillo and weakened Nocturne. Captain said he liked my threads. Nice of him. 🙂 Edited January 27, 2022 by cranebump I have done a TON of AE work, both long form and single arc. Just search the AE mish list for my sig @cranebump.

On that note: we have some bad weather rolling in, likely to lead to school cancellations (for which we already prepared 2 days' assignments and sent them home with the rascals). If so, I'll likely be on tonight, and will for sure be on WED/THU. Oh-and we got a new member! Hope I'm not spelling it wrong here, but WELCOME LITHOFEAR!

cranebump Posted February 1, 2022 Author Posted February 1, 2022 Speaking of members: Haven't see @Dona Eis Requiem in a bit. Hope everything is a-okay. They did a lot of base building. Chatted with @Black Talon for a while. And have run with @AboveTheChemist teaming Cerulean Cipher with Tracklash. Adulting sucks, to be sure, but here's hoping we'll all run into each other at some point. And before I forget: there's LOTS of room to add to the base, for folks who like that. We have some great stuff there already. Since this is a weak area for me, maybe I fiddle with some little corner. Acrobattle's backstory paints him as a baker.

Dona Eis Requiem Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Hiya hey! Yes, all's well but busy. I'm in a bit of a hiatus I suppose. I'll be back but it may be a few weeks yet before that happens. In the meanwhile, happy hunting to you all!

In the meantime, happy trails and all that. FYI, all: crane is gonna be running this evening for awhile. Might need to step off here soon for a quick break to visit with spouse when they get back from work. After that, I'll be mounted up and moving. Would love to get Azbot in play in a support role.

AboveTheChemist Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 I have definitely had a great time so far with this group. The slow journey has been really rewarding, and I've been taking it slower than most, keeping my XP off unless I am teamed and running my missions. There's so much lower level content that I don't want to outlevel it! I will be on shortly for most of the evening.

cranebump Posted February 2, 2022 Author Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Azzie and CC running against Vahz: Did we bite off more than we can chew? Nahhhh... (...yes...) Took care of Vahzie pollutants, then off to nail Clocks in FL: And it was special... Nice run! Vahz were tough at this level, but CC owned the clocks. Azzie went from 6 to 12 when all was said and done. The game shines when you let it! Edited February 2, 2022 by cranebump 2 I have done a TON of AE work, both long form and single arc.
