Deadly_Nightshade Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'm currently playing my latest bargain-bin find - Timeshift! "Geez.

Gorth Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 linky the full game were pretty darn neato. is kinda like warcraft 3 w/o all the annoying resource management. am gonna dig up and see if we can get to run on our pc. HA! Good Fun! I remember the wargamers discussing back then whether or not it was possible to convert Warhammer into a computer setting. They can be just as passionate as computer gamers when their favourite franchises are involved In the end, Dark Omen put the (harshest) critics to shame by being a real little gem. Much better than Chaos Gate (a Warhammer 40k tactical combat game ala xcom) anyway. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Aristes Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Joined a group in progress in L4D. Found out that, if I join a game on the last level, I don't get the expert achievement. That sucks, 'cause I was left in a pretty sucky way when I signed into the game. ...And with the disconnects and lack of time, it's hard for me to sit down for the entire time to finish a campaign. Anyhow, I was knocked down by a tank. We killed the tank and a smoker manages to snag one of my fellow players. I can't even see the smoker and I'm firing carefully to keep from hitting the other player. Lying on my back, using my pistols firing at the smoker with Zoey in between the smoker and me, I managed to take out the monster just as the other player ends up in the thing's clutches. She comes over to revive me. We open a door to let out our two resurrected companions. We continue to finish the last level. Blood Harvest. I tell you what, that was a damned rewarding experience. L4D multiplayer can be just plain stupid. So, we've got a good group. We've made it past the first two maps on No Mercy without a death. We're moving along and one of the people gets dced. So someone else joins. Then his two friends call for a vote to kick the new guy. Okay, I want to keep the group because we're pwning the mobs, right? Well, the guy can't rejoin our game. There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth. The one friend says, "We're going to start over again. If you want to join us, great." I don't have time to restart the campaign, so I get the shaft. And our stats were great and the mobs feared us and AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Damn it! Or the time when we're struggling along but making progress when some stupid ass comes in hopped up on weed or something and starts singing songs and screaming and acting like an idiot stick. He needed a swift boot to the backside. Jackass. So, L4D is fun, but frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Valve made it so that the campaign Expert achievements were cumulative I think (so if you did the last two levels in one play through and the first three in another play through you get the achievement). I THINK, I'm not sure on that. Also your post about the party swap outs is why I usually play with friends or if the friend leaves I quickly invite another friend to the game.

Rosbjerg Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Yeah, it really is much more fun to play the game with people you know you can depend on. I've joined a group called Looking 4 difference, with people who value teamplay and fairness - it's actually great to play with random people you know will play fair and is just looking for a good time.

Pope Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Just started SoZ. How come, after I create my first character, the campaign immediately loads? I don't even get the option of creating the other 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deraldin Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Just started SoZ. How come, after I create my first character, the campaign immediately loads? I don't even get the option of creating the other 3. You get the option of creating more characters later. Before you head below decks, the captain tells you to check the log book or something. You can create/add new characters to your party from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) How necessary is a rogue in SoZ? Anyone have a link to a good warlock build? Edited February 6, 2009 by Pope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I havent played the game but Ive read numerous times that you want a good rogue or ranger or your Overland Map experience will be about as fun as slamming your testicles in a door.

Enoch Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) How necessary is a rogue in SoZ? You absolutely need someone with good Hide/Move Silently skills to be your overland map leader. Apart from that, pure rogue is probably overkill (a multi-classed character or a Ranger or Monk works fine), but they are more useful than they were in the original campaign. Traps are more deadly than they were (but they're still not particularly common), and, much like in MotB, there are a few locks that are un-Knock-able.

Pope Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Gah, and I thought it was already hard enough to pick one character. Now I have to create 4. So far I have: Yuan-Ti Pureblood Ranger/Rogue Air Genasi Favored Soul of Talos (later Stormlord) Fire Genasi Fighter (later Frenzied Berserker) Aasimar Warlock I hope the level adjustments won't be too much of a hindrance.

Starwars Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Aasimar Warlock I'd recommend taking Hellfire Warlock levels as soon as you can (I believe level 9 if you plan out your abilities/skills right). It makes the class a lot more fun to play.

It depends. With 50/50 multiclasses or spellcasters it can drag you down because you can't cast higher level spells quickly or whatnot. Survival and Hide/Move are the best skills for the Overland leader IMO, because the former spikes up the movement speed and the latter lets you avoid +90% of all encounters. There are also mods out there now that reduce the encounter rate.
