Bye, I'd say I'm going to miss this but honestly it's been more like watching an old friend slowly killing themselves with a drug addiction as they slowly turn into an angry husk of themselves

Things used to be pleasant. Now they aren't.

Projeck didn't join until v2.

Oh. So I was right then (unless Rag rejoins).

Care to elaborate?

I'm assuming that he's referring to the various arguements that have raged throughout the OOC thread over the months. It is the most obvious thing after all.

The tone and scope also changed quite a bit, so that could be another reason. There was a bit of spectacle creep as well seeing as the first one was about some unimportant combatants in a war that really only had Earth at stake and no other supernatural entities cared. By v2, pantheons started getting involved and there was the position of God at stake. Now the entire universe is basically at stake, something which some of the lore probably wasn't really built to handle.

I guess it was something that happened toward the end of 2/beginning of 3. I think I liked the second version best since it was stupid and fun... actually, now that I think about it, I think I started having less fun when the order plot happened.

Yeah, I kinda regret running the Order plot. It could have been handled so much better (granted I did want to stop running it due to constant whining...) So yeah :/

and thus, Akroma left for her new place, having no internet for basicaly forever oh god kill me now until thursday. Don't burn the place down until then.


Also, I dont think it's a thing about the game per-say, but the fact that it has gone on for so long. It's the usual forum-syndrome. You may have noticed it, when you are new in a forum you post a lot, and its all fun and you know people, and have a million posts a day, and eventually you, and the people you know post less, while new people post more, and eventually the old people start dropping, wanting the old forum back. However its not the forum, its them that have changed. The game has been going on for years now, and the old users have started growing out of it and developing new stuff to go to, trying to bask in nostalgia of the olde times. Happens to all of us.

That or various things get in the way of enjoyment. Eh, we digress. Walpurga shall go on the plot alone cause I'd rather not wait.

I just realized that Hakim doesn't have this second perk yet, so...

Quote
Support Defend II: Hakim's Support Defend ability can activate twice a round instead of only once. Additionally when Support Defend activates the target of the attack takes no damage. Hakim still receives half damage, modified by his appropiate defensive stat, as usual.

Does this look good? Gotta spread the tankiness around, I think.

The no damage thing makes me wince, although I'm not exactly sure why. Still, since it can only be casted twice per fight, it isn't that bad. I'll await for my Co-GM's to confirm this with me, since apparently my lack of complete foresight is unsatisfactorily lacking.

Err... It's not twice per fight, it's twice per round. The target of Hakim's Support Defend gets him to interfere in two attacks against them. After that they're on their own. It also doesn't activate against AoE attacks either. As such it's most useful against small numbers of powerful enemies, such as bosses. Against swarms, multiple attacks and AoE it's not particularly helpful.

Oh, and Hakim can use an action to change whoever he's Defending. It's limited to one person, but as long as he's alive he'll keep on taking hits for them.

Seems fine to me, although it would be nice if Hakim's sheet was in the op  :P
