Thank you to the owners, Plot members, NPCs, and PCs that have made this weekend an enjoyable weekend.
Pros:
- NO MASSIVE!!!! This event was a challenging event, in my opinion, without the use of massive damage. I can't speak for anyone else but I had a number of "oh shit I might die here" moments without the use of massive damage being used this event. The Plot team, Monster Marshal, and NPCs were the cause of these moment and didn't need to use that type of damage to be able to get the PCs to run. If this trend continues this season will only get better in my opinion.
- The White Company mod was enjoyable and well run. Roving bands of NPCs attempting to capture people and ransom them off, stealing supplies and spoils from the PCs, and the fight and fade tactics being used made for an enjoyable mod. I even led a squad of PCs out to hunt the hunters and, though we didn't encounter any of the roving parties of mercenaries at point it was still fun to stalk through the woods at night hunting them.
- The Orc battle following the White Company raid was unexpected and lots of fun too. The NPCs were statted appropriately and the fighting was intense. Much enjoyment in my opinion.
- RPing with Lord Curum. Ryan......good job sir.
- No late night Kobold cleaner to disturb what little sleep I was getting do to PC drama and PvP. Would not have been as lenient this time around as I was the last time
- Stilettoing Matt Campbell's new character thinking he was a White Company assassin followed by stilettoing Slower after being stabbed in the hand as his way of stopping me from killing blowing Matt's character. The drama surrounding this event was amusing
- Saturday Barge Battle was awesome. Loved how the game mechanics were set up and executed. The limitted maneuvering space and the consequences of going into the water and me VERY leery of approaching any side of the "barge" we were on. The fighting was intense and the roles well statted.
- Winning the weapons tournament and all the questioning I received over who's weapon I decided to sharpen
Orcs cheat in tournament......for shame Slower lol
- Late night Stealth mod was enjoyable though I grumbled about being woken up after a couple of hours of sleep with being exhausted. Once it got going it was fun. Thanks for the bone being tossed to those of us who actually got out of bed to make the mod happen.
- Killing the thing that was attacking and attackedby the Brood Saturday afternoon
- No wake up Kobold Sunday morning. Was so tired from Friday/Saturday that one would not have been received well Sunday morning
- Sunday final battle was pretty great. Killing the final boss pretty much solo was awesome.
- Loot distribution was decent this game. Still seeing alot of RM tags being handed out which undermines the need for a noble that's benefit is selling RM at cheaper prices but the other rewards were decent to great depending on what was dropped. The big baddies did have some good stuff this time around so was alarge improvement from the previous event
- RP with the members of Emerald Company......love RPing with you guys.
- RP with the various non-Emerald Company members that I had. You guys and Emerald Company helped to keep an awesome event awesome when things did slow down at times.
Cons:
- Some of the combat was a tad aggressive and swings weren't pulled to not hurt people at times. This is not a complaint for myself this time around. I witnessed some NPCs and Plot members taking some pretty horrendous head shots and body shots period. I'm one of the harder hitters at times so am not pointing fingers but when attacking try to watch how hard you are hitting the smaller in stature PCs and NPCs as well as the feminine ones. As a large guy I'm not likely to complain about hard hits unless you are hitting an illegal strike zone or break one of my weapons, but, some can't handle more than the taps that are supposed to be use so take that into consideration when attacking someone. To those who head shotted Cat Mercer multiple times in one combat role you owe her a major apology and be grateful she wasn't injured from the strikes that were too hard and to an illegal strike zone.
