USH'S MATRIX GAME- General Discussion

Pretty much.

Yup

Meanwhile, I think certainly one more of the success of the system is that, with the removal of the flurry of misses, fights take place in days or a day, rather than weeks or months.

I whole-heartedly agree, even though I haven't played yet. It goes nice, fast, and smooth.

Yeah, it's definitely much faster than it was before.

Which is good. Some of those fights dragged on forever, heh.

The Mors vs. Rade fight is technically still going on.

That's what...two years old?

Yup!

*pesters Ush about bonuses for veteran players*

Not at all surprised 😛

Vet Bonuses!!!

So, Team Shez isn't doing so well. ermm

Hehehehehe.

Lana can't type well ermm

Well, the 'issues' on both sides come down, mainly, to two issues:

1. Those gun turrets

but more importantly

2. Everyone charged down the bad guys as if they were Jedi, which REALLY does not swing it in the Matrix. Just ask Trick about Azrael's SWAT fight in the Dojo!

The Shez team got additional trouble number 3, which was that their Gunners got jumped.

We haven't played Matrix in how long? Even I forgot how much harder mooks are in here.

The Shez has problem number 4, as well: We're beating the crap out of them 😛

I'm not quite sure how to deal with the SWAT. If we had hung back they still would have been shooting at us for the same sort of damage, wouldn't they?

Cover!

Or when against that many, a good time to tap Defensive powers until you get their numbers down.

I've decided to replace my useless Abundant Leaping with Preying Mantis, to use with Hook swords and sais. icon5

Hey Ush, just out of interest, since I fought the Xiao Emo, what were the powers in the v2.6 rules of Preying Mantis?

I miss gunner advantage more now...
it seems that I am just a crappier fighter, it seems my only advantage is range, but I'm worse at other things...
but maybe I just haven't figured it all out yet...

Did I never print the original Praying Mantis? It is around somewhere. It was basically the anti-power power.

Geez, tpt, I sure as hell can't work out what you are on about there! Gunners are TOO dangerous if anything, and much more lethal than they were.

But why you always feel the need to charge down enemies I have no idea. Gunnery has been all over the place on the training mission.
