Darn, you were again faster than me. I just downloaded the Dungeon Siege Demo and want to install it at home - read a lot of good things about - how is your impression?
Oh, we are on an AO board, jaja, I come back to the topic.
-> Missions and reward. To get your XP/token now, you have 'ensure' a minimum number (5?) of MOBs per mission area, otherwise nada. I too often encountered grey cave type mission with 3 or less MOBs in there and didn't get a token(XP) - sigh (at least the money matters at Vermeers level). Though I have to say, I like this rule. Would be nice to have some more knowledge about mission setup, but what we have is a start.
-> Engis: Cough, cough. Ya know, old brother, Max is neutral, I like to be neutral and so on. But, Omni-1 is a great place to go shopping and prices are, let's say, better for OT folks (it makes a difference, especially in the lower levels). And one thing, Max for sure can't do, is making implants and other use of the trade skill compartment. So, what came to my mind - an OT Engi. I wouldn't call him a Twink, he is well equipped - I seldomly equip something I can't put in on my own, but I am quite efficient in implant switching by now. Nevertheless, got a trader and MP as friend ... .
Homo Nano. Actually, I thought the Nano Pool would be larger, I based my thougths on the old 4/3/3/2 rule, but wrong again. So far, no major problems. I wear 3 up to date HP implants plus board, not enough for a fight on my own (above con green) but my bot makes up for it. Trimmers are quite effective if used properly.
What puzzles me a lot, is that outdoor hunting is fun with Vermeer but almost impossible with my Adv - wrong world in my eyes. Just don't miss the right time point to leave the scene if things go wrong. Once my bot got aggro from 8(!) muddevil salamanders - man they stick together.
So long,
Max(imilian)
