I’ve not been playing much CoX of late — but when we have gotten on, we’ve been having fun with the “Who Will Die?” signature arc tales they’ve been putting out on a monthly basis. The story arc hasn’t been wildly gripping, but the scenarios and set work have been fun. And they’ve done some great stuff in varying them between how they work for heroes vs. villains.
What’s actually been fun is running them with our full stable of alts. Different power combinations make for different ways to get through, blast through, eke through the same scenario. Part of it depends on what level prestige level we’re at going in. Having good stealth make things easier (or not). Some of our sets are more vulnerable to debuffs than others.
Each scenario takes us about 30 minutes to complete (make it 45 the first time through), so it’s not a huge time sink, which is nice.
Each progressive story has been staged at a minimum 10 levels higher. That meant our normal Victory stable was short on bodies on the most recent tale … so we’ve started dusting of our Old Stable of folks over on Champion … which gets pretty embarrassing, because the 50s there are all into SOs and don’t have their Inherent Fitness respecced and …
(Psi-Clone and Amorpha still kick ass. Even downgraded to lower levels.)
