Psi-clone and Amorpha wrapped up the Madeleine Curry story arc (which, hands-down, has some of the best contact dialog in the game) with a final assault on the Madame of Mystery, an AV.
\nAlso known as “pound your fists against a brick wall.” As an AV, regenned damage at a furious rate, and was highly resistant to everything but psi — and despite PC having a temp psi power, he and Amorpha hammered at her for a good 20 minutes with the health bar barely nudging down below 100%, and that only for a few moments.
\n“If anyone can hear me, we can use some powerful help,” I \/cced.
\nCC, in this case, stood for chirping crickets.
\nFortunately, we got by with a little help from our friends. Specifically, we called in Avo and Puck Bunny, who were off on other characters, but who showed up in our contact list. Avo showed up, helped pound away for a while, then suggested some other folks. Jagoro got called in, and PB was on the way (having disconnection problems), and we’d gotten Synoptic coming in and a couple of other “New Alliance” sorts were in the wings …
\n… and we finally started overcoming her resistance\/regen, esp. with a couple of high-level wolf whistle summons and steady pounding.
\nAnd we won.
\nWhew.
\nIt was interesting, and a nice demonstration of why burning of bridges is rarely a good idea. Even if I support what happened with the Alliance break-up (which I do, in principle), there are any number of individual players<\/em> and their characters on the “other” side I’d be happy to go to the assistance of, and, clearly, vice-versa.
\nWe are, after all, supposed to be heroes.
\nAnd that may well come in handy, as we start marching into the AV wars in the road up to level 50.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
