![]() ![]() The mythology of vampire lore is wonderfully vast and inconsistent, meaning that players and GMs have an extraordinary amount of freedom in the kind of world and setting they want to create, and can pick and choose the themes they like without necessarily defaulting to grimmdark. That said…even if you are completely and 100% happy with WoD mechanics I still think that Undying has something to offer. However, as a personal preference, I have not had the best track record with the World of Darkness system mechanics, and I quite enjoy the more player facing and narrative driven style found in PbtA games. While I haven’t taken a look at the new 5th Edition yet, the early returns and story choices that I have heard about from other players might mean that I rectify that soon. As I have said before, and I will say again, I like the setting of the RPG that is likely the most famous, Vampire: The Masquerade. While Undying is hardly the first vampire-centric RPG, it certainly has space to occupy. I briefly mentioned the game, and my reasons for wanting to play it in our October Cannibal Halfling Radio podcast, but I believe that the game deserves a broader explanation. Which is what has brought me to Undying by Magpie Games. So when I find out that the company that is both behind my favorite Powered by the Apocalypse game ( Masks) and already knows how to do horror well ( Bluebeard’s Bride) already has such a game on the shelf…well, I couldn’t stay away. Toss in a large chunk of my formative years suffused with badass supernatural bloodsuckers brought to life in films such as Blade, Underworld, Interview with the Vampire, and Queen of the Damned (plus TV shows such as Buffy, Angel and Hellsing) and you get a player who, even now, gets giddy at the chance to play in a game with a vampire focus. I honestly think that they are an excellent concept in supernatural action and horror, largely due to much of their mythos having easy ties to profound themes such as seduction, addiction, lost innocence, alienation, and the loss of humanity. It's a great achievement to have but it's not the end of the world if someone dies.I have a confession to make: I’m a fan of vampires in fiction. Most of all, don't put too much pressure on each other. (I was kiting and felt more secure as resto so i went ahead and changed specs) Thankfully with the duelspec you can have a dps that can double as a healer for the more riskier fights, but if there're any doubts beforehand, go with 3 healers. My advice to anyone attempting this is to stay calm, and play boss fights safe (no zerg tactic on gothik) and make sure that you have experienced players doing the risky jobs (such as kiting on Gluth, and MCing). Thank Blizz for speed potions and quick reflexes xD There was a heart racing moment when two of our dps got ice blocked at Saph's head and tail, and we were sure that someone would get hit by the aoe. We were very melee heavy (I was the only ranged dps and doubled as a third healer) but luckily we had a fantastic group of mature people, and a RL who constantly reminded us to "focus!". ![]() Stay out of void zones, don't pull aggro on abominations, heal frost tombes.Ĭomment by chthoniaJust did this achievement tonight in a PuG, and it was without a doubt the most stressful KT fight. KELTHUZAD: DO NOT USE A SECOND TANK TO TANK THE ADDS, play it safe and have 1 tank pick them up and have the other tank DPS, If you made it this far I'm pretty sure you wouldn't wnat the tank dying from an ice block, THE MT CANNOT BE ICEBLOCKED=Safe. Sapphiron: Pretty easy with 3 healers, Don't get cleaved, Decurse, stay out of blizzard Heigan: Make sure you can dance, dispell diseases, DO NOT Standin the poison cloud when running back up after dancing. DC'ing is rare, and people usually alt f4 to use this as an excuse.įour horsemen: Get experienced players to do the back Thaddius: Completley easy, Go easy on DPS for the adds so you don't pull aggro on the first tank throw, and the rest is either, do you have smart people or stupid people. [Focus them to see how many stacks they have for getting hit Gluth: Get experienced kiters, if they need help, send help back there.
