Tues or Thursday might also work for me this week.   Let's shoot for Tuesday first and then fall back (or do it again) on thursday.

 

I really enjoyed it last night even with the 10 failed runs straight.

That's fine, we'll stop long enough for you to have your juice box, Rico. :)

I should still be good for tonight around 9pm.

I'm really liking this game.  Lots of fun.

The Bright Witch is a bit of a bitch to play with the overheating and the damage you take, but I've done some reading and think I have a bit more of a handle on it.

I was missing a key mechanic that causes me to take more damage by manually venting off my extra heat rather than just letting it cool down naturally.  (Going to test it out with some bots this afternoon)

I think we should go back to play on normal for a couple of the maps we have done and get some better loot.

Agreed, this is a lot of fun.  Last night the two maps we did were very cool and different than anything we played the first session.  I like how we actually have to figure things out and we're learning so much as we go. 

I need to look more into my class as well to make sure I'm not missing anything.

I confirmed my theory that I was basically killing myself :)

Bright Witch has a heat bar...something like this

|----------|-------|----------|

As she casts spells it heats up from the inside out.

|----------|-*****-|----------|

The middle of the bar is the safe zone.  Once you pass the safe zone to you are overheating, we'll call it the danger zone.

|--------**|*******|**--------|

If you fill up the bar entirely, you explode.

You can vent the heat off which rapidly reduces your heat.  This is where I misunderstood the mechanic.

I thought that once I was in the overheating zone I was taking damage so I always vented my excess heat when I got into the danger zone, and avoided going too high into the danger zone. 

It turns out I had it backwards.

If you vent off heat while in the safe zone, everything is cool. *rimshot* 
However, Venting off heat in the danger zone actually causes damage to yourself.  It's a trade off for the ability to cast more spells without overheating.  At it's core it's a health to mana spell.

If I let the heat cool off naturally, it is much slower but it causes no damage.

I can run the heat right up to the edge of explosion 

|-********|*******|********-|

And I will take no damage from overheating.  I can then switch to the sword to let it cool down naturally.

Before, every singe time I was peeking into the danger zone I vented and took damage.

Bottom line is now I can actually be a little more free with pouring on the damage when needed without taking a health hit unless I really decide it's worth the risk/reward.

Now we know...and knowing is half the battle...

So Thursday is a wash I think.

Friday is pretty unlikely for me at this point.  Console games with the neighbour.  If he passes out early I might be on. :)

Next potential other than that is Sunday.

Also, I vote next time we use Mumble. (Pain, set it up now)

The in game is good for pick up groups, but since we are static mumble makes more sense and doesn't cut out in the cut scenes and post-game.
