Tonight was my time to finish my run through the SSA #1 Who Will Die arc. Even though i only started on this project 4 days ago, it's been one of those things where my character has grown in power as I get closer to the end. At 42 and well IO'd, Princess Ozma is already a very tough brute and a good fun character to play.
I worked my way through SSA 1.6 with Penelope Yin tagging along. I just have to say, that final mission -- escort someone through not one, but TWO Oranbega maps, then fight your way back to the beginning through rualruu, then you fail in your objective (which was preordained and you pretty much already knew that) but you still have to go back to the end of the two maps just so you can find out what you already know....
What Dev came up with that one? :p
Anyway, I moved on to SSA 1.7 which I'd never run before, but it is an awful lot of fun, and of course the famous fight out in space in the final mission -- I took a lot of pictures. I need to run my space-themed characters Jennie Nova and Dilithium Flower through that too this week so I can take pictures of them out in space. And then there's the news conference after -- that's a very nice touch. I was nice and didn't throw Manticore under the bus, but only because I'm nice.
If you haven't run SSA 1.7 yet, you really owe it to yourself to do so while you still can, for the unique mission maps, if nothing else.
My friends wanted to run something but it was late, so it had to be something short. So we ran a Penelope Yin TF. That's 30 minutes well spent!
I really feel like my opportunities to do things like this are slowly slipping away. It's not clear how many of my friends will still be around in a week or two weeks, or in mid October. So every chance I get to run a task force with them is good, because it might possibly be my last chance. So yeah -- had fun again tonight, hope to do it tomorrow.
