Path of the Vampire forum

So, Eve and Lea went hunting today.

We've found out that it's definitely an absolute winner when it comes to power based characters like the wendigo spirits. When it comes to creatures like The Maw, however, a duo of two characters is not any comparison to the creatures in there (i.e. they still got their asses handed to them).

How are others fairing? Has it helped? Has it hindered you any?

I'm not sure if it's bug or feature, but I noticed it seemed to be one person hitting/taking hits for a few turns before the other person jumped in or got a chance to hit. Maybe it was just their settings, but it'd be nice to see it a bit more even.

eta: we added a third and it seemed to help the balance a bit, but not fully.

If you ladies are up for a threesome tomorrow, let me know? I'll have a couple of times on Monday to play around, on and off. And I can pretty much pick which times I'll get be free to play around starting this week.

That put my mind in the gutter #JustSayin

But I wonder if you can make a team with your thralls?

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Keep it coming!

I would expect that a team of four fairly high levelled characters could take on just about anything in the game right now, but I could be wrong. Constant feedback will be helpful for this, as we want to keep certain areas challenging even for a team of four level 70s.

Lol Micah and Vel had a go in The Maw. It didn't go so well

I think Kitty's working late, but if we manage to do a run today, I'll definitely poke you. <3

You should be able to? It's set up like a team raid, but you pretty much just need to have your team in the surrounding squares before attacking. I wouldn't, though, personally, and would try to just set up a group of players even if it's just a quick "hey come play with me."

Aw, poor Micah and Vel. Our second run we took Jayd with us and we beat up wendigo spirits - it was pretty great balance.

Definitely will keep it coming back from my end!

I've noticed that since the Team Battle update that it seems the NPC battles have seemed to shift in power? I've heard that quite a few others aren't winning as many times as they had previous to it, as well.

Can confirm that. Amalea never used to miss more than 1-2 Hildrs every couple days, since Team battles she's lucky if she can kill one a day.

Also seeing issues on other characters that can't kill the same creatures that they've been consistently killing before the update (Ancient Zombies, Mooncalf, Feral Vampires, both types of Disciples).
