[Shepenwepet]

Welcome, Kaidan Fan! Let me add my GTs to the pile: Shepenwepet and Wizardy5. Shepenwepet's pawn is Shinon, an Infinity-level ranger or strider(95% of the time, the remaining 5% he's... not himself)

Spoiler

 

Wizardy5's pawn, Zihark,  is close to level 80, he's more magical.

Spoiler

 

 

Coldi pretty much summed everything up nicely, if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. We're a good community here, we'll help you out.

Shinon looks smexy in that shot, @Shepen.

Zi looks a tad......possessed.

[Shepenwepet]

@Aedan - I pretty much exclusively use Ranger and Assassin, which gives me access to the zooming skills, Meteor/Comet Shot and Keen/Lyncean Sight. I also always - ALWAYS - have an elite lantern lit, and the radiance augment equipped. I usually also have a ring of desiccation, which makes me immune to the drenched status, allowing me to roll in water to my heart's content.

 

To get good shots of your pawns, either pick them up and put them down to start their "dusting off" animation to keep them in place, or talk to them to do the same thing. Back away several feet, enter Lyncean/Comet and aim away from them - ideally you'd want to aim exactly in the opposite direction from them, but I usually aim at the floor to my right. Once the skill is finished zooming, hit start and look around. If your pawns aren't appearing in the spot they were, or are transparent, that means you're too close, so you'd have to move farther away. Before you unpause to do so, make sure you still have the aim button held down, because restarting the skill eats away precious seconds. Oh, and if your pawns look poorly rendered and have no friggin' eyes, that means you're too far. You have to go pretty far away for this to happen.

 

Battle shots are much easier. Say you're in a fight with a bunch of goblins in a hallway. Run alongside the action (not into it) and enter lyncean sight, making sure not to aim directly at anything - it's best to aim at the floor or the wall). Enter the share menu and look around at what you've got. Do this seven billion more times. I sometimes find a shot that I know would be better a few frames of animation down the road, so I hammer the start button over and over again until i get what I want.

 

If you still care about not dying in fights, maybe ignore the "seven billion more times" thing, because you will die if you don't pay attention.

 

Happy picture taking!

Thanks again coldwetn0se and thanks for the welcomes Curious and shepenwepet

 

I will add you both next time I am on.  I had started on replaying the story again but maybe I will hop over to the island and sneak around a bit.  Once I get all my vocation ranks on warrior I think I'm going to change.  I'm not doing so well as a warrior   I think I like ranged stuff better, so maybe I'll try a sorcerer.

 

Everyones pawns are so pretty.  Maybe I'll work on my guy a bit   His name is boring: Nicholas, lol

Once we all get a chance to rent your pawn, feel free to switch his vocation to get a variety of weapons/armor gifted to you. For example, if your Arisen is currently a Warrior, I have a Ur-Dragon drop (the two handed weapon, Dwells-in-Light), that might be much more powerful than the weapon your Arisen is currently using. You could switch your pawn briefly to Warrior, sleep at an Inn (which will update him to the Rift), then switch your pawn back to the vocation you were using them for. Once we know that you have uploaded your pawn to the Rift with a new vocation, we can rent him and gift him new items that your Arisen can use (like that weapon I described).

Obviously, this is entirely your choice, so don't feel obligated in the slightest. We just like gifting.

Looking forward to seeing your pawn.

[Shepenwepet]

Lolwut

Spoiler

...I hired a sorcerer that hired Zi, she's a little Exequy-happy.

[coldwetn0se]

^ LOL!

I let Chase have that spell in his arsenal once. He inappropriately used it, one too many times.

I never equip it to Chase or Castor, after that.

[Carcharoth42]

@Kaidan Fan I'll be glad to help you out as well. GT is Carcharoth42. I have a half-naked giant on the servers at the moment but I'll switch him out with Briana, my usual pawn, sometime tomorrow.

[CENIC]

@CENIC - I am playing DD on the PS3 too. I can send you a request to hire your pawn as you have an infinity pawn! I am only level 41 on there. I quite like playing a lower level Arisen. I am thenewschmoo on PSN.

Friend request accepted
I'll send you some goodies as thanks. Anything you'd like?

Hi CENIC! Even though I primarily play on the Xbox, I also have the game for PS3. I have a level 150+ (something like that) female pawn named Chase. PSN Gamertag is: coldwetn0se

She is set as a Ranger at the moment, but I may be switching her vocation, for another player who rents her. Most likely Mage or Sorcerer (she was built a bit more magick heavy). She is maxed in all vocations though, and generally is set to Scather/Challenger, Challenger/Scather, Scather/Utilitarian, or Challenger/Utilitarian.

I don't play very much anymore (I'm level 200 and have all the best gear, gold-forged) but if you hire my pawn I'll gladly gift you some nice items and/or RC farm with your pawn

Very kind of you, but feel free to gift your goodies to @thenewschmoo, or a couple of the others that are on the PSN (Stormheart and Apophis, are probably the two that play the most on the PS3.) I don't play on the PS3 very often, since most people I know play on the Xbox (I have two pawns on the Xbox, one that is level 200 - also named Chase - and one that is level 107). I usually just go on occasionally to do the very thing that you so generously offered to me.

Even if you don't play much anymore, feel free to join the convo whenever the spirit moves ya. And we love pictures on this thread, so don't be shy to post.

Sadly I am terrible when it comes to getting nice screenshots

[Shepenwepet]

I've been playing for far too long trying to get a shot of Shinon walking through a comestion like this...

Spoiler

It ain't gonna happen. I don't really need it for anything, so I suppose I can let it go.

 

Request: Shots of Thomas in his farseer's cap. Doesn't have to be close up, doesn't have to be looking straight at the camera, in fact it's better if he's looking a little off to the side. I know I have some, but every time I try to look through my album my laptop makes horrible noises and my browser stops responding every few seconds. I know I can "build" Thomas myself, but I totally forgot about doing it and I'm done for the night.

 

Here's some pics form this evening...

Spoiler

Alynna's on the server for now (at least I think she is.)

 

Here's Chase fighting Awakened Daimon with a level 80 crew who has no business being there with no periapts or curatives.

 

This garm decided to disguise itself as a tree to hide from us. It totally worked.

 

^That was Zihark. My pawns love Exequy circles.

[coldwetn0se]

Thomas....

Spoiler

Thomas sans Farseer.



.....not Thomas.


Bah! I know I had more with him in that hat....Too many albums, and computers with DD:DA stuff in them.

[Carcharoth42]

Only shot I have with him in the hat.

[CuriousArtemis]

Hmm I have a shot of Thomas+hat shooting an arrow... not sure that's what you're looking for. I have another good shot of him standing and looking to the side, but Seel and Shinon are also in the pic.

[coldwetn0se]

That one is much better than the one I found (well, the one with that hat.

I know I had more though. I suspect they are on my other laptop (the one that this laptop replaced). That computer still works, just need to find the charger for it......m'yeah.

[Jay Jay]

I have a max level Fighter pawn for any ps3 players going through Bitterblack Isle(Psn-JayJay2515, pawn-Cenobia). 

 

I also will take any red class or Ranger pawn through Bitterblack Isle if you need extra RC because everything except Condemned Gorecyclops, Death, and Daimon is a cakewalk.

[Shepenwepet]

I'm sure one of those pics will work, thanks! And Shinon was lookin' good during his squat, bald and "intelligenter" phase,wasn't he?

The next report is looking a little light on screenies, which I suppose is a good thing since I can only have 30 per post. Perhaps the Ward of Regret will change that. I hear there's some sort of rock concert being held there.

[coldwetn0se]

Looking forward to the next report, @Shepen. I may not be playing DD:DA as much, for a little while. Hubby has some shows stacked up, that he hasn't gotten a chance to watch, because I have been a TV hog. LOL! I'll still play on days off, and sometimes at night, after he goes to bed (or if I play hooky from work *evil grin*).

Have some snapshots from this past weekend, I still need to download from FB. Will get to that shortly.

Oh! I did finally get a Giant Saurian Sage to drop a Moonshimmer Pelt. It only took five runs through Rotwood....yeah.
lol! I can't thank Shepen (and possibly another person on the thread...??) enough for giving me a couple of those. I will try for one more run through Rotwood, then I will just start forging with that asshat shark, Montebank. Just need to remember to go "offline" in the options menu, since the servers cause the biggest slow down when repeatedly forging with Montebank.
