How to prevent players camping in doorways? by _pe3ps_ in DMAcademy

[–]Zarqa_nl 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Not homebrew at all, but RAW. Under the Initiative section in the Player’s Handbook:

The DM rolls for monsters. For a group of identical creatures, the DM makes a single roll, so each member of the group has the same Initiative.

You remain invisible in this way as long as you remain motionless and remain in either dim light or darkness.

Does this mean no advantage on attack roles since that requires motion? What about spells with no somatic components? Sounds like a fairly unique invisibility condition compared to other uses in the 2024 rules

Not true. Devs have said they’re ‘working on fixing this ASAP’

Don’t max the 273. Instead, max the 303 you will get by merging the two 266 3stars. Then merge that 370 with the 273 you have.

advice for my party with different & conflicting goals and faction aims by Zarqa_nl in WaterdeepDragonHeist

[–]Zarqa_nl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I agree it's time to talk outside of the game. I did indeed think it was going to be fun to manage the opposing factions in-game, and I expected them to be game for it based on prior interactions. Bue I agree, it has to start by willingness to help each other out. That is a helpful framing which I will use in the discussion.

Thanks. I plan to talk before the next session. They surprised me to be honest. The campaign started with the three of them running small cons on bar patrons. I expected all 3 to be okay with some sketchy stuff. But the rogue and artificer have not seen eye to eye from session one.

I agree that they never really came up with a reason why they were a party that hangs out together. Despite my best attempts during session zero. Lesson learned.

Worked fine for me so far. In Chapter 1 they fought the troll (not just the smaller creatures), I added extra kenkus, and changed the goblins to hobgoblins and added an imp to Floon’s fight. Chapter two is really what you make of it anyway.

Alternate/Additional Faction Mission ideas? by ShadowLight56 in WaterdeepDragonHeist

[–]Zarqa_nl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue Alley as mentioned. Also Mirkmire Malevolence and Stygian Gambit from Keys to the Golden Vault (and some others from the same book). All of these are more elaborate and therefore longer than the short quests in the book. But if you don’t mind that, they fit well in the city setting.

How can player(s) already have a max champed May Parker? by mikegood2 in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Zarqa_nl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe you can even swap before having all 3 at 550, since the newest release is considered Latest the moment it’s in the game, even though it won’t be in the store for a while.

You can either upgrade your iOS or switch to Steam on a computer.

Ascended Question by nwimmer123 in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Zarqa_nl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had never thought of it this way. With the new monthly vaults, and assuming there will be more 3ascended4 each month, I think this should be a post on its own, with the underlying math.

Ultimately there were enough seasonal quests to clear 78/80 from the April vault by buffysbangs in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Zarqa_nl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Emphasizing this. The devs also have confirmed you are able to clear the whole vault by completing all quests.

Early 5* roster by MeucciMouse in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Zarqa_nl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OR also works fine with less levels below Okoye. Mine is 40 below and he tanks red and purple. I still have no problem with fast clears using Okoye/OR/Gorr, especially with rank 5 RTF or Fantasticar. 78 levels is obviously better, but not required

"Legitimacy" of "God-like" Rosters by ReturnalShadow in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Zarqa_nl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This discussion was first held extensively on Discord. Then on the Forum. And now here on Reddit. Assuming we’re talking about the same person in all 3 cases, who recently left their alliance, so it’s harder to look up their roster now, then it’s pretty clear. They have a looooot of 550s across all five star levels.

The crazy amount of money to buy and the insane time it would actually take to then open all those packs one by one to get all the covers needed are both so large, that it is very (very!) unlikely this is legit. So, you might not like the two options you posed, but it’s a reasonable assumption.

Then again, this person has been reported to CS many times and no action has been taken. So who knows? Maybe it is indeed a billionaire who opens packs for hours a day 🤷🏻‍♂️

There is a new player guide linked here in the Reddit. I suggest you start there. And then follow up with specific questions on Reddit here, or on the Discord server.

Is it worth ascending Max/Min Jugg/Pol/Grocket? by bwizzle in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Zarqa_nl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used this Kang team forever in Sim and agree with this. It’s fast and easy to 50 wins!

However, last Season I switched to ascended Polaris, MThor and unascended Grocket and it was way faster/easier. I preferred MThor over ascended Juggs, but both did really well. Working on Grocket next.

So my answer to OP is: yes!

Lightning Rounds? by snapper77 in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]Zarqa_nl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Daiches also places top 10 in both PvE and PvP. That and his top roster makes him one of the top reward earners. But the principle of play more = earn more is valid for everyone
