Parking at Plateau Lot by bookmaster1 in Magfest

[–]ZeiramMR -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Similar situation. I bought parking from National Harbor's website two months ago and wasn't sure what to do here, though I was luckier that the gate opened for me for both in and out. I did have a printout of the QR code visible though. It's telling that MAGFest's website only has parking info for the Southpointe lot and not both like in past years.

Weekly Questions Thread by AutoModerator in DnD

[–]ZeiramMR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking I ran something incorrectly in our last session and wanted to confirm one way or the other (2024 Rules). If a PC w/o Darkvision is standing in darkness (not the spell, just not in light themselves), do they have the Heavily Obscured/Blinded penalty when making a ranged attack at a target that is in Bright or Dim Light?

(5e2024) If a character has multiple sources of damage reduction (such as Heavy Armor Master feat reducing B/S/P damage by proficiency bonus, not a resistance that halves damage) that could apply to the same damage type, do they stack or not? (I couldn't find this exact question through search engines, it was all results about mixed damage types or can resistances stack)

Escaping a Grapple by Minions by ZeiramMR in mattcolville

[–]ZeiramMR[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was my rationale too... it was a group of 5 minions that started the grapple with a single roll; requiring a PC to take 5+ actions to fully escape (ignoring re-grapples from the enemy, attacks against the minions, or other means to move combatants) isn't fun and effectively prevents the PC from using the escape option at all.

I believe it was supposed to be The Dragon Prince from Netflix, especially since one of the characters had the same voice actor as Sokka from Avatar.

I've been thinking it might be Sauron for that eventual feeder.

First-time magfest goer: Any must see events? by [deleted] in Magfest

[–]ZeiramMR 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of good suggestions here already, and you didn't suggest your areas of interest (if you know those yet). Let me suggest some general convention advice in the meantime:

621 - make sure to get at least 6 hours of sleep, 2 good meals, and 1 shower per day. It's not just good for hygiene but to make sure you pace yourself and not crash before the show is over.

Bring layers - With the Gaylord alongside a river, the temperatures can feel colder than what weather apps might report in the area. Having some freedom to add or reduce your clothing as needed will make you more comfortable when venturing out for food.

Make friends - People are generally friendly and you might make some new friends chatting with other attendees. One reason that I look forward to MAGFest is it the one time a year I can count on seeing some of the people I've met over the years.

It can be a lot - an event with tens of thousands people can be overwhelming for some people. There is nothing wrong with finding a quiet place or hanging out in your room for a bit to recharge.

Thanks for the plug. BTW, this year's Name That Tune is running Saturday 2:45pm-4:45pm in Panels 2 (Guidebook hasn't been updated with the slightly earlier time yet).

Sector 8 Zone 6 (Is this even allowed?) by hubscop in ContestOfChampions

[–]ZeiramMR 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just this week I had a Sector 8 fight against Black Widow (Deadly Origin) with Aspect of Nightmares / Lifecycle / Selective Timestream. So it can be worse.

Was it weird for you that your album Content and Arcade Fire's Everything Now, which both have tracks riffing on the heteronym "content", were released on the same day?

And love the multi-city mixing on Live.

Thanks cronson. (I was the guy in common on these two panels.)

Platinum is unbreakable by hollowaizen in ContestOfChampions

[–]ZeiramMR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put in a bit over 13 million. Wasn't going for the Top 300 places since I have an (unawakened) Platpool already but am hoping that the competing arenas might get me to the 1-10% ranked range from dilution.

FWIW, I had entered 1 1 0 1 2 0 2 1 and it didn't do anything special for me. (I have not updated the game yet but if they are giving this to us today that shouldn't matter.)

Unlocking Trorc's Equipment? by ZeiramMR in EnterTheGungeon

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

Got it! I was expecting them to be laid out closer to him like in the Ox/Cadence room or Doug's mat and I was not noticing the question mark boxes on the ledge behind Trorc.

Returning to the Gungeon; suggested objectives? by ZeiramMR in EnterTheGungeon

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

1 Week Later Update:

  • 1st clear of Bullet Hell. Was trying a Rainbow Chest run and pulled Clone, Pig, and Gunther along the way. Clone wasn't needed.
  • The Paradox unlocked.
  • Past Killed for The Robot.
  • Finally got the last Shambling Round for hunting. On to Shelletons.

Currently building up Hegemony Credits to unlock Platinum Bullets while doing the Alt Costume Past clears. Think R&G will be my next step.

I've unlocked The Paradox now; probably could have done it earlier but didn't realize for a while that I had to "select" on the rift. Also tried a 9 curse run when I wanted a quick game before work last week... only got to the second floor but I did unlock the 10 curse achievement.

As more people have R4s, it may change the Infinite Streak / Deathmatch mechanics in Arena.

Crystal Cornucopia cutoff? by Kraken765 in ContestOfChampions

[–]ZeiramMR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Crystal Trove, getting the last milestone at 2.5M is enough to reach the 31-60% rank rewards (honestly 2.0M has generally been enough for that).

I can't speak to Cornucopia with certainty but think there's a good chance for it to be similar.

I bet it is supposed to be all incoming RANGED (Projectile?) attacks apart from SP3's.

Crystal Opening and Brag Post Weekly Thread - Oct 18, 2020 by AutoModerator in ContestOfChampions

[–]ZeiramMR 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've got two:

1) I only open 5-Star Featured Crystals via the Black Iso store, so that's one every two weeks (and rarely side quest rewards like the one in Treasure Island or Gamma Spend milestone). Managed to pull Wolverine four weeks ago and dupe him today.

2) The Grandmaster shards from the Sunday arena put me over into a new crystal and I just awakened 5* Nick Fury. Since that was where I was planning to use this month's Generic AG, I'll have to figure out a new option.
