At least you've done something and said something, but where the heck is everyone else?

Basically these last few days for me have been absolutely insane, and not predictably so. I didn't have time to get on my laptop at all, let alone RPG. But, the semester is now totally over so I should have a lot more time to RP.

lucky for you, I got until the end of may and I'm nowhere near done! I'll try to get a post up tomorrow.

Angelika stared into the wall in front of the group, her mind contemplating the events of the last mission, and studying the new arrival. But her thought process was interrupted by her stomach emitting a growl, signalling that it was time to get something to eat. As soon as the group was dismissed, she shot up out of her seat, and out of the room in search of the dining facility. The Emmerian knew that it would be a good idea to introduce herself to the new pilot, but to her food came first before socializing. especially when her stomach won't shut up. The pilot soon found herself sitting in a corner of a chow hall with a tray that held a few sandwiches, some water, and a pear.

THIS is what I get when I don't post in a week.

I fell happy knowing that this RP was saved just in time :D

Just something I stumbled upon

[The Mage]

really? nice.

Oh,, and if any of you are wondering, Nautilusmp hasn't been on for about 2-3 weeks.

[The Mage]

now we just got to wait on Raffy!

[nautilusmp]

Sorry for the long hiatus, I was on a mathematical olympiad and focused on it first. What had I missed?

[The Mage]

not much. we're currently in between missions, chatting at their new base.

[Rhona W]

Yeah, everyone's kind of scattered around the base. There's an hour to kill IC before mealtime, and people have sort of drifted off in their own thoughts so far.

Also, currently downloading Ace Combat Infinity. I will come back and post once I have some insights into how it plays and such. Unfortunately, I am currently too poor to purchase any of the additional content, but I will add more info once I have done so.

Eh, I bought about €21 worth of stuff for ACI (The Unlimited Campaign Ticket, Rookie Pack and a pack of five more fuel), then I played through what's available of the campaign so far (five missions). Got 40 fuel total after finishing it due to buying the Rookie Pack (gives you five fuel), the pack of fuel (five more), completing mission 5 (which gives you twenty fuel) and opening the notification which gives you ten more and I've been playing a good bit of multiplayer...

I suppose it's....

INCREDIBLE.

Seriously, I haven't had this much fun with my PS3 in weeks. The gameplay is great, the music they have chosen and the ones PA has remixed from former AC games are all awesome and the story is very good so far, with all the characters being very likeable and despite only spending five missions with them, I feel very attached to them, especially Viper. The new Edge (AKA Kei Nagase) and Slash are really cool characters, Omega, while somewhat annoying at times, has a great sense of humor and I admit to chuckling a few times and as aforementioned, Viper is an awesome character and while at first you might not like him all that much, you really come to have a bond with him.

And then there's the campaign missions. Just wow. Especially that fifth mission, which had me on the edge of my seat and my heart beating like a machine gun the entire time. I won't spoil anything, but it is just amazing.

The multiplayer is great too. It lacks a bit of variety, but hopefully PA will release more missions with the next few campaign missions, which will apparently be free, as will new planes and the like.

I highly recommend putting some money into it. Even though I started out with 40 sortie fuel when starting the multiplayer, plus the 3 supplied fuel, I still haven't gone below 35 stocked fuel thanks to the challenge rewards. So, put some money into it and you should be good for a long time, unless you're a hardcore AC fanatic who plays thirty missions per hour. Currently saving up for the Expert Pack as we speak.

Only thing I could say that I can put as a con, and it's super minor and doesn't do anything with my enjoyment of the game, is that the multiplayer has gotten much more difficult since the Beta. Scinfaxi is almost invincible and the ace squadrons are not only hard to shoot down individually, but have much higher numbers than before too. Whereas in the Beta I was getting A ranks almost all the time and I got S ranks once or twice, the best I've gotten so far in the release game is one A rank on Aerospace Center Defense...

[Rhona W]

Yeah, I thoroughly intend on purchasing the campaign ticket tomorrow when I get paid at the least, and possible a few other small things, but I don't want to spend much as I'm in financial struggles at the moment.
I have enjoyed the whole experience so far, but I had no luck in connecting to the multiplayer last night after I tried it, and I haven't had an opportunity to try it again yet, but I'm eager to try again. I'm not sure where the problem lies, but I've heard other people mention that they've had issues as well. Either way, I'm eager to play more when possible. I should have time to enjoy it a bit more at the weekend when I'm not working.

On the downside, it's made me want to post more, and I'm kind of grinding my teeth that nothing much is happening >.<
Seriously considering starting my own AC Game >.>

[Rafale]

I'll try to post soon, but I've had a few problems getting posts up lately myself. It's hard to post something worthwhile to post when I've just finished the debriefing. In-between missions just aren't my strong suit. If you do end up starting your own RP, I'd be rather interested in joining.

[Driving Park]

Welp, guess I'd better go get ACI then. It's great to hear that it's good, and I've been needing a new game for my PS3 for a while.

And of course I would join another AC RP. It seems like it's only 4-5 of us left here.

[Rafale]

Thinking back on it, there's a lot of things I could have done better in this RP, and in regards to Silver's own RP's (such as GEARs), I think he'd do the whole AC RP thing a lot more justice than I would. Hate to sound like a pessimist or a downer (or both), but that's just what I believe at the moment. I think I threw too many ideas into the melting pot too fast (introduced a bit too many NPC's, had too many twists, et cetera) and because of it, I think I exhausted most of the cool stuff I could do.

Anyway, enough wallowing in my own troubles, I'll try to post in a bit.

[Rhona W]

Well, we could always collaborate. I've been writing up some stuff in PiratePad. I'll PM you the link to it, and we can work together on it if you'd like?
