RD plays: Dragon's Crown

I think will be easier if we have a topic here and we just talk about things specific to the playthrough

On normal:
Buu - Fighter L35, Wizard + Sorceress L20s, Dwarf + Elf 20s
Neo - Wizard L35, Amazon 20s
Moose - Amazon + Elf 20s
TTB - Dwarf L35, Sorceress + Amazon 20>

Hard:
Simian - Sorceress L40+?

If anyone else is joining in we'll update this more.  Obviously you're welcome to both teams BTW, but time issues might start popping up we'll sort that out to.

Current Views:
Fighter: Seems to be juggling based and a support character, he can defend the other characters as well as sacrifice his own health to protect them.  He works based on defence and counters.

Dwarf: Seems to be close range, more focused on grapples, he has some abilities based around boosting attack.

Sorceress: Healer and crowd control

Amazon: Berserker

Elf: High Damage output late game, but you need to refill her bow constantly from enemy drops (not recommended first character)

Wizard: Neo can comment on him

if needed i can join the second game aswell but ill wait to give others a chance

I don't think there's any need for set groups, this game is made for replayability so just playing with whoever is online at the time should be fine.

I'm sticking with Sorceress. Crowd control, healing, plus the occasional nuke? Sounds like my cuppa tea.

Its more for level on first playthrough. I doubt you'll want someone who's the level of playing on hard playing on your first normal file.

I mean people can switch between groups, but seeing as we're all playing same guys its good to know what everyone else is doing. Plus some people just will be on at times incompatible with others. This makes it easier if someone can't play with certain people but wants to catch up and be around the same level as other people.

I'm going to pick the Elf first time just to be difficult.

Things switched around a bit due to time zones. I thought I'd try Elf as after trying Sorceress I'm not ready to play as magic users as restoring mana is effort. Also thought i'd let TTB have more fun throwing people around lol.

Should we be chatting on here rather than the other Crown topic?

I was more keeping this for what we were doing in game.

I'm level 25 i think on my wizard. How far did you get Simian? On my wizard I haven't done my B routes so let me know if I should start on those.

I got my fighter to level 29, when me and Neo chained a few dungeons.

My Sorceress is Level 27 after handing in a couple more quests, but I haven't yet done any B routes. Oh, and I was mislead about Sorc having the highest luck; Elf has the highest.

You sure?? Thats a bit odd the tavern shows her as S for luck and Elf A I thought? Unless they changed that in the patch. You wanna play in a bit?

I've been cross-checking my luck in the Tavern against some of the NPC's I've rescued.  My luck is currently 71, whereas both Elves I had, at the same level, were showing 88 and 91.
 
Whether the patch changed it, or those elves coincidentally had equips which boosted their luck I'm not sure.  I played a little this morning, beat my first B route Boss (on the level with the harpy), but not sure how much I'll be able to play today.  My PS3 in on because I'm trying to download Remember Me, but I've still got a kitchen I haven't yet finished, so I'd probably best get to that, else the Mrs will kill me.

My elf is level 22 with 68 luck, and no equipment that boosts luck.

I've got Elf and Amazon around level 25 and online now. Amazon is a lot of fun but she seems to have shit defense, and gets knocked down easily.

Put a single point in parry and that shouldn't happen anymore. More than one point seems wasted as it just increases your block power (not related to parries I believe) and the duration of invincibility after a parry which seems kinda unnecessary as two seconds is already a pretty long time.

I suppose I should start blocking in general.

Solo bosses were really easy (well the ones I tried). There's a challenge you can do with multiple players to kill the wraith in under two minutes, haven't tried it yet, but that might be tricky due to the fact he's invincible for pretty long amounts of time.

I've done the Wraith one.

Run into the first room, knock the wall down quick sharp, move into the next room, grab a torch, light the statue. I had three high-level NPCs in my party, (around levels 55-62) all fighters, they wailed on him whilst I hit him hard with as many air fireballs as I could spam. It actually wasn't that hard.

I finished all the side quests, most of them are with no allies with the exception of the Wraith, but I managed that with no allies anyways.

wraith is the only one i have left, due to the nature of the fight (and the fact he is over 4 foot off the ground) dwarf is not the way to speed kill :/
