- Holding a relic in El Dorado will now cause the carrier to take 1% increased damage for every second it is held.
So now domino is relegated to obscurity. Stunning swirl taking over its role for 30s cd aoe impair Or art of war for same long 45 s cd, but with bonus effect. Pity, I preferred the animation of Domino effect.
Seriously... the main reason to use Domino Effect was the shorter CD. It paid for that shorter time by not having extra defensive effects.
you are missing something, theres 5 missions.
Theres one mission from Ricky pagan, then there is a mission chain that starts with a mission from Haruchi /neuromancerqueen. As well as some side quests tied into the main missions.
The missions are :
The Chrome steed
Neuromancy and the Art of Making Friends
Elements of Control
Wetware
The Shadow
Sneaky sneaky. Didn't expect a mission chain from what otherwise seemed to be a sidestories set (going by price and mix of quest givers).
So many words that reference Neuromancer... maybe I'd find more overlap/references if I actually finished that book.
Overall, I like it. Still grumpy that one mission is labelled as an Action mission when it should be Sabotage.
The last mission bugged out on me. Took a few resets to get it working right. At one point, this (SPOILERS) happened...
Aw... they nerfed domino effect :'( that's my favorite too. They nerfed perjury and carver's art. I'm so disppointed.
New content is nice. I would expect more, but Funcom seems to increase the price and decrease the content size.
And I will never forgive what they've done to Domino effect.
