[DA 2017] Unofficial Quick-Question thread

[Karl Jak]

Can we expect to see some guest NPCs joining us?

Possibly.

Karl-chan is it possible to tag team?

Yes

Can you still create items from Omnilium in Syntech Station 17?

Yes

Do Vita Compasses and other non-consumables work on the island?

Yea.

[Professor Sunshine]

What kinds of encounters should we expect this year?

[Karl Jak]

You'll have to clarify that a little bit.

[Professor Sunshine]

Like should we expect some of the encounters from previous years such as zombies and golems, or should we expect some new encounters for DA this year?

[Karl Jak]

Ah.

Stuff like that might wind up on the island but it'd be entirely in a story sense.

The only true, threatening encounters you're gonna have are with the other X tributes primes on the island.

[Tearen Wover]

I's there a map of thw island available IC

[Harry Potter]

How does one participate in the preshow? Do I just make post here http://omniverse-rpg.com/showthread.php?tid=8251 specifying which location I'm at?

[Gildarts]

Yes Harry!

Note: the sign ups are a different thread than the facility itself

[Dust]

I don't understand the fighting "template"?. We only get 2 posts per fight?

Someone explained it more in depth to me.

[Professor Sunshine]

{Redacted due to already being answered.}

[Gildarts]

What happens when a fight has already "started" but someone comes to that location. Do they end up fighting the victor? Or would they join the fight as a Pvpvp?

Also when someone walks through a place does that make them instantly qualify for the PVP even if they are set to move two other times with that move?

Question 2: If it goes by any of the other DA's, then PvPs wouldn't occur by passing squares, only landing on them.

Question 1: If similar to past DA's, then the two combatants would be locked into the fight (iso-verse style).



Of course, this DA could always be different.

No. Primes will be provided with a map when they arrive on the island, though.

---

If it's still unclear, fights work just like they do in the rest of the Omniverse (albeit the pace is quicker). There's a thread that outlines the process of challenging primes that I'd recommend people read before they ask any redundant questions.

[Simon]

How would Movement as group work? If said group agrees to move down a subzone, could one of their members move the entire group with a single post (detailing that he is doing so), or would each individual member need to make their own post to move everyone in the group?

[Tamsin Suzaku]

To clarify, is the extension of the sign-ups also a delay of Day 1 activities? Or will Day 1 start on the 13th regardless?

[Professor Sunshine]

And why did you extend the sign-ups in the first place?

[Karl Jak]

@Dante - with a group, one post couldbe used to move all members of the group.

@Tamsin et al. - Day 1 will go live on the 14th. Day 1 will run from Wednesday afternoon until Sunday afternoon. Gives everyone the weekend to learn and for all the initial burbs and kinks to get ironed out. Always intended to start on Wednesday for that reason, just didn't double check dates.

[Professor Sunshine]

Hey for the last IC day before the main event (AKA the 13th), will it be okay to have in the posts to have there be a warning that the main event will begin soon?

[Little Ghost]

A question regarding the combat in this DA: When the time limit mentioned is 20 hours, is that for the entire combat scenario? When does the timer start, from the moment of engagement or after all involved parties have made their set-up posts?

Yes, of course.

20 hours per post.

When a challenge is force and/or accepted, I will post a post along the lines of:

Fight -- Dante vs Abyss

From the moment I post that post, Dante will have 20 hours to write his first post. After that, Abyss would have 20 hours to reply. Then back to Dante. Then back to Abyss. After the fourth post, I'll do another update post that reveals the winner and fight aftermath.
