Drasca Wrote:So what's the status on the rules?
The first post in the thread has been updated with the latest rules. Check there.
The basic deal is no purchasing anything except ID and salvage kits. I plan to purchase Xunlai Access so I can at least dump unwanted stuff on my other chars. I don't think this goes against the spirit of the rules.
Quote:1. Cap sigs purchasing? Y/N
2. Armor Crafting? Y/N
3. Collector's armor? Y/N. Collector's only is neat but not practical.
4. Hero skill restrictions: Character found only? Fellow team member unlocking counts? Account wide?
5. Team specific theme: Nightfall skills only, or explore elsewhere?
6. Free skills from "Experts" in noob area: Y/N?
7. Hero Skills?
1) N
2) N
3) Y -- so far, not too hard to collect for most armour pieces
4) So far, no restrictions have been placed on what skills heroes can use. In particular, it would be a pain to try to remember wich skills you've unlocked for your heroes during the LoL games and which you came across at other times. Plus it doesn't look like we will be able to acquire enough hero skills on our LoL characters specifically, who need to save them for their own unlocks, to be able to afford to 'waste' them unlocking skills for our heroes. Accordingly I'd tend to think that whatever restrictions we might want to place on the skills our heroes can use, if any, should be minimal and easily followed. That said, it is a subject worthy of consideration, though we do plan to minimize the use of heroes to those missions where we are forced to use one hero or another, and when doing side quests on our own time.
5) As far as team plans go, so far it looks like Nightfall storyline. After that, we'll see. You probably won't be able to get Factions- or Prophecies-specific skills from a Nightfall hero skills NPC. What you do in your own time with respect to picking up Prophecies or Factions skills is up to you, though you probably won't be allowed to use them when we're doing the team variant.
6) Y, in fact you can't avoid it and still progress with primary quests.
7) Hero Skills are the main way we will unlock skills for our chars, aside from noob skills.
We should get a quest which will give us a pair of cap sigs to use to grab a couple elite skills. Those will probably be the only elites allowed for these characters unless you can later on use hero skills to snag them.
As far as capturing additional skills beyond what you can get with questing and hero skill points, i.e. for use when you're playing the character outside the context of LoL, feel free, but don't include them when you're playing LoL. You'll need to keep track of which skills and equipment you've earned 'legitimately' (according to the rules of LoL) and use only that when playing the team variant. If this amounts to remembering 2 elite skills out of however many you've capped, that's probably pretty easy. If you start to mix in equipment and regular skills... could get messy.
EDIT: Upon rereading your question, and making better sense of it, I reorganized my answer a bit.
