things i've learned so far... "helping" someone kill a spirit, just takes it from them. no shared xp

(sorry Venlar!)

also, you cannot harvest your dominator if you are far from your "home" location. i set some up at Tbone's neighborhood and all for not. no harvest for me.

I set up three dominators at my office, so I can harvest energy while I work all day.

Tons of people in my area are setting up beacons all over the state. The Architects are screaming ahead of the Animators. I even found an Enemy Gateway near my house. It says there are enemy dominators nearby, but I'm having trouble pinpointing them.

[Tbone]

Yeah, I can't quite get to the enemy dominators. I have a guy directly north of me. Problem is, I can't warp to the location b/c we don't control it. But we can't control it unless we warp there and take out the dominators. Catch 22...

[Tbone]

You should be able to harvest your dominator even if it is at my place. You have to wait for the energy to fill up. You'll notice a red circle around it, which means it is ready to be harvested.

The more gateways we take over, the more energy you get when you harvest. So when you make a dominator at my place, don't just put them all at Park Glen. Spread out until you find a gateway that is neutral and link your dominator to that. Right now we have 4 gateways for +7 energy. We need more!

It's a good idea to keep your dominators in places you frequent often.  Or move them around as you move around.  You can't harvest a dominator that is too far from your actual location.  I have people in southern Utah placing dominators at my beacon in downtown Salt Lake City.  The dominators are full, but they can't be harvested by their owners because they're too far away, and they're not bother to destroy them.  So it's a lot of wasted energy.

[Tbone]

It's extra energy for YOU, though, because you get a bonus for the conquered gateways when you harvest!

your beacon get nuked Tbone? i don't see it on my cloud view any longer.

[Tbone]

Weird. Do they reset or something? It was gone, but nothing else around it was. Just the beacon...

It's back up now.

[eeth]

(noticed you're back up now, i know they can run out of energy by draining your dominators if you don't have enough powering the beacon.)

haha, holy shit this is fun...i made my way around up to the dude to the north of your place Tbone, as soon as i showed up he started nuking my ass, guess i didn't catch him sleeping, lol. this could get really fun and interesting very soon.

[eeth]

oh hells yeah! i went into Slyk's hood and nuked his ass while he was sleeping, lol! this is so much fun. i've found that a good way to move around it to keep warping to a target until it puts you slightly in the direction you want to move, then spawn a dominator (and destroy it if it doesn't spawn in the direction you want to travel) and keep leap-frogging to where you want to go. it can be a bit tedious at times but i got in a very satisfying kill on Slyk

got 3 quests done in that pvp process as well!

[Tbone]

Yeah, I was doing that with someone last night. We leapfrogged each other to get to his neighborhood and killed his dominators. I tried killing him, but it said he had beginner protection. That's how we took over Arlington Forest from him! Gwahaha!

[eeth]

i think at lvl 6 their beginner protection goes away. Slyk was high enough to kill today, let's grief him until he decides to move IRL!

[Ademaro]

still only lvl 5 >.< .. this game sure is a fun time kiler though

I came in first place for the first round of the campaign. 50 mana bottles. I bought a few gateways around town.

And I recently hit level 11. Five dominators is awesome energy harvesting for the team.

[Tbone]

You weren't on my list. Must be local. I was in the top 5. Got 5 mana bottles.
