[silentkilla238]

oh thanks

[silentkilla238]

if u revive sombody waht happens.... and if the person u revive dies do u too? i don't get it...

[onetoo12]

If you revive someone (you can only rez players who have a body.. as seen in the video, shooting a corpse removes it from game) then they are bound to you. If you die.. they die. So take good care of your master. Also the person who did the rezzing has some of his/her pips locked up as they are used to keep the allie alive. Once the person you rezzed dies, you get your pips back. Pips = the ammount of magic you have at your disposal.

yea when ur revived the revivor cant die or u will blled out

[KillerKahuna]

dude quick question here, do you have a save video option like in Halo 3 or do you have to record while playing ?

[onetoo12]

I had to use a seperate capture device in the Shadowrun beta. I'm not sure about retail.

[KillerKahuna]

oh ok thanks for the reply :D

nice video but what benefits does smoke give you?

[onetoo12]

Benefits of Smoke:

-Invulnerability to everything (with the exception of the gust spell) Bullets, Rockets, Grenades, Fall damage, etc can't harm you while you are in smoke form.

-You don't show up on vision 'pings' when you are actively smoking. Passive smoke = Vision users can only see you at 1/2 distance.

[onetoo12]

Continued..

-You are harder to see in general while smoked

-Enemies don't get the benefit of Smart-Link's 'aim-assist' while fighting someone who has smoked assigned.

-Some races move faster while smoked (Troll).

-You can heal next to a Tree while in smoke form.

[onetoo12]

Continued..

Downsides:

-You regain magic at a slower rate while Smoke is assigned.

-You can only move your character (no spells, shooting, etc) while in smoke form.

-Smoke drains your magic while you are in Smoke form.. this means you can't smoke forever. =)

-You are a sitting duck if the person chasing you has Gust (wind spell).

[onetoo12]

Continued..

-You are completely vulnerable for a moment as you exit smoke form (either by choice or forced out of smoke). You can't attack or use magic for this brief period (2.5 seconds?), but you can take damage.

-Each character's passive ability will not function while they are Smoked. This means no: Troll Hardening, Elf Auto-Heal, Dwarf Mana Drain, etc.

There are many other aspects to Smoke, but this should give you a good start.

[onetoo12]

Does this give you an idea of how much depth Shadowrun has? =)

[MeGunScareYah]

yeh thanks diddnt expect that much info just when i last cheaked it wasnt on the site :)

[MeGunScareYah]

oh and btw does the gust spell kill you, exit your smoke or do dammage. And whats the music :)

[onetoo12]

The music is 'Spitfire' by the Prodigy.

The gust spell does both damage & drains mana when used against a player who is 'smoked'. 

Often times a player will smoke after they have taken alot of damage and need to escape.. this leaves them very vulnerable to Gust users.

So gust can either kill a smoker, damage them, or force them out of smoke form.

[MeGunScareYah]

k thanks again ;)

[Decontrolled24]

How did you capture this??? Great work by the way, excellent quality. The playing wasn't too shabby either.

[onetoo12]

Thanks!

I used a Dazzle capture card. They are incredibly cheap, but come packaged w/decent software. Youtube drops the quality alot, but I suppose they have to do that for video streaming purposes. =)
