This is more an experiment than an exercise.
All I wish is for any player who wants to not see shock strata, simply sign your name, in-game preferred, in this thread.
Now what does signing your name in this thread mean for you? All I ask is for anyone who signs their name to merely always pick up the largest Valestone. That's it. If Valestone is there, grab the largest one.
Lets see what happens, =).
Oh, and btw:
Velcro
Valestone wouldn't guarantee that a strata would be too similar--it would simply guarantee that shock would be left out. Valestone (green) is shock's anti. You could still have variety within that.
That is the idea.
All I'm saying is for a group of players to 'only' pick up Valestone when possible, thus aiding to prevent the spread of Shock. Or basically for those who want to try and make it nearly non-existent with me, =p.
It's more an experiment to see if enough people could be gathered to visibly stop shock strata.
An end to shock strata? But... but... Where would I get my volt oil, thunderballs, and spark of life? D<
I already pick up dark matter, crimsonite, and luminite over everything else, so I'm contributing to your whims indirectly. But I'm motivated to get more undead or fiend levels than less shock levels.
But I'm too lazy to do much about it. except well, not pick up minerals involved with it, as I tend to only pick up red and purple -beats me why I do, as I don't like fiends that much-
Freeze should only really piss you off if your team is oblivious/you're soloing.
Shock, on the other hand, should be DID THAT QUICKSILVER JUST SHOCK ITSELF OH DEAR GOD RUN and then everyone's playing a rousing game of Clockworks Pinball, where the prize is usually death.
Fire is the most annoying in my opinion, because it actually damages you.
A Charged Quicksilver isn't bad, if you can get out of it's path it'll just kill off it's fellow monsters, or at least damage them. Also, you can shield the charged attacks. I remember in CBT, I was in a Danger Room with at least five Charged Quicksilvers, with other monsters, with thorns in the arena, and I was solo. The Charged Quicksilvers basically killed everything off themselves.
I like the Charged Quicksilvers. Leave them alone and boom they kill things themselves. XD Just be handy with shield and dodge them.
GMs already attack any gates that are consistently the same type of stratums.
Which makes it pointless to purposely try and make an all of one type Tier 3 for a gate. Kind've a jip.
