We are currently using Fantasy Grounds Unity. When it first released the lag was pretty bad but they seem to have patches all the time which has made that much better. The version we are using is 5E. Pretty easy to use for the player. I have not seen the DM side of things yet but it looks like our DM has occasionally got a lot to do behind the scenes getting things ready if it is a module that was not set up for Fantasy Grounds. I believe you can find plenty of modules that are pre set up but again I do not really know what is involved.
One of the cool features is line of sight. As you move your character around the line of sight changes to reflect where you are. If you look through a door, you can only see straight into the room but if you shift left or right, the viewing angle will also change. It is pretty neat.

Our group has a Mac user, and pushed for Foundry VTT. Not sure cause of being Mac, or the price was really good.
Working on using Foundry with Discord. We had a test run, 6 people logged into the server, which was my computer (Foundry uses your computer as the server). Still making characters, and I'm waiting for a module to arrive. However, probably should of went with virtual version.
And yes, lots of prep work for DM.
Also, using D&D Beyond (Basic) for character development.

Nice We just finished a run through the underdark to take out Lolth. Our characters had all made it to like level 20 or 21 by the time we finished that run. Now we have started a new campaign in the area of Waterdeep I think and are level 3.

When my phone crashed, got a new phone and number (in hopes i could recover my original). However, had to get a new phone for original number and decided to keep a 3rd line, cause this whole losing a phone thing experience was horrible. As such, started a 3rd MSF account, which planning on bringing into Alliance. Think that would be an issue, bringing a lowable into a top level Alliance? And wow on D&D, 20th level??? Very nice. Ironic, my group is planning on starting from Waterdeep at 1st level, as we experiment with online playing. They could of chosen anywhere, but chose Waterdeep. Not liking the Dragon Heist adventure, cause really?? 1st-3rd level characters facing a Beholder or high level Drow??? Plus, the option of your own tavern? Seems like a lot of loot for starting off. And my group would probably try and steal the entire dragon hoard

O look a Djinn popped out of that bottle you were trying to steal and instead of 3 wishes kills 3 party members. Party back on track

We need the members, since we are down to I think 18 right now, so I have no issue with it

Did we ever reach Milestone 12 for World Warrior? I know we just did, but wondering if we did before. Yeah, pushed all accounts to see if possible. Not sure when that will happen again :-)
Noobie account entering Raids and attacking for what it's worth, and using in Wars to remove Buffed teams. The teams I have that can beat a default team, I've left on defense - to present some type of challenge.
Kallor - why did the genie kill 3 party members in D&D, was it like a murderhobo genie?

Finally after 50 days on node 7 of DD3, my 3 man team beat the 2nd Iron Fist. Always take out the first Iron Fist before anyone else, if that 2nd one drops in . Now only 35(?) characters left with 21 million damage and that node is done Hopefully the cosmic nodes will be faster since my whole Black Order is tier 14

Yesterday was my 900th day of playing MSF Pretty excited for ISO-8 since there is really no other way to advance my top characters outside of red star luck. Not really excited for Doc Ock or Electro, there is an outside chance I will be able to get Doc Ock at 5 stars, but likely wont work on them (Sinister Six) too much.
Collection power: 6,726,702 Strongest team power: 559,730 War MVP: 70 Characters: 143 Max star: 110 7 red star characters: 3 (Loki, Juggernaut and Wasp)

I am really digging ISO-8, the nodes are simple, especially if you have a strong Baron Zemo so far its been pretty straight forward. I like being able to swap classes without worry, so you can do a lot of theory crafting. Downside is having to do this on three accounts and the energy cost on the "boss" nodes at 24

Well, I'm confused with the ISOs, cause not sure who to assign what Class. And don't like to spend resources unwisely. For now, using ISOs as needed, such as the push for Phoenix shards.
So any advice is appreciated.

Who are you mainly looking for advice on? I know you have that sweet 7 red Phoenix, but summons, which includes Dark Phoenix, will receive the Iso-8 crystal stats bonuses, but they will not receive the class bonuses or effects You can freely change the classes at level 1 for no cost, so you can try each class on everyone and see if it fits your playstyle and if it doesn't change it. At first I thought you needed 1 of each class on a team, but you can have all the same one if you want, so usually the fastest speed character will likely have Skirmisher to add vulnerable to the biggest threat on the other team, so the 2nd fastest likely is a striker to get that bonus attack on the vulnerable target. The cost ramp up pretty quick at the higher levels so the "ISO Gold" is going to be the bottleneck for this stuff My Black Order (currently all ISO level 4 ) team set up: Thanos - Raider, since he gets to go first due to the whole BO team, the first attack has the extra crit chance from the class, so that means more damage and if it does crit, adds vulnerable to all the hit targets. Maw - Healer, I was on the fence with this one, but extra healing from the minor regen helps and at level 3 a flat 5% of his health total is nice. Cull - Striker, being able to get an extra attack on a vulnerable target is great Prox - Skirmisher, since she is fast, she gets a lot of chances to add vulnerable and since it works on assists and counter attacks, her assisting on Corv gives her more chances to do so. Corv - Raider, since he gets bonus crit chance while in stealth this just made sense

Yeah, sort of wondering which combos work best with teams. Here's a list of them. Wonder if any sites have advice or what your personal preference is. Like, who might you swap in and out to get the best advantage.
I have done a few and get the idea of switching from one class to another. But would like to limit use of resources, until I have a solid base of teams, and then just fill in the blank spots.
Black Order Thanos - Striker Prox - Raider Ebony - Skirmisher Corvus - Raider Cull - Healer (I must of been drunk or tired)
Asgardians Hela Loki Sif Thor Heimdall
Defenders Punisher Luke Cage Jessica Jones Iron Fist Daredevil
Brotherhood Magneto Pyro Mystique Juggernaut Sabretooth
Toad Blob
Inhumans Black Bolt Crystal Karnak Yo-Yo
Quake Ms Marvel
PowerArmor Iron Man War Machine Falcon Rescue Ironheart
SHIELD/ Nick Fury Nick Fury SHIELD Security SHIELD Operative SHIELD Trooper SHIELD Assault
Agent Coulson SHIELD Medic
X-Men Phoenix Wolverine Colossus Storm Cyclops
Psylocke Beast
Wakandan Black Panther Killmonger M'Baku Shuri Okoye
Sinister Six Vulture Green Goblin Mysterio Shocker Rhino
Swarm Electro Doctor Octopus

Q: Do Summons get the class bonus? A. Summons, which includes Dark Phoenix ability “Phoenix Rising” and Doc Ock’s ability “Sinister Recharge,” will receive the crystal stats bonuses, but they will not receive the class bonuses or effect. Additionally Mister Sinister's ability “Clone,” will receive Mister Sinister's Iso-8 crystal bonuses, but not any of his class-related bonus or effects.
Q: What does Primary Hit mean? A. Primary Hit is the first attack on the primary target. For example, if Gamora uses her special ability “Ruthless Blade”, the Primary Hit is the first attack of the chain. For Gamora’s basic “Assassin’s Strike” ability, it will only trigger on the first hit, but not for any of the bonus attacks.
Q: Does +Active Healing affect Minn-erva’s Ultimate ability "Mass Phlebotomy"? A. No. Plus Active Healing does not affect Health Steal (Dark Phoenix Special “Bestow Light,” Ebony Maw’s Ultimate “Forced Transfusion”) or Redistribute Health (Scarlet Witch’s special” Warped Reality,” and Mantis’ ultimate “Soothe”)
Q. How are Iso-8 bonuses calculated into a character’s stats? A. They additively stack with the Red Stars Stats bonus. If you really want to pop the hood and see what’s going on in detail, here is the formula breakdown of the Iso-8 Base Stats:(Health, Armor, Damage, Focus, and Resist): FinalStat = ((BaseStatStarkTechWarRoom*(Redstar+Iso8))+(flat stat bonuses))*CharacterPassives
Q. For Non-Healer characters: Level 1 Healer Gains 5% Active Healing, Level 3 Healer heals lowest health ally +5%. Does the 5% this character gained in Level 1 play a role? Does this then become +10% heal? For example, would someone like Thanos (if Healer Level 3) heal for 5% or 10%? A. Active Healing is a multiplier on all healing done by abilities, which do count passives. Any time a character heals a character with a non-regeneration source, it will heal for 5/10/20% more as a multiplier. Therefore, +20% healing is taking the final heal amount and multiplying it by 1.2. For example, healing for 1000+5% with active healing is 1.2*(1000+5%) = 1,200 + 6%
Q. Is it free to switch classes? A. After you pay to upgrade a class you can switch any time between the classes for no cost.
Q. When a character has Skirmisher selected, under what circumstances will they not apply Vulnerable when they Assist attack or Counterattack? A. A character with the Skirmisher Class selected will not apply Vulnerable with On Attack passive abilities. For example, Cull Obsidian’s Passive, ”Payback," will not apply Vulnerable when an enemy attacks an ally Thanos or Ebony Maw. This would also include characters like SHIELD Trooper and Punisher.
For additional clarification: the Raider class does not work on Assist attacks or counterattacks - only Skirmisher does.
Q. Do Counterattacks apply Vulnerable? A. We are currently investigating issues where Vulnerable is not applying correctly with counterattack- we'll keep you posted
Q. Do the effects of Vulnerable stack on itself? A. No, while Vulnerable can stack more than once, the effects of the ability including the 10% increased damage do not stack.
Q. Can Vulnerable be Blocked, Dodged, or Resisted? A. An attack on an enemy that successfully hits will always apply Vulnerable (if eligible). If the attack that would apply Vulnerable is dodged, then Vulnerable will not be applied.

Finally beat that last awful global node on DD3, was able to then speed thru 2.5 cosmic nodes with Black Order 6 nodes to go, hopefully the Symbiotes team will be able to breeze through the city nodes, if I can get them all to T14

Well I finally started DD3. Node one took like 3 or 4 days. Just started Node 2and got the first group to like half health before I died. If your saying there is a symbiote node, I may give up now.

Post by difoj on Oct 26, 2020 20:02:17 GMT -4
That 3rd node is the shit node, all Ms. Marvel + brawlers with some Drax and Shield Security. The symbiotes team is the best for doing the city nodes since they heal on debuffing and that's all they do.
What team are you using for the first set of nodes?

Post by kallor on Oct 27, 2020 8:38:20 GMT -4
Well the first 5 I have managed to get to T14 are these.
Thanos - 119,356 Rocket - 114,324 Wolverine - 114,802 Captain America - 114,626 Phoenix - 110,643
The shittacular way the store works severely limits what can be done. I can never get that newer unique and every character needs like 60 of them. 15 to 20 bucks for 10 means 90 to 120 bucks for a single character. That isnt gonna happen.
This group is doing good damage but I highly doubt I will finish due the money required.
