Now, educators are finding that ARGs can also be successful educational activities and games that they can design themselves even if they do not have strong technical skills. There also have been various ARGs created to market consumer products and services. Another great benefit of ARGs is that they are relatively inexpensive to develop compared to educational computer or video games.ĪRGs have their roots in marketing for movies and television shows. In addition, the games help students develop valuable 21st century learning skills, including collaboration, creativity, communication, and critical thinking. Players participated by creating videos, blogs, and other media showing how they were reacting to each new piece of news about the oil shortage".Įducational ARGs present a fun way to learn about practically any subject matter. For example, in the World Without Oil ARG, players were put into a storyline where they had to react (as themselves) to a world in which oil began to become scarce.
Instead, players play as themselves in the storyline of a game. In an ARG, players do not play a fictitious character as they do in most videogames. As players complete each task, the game presents new scenarios and eventually takes players through an entire storyline.
#QUELL ZEN WALKTHROUGH ALTERNATE REALITY SERIES#
Archery has always been a great Blaster set due to its short cooldown nuke in Rain of Arrows and both a solid single target and AoE attack chain."An educational alternate reality game (ARG) is a social learning experience consisting of a series of scenarios that lead students to collaboratively solve puzzles and accomplish activities. Energy Manipulation amplifies Archery’s ability to quickly clear out entire groups in short order with powers such as Boost Range, allowing the Archer to pull off these feats of destruction from significantly longer distances, which means less risk to your squishy self. This combination is pure fantasy fulfillment. There’s not a whole lot of special synergy here other than theme, though the fact Hail of Bullets is PBAoE works out well if you want to get into melee. If you’ve always wanted to pull off something like Neo in City of Heroes, this is a great pairing to go with.
The melee attacks in Martial Combat aren’t a liability, either.
Most of them have knockback or knockdown effects attached to them, so you can reserve them for when you just can’t avoid enemies getting in your face and give yourself some space to keep shooting at them. My very first City of Heroes character in 2004 was a demonic Fire/Fire Blaster. It’s one of the most classic options in City of Heroes, but it’s also extremely effective. For those who just want to watch the world burn, the two sets complement each other tons of AoE options and DoTs for days. If you don’t mind getting into melee range, Elec/Energy can be a solid and somewhat safe Blapper (melee Blaster). Electricity’s gimmick is the fact it drains Endurance from enemies, but unfortunately it’s not that effective outside of certain situations due to the fact enemies must remain fully drained of Endurance to be unable to attack.
With Energy Manipulation, you can use Power Boost to significantly boost those Endurance drain effects to where you’ll be able to keep enemies fully drained, allowing you to punch or blast them safely. The key is using Power Boost and Short Circuit (a PBAoE attack) slotted with Endurance Modification to sap enemies. You can then use your other Electricity powers to keep enemy Endurance zeroed out while you finish off your foes. Is it the best combo in the game? No, but it can be fun!ĭon’t group with this character or everyone will hate you.
