How do you use DW:T?

Groove Champion The Groove Champions Darkwind Guru Group: Subscribers Posts: 2,931 Joined: Sep 16, 2008 I'm curious to know how Dark Wind: Tactical is being used by other players, and particularly how and why it is used. If you use DW:T for anything besides the listed options, please elaborate below. --- Personally, I never use DW:T (which is a big part of why I'm curious about it) because I feel it takes away from the risk-laden travels and scouts in regular DW. I feel that if I practiced a particular scenario over and over again, though I might be more successful in the end, I would also lose the spontaneous thrills of uncertainty. Also, I categorically refuse to simulate the use of super-rare equipment until I've actually earned it through regular DW play. Again I feel it would take away from the magic of finally obtaining these rare goodies. ......................... Stock Car Lap Records: 22 .. Pro Car Lap Records: 1 Posted May 17, 2010, 8:32 pm

*Parapsycho* Molotov Mafia Autodueller Group: Marshals Posts: 356 Joined: May 23, 2006 I'd love to see more Tac story-arc events, as I think the roleplaying potential in them is pretty vast. In the past, I've used them to create one-off events that I would probably never do in regular DW. The 'Bus Pirates' one comes to mind. Two busses with side mounted RLs.... Fun Times! I think having some simple scripting options would make things more interesting... ......................... Posted May 30, 2010, 7:05 am

Groove Champion The Groove Champions Darkwind Guru Group: Subscribers Posts: 2,931 Joined: Sep 16, 2008 Would there be a way to adapt DW:T into a narrative mission builder? Or do players already have other tools to do that? I'm just trying to think of ways DW:T could be emphasized. It seems like the casual players we might have expected would favor DW:T prefer to play casually in the "real" DW world. That leaves DW:T virtually deserted, which is a real shame because I find it has awesome potential. ......................... Stock Car Lap Records: 22 ..

I'm planning on looking into this, and I agree - it's a pity how little it is used considering the work it took! ......................... Posted Aug 28, 2010, 8:29 pm

I've started to use it a little ore to test out skin designs that are too big to display in the showimages (TT, Lorry, etc) ......................... Stock Car Lap Records: 8 ..

Deathangels Shadow Epilogue Autodueller Group: Contributors Posts: 446 Joined: Jul 24, 2007 A big part of it is that the interface is rather daunting. Also - is it possible to play against the AI, or only other players? Not seeing somewhere to set that up, though it could just be that I haven't looked in the right place. .........................
