Its awesome to see what an epic fight actually looks like on Amia, and it looked awesome. I hope to one day see one myself. Well done DM's.

It's actually quite laggy... Even with a small amount of people like that unless you've got some super computer.

Hehe. Maybe a few hitches in the fight-- But it was epic to watch nonetheless. Well done team, well done players! And a salute to you, Glim.

Looked pretty nasty. I would've been paralyzed by lag and dead in the first 30 sec, I'm sure. :D

What were those little black multi-armed ape-like things? And what was the effect that looked like Word of Faith with the four smooth pillars? Was that a spell or one of the Phane's abilities?

The black critters were Past Time Duplicates of the PCs. One for each and when you killed your duplicate, you had to make a Will save because you just watched yourself die.

The columns was Vox something, Tuomas' custom spell that actually got the killing blow.

Thanks for doing the work to cut that all together Fabian :) good buildup before the actual fight video, I like it.

Anyone who was a part of the battle and did get lag (I didn't get any myself that I saw but doesn't mean there wasn't any) I'd like to hear from you in a PM, as many specifics about where/when/during what you experienced lag, so that I can fine-tune the encounter please.

And to clarify for some folks, the encounter was 100% scripted mechanically. I didn't have to control the Phane at all or make it use any of its abilities. And thanks to some help from Selmak/Disco, all of its abilities are randomly targeted between all PCs present.

That was a cool video from a cool scene.

I only noticed lag during the main body of the combat but even that was only ancillary. Plus, I admit I generally get combat from huge scale fights .

It's not really something you can help, I find it's the more N/PCs with high amount of VFX on everyone is going to cause lag regardless of fine tuning..
