View Full Version : How many Scape Dolls make you feel safe/comfortable?

For me my comfort zone is 3 Scape Dolls. As a Gt and even Wt I'm pretty much usually at distance from the really hard enemies so I don't die too often. I believe carrying less also encourages me to keep on my toes and not goof around. But how about you? Do you like a full compliment of them or somewhere inbetween?

1 or 2 is fine for me. Don't really need it though even in Dulk Fakis, unless a jusnagun teleports behind me and does megid 3x in a row.

I usually carry 5 Scapes with me. I rarely ever use them though, and generally hand them over to anyone who's lost one (or more) during a mission...

Damn straight, screw rank. In S2 missions I generally go in scape-less. XD Thats what giresta is for.
I generally ask first though. Sometimes the party actually wants rank (though I haven't been in one on the JP server that did in about a month XD). In those cases I bring 4.

I'm offline, so scapes are a must, as death results in a no-saves-for-you-go-back-to-title.
i carry 10 with me all the time, but most of the time i havent lose any scape lately...maybe cause they cant kill me...http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I never carry 10, I dislike having over seven, as I may find one and it makes me mad when I can't pick them up.

I carry one and stow the rest on my PM. I usually bench myself if I die more than once, since I probably have no business attempting a mission that gives me that much trouble.
That is, of course, on missions where Rank results matter.

Always have 10 on me. Just so used to seeing them since I don't die all that often (if at all). If I happen to catch myself with 8 or 9, I just buy/make more so it's at 10. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I voted 1 to 2, depends on the areas and characters I'm using (also their classes). With mei lin I rly rly rarely die when she's fT, as PT tho she needs a few scapes as a help. Archemedes.... bah one or two scapes suffice with all 3 classes. Mai'we still being at a certain middle lvl stage doesn't rly need any scapes, monsters are too slow http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Made In China though... omg I'm so bad at the hunter classes xD Yeah a few scapes needed http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif' I only bring 10 on Archemedes when I4m doing SEED Awakening S.

I carry a full stock of what i need. Which entails 5 G traps of each usuable variety (where applicable), 20 mates of which suit the current char the most, 10 scapes, and such forth...

6 scape is enough. I don't die anyway. Hell when I leveled ranger to 10, I never used a single mono/di/tri mate. It's an insult to use mates a newman instead of resta.

I can't vote, there is no 0.
Anyway, i cope only with those i drop and synth, so when i get one, i usually stock it in my room in order to save it for further events where i'm quite sure to need it (like a megid dodgeball map).

I just carry what I find. I don't die excessively enough to merit buying them.

But then this one time at fakis i only had one left and well he did some stupid thing and i died. It was quite shocking.

Seriously though, as many as I can carry. Even if I don't need them, there's usually someone else who does, and I have no problem sharing.

i like to carry 7. any more and id be worried about picking up more scapes than i can hold.
btw, i play in random jp parties all the time and everyone uses scapes normally.
Akaimizu

I typically carry around 3-5. I expect to use 1, at most, on one of the more difficult missions. (Hive might be an exception, but with so many requests to play Parum and Neudiaz; I don't see Hive so much, these days, to go back and see how much better I am against it.)
While I don't concern other people as much for their deaths, I'm especially hard on myself. It's normally (kill me once, shame on you; kill me twice, shame on me). Though I don't wallow in self-pity, I tend to simply use that energy to try to make an example of the next one of those buggers I see. Kind of wierd, since I'm a bit more self-sacrificing, in a group. Believe me, I'm gearing for the day. The day the Go Vahras get their come-uppance, and I'm in a position to simply make them my playthings.

I carry ten,a)because I'm a protranser and my HP/DFP sucks and b)because I've found that people can run out rather quickly in Crimson beast if you get the Jarba block 3 map.
Rashiid
Apr 24, 2007, 10:08 AM
i carry 9, incase one drops in a mission, i can still get it (better then those stupid materials like Vucaline)
i do it mainly cause, id rather spend 45-50k on the spot, than keep draining 5-10k over time while doing missions.....
DarkDeception
Apr 24, 2007, 10:32 AM
I only really need 1 to feel safe but as most people seem to be saying I just keep my inventory full. That way if I die a lot by megid or somebody else needs them I can help
amtalx
Apr 24, 2007, 12:09 PM
2 or 3. I'm a gunner, so if I'm get smacked around I'm not doing my job.
tailz
Apr 24, 2007, 12:48 PM
i usually carry 3-5, but no more than 5 cuz i always end up doin sumthin retarded and losin the whole stack, so i keep extras in my PM... i feel safe with 2 tho, cuz if i die once i leave to buy another, n its always good to have one extra just in case megid hits me in the back of the head on the way out...
tips: if ur fallin asleep but dont wanna stop playin, make sure ur scape-doll-less... lost 5
if ur soloin n dont wanna waste scape dolls so u drop em in the mission n
pick em up at the end... remember to PICK EM UP lost 2
if ur wantin to solo n not waste scape dolls but ur in a mission that takes a
few other missions to get to n u dont wanna go all the way back to ur
room, u just lock the party n drop ur scapes inside the mission.... suck
it up, dont be lazy, n go 2 ur room... LAG OUTS CAN BE A B***H lost 4

You got a real point. The scapes are often more or less for stuff beyond your control. No amount of gamer skill will defeat lag, if it happens at a bad time. That monster alone is better than any in-game monster ever produced. So is the woe of the internet. Still, it's a good thing it works as well as it does considering how it runs across various stranger's networks who don't know each other at all.

I hit and run alot and usually only get killed by Megid. Or Kagajibari's whirlwind move...>_<
I could just carry around 2 or 3 and feel completely safe, but I always carry max. Its good to have max just incase someone else runs out.

Apr 24, 2007, 01:07 PM
I just like to have 2 of them on me.

3-4 is in the lead~yay! That means most people are skilled.... I think? ^_^;
The poll edit is silly. If I wanted to ask "do ya feel safe/comfortable not carrying scapes?" I woulda~ after all there is no such thing as carrying "0" of something um... well something like that anyway.
CyarVictor
Apr 24, 2007, 01:28 PM
3-4. I think that's enough just in-case something goes wrong. I even can say having 2-3 is fine. Right now i have 7 or 8 because I keep picking them up in missions >.<. Guess that's a good thing so I can hand em out if people do run low on scapes.

10, Because I ended up using 11 in a 3man all FF all axes Dulk Fakis S run. One of my partners used more, but he has told me I am unable to disclose exactly how many. I'll just say anywhere between 20 and 80.
vg_geek86
Apr 24, 2007, 01:37 PM
Ive had 10 on me for quite some time, just from picking them up. I dont usually die cept for megid, otherwise if I feel Im strugglin I just back off and play it safe.
Paramedic
Apr 24, 2007, 01:39 PM
5 is usually what I carry. Plenty in case something goes wrong. (Multiple times) But not max, because then you won't get any free ones if they drop.
Garroway
Apr 24, 2007, 01:50 PM
I typicaly run with 0. Besides; the vast majority of the time that I intend to bring scape dolls with me I end up forgetting them anyways and not realising until 3 or 4 missions later when my inventory fills up. It isn't that i don't need mission points or money either, it's just that you can always run the mission again if you didnt get enough.
On the other hand I never leave home without at least 4 Homemade Cakes.

1-2 usually, but for S2's, 3-4

As many as I can afford when I need them.
In other cases, I just run around using the leftovers from the time I did need them.

5 in parties, 0 if I'm soloing.
I don't care if I screw up my own rank, but I don't want to be the one to mess up everyone else.

0. Man I don't need no wussy scapes! It's what seperate the men/women from the boy/girls. I carry as many as I can afford

doesnt mean they're skilled, they're just confident.
being that on S2 missions, even the weakest enemies can hit me for about 100-200, (which is 1/8 of my health) and normal/bigger enemies hit me for about 400-600, id rather not take my chances
GRRR low DFP!!

Apr 24, 2007, 05:04 PM
I carry 1 or none. And I rarely use it.
How people die so many times I'll never know.

at the moment 8 is where i felt safest. mainly cus of those dang purple balls. sometimes it only takes one hit to kill me with those
Jife_Jifremok
Apr 25, 2007, 11:48 AM
I tend to carry around 7 or 8. Scapes are great bullshit insurance, especially when dealing with poor hit detection combined with lag, Protranser DFP, outside distractions, and those times when I just don't give a fuck (like attacking jarbas from the front with an axe without bothering to dodge the megid). Also, nothing goes wrong if I use scapes and forget to restock since I rarely use more than 2 per mission.

any amout makes me more confortable, but sadly the more comfortable i am with my scapedolls, the less fun the game is.
Sonic Team should be SHOT for allowing you to buy them.
