Still that was some nice offensive, prone and disarmed DS.
IF it wasn't for the RT it'd incredible fun in otf.. constantly switching to deal with the massive crowds that enter and trying to counter their abilities.
Instead of just having to suddenly sit back and sip coffee while you wait for the sudden-insta from nowhere 100 sec RT.

yeah, well, I had my own cleric spells up, plus wizard spells, plus I think colors/dex. It allows me to 312 the griffins open handed in offensive, which is quite devastating. Of course, it makes my SOL if I get ambushed like this, so I usually only do that once I clear the room of everything but the griffin.

And all my signs, as well.

"There you are! We don't tolerate your crimes in Icemule Trace, no we don't! Come along now!" says the Halfling deputy.

With a keen eye, the Halfling deputy glances over Foxs quickly. He says, "We'll not have you dying before sentence is carried out. Let's get you healed up, though there will of course be a slight charge for it." With that, a demure looking city official, evidently an empath, comes forward and heals all Foxs's maladies.

The Halfling deputy then drags her off.

I don't know what happened to Higher. He was using a Holy Receptacle Gem (1st level) to turn silver to gold. He seemed to have succeeded, and immediately died afterwards, maybe from bloodloss, or something. I dunno. The two events don't seem related.

-TheE-

I wouldn't guess they're unrelated... there is no prompt inbetween the use of the gem and the death, although I am just assuming it didn't get edited out, I don't know anything about holy receptacle, but just my observation of the statement.

Although the forest is visible on the horizon to the south, there is no way of getting there across
the treacherous swamp in between. Slowly the swamp seems to be reclaiming the cobblestone road,

completely covered the roadway, and to the east the roadway dips and jogs, fighting to stay above
the sinking terrain.

Such a broken spell, there isn't even a warding...just "Umm, ok you die" sooo utterly stupid.

If that is the result of EVERY focused implosion regardless of level, training or creature/player then I would agree. I am fully 2x in spell aim, unless the spell acts differently with players versus creatures, I don't explode creatures +/- 5 levels of my level with every cast.

Prelogue:

Tandala attacks Revon for attacking Ashonne. Tandala gets her ass beat and says she'll kill him.

Tandala is a stupid bitch who constantly mows her levels over everyone, I've watched her do it since she was level four and up.

She's part of a cliche in Vaalor who constantly does above sentence.

She cannot seperate herself from the game, and has killed my characters over OOC knowledge.

This death makes me as happy as text can make someone happy.

Stupid motherfuckers getting served:

*Incomplete log, I was late*

[Roll result: 84 (open d100: 12)]

[Victory Road]
Ancient oak trees stand as sentinels along both sides of the road. Earlier travelers have carved into some of the boughs with their initials. Wedged between some branches in the tallest of the magnificent trees lies an over-sized birds nest. A gentle breeze carries the soft scent of wild roses through the air.

Yeah, I don't know why people say things like this. This isnt Diablo II we are playing its suppose to be RP. Some of the most fun I have had was RPing a conflict with someone who very easily killed me cause they were way over my train.

Good use of 710 and 718 though. Can't say I've bothered with them.
May reconsider.

718 is a tough call. You can't turtle in a pinch, or you are dead. If the Ithzir fades and you are stunned and prone, it may kill you regardless of what stance you are.

710 is useful in swarms when you dont feel like running. ::grin::

>disarm my strong
Having discovered a trap on the strongbox you begin to carefully attempt to disarm it...
You feel like you've made a pathetic attempt.
As you poke around inside the lock, you hear a buzzing noise coming from within a weathered thanot strongbox. Something darts out of the strongbox and settles at the lock opening! A tiny translucent insect with a large eye etched on its shell flutters there momentarily, then scuttles about and faces away from you!
An etched translucent scarab focuses the eye etched into its back towards you!
An etched translucent scarab stares into your eyes.
CS: +842 - TD: +271 + CvA: +25 + d100: +5 == +601

The translucent scarab suddenly transforms into a horridly grotesque image, inducing utter terror in your soul!
A gut-wrenching fear twists deep into your soul. You turn pale and then fall limp to the ground, killed by some inconceivable fear!
It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...
You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.
...departing in 14 mins...
Chittering noisily, the translucent scarab disappears once more into the strongbox.

________________________________________

It was only a -314 trap, well within my range without using lore... so I thought I would give it a go in order to fill the head a little more than I get with lore up.

Seems its not my day. :(

(Not 5 minutes before that my healer was killed by a construct's bear hug manuever in OTF.) I think its time to head to the pool for a bit. :p

Revon likes to pick on low lvl. Especially when it is about something that is none of his business. This has just been my experience from things ive witnessed, im sure others feel otherwise.

I believe there is a difference between *picking* on people and defending myself from them. I've been in a lot of situations, including this one, where there have been many attempts to kill Revon and when they fail their last resort is to try and turn others against Revon by saying Revon is a *bully*. That same routine gets old.

Also, I didnt plan on killing the others but I was overwhelmed by the amount of attacks and threats so I cleared out the area as fast as could. Then focused on the older characters. Anyone can be killed and it would be stupid to ignore what I may consider a minor attack in a situation like that.

And Fallen, I've used 718 on a janissary which faded while I was stunned and still failed his ward wherever he went to, and died anyway.. probably in the dimension he faded or another room he'd faded back into maybe.
No explanation for where he was when he failed and died but I was pleased.

I agree, but I dont see how i'll be able to avoid that because Revon wont be keeling over and allowing people kill him anytime soon. That is with the assumption that Mistros killed Revon on behalf of Tandala or any of the others. This seems to be the way the game is played now so I doubt there is any way to avoid making multiple enemies. Probably more to come, but Revon will eventually get older. I can wait.

Im sure there are people in game that would have handled it differently than Revon did, even though I dont see how talking can prevent an unexpected ambush, but there are also those that would have done it the same way if they could.

I could have sancted the area but thats not really Revons style. He considers that more of a last resort.

You post all the time with PvP kills but make it seem like you are the victim. There are plenty of controversial roleplayers here who don't have this happen to them.

Yah..Fallen..not Evarin. So why would Fallen, the player of Evarin, target Celeri based on him/her not helping Evarin? Maybe Celeri is new to the area, maybe Celeri doesn't like dark elves, maybe Celeri is scripting..there's a whole lot of reasons why he/she didn't help.

My character doesn't always get helped in OTF. He doesn't go out of his way to make sure the characters who didn't help him get punished for it. Helping someone in GS is NOT a requirement.

Unless I am mistaken, the "him" was referring to Celeri. There was some confusion to the character's sex.

Well I am not sure, but I don't think Celeri ever passed by while you were stunned. First time she passed it was supposedly you standing in RT, with 6 creatures. Second time was eight, and you were down. Although I dont think stunned.

First time wasnt a big deal to me, you mighta just both been moving through. She might not have suspected you would stay in a swarm or something. Second time, she might have stopped to pull you up, but unless shes near capped or beyond, it could be a dangerous move for her to stay in a crowded room like that.

The only time people ever stopped to help me in such a situation, we both died. The last guy who helped me and died.. depart confirmed as soon as he died... Yet he still lost his nice shield. Scout seemingly auto looted on they guys death. Why he was using it in there I dunno. But I felt bad that he lost it while trying to help me.

I doubt I would have tried to stop and help. Not being an ass, but to me if your stuck, your already dead. I wouldn't add my corpse to the pile.

If I knew my guy could handle the swarm however, I would definately try to help. I just don't see very many people in the barrier 'handling' a swarm solo with ease. Course I wasnt there that long.

ELO

08-22-2006, 10:01 PM

Celeri couldn't help you because she was helping me.

When Celeri passed you by, I was stalking her. I saw you laying down, and went to pull you up, but she moved off too soon. (She's level 90, when you see a swarm that big, you run.) Doing that took me out of hiding even though I had no target to lift.

That's when the war griffins came. All I could do was bend over and take it up the rear.

I was angry is all. All it means is that Evarin saw her walk by him when he is prone, he will do the same. Evarin always aids those getting knocked on their ass in OTF. Why? Because he wants that same help. It would be stupid not to seek aid when available considering how insanely easy it is to die in OTF.

I don't know why everyone's acting so friendly on this. If there's races/people/professions my character isn't fond of to begin with, he's not going to throw that RP away and help someone just because it's the hardest hunting area in the game, meanwhile 5 mins later he'd RP being racist towards them in town. If you're gonna RP a racist, or evil character, keep it consistent.

Even the most racist or evil of characters can recognize when it is profitable to make an ally for a future favor or situation that might come up. As someone else mentioned, pulling someone up or unstunning them in a hunting area, or even having a conversation or doing something else helpful with a character of a race that your character normally despises, doesn't mean they aren't racist anymore. Its just investment, basically. And very wise in most cases.

Atlanteax

08-23-2006, 03:35 PM

In certain areas like the Rift or the EN Barrier, Atlanteax will assist Sorcerors and D-Elves under the principle that in such dangerous areas (particularly the EN Barrier where gear can be stolen), grudges are set aside (as a form of detente) in the acknowledgement that the threat (death and gear loss) is mutually shared.

Of course, it is expected that such assistance would be reciprocated. If not, the offending individual(s) would be left to their own demise. However, Atlanteax would not go out of his way to assist anyone who he is hostile to. It is generally limited to unstunning if in the same room (by chance) or dragging the corpse out (if encountered). If there is an *active* feud with another individual (as in the recent two months, not 1 year ago), no assistance is forthcoming.

I don't consider it violating the principles of maintaining consistent RP if protocol is followed as above. I suppose it could be termed "prudent racism" in the regard that normally the bias (race, profession, etc) is maintained, but that there are times that "looking the other way" is the pragmatic choice.

However, the exception to that would be the character with the extremist bias. It would in that situation, violate the principle of maintaining consistent RP.

Atlanteax is "on good terms" with two Sorcerors, who are nonetheless well-aware of his dislike for their profession. In addition, neither are dark elves (which enables the "looking the other way"). Otherwise, his bias against the two (Sorcerors and D-Elves( has been consistent.

To snub someone in the Old City while they are down and out means the favor will likely be returned to you. Why would anyone with any intelligence set themselves up for that type of failure? Common sense transcends good and evil.

It might be common sense to the player, but racism is in of itself beyond common sense, common sense dictates that you will see no benefit from decrying another. So if an individual is being role played as a racist, they should be less inclined to help those they don't like. (I said less inclined because survival instincts generally kick in over racism... that and I just recently watched American History X, so that makes me an expert)

Does your evil character have any deeds? If so, I am guessing it isn't because the character thinks so very highly of the White Whore.

That's a great name for Lorminstra. I just call her Wench. Kadesha and I used to fight about that, since she thought, since I was a Charl worshipper, that I had to "respect" Lorminstra. Been wandering around the lands with no deeds since the moment Death mechanics changed.

That's fine, I can certainly back a snob knowing when to leverage a little aid from a lesser. I guess I was directing my comments more at Jolena's statement about (the most) racists... But there are degrees of racism, so it's all a matter of how far your RP takes it.

As others have said, unless I was actively engaged in a conflict with another character, I would aid another regardless of race/culture. Does that make Evarin a hypocrite? No. It means he is more than willing to do a "good deed" knowing it will likely be returned 10 fold.

Who the hell cuts off their nose to spite their face? ..Besides morons?

My main character is not an 'evil' character, but he is racist, and doesn't help characters that he's racist towards. So what if that person doesn't help him if he's in need? He wouldn't want the help of a person of that race anyway.

Still not convinced? Lets walk a little further down this line of reasoning:

Does your evil character participate in the adventurer's Guild? If so, I bet he isn't doing it for that oh, so warm feeling inside gained by helping others.

No..he participates in the AdG because he's in it to make a name for himself. Although he'll never catch up to Tsin, he's high up there, I feel. And as for helping others, if they're of a race he's friendly towards, sure otherwise he doesn't.

Does your evil character have any deeds? If so, I am guessing it isn't because the character thinks so very highly of the White Whore.

He's not evil, he's racist..so yes, he does have deeds.

I never played Evarin as an ignorant racist, completely blinded by his hatred of others. So, I guess this whole, "Is this fitting your character not to fuck yourself over", argument doesn't apply to me. Carry on.

First of all..what does it matter anyway if someone helps/rescues Evarin or not, since you have him depart as is. What's an extra unstun, cause I'm sure his demeanor is put to cold and no one could pull him up anyway. What then..he's unstunned but is offensive, stance, prone, in RT, and with FoF eating the DS even further.

Either way it didn't help his survival rate, and instead now the let's say the halfling 'hero' thinks Evarin isn't racist towards hobbits and will get a 'shock' when they meet again in town, only this time with racism.

If it's a room with few creatures (5 or less) I'll pull prone people up, or if they're stunned i'll drop a song of peace.

If it's a packed house (more than 5), I'll drop a song of peace.

If someone is stunned and is in a group, I'll keep walking.

Now, sometimes I miss people as I move quickly in OTF (not scripting, just moving quickly to avoid getting rt-locked in packed rooms), but I try and help out when I can.

Failure ? What failure ? If I leave someone flailing, and am consequently not helped while I am vulnerable, that is not failure. That is consequence, and can enhance gaming experience.

Eh? I don't get it. The anti-slamming mechanics got you, but that still doesn't explain why you kept on getting raised? Unless you're saying the GMs purposefully dropped you/brought you back in, and then felt bad?

Has there been a game crash, or something? <gaze>

The last time I got an auto rezz was right around the time that the level cap rolled into effect and the GMs somehow ended up super beefing every single NPC in the game.

A stone sentinel with an AS of 1000-ish killed me and my 20k spell up.

Merzbow

08-24-2006, 07:04 PM

So the game crashed, and the GMs flipped a bit that started auto-raising everyone for 10 minutes or so? Seems fantastically retarded for the exact reason that your log points out.

08-24-2006, 07:22 PM

I think it was nice to raise you, but what I think Merzbow meant, and I would agree with if so, is that it was not in your best interest to be raised in such a dangerous place, when you could not have respelled yourself to go defensive.

If I were the GM in question I would have either sancted the room, then raised, or used the GM 'pull' and raised you at the barrier entrance.

What did all those deaths do to your exp absorption/CON stat? Or was it not affected?

I've no doubt they had to personally raise the dead characters themselves, not by flicking a no-one dies for 10 mins switch.
With the connectivity problems, people were left hanging in game but disconnected the player from them.
I don't think it was retarded at all. I think they did the best they could.

The only GM that was around while the game was crashing was Antavian, who was (I'm sure) dealing with 50 bazillion reports and it's not even his job. heh.

He's a billing/feedback GM, he was just doing what he could to keep people happy/alive. Poor feller.

On a side note, a few hours later Tolli replaced my deeds/stats and all and fixed my justice history for blowing a trap while frozen.. They did fine, IMO.

Thats makes alot more sense.

Though I have to wonder.. where the hell were the other GMs?

You would think they would pay enough GMs to have one knowledgable one online at any given time. And not have to rely on volunteer GMS, or the ones who dont normally do that sort of thing.

(This is assuming of course that Antavian was actually the only one online at the time.)

Because he's not high enough level to get past the level restrictions.

Soulpieced has helped me out more than a few times. Yeah, he may poach a creature or two, but when I am Call winded, Screeched, and swiftkicked into offensive I dont really mind. OTF is one hunting ground where you can ALWAYS find another monster to kill. Hell, they find you.

08-26-2006, 01:50 PM

I guess I was a little dissapointed thats all. I dont care about poaching, hell I walk in and accidentally kill things at times. And he apologized so I knew he wasnt scripting.

The latter was kind of annoying though, when he walked by me twice getting pounded while prone with no acknowledgement.

Ahh well. Ciest la vie. I'm only out a full head not absorbed and the boxes that were in my disk. Could have been worse.

602 and ranger imbued is the way to go to protect against the lightning attacks from mote and crystal weapons.

I wear neither most of the time since I really try my damndest to hunt on my own spells alone.
The lightning flares on my armour only stun critters if they hit me and Cloak Of Shadows hasn't done so already.
Considering lightning ranger imbue though. Think Regyy (sp) is the man to go to for it.

Eventually everyone who plays this game becouse they enjoy hunting, ends up in the same place. Soon it'll be in the same 2 places.
I sometimes pray they'll make Vaespilons 97 and Lost Souls 95.

Won't be using my good bows in Teras either since 2 not 1 (like OTF) of the critters will disarm. Starting to think I'll never hunt with a weapon I've saved for in all my time in GS, unless I'm hunting for skins or coin.

I'm pretty sure this was first rumored to be expected as the 100+ creature generating area, but was ultimately slated for 80-100, and not the proverbial former.

Merzbow

08-28-2006, 01:41 PM

I'm pretty sure they said it would be up to 105, and another area coming much later would be up to like 130 and require group hunting (hopefully they won't make it like that WoW raid bullshit).

Asha

08-28-2006, 07:55 PM

All I'm saying is that I saved to have a damn good weapon and I've bonded to it personally (altered for character ect).
And since being forced to hunt OTF I've had to locker it.
And it looks like now I'll have to keep it there if I value it.

Trust me 4x weapons are cheap and I use them all the time. It's just aggrivating I'll not use my favourite shit again.

RT deaths happen wether you're hard as nails or not. When you die you better decay or they have your weapon.
Now, I hunt while everyone's asleep. So there's never been anyone to rescue me or my weapons so I take this as a bad thing.
I'll hunt the ground, no fear. My strength with 4x weapons is awesome. I'll just use my expensive gear for skinning and coin.

I had to laugh at this one... played for about 30 minutes this morning before work with my wizard trying to kill some acolytes in the spidey temple. Left for work. Came back to realize I never signed my character off, and had died and decayed. I fuckin' blame Tsoran for this since he had the altar in the Spider Temple (which I'd never been in before) marked as a node, and thus I assumed it was sancted like every other fracking node I've been to. Nope!

You find yourself wandering amidst endless streaming light and vast nothingness. This place feels torn between two powers, polar opposites vying for your loyalty. You are surrounded by the spirits of those who could not choose. The only way out seems to be through light or darkness.

Time has no meaning as you wander aimlessly amidst the uncomfortable tugging for your attention. Hopelessness washes over dreams you once held like the creeping tide of doom.

After what could be moments, or perhaps an eternity, the goddess Lorminstra finds you wandering in the endless space and speaks soothingly to you. She gently reassembles the pieces of your tattered soul and then, taking you by the hand, the goddess leads you back to mortality...

I hunt with 3 spirit signs running. Some mad shit happened where I had to wrack more than I usually did, more mana and all..
I had 8 spirit when I wracked right when Voln girl zoomed past.
All signs insta dropped, instant decay.

Usually by the time I finish a hunt I have at least three spirit and 10 mins before the signs drop.

Celephais

08-31-2006, 03:15 PM

Wait... so you timed it so that you would recover enough SPs after the wrack but before your signs dropped that you wouldn't die? Isn't that cutting it close anyway?

Signs last 16:40-17:25 at cap, worst case scenario you're looking at 2:30 between pulses, but it averages 2m, so at worst like 6 pulses, generally plenty enough time.

The world before you dissolves into a grainy montage of color...

You find yourself wandering amidst endless streaming light and vast nothingness. This place feels torn between two powers, polar opposites vying for your loyalty. You are surrounded by the spirits of those who could not choose. The only way out seems to be through light or darkness.

Time has no meaning as you wander aimlessly amidst the uncomfortable tugging for your attention. Hopelessness washes over dreams you once held like the creeping tide of doom.

After what could be moments, or perhaps an eternity, the goddess Lorminstra finds you wandering in the endless space and speaks soothingly to you. She gently reassembles the pieces of your tattered soul and then, taking you by the hand, the goddess leads you back to mortality...

You feel drained!

The world before you dissolves into a grainy montage of color...

You find yourself wandering amidst endless streaming light and vast nothingness. This place feels torn between two powers, polar opposites vying for your loyalty. You are surrounded by the spirits of those who could not choose. The only way out seems to be through light or darkness.

Time has no meaning as you wander aimlessly amidst the uncomfortable tugging for your attention. Hopelessness washes over dreams you once held like the creeping tide of doom.

After what could be moments, or perhaps an eternity, the goddess Lorminstra finds you wandering in the endless space and speaks soothingly to you. She gently reassembles the pieces of your tattered soul and then, taking you by the hand, the goddess leads you back to mortality...

You feel drained!

Two words..Prep 410. By incanting 410, it auto targets the construct and it won't knock it down cause it's magic shield is still up, whereas if you do it with the other way, you don't have a target and you can ewave groups of them.

Also, you got your ranged AS to be pretty much similar to a ranger/rogue. What spells you using to boost that up?

Asha

09-07-2006, 08:58 AM

117 but editing out the force. It just looks better.
AS is 411 with 6x bow and 5x arrows ( I know it's overkill for AS but I have the 6x bow for DS )
When i utterly have to snipe someone and know they're dead I can raise it to above 550.
Thanks for the 410 advice. Glaringly obvious shit like that is exactly what I miss everytime.

Yeah I was wondering at the ability to get a ranged as as high as a 100 rogue... Really sucks that a sorcerer can be as proficient with a weapon. I mean good for you... but just wrong overall.

edit: Ah 411 huh... still pretty high. In regards to this... Whats the cap on AS bonus from perception and ambush?

You carefully begin to examine an enruned mithril chest for traps...

Peering closely into the lock, you spy a tiny translucent scarab wedged into the lock mechanism. The scarab's shell is etched on the back with a large eye that seems to shift lazily about.

It looks like an intricate trap (about -284).
