I thought about RPing a Bandit at one point, I'd ambush low-mid level characters and demand some shit from them but I rethought that because it sounds like cancerous drama more than actual fun.

Could be fun if you aren't a dick about it.

[Astray]

Could be fun if you aren't a dick about it.

Well, point me to a very polite bandit and I'll play one.

[peam]

I'm into this bandit idea.

Want to form a gang?

I totally would but again, it just feels like cancerous bullshit would happen and I'd like to avoid the drama. That and ;go2 complicates areas.

I tried it once. I wanted a buddy from WoW to try GS out but he wasn't really feeling it because of the lack of PvP. I suggested rp'ing as bandits and maybe we could use that as a way to instigate consensual PvP... didn't really work out so well. The first person we ambushed was an elven chick and she started flirting with us and wanted us to go back to the inn with her. My friend has never touched GS again.

Big surprise there.

I made an "Elven Mafia" once and we went around demanding protection money. The GMs shut us down pretty quick.

[karnamm]

The game would be so much more fun with pvp. I never understood why they wouldn't make somethings pvp enabled or just turn a blind eye to it for rping. I would love to be a legit thief. Gelston's idea of mafia is great. I would love to see this in an Rping context.

A while ago I has hunting and of course I am an ambusher who doesn't script. Well there were 2 different people script hunting in the same area. Oddly enough neither were reallly afk. but they were cleaning up my creatures etc. Of course I tried to talk to them both. So I decided just to stalk them and steal from them. Well one said he was impressed by my strategy since how many people afk script.....I took a couple of hundred and a couple gems etc. The other guy decided to swing and then run. He picked up 2 sapphires from my creatures.....so gems that aren't exactly cheap. I didn't swing back even though I could, but he just swung at me an ran.

Just do it

[Astray]

I made an "Elven Mafia" once and we went around demanding protection money. The GMs shut us down pretty quick.

That's dumb. The GMs are fucking lame.

[karnamm]

Just do it

It would be a great time just stalking some afk scripters and just stealing their gems all day long.

[Astray]

I had that happen one day, ages ago. Smacked the piss out of him while he was in RT with a Claid. Head crit killed him and when I saw him again he decided to be a little smarmy weenie so I used Garrote on him in town.

[karnamm]

I really don't want to cause trouble.....but I don't think I should ever be punished for not have a disk because people want to script and I want to experience the game a different way.

[Methais]

Ambushers without disks have kills taken by people who didn’t know they were there. It’s a fact of life you’ll just have to accept if you choose to refuse to use a disk.

As for PvP, 99% of PvP in GS comes down to who attacks first. The system itself is shit for any type of skill based PvP.

[Astray]

Nobody is punishing you. Gems are light enough they don't weigh you down unless you have them in bulk. Did you catch the persons name by the way? I'm tempted to hang out in lower levels areas and kill shit just for the little asshole to take a swing at me.

... and hits for 43 points of damage!
Solid strike caves your skull in, resulting in instant death!
Your heart hammers suddenly in your chest before failing entirely. Even the influence of Troll's Blood is not enough to change the fact of your death.
The dim aura fades from around you.
The bright luminescence fades from around you.
The powerful look leaves you.
You become solid again.
The shimmering multicolored sphere fades from around you.

The glowing specks of energy surrounding you suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.
You feel your extra magical awareness leave you.
You no longer bristle with energy.
You feel your extra strength departing.

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 10 mins...
A half-elven thief leaps out of his hiding place!
A half-elven thief laughs in victory!
He roots through your pockets and takes some silver coins. With an evil grin, he pulls out a belt pouch and stashes away his ill-gotten gain.

Darkness punctuated by a constellation of starry pinpoints wells up to the surface of your skin and splinters away with a sound like shattering crystal.

You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

Blasted into a thousand pieces your remains speed through a limitless void for several moments before you feel a tugging on your remains by some unseen force. You realize you are falling rapidly when abruptly your remains come to a crashing stop.

I usually get the 515 refresh off, and then get imploded 0.000000001 seconds before I can get a cast off.

[Asha]

That 1 second can stretch wayyy beyond 1 second when it comes to the game recognising the command to escape or save myself.
There's a log on here somewhere of a Nelemar hunt I failed, which has four or five ''... wait 1 second'' prompts as I hammered 'command+S' (incant spirit fog).

I was really pumped for the hunt that day too. I remember going out there feeling really lucky for some reason and it went well till the end where I was face down in the water, drowned.
Stopped feeling lucky after that.

Sounds like a good introduction to hunting OTF or Nelemar or any other near/capped hunting ground, where the smallest bit of a failed roll can equal death. Ugh.

The suckiest thing, you have a lot more disablers available by the time your capped. Not as many here. Have to juggle mana/stam a lot more carefully.

They are still easy AF though, but they can catch you sometimes.

Wow a 242. If the critter rolls a 100 then they get another d100 roll, then if they roll a 100 again they get yet another d100 roll. That's how open rolls work right? I might be confusing this with a different game.

If so they rolled two 100's in a row, that's like a 1 in a billion chance of happening.*

My capped wizard, with his armor, 520 active and 130 ranks of earth lore - when he's stunned - has phenomenal level of crit padding (31 CER).

I got stunned by a triton radical that cast Censure. (my wizard now sits at 31 CER in a stunned status)
This forced a penalty of 35 to my SMRv2 defense roll - which made it a lot easier for me to be hit.
A triton combatant then charged me and with a 158 endroll I suffered 30 points of damage and a rank 2 leg wound that knocked me prone.

158 endroll under the old CML for a charge maneuver never did that kind of damage to my wizard even when he wasn't stunned. He would get knocked down, but usually resulted in a rank 1 wound with 15-20 health loss and maybe a two round stun. If it wasn't for his off the charts crit padding he would have lost a leg and a more health from that 158 endroll.

The awful shit punishment that SMRv2 maneuvers dishes out now fucking blows. Low endrolls that can crit kill a pure is a fucking joke.

Naijin "But you defend better as a pure against all maneuvers now!" "Also, your SMRv2 defense has been reduced so you get hit easier as a pure."
