People who only kill one creature in a hunting ground piss me off.

[AnticorRifling]

People that only kill the black forest ogres while leaving the boars and vipers piss me off. They are killing the only thing with treasure and leaving the two other creatures with man attacks to basically swarm up. Saw the same female sorcerer do it several times, walk into a room with a viper and an ogre, kill ogre and move. Same sorc also must have been scripting given the speed she reacted to an entrance message of an ogre, that or she's got her finger poised over the macro button. Either way, stop it. And I hope to hell you're not afk ala Sodrot in my area or you'll find yourself on your back.

[Kainen]

well damn.. I sorta to the same thing.. but not for money reasons.. I hunt the lower weald in Vaalor.. I dont like trying to kill sarcastin spirits cuz they tend to hurt me.. so I kil the niirsha and the zombies and leave them alone. But I can see your point..
But I hate it that people blame sorcerers for EVERYTHING! No I know you are not talking to me.. but dammit.. blame another profession for a change.

[Parkbandit]

Sorcerers are the bane of society and should be killed at every opportunity.

[Eiderfleur]

Emelyn and Oddeye used to do that in Wyneb Temple when I used to hunt there, kill the supplicants and hierophants while leaving the dogmatists behind, used to PISS ME OFF!

Neither are sorcerers though.

I do it when I hunt in Varunar. I only go after the Warhorses, Lords and Roa'ters on occasion. There's no way I'm wasting mana on a lower creature that's also in the area who won't have as much treasure and won't give me as much experience if any. But if the person is script hunting I can see how it might affect you to the point of being pissed off if it's a constant thing.

[Betheny]

they are all just as easy to kill, I always preferred vipers, honestly.

people that hunt only ogres are there for treasure, and shouldn't be there in the first place.

There are some exceptions though -- in wyneb, say. I can't kill dogmatists, so I have to leave them.

And I hope to hell you're not afk ala Sodrot in my area or you'll find yourself on your back.

So, this is what it takes to get sex0red.

I know who you're talking about, but I can't remember her name. I never see her when I hunt in the tree tops, so you might wanna try that. Plus, there aren't any boars.

Grandsome

[Numbers]

I do the same thing, but only if the area has such a wide level gap where I'll hardly learn from the younger creatures. Like DarkelfVoid said, I'm not going to waste mana on a creature I hardly learn from.

The most I'll do is Symbol of Calm them, especially if it's a creature that can throw a maneuver attack my way.

[GSLeloo]

Anticor got mad at me for not saying hi when he didn't say hi to me either!!!

I implode everything equally. I don't deal with treasure cause... I dunno I hate hunting and implode is fast.

[Chadj]

People who are Anticor piss me off.



Down with Anticor! :mad:

[Drew2]

Vipers are most definitely the easiest to kill. One bone shatter usually does it.

But anyway. In Skull Temple I don't bother with the dogmatists yet since my CS isn't high enough to hit them more than 25% of the time. I still kill supplicants and hierophants, though. does that count?

[Gan]

In OTF I kill everything but the constructs because they resist my magiks and it makes me sad.

In wyneb I kill everything as long as there isnt more than 2 everything in the same room with me, then I run and pick em off when they come to my new empty room one at a time... that makes me happy.

But I do understand your angst and agree that in an area like ogres and only killing ogres sux0rs.

[Edaarin]

I left dogmatists alone in GSIII because I couldn't push their DS down.

I don't think anyone kills constructs in OTF except maybe Tsin and Boomsplat. What pisses me off are people who can't hunt in an area but insist on trying, and then run when something preps a spell.

[Eiderfleur]

The few times I have hunted OTF alone I've killed everything except the constructs which are resistant to my magic. *mutter*

However, all other areas I've hunted I have killed everything in my path and gotten killed plenty of times along the way.

There is a difference between not killing it because you can't, not killing it because it's not worth the exp, and not killing it because you're a lazy ass. The boars, vipers and ogres all kill just as easy and are all close in age.

Treasure isn't really the issue as ogres are pretty poor to begin with. I just hate the vipers because I have to 415 them to stun then swing them to death but I kill everything I can. Few more trains and I'll move to the temple I guess.

[Asha]

I cant touch dogmatists either but the rest are cake . .
In the end I took my sorcerer ass to the griffins keen and found that to be better.
sept when I get picked up, but it isnt often.

A lot of people just can't kill dogmatists. Should they just not hunt in the area?

[Stunseed]

< I'll move to the temple I guess. >

Unless I decide TK's are my best bet, I may be over in Blighted Forest in a few trains. You better be around so we can hunt there still.

[Syberus]

That's kinda sad (the dogmastic thing) Not sad in the sense that you suck you can't kill them, but when I hunted skull temple back in gs3, the dogmastics were like 80, and had about 180 TD because they genned spelless, they were (and still are I believe) simple destroyed by DC.

No, not at all.

However, when they see someone stunned and getting their ass whooped by a creature and all they do is run past, run back see you stunned on the floor and getting whooped some more, rinse repeat till you die. Then they run through the room about 15 times before actually stopping, by then the dogmatist has summoned up two farlooks which ARE extremely lethal for most people who hunt the temple...... That does piss me off

Oddeye and Emelyn have done this too many times.

Eiderfleur never minded killing dogmatists because she used to learn from it. If i had problems because one of the really high level ones genned then I would cast tremors etc etc all I could until I would kill it so it wouldn't kill one of the people who hunt there who are younger than herself.

[Sean of the Thread]

Fleur plz stop being vulgar and offnesive in this thread today.

[Eiderfleur]

Feh!

[Asha]

:cry:

[Dhuul]

don't the boars or vipers have skins? must be of a decent value...since they are pretty high up in levels...

[GSLeloo]

Actually if it's a sorcerer doing it using implode, like I am, the boars are harder to implode because they don't stun. The others usually just explode on first cast but the boars take more casts and often switching to a different spell. But I'll kill them anyway cause sometimes it's hard to find things.

Hunt TK's, then you can hunt with Chiv.

[BigBadBonar]

Wht lvl are MTK's and Harbs? Deciding to go their, teras, or temple... glacier just ain't gonna cut it all too soon.

[AnticorRifling]

The boars and vipers give decent skins but I can't skin anymore. When we went to GSIV I went away from 1x FA and became 1x CM.

The boars do stun. I've dropped them stunned several times with my godendag. Might want to try hitting them with something else then finishing with implode for the quick kill.

[Asha]

They dont stun
or prove they do please . .

Shimm

[Asha]

best way to deal with boars is to take a right front leg and a left rear leg . . then hack away to your leasure , occasionally kissing it on the snout.

Thats why. Its not worth the time and mana.

it's basicly their TD.

Dogs also have a nasty habbit of comming back to life right after you kill them.

Though there is a bug currently if you search them fast enough they still decay.

[AnticorRifling]

Tijay I'm saying if you have the ability and don't not, this isn't a slam at people that just can't kill something in the area. If you can kill an ogre in the blightet forest you can kill a boar or viper with equal ease.

Let me get a chance I'll stun a boar, I'm pretty sure I've done it.

They have eyes that are very squishy for arrows

[Lumi]

I'm considering the Black Forest and the Temple at the suggestion of a friend. If I end up not killing a particular critter type consistently, I'm sorry, it'll be because I can't (or haven't figured out how yet!)

A couple questions about those critters:

1) Do they shake stuns?
2) Are any 1005 resistant? Any bards hunting there at the moment?

Also, since someone mentioned greater cosntructs a little while ago:

1) Do they have any resistance to weapon flares? If so, which kinds?
2) Do they break weapons or cause something to happen to them on an attack, like gargoyles or lava golems?

Thanks.

[Nieninque]

Boars dont stun and have nasty charges.
Vipers and Ogres stun well enough
WTF is 1005?
and no on the rest

[Lumi]

Sorry, 1005 == lullaby

thnx on the rest

Wrong. Boars stun.

Proof:

You unleash a bolt of churning air at a massive black boar!

The black boar stunned by strike to hand.

[Czeska]

Perhaps I'm not understanding the reason behind the rant.. you're mad cause someone's taking the critters with treasure? Or cause they're leaving hard critters for you to kill?

Maybe it's just me.. hunt what you want, how you want, as long as I'm not getting hurt or poached.

I do, however, agree that not helping someone who is stunned or down, sucks.

Correction: Boars do not stun for anyone but Anticor :P

They are leaving the "hard" critters making it more difficult for others in the area to hunt because the "hard" critters abound.

I could care less about treasure, if treasure was an issue I damn sure wouldn't be in the blighted forest.

As a swinger that might not be true, most animals have tough skin and they are a pain in the ass, also if you don't skin then its a waste of time. Its much more satisfing to search and see at least a worthless weapon and armor than nothing. I hate hunting beasts.

[AnticorRifling]

They all kill easily for me, I should have been more clear. I have the advantage of swinging the ogres and boars to death and vipers fall to 415 real easy. Also I swing once a second and use tremors.

I'm just there for exp. I don't skin and that place is poor loot wise. But it's decently fast learning for me at least.
