Teras Area Openned -- Plat

[The Ponzzz]

Seems there is quite the twist. Nelemar came and visited and told us of the area.

Only one person was available to go in, seems it's a bit tough to swim to.

Can post a log, if people want it.

[Things2Come]

Yes.

[AestheticDeath]

They should make swimming and climbing alot more useful. Getting to any area with 30 or so ranks is crazy. Try to limit some areas more. Hopefully this isnt the only area they do that with.

[Ignot]

how many ranks you need to get to it?

[bubbauno]

You joltingly stride down the steep incline with a few quick steps.
[Teras Isle, Beach]
Dim moonlight bathes the beach in its glow, causing portions of the beach to shimmer like a masterfully cut gem. The gentle, rhythmic breaking of waves against rock can be heard coming from the sea. You also see a steep incline leading up to the cove.
Also here: Sarise
Obvious paths: none

Erkaya strides joltingly down the steep incline and onto the beach.

You join Sarise.

Erkaya joins Sarise's group.

Sarise dusts off a long split skirt of dark green leather.

Myke strides joltingly down the steep incline and onto the beach.

Mavalgnus strides joltingly down the steep incline and onto the beach.

Myke traces a simple symbol as he reverently calls upon the power of his patron...
Myke gestures.
Myke appears filled with a confident and fearless composure.

Mavalgnus joins Sarise's group.

Myke joins Sarise's group.

Sarise glances around the area.

Myke traces a simple symbol as he reverently calls upon the power of his patron...
Myke gestures.
Myke's eyes narrow briefly, focusing on something unseen.

Sarise asks, "See? Isn't it a lovely spot?"

Myke traces a simple symbol as he reverently calls upon the power of his patron...
Myke gestures.
Blue energy surrounds Myke, dancing off his body without harm.

Myke traces a simple symbol as he reverently calls upon the power of his patron...

Myke gestures at Sarise.
Rippling cylinders of spiritual force encompass Sarise's arms and the arms of those near her.

You feel a subdued warmth through your arms and torso, accompanied by a preponderant sense of engagement.

Myke traces a simple symbol as he reverently calls upon the power of his patron...

Myke gestures at Sarise.
As Myke thrusts his heavy steel kaskara toward the heavens, a soft bright white pulse of pure spiritual energy rises from its apex, washing over Sarise and those nearby.

Memories of thousands of past battles momentarily occupy your thoughts, depicting the execution of perfect formations with a single Paladin leading the way.

Myke rises to the forefront, aiding in your defense.

Myke traces a simple symbol as he reverently calls upon the power of his patron...

Mavalgnus says, "Well, if I die here, I'll be surrounded by... sand."

Myke gestures.
Myke's skin takes on a more crimson hue.

A one-eyed black crow hops on your shoulder, ruffling its feathers quickly before settling down.

Mavalgnus says, "That's nice."

You grin.

[Teras Isle, Beach]
Dim moonlight bathes the beach in its glow, causing portions of the beach to shimmer like a masterfully cut gem. The gentle, rhythmic breaking of waves against rock can be heard coming from the sea. You also see a steep incline leading up to the cove.
Also here: Mavalgnus, Lord Myke, Erkaya, Sarise
Obvious paths: none

Speaking to Mavalgnus, Sarise says, "If you should perish, I'll be sure to give you a watery sendoff."

Sarise flashes a quick grin.

Myke deeply says, "If you die here, I get to keep that sword.. it's remote enough that I'm sure we could hide the body where they'd never find it."

Myke hums a seemingly random tune.

Sarise laughs!

Sarise surveys the area.

Sarise glances at Erkaya.

Erkaya slowly empties his lungs.

Speaking to Erkaya, Sarise asks, "Are you ready?"

Erkaya tilts his head down.

Erkaya nods.

Also here: Mavalgnus, Lord Myke, Erkaya, Sarise
Obvious paths: none

You glance around the area.

Sarise nods.

Sarise says, "Alright. This should work."

Speaking dubiously to herself, Sarise says, "Really. Should work."

Erkaya says, "It will work."

Erkaya says, "Remember... confidence."

Sarise takes a deep breath.

Sarise slowly empties her lungs.

Sarise nods.

Mavalgnus says, "And the not killing us part."

Mavalgnus says, "Remember that too."

Sarise glances at Mavalgnus.

Sarise begins to twitch.

Sarise raises both hands and begins a low chant.

Sarise closes her eyes for a moment.

A misty haze begins to form around Sarise, growing denser around her raised hands.

Sarise's musical chant rises in pitch, each syllable dripping liquidly from her tongue.

Erkaya strides a few steps forward.

Streamers of silvery fog stream out from Sarise's fingers and swirl over the shallows, spiraling into a loose column of watery tendrils.

Erkaya murmurs in a low tone and gestures subtly, his words joining Sarise's song with a scattered green glow.

You glance around the area.

The green energy solidifies, embracing the watery tendrils with a solid aura.

Your eyes glaze over as you stare, unfocused, into the distance.

Sarise stretches her arms wide, her brow furrowing deeply as her chant quickens and becomes turbulent.

You see Mavalgnus the Fire Mage.
He appears to be a Dark Elf.
He appears to be aged and average height. He has narrowed ashen eyes and dusky skin. He has chin-length, slicked midnight black hair sheened with veins of scarlet. He has a single, ragged bright crimson welt branded across the side of his right temple.
He is in good shape.
He is holding an ebon-hilted coraesine katana bled through with sinuous waves of luminous scarlet in his right hand.
He is wearing a gold-threaded deep crimson hood, a golden amulet imbedded with a single hexagonal ruby, a rippled velvet scarlet longcoat swept with fiery golden patterns across the angular lapels, a pair of crossed leather back-sheaths, a series of lustrous golden rings traced with fiery crimson sigils, a pair of hemmed scarlet velvet pants cuffed with pale gold threading, and a pair of shined black leather boots wrought with rippled patterns of eahnor.

The surface of the water roils and churns within the confines of the column.

Slowly, the water begins to spin and creep upward within the column.

You tilt your head up.

Sarise tenses up, beads of sweat glistening on her brow.

Sarise's chant grows ragged and halting, her voice faltering between liquid tones and the harsher intonations of the summoning.

Erkaya glances with concern at Sarise.

The spinning water within the column suddenly surges upward with terrific force, shattering the columnar cage that contained it!

Mavalgnus gets a blank look on his face.

A massive waterspout bursts into being just off the shore of the Fhorian Village!

Erkaya moves into a defensive stance, ready to fend off an attack.

You glance around the area.

Erkaya says, "Take heed..."

You pull a steel hoolurge gracefully from your sling.

You pull a steel hoolurge gracefully from your sling.

Myke deeply says, "So, that giant column of water is a bad thing then, eh."

Myke mutters wonderful.

Sarise shudders.

The sky begins to fill with huge clouds, dark and grey on the bottom, pale and white atop, their puffy crowns ascending towards the heavens.

The sky begins to fill with huge clouds, dark and grey on the bottom, pale and white atop, their puffy crowns ascending towards the heavens.

You gaze up into the heavens.

You glance at Sarise.

The raging waterspout stretches up to touch the clouds, churning violently and soaking the environs in salty rain.

You glance around the area.

Erkaya frowns.

Mavalgnus says, "Focus on the damned flows, woman."

Ruffling its feathers, a one-eyed black crow sings a few twittering notes on your shoulder before falling silent.

Mavalgnus says, "You can do this."

Erkaya tilts his head up.

Obvious paths: none

Erkaya narrows his eyes.

A heavy drizzle trickles down from the grey skies.

Sarise's eyes fly open and her mouth forms a startled o-shape.

Sarise's eyes roll up in their sockets and she slumps to the ground in a dead faint.

You blink.

You stare at Sarise.

Mavalgnus says, "...well, maybe not."

Erkaya strides over to stand before Sarise.

Erkaya kneels down.

Myke moves to stand in front of Sarise.

Roaring wind rushes past you, forcing the pelting rain to sting your skin.

A heavy drizzle trickles down from the grey skies.

You inquire, "Is there... Is there something I can get, from town?"

Myke deeply says, "Need to think.."

Myke slips a nicked heavy steel kaskara with deep ivory runes inlaid along a glassy obsidian pommel underneath his trailing desert shroud.

Mavalgnus says, "There's... something building..."

Mavalgnus furrows his brow.

Erkaya says, "No... she has collapsed under the massive elemental power. More time must pass for her to recover."

Erkaya cocks his head.

You breathe very slowly and deliberately, calming yourself.

You push the hood of your shadowy grey cloak back and let it fall across your shoulders.

[Teras Isle, Beach]
Dim moonlight bathes the beach in its glow, causing portions of the beach to shimmer like a masterfully cut gem. The gentle, rhythmic breaking of waves against rock can be heard coming from the sea. You also see a steep incline leading up to the cove.
Also here: Mavalgnus, Lord Myke, Erkaya who is kneeling, Sarise who is lying down
Obvious paths: none

You see Erkaya Latgoran the Elementalist.
He appears to be an Erithian of the Surath Dai.
He appears to be in his golden years and average height. He has almond-shaped sea green eyes and pallid skin. He has thinning, silver blonde hair. He has a bony face, a thin nose and frown lines.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a light brown faewood runestaff wrapped with strips of golden leather in his right hand.
He is wearing a short beige silk robe trimmed with bands of sea green embroidery about the hem and cuffs, a pale yellow brushed leather vest, a long black silk sash, a folded golden silk pouch, a pair of loose tan silk breeches, some ivory silk stockings, and a pair of polished wooden sandals.

You see Sarise Keshrika the Loresinger.
She appears to be a Human from Selanthia.
She appears to be in the spring of life and taller than average. She has long-lashed chocolate brown eyes and dusky skin. She has chin length, wavy dark brown hair decorated with several short strands of garnet beads. She has a small nose and high cheekbones.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a crystal amulet, a heavy bleached canvas musette with a long leather strap, a faded tan leather jacket, a loose ivory linen blouse, a long split skirt of dark green leather, and a tall pair of buttoned black leather boots.

Myke deeply says, "We need to handle that elemental causing the rain.."

You glance at Myke.

You nod.

Mavalgnus says, "That's... not..."

Sarise's prone form twitches and spasms.

You turn around.

The heavy rainfall makes it difficult to see more than just a few feet ahead.

A sudden gust blows the rain at you in a stinging attack.

(Dhask wipes his face.)

You tilt your head up.

Myke deeply says, "Alright, not.. 'rain'.."

Roaring wind rushes past you, forcing the pelting rain to sting your skin.

Roaring wind rushes past you, forcing the pelting rain to sting your skin.

Myke deeply says, "Point being, we need that things help, and we've got no means by which to make it help."

You close your shadowy grey cloak with a flourish, causing its hem to swirl about your ankles.

Myke deeply asks, "So how can we.. petition.. for help?"

A spear of lightning splits the heavens, followed by a tremendous rumble of thunder.

Erkaya flinches as he stumbles back slightly.

Erkaya stands up.

Myke slowly empties his lungs.

Mavalgnus asks, "...what IS that?"

Myke kneels down and begins to recite prayers.

Mavalgnus asks, "Do you feel it too?"

You stare at a steep incline leading up to the cove.

Mavalgnus glances at Erkaya.

Erkaya says, "I... am not sure what it is."

Myke deeply says, "A lightning elemental.."

A blinding flash of lightning is quickly followed by a low rumble of thunder.

Erkaya says, "We may have taken on more than planned..."

You pull the hood of your shadowy grey cloak up over your head and settle its folds around your face.

Myke deeply says, "Then we need to get the elementals attention. I have an idea."

Sarise's back arches and a fearsome grimace contorts her face. Then, just as suddenly, her body goes slack.

Erkaya cocks his head at Sarise.

Mavalgnus says, "It's... not, what the..."

The raging waterspout abruptly collapses in on itself with a deafening roar of falling water.

You stare at Sarise.

Mavalgnus stares out at the sea.

The sea churns and boils in the wake of the waterspout's collapse, spinning itself into a swirling whirlpool.

The heavy rainfall makes it difficult to see more than just a few feet ahead.

Sheets of heavy rain drown you in an unrelenting curtain of water.

Myke stands up.

Erkaya says, "Stand fast."

[Teras Isle, Beach]
Dim moonlight bathes the beach in its glow, causing portions of the beach to shimmer like a masterfully cut gem. The gentle, rhythmic breaking of waves against rock can be heard coming from the sea. You also see a steep incline leading up to the cove and a rapidly swirling whirlpool.
Also here: Mavalgnus, Lord Myke, Erkaya, Sarise who is lying down
Obvious paths: none

You pull a steel hoolurge gracefully from your sling.

You pull a steel hoolurge gracefully from your sling.

Mavalgnus says, "Something's coming."

You glance at a rapidly swirling whirlpool.

A heavy drizzle trickles down from the grey skies.

Myke strides a few steps forward.

Myke yells, "Enemies of Avregol, your aid is sought."

A humanoid watery figure rises from the depths and steps on the shore lightly.

(Myke screams out over the water.)

You also see a humanoid watery figure, a steep incline leading up to the cove and a rapidly swirling whirlpool.
Also here: Mavalgnus, Lord Myke, Erkaya, Sarise who is lying down
Obvious paths: none

You glance at a humanoid watery figure.

Myke bows to a humanoid watery figure.

The watery figure is large in size.
The figure could probably wipe the floor with you.

Erkaya furrows his brow.

A sudden gust blows the rain at you in a stinging attack.

A sudden gust blows the rain at you in a stinging attack.

Myke slings a vultite greatshield over his shoulder.

Erkaya leans back.

Mavalgnus gets a blank look on his face.

You take a few steps back.

The figure is comprised entirely of water, its aqueous form bound to a vaguely humanoid shape -- though its utterly smooth, featureless face ripples occasionally with a pale glow. Dancing within the confines of its shimmering body are spectral wisps of ghostly blue hue, each whorling in an ethereal, slow orbit around a central core of bright cerulean light within the center of the creature's chest -- each rhythmic pulse it gives off releasing a palpable hum of immense power.

A humanoid watery figure gazes around the assembled.

You feel fully energetic again.

You begin to lose touch with your internal sources of strength.

A humanoid watery figure glances out to the whirlpool, and then to Sarise.

The steel hoolurge dissolves into vapor.

The steel hoolurge dissolves into vapor.

(Myke holds his ground, the knitting of his brows mostly concealed by the blindfold.)

A blinding flash of lightning is quickly followed by a low rumble of thunder.

A humanoid watery figure says, "It would appear what has been done long ago has been undone."

Your face goes blank.

Erkaya quietly remarks, "Could it be..."

A blinding flash of lightning is quickly followed by a low rumble of thunder.

The heavy rainfall makes it difficult to see more than just a few feet ahead.

Mavalgnus takes a few steps back and mutters to himself.

A humanoid watery figure says, "I am the one your kind calls Nelemar."

Erkaya flinches.

Myke nods to a humanoid watery figure in greeting.

Erkaya hesitantly asks, "What, exactly... has been undone?"

The sky is full of rain-sodden clouds.

A sudden gust blows the rain at you in a stinging attack.

Myke deeply says, "I am Myke Naii'Mos, knight of Voln."

A humanoid watery figure tilts its head towards the whirlpool and a sparkle of light twirls within its depths.

Erkaya glances askance toward the whirlpool.

Roaring wind rushes past you, forcing the pelting rain to sting your skin.

You say, "And I am Dhask, treasure hunter extraordinaire."

The heavy rainfall makes it difficult to see more than just a few feet ahead.

A humanoid watery figure says, "That which I pulled beneath the waves many years ago is once again revealed. I suppose it was destined to return from where it was first built."

Erkaya furrows his brow.

Myke deeply says, "The Fier'Dracus is shattered."

Talanvor strides joltingly down the steep incline and onto the beach.

Your SIGN OF SMITING is no longer effective.

Speaking to a humanoid watery figure, you ask, "The...spire?"

Talanvor joins Sarise's group.

Myke deeply says, "Those of the flame spoke of it, as if it were in many pieces."

The sky is full of rain-sodden clouds.

A heavy drizzle trickles down from the grey skies.

A humanoid watery figure says, "No. That threat is passed, for now. But what you have uncovered is a relic of its past."

Erkaya slowly says, "The temple..."

A humanoid watery figure looks over towards Erkaya and nods.

Myke deeply says, "The temple, itself."

Sarise stirs, eyelids fluttering.

The surroundings are blurred with a downpour of obscuring rain.

A sudden gust blows the rain at you in a stinging attack.

A humanoid watery figure says, "The gem has been found out by many over its long history."

A humanoid watery figure says, "Those who resided in the temple, those whom built it in honor of myself, were one of those few to find it."

Erkaya nods slowly, taking in every word of the watery figure before him.

Jaired strides joltingly down the steep incline and onto the beach.

Lylonna strides joltingly down the steep incline and onto the beach.

A dolorous bog spirit floats in, following Lylonna.

Jaired glances around the area.

Speaking to himself, Erkaya says, "Fascinating..."

Jaired pulls the hood of his shroud down over his face, concealing his features.

Talanvor steeples his fingers together, quietly observing his surroundings.

A humanoid watery figure says, "Unfortunately, those of flame also found it, and in their outrage, burned the inhabitants and the temple to cinders."

A sudden gust blows the rain at you in a stinging attack.

Jaired manages to clamber up the steep incline, digging into the sliding sand with some effort.

You do not feel drained anymore.

Erkaya says, "That is what we saw, in the shards."

Jaired strides joltingly down the steep incline and onto the beach.

Jaired removes a hand-carved hoarbeam staff crowned with a ring of jagged black horn from in his leather harness.

Jaired leans on his staff, taking a momentary rest.

The dully illuminated mantle protecting Myke begins to falter, then completely fades away.

Myke deeply asks, "Then, Nelemar, what is left within the Temple?"

Myke peers quizzically at a humanoid watery figure.

[Teras Isle, Beach]
Dim moonlight bathes the beach in its glow, causing portions of the beach to shimmer like a masterfully cut gem. The gentle, rhythmic breaking of waves against rock can be heard coming from the sea. You also see a dolorous bog spirit that is flying around, the Talanvor disk, a humanoid watery figure, a steep incline leading up to the cove and a rapidly swirling whirlpool.
Also here: Jaired, Lylonna, Lord Talanvor, Mavalgnus, Lord Myke, Erkaya, Sarise who is lying down
Obvious paths: none

Myke appears less confident and fearless.

Myke seems to lose some focus as his eyes narrow and shift momentarily to one side.

Myke loses the flickering blue energy surrounding him.

Roaring wind rushes past you, forcing the pelting rain to sting your skin.

You feel at full magical power again.

A crimson mist bleeds out from Myke's exposed skin.

A humanoid watery figure says, "I had grown somewhat fond of those there, those who tended to my children and those of the water. It was sunk beneath the waves so that it might lay with those whom its builders cared so much for."

There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the pendant worn by Jaired.

Sarise's eyelids flicker open and she sneezes abruptly.

A humanoid watery figure says, "What is left are the ruins of what once was, and that which still remains."

The heavy rainfall makes it difficult to see more than just a few feet ahead.

A sudden gust blows the rain at you in a stinging attack.

Sarise mumbles, "Oh, lords and ladies, what a headache..."

Sarise sits up.

Erkaya cocks his head at Sarise.

Jaired dryly says, "...deep."

(Myke moves into the water, up to his knees, gazing at the whirlpool.)

Speaking to Sarise, Erkaya says, "We have a... guest."

Sarise clutches her head with both hands.

Sarise tilts her head up.

Sarise blinks at Erkaya.

Myke deeply says, "And what still remains.."

Sarise blinks at a humanoid watery figure.

Jaired put a razor-sharp vultite tanto in his leather harness.

Sarise weakly says, "Oh..."

A humanoid watery figure says, "And what remains are... those who were tended to by the former builders. That, and a gateway that leads more of my children into this world."

Jaired leans on his staff, taking a momentary rest.

(Myke glances back over his shoulder at Nelemar, raising an eyebrow though the blindfold conceals his gaze.)

Erkaya slowly mouths, "Ne-le-mar." over to Sarise.

The surroundings are blurred with a downpour of obscuring rain.

Sheets of heavy rain drown you in an unrelenting curtain of water.

Jaired squints at a humanoid watery figure.

Myke deeply says, "I see."

Sarise's face turns slightly pale.

Mavalgnus just sort of stares blankly.

Speaking to a humanoid watery figure, Jaired asks, "Are these children something we need to be worried about?"

Sarise stares at a humanoid watery figure.

A humanoid watery figure says, "And those who are attracted to such power."

Myke deeply says, "Naturally."

A heavy drizzle trickles down from the grey skies.

A humanoid watery figure says, "What lies beneath the whirlpool is my realm. My realm has never been kind to those who breathe air. That is simply the way of things."

Jaired nods to the watery figure.

There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the pendant worn by Jaired.

Jaired glances at a rapidly swirling whirlpool.

A humanoid watery figure says, "Nor can I account for the temperament of my children."

A humanoid watery figure says, "Even now, the disturbance caused by you..."

Erkaya nods in acknowledgment.

A sudden gust blows the rain at you in a stinging attack.

The surroundings are blurred with a downpour of obscuring rain.

Jaired asks, "...so provided one has the means to do so, they are free to explore?"

Sarise squeezes her eyes tightly shut and flinches.

A humanoid watery figure flickers its gaze across the assembled.

Talanvor asks, "Has the act of submerging the temple cleansed it or is it still scarred and haunted by the fires..?"

A humanoid watery figure says, "Is causing the flows to reassemble themselves."

Jaired put a hand-carved hoarbeam staff crowned with a ring of jagged black horn in his leather harness.

Jaired glances around the area.

Jaired tries to tinker with his brace.

A humanoid watery figure says, "It is not haunted, it has become a nexus of elemental power after all these years. And my children find it pleasing to dwell there."

The heavy rainfall makes it difficult to see more than just a few feet ahead.

The heavy rainfall makes it difficult to see more than just a few feet ahead.

A humanoid watery figure says, "You are free to wander..."

A humanoid watery figure says, "But remember my words."

Myke raises an eyebrow.

Erkaya nods to the watery figure.

Jaired removes a short-hafted dark vultite handaxe from in his leather harness.

Talanvor bows to a humanoid watery figure.

You glance at Jaired.

Jaired glances at a rapidly swirling whirlpool.

A humanoid watery figure says, "I shall leave you now, what is done shall not be undone."

(Myke moves further into water.)

A heavy drizzle trickles down from the grey skies.

Sarise shudders.

Myke deeply says, "Nelemar.."

Sarise tilts her head down.

Jaired gestures while calling upon the lesser spirits for aid...

Jaired gestures.
A misty halo surrounds Jaired.

Erkaya tilts his head down.

The dull golden nimbus fades from around Lylonna.

There is a faint beating from the troll heart inside the pendant worn by Jaired.

Myke deeply says, "It was an honor to meet you, your name preceeded you by a large bit."

Lylonna gazes in wonder at her surroundings.

Talanvor says, "Aye, indeed it did."

The heavy rainfall makes it difficult to see more than just a few feet ahead.

A humanoid watery figure steps off the beach and into the water, then seemingly distintegrates into nothing - as if it were only a small extension of the sea itself.

[Daniel]

so how bad does the place pwn

[Nilandia]

Didn't know you played Plat, Tsin. ;)

Gretchen

[Doyle Hargraves]

What level are the critters supposed to be?

[crb]

Well shit, I was hoping I could can my swimming ranks if I liked that teras area. But I guess it is a trend, the rift and OTF both require swimming after all.

[The Ponzzz]

He stole my mother fucking log!

[Liberi Fatali]

He stole my mother fucking log!

Rectify the situation by posting ACTUAL logs of the ACTUAL creatures -- not the willy-nilly wissy-tailed crap that happened before. We want to see the creatures. Post.

[The Ponzzz]

Well I'm only level 32 in Plat.

I can give ya a clip....

[The Ponzzz]

Poof!

[Merzbow]

Well that's kinda pathetic. It took them so long to code up a bunch of Shelfae clones?

[The Ponzzz]

From my understanding, the area is awesome, and incredibly tough.

[Danical]

Looks like the tritons are like shan.

[Makkah]

I'd say the shelfae is more accurate.

[AestheticDeath]

Whyd you delete the small snippet you posted?

[The Ponzzz]

Was told to.

[The Ponzzz]

Due to Tabor on PsiNet being a giant cockhead.

[bubbauno]

A triton combatant thrusts with a razor-tined pale green trident at you! AS: +424 vs DS: +531 with AvD: +24 + d100 roll: +37 = -46

A triton executioner leaps from hiding to attack!
A triton executioner swings a sharply curved black handaxe at you!

A spectral triton defender thrusts with a tarnished dark silver harpoon at you!

The one fear from those that are going there is the NO PREP TIME DCs with a 460 CS.

[AestheticDeath]

-> Confused again.
Was it someone elses log they didnt want posted?
Or was it a mod from here, or GM from game?

Not sure whats wrong with something being posted like that

[Danical]

I'd say the shelfae is more accurate.

Never hunted shelfae, so I have no idea. :(

I was just going off what looks like rogue and warrior builds.

[The Ponzzz]

And those proves, Mike is the biggest cocksucker here!

[Liberi Fatali]

Due to Tabor on PsiNet being a giant cockhead.

What are you on about? Who was I being a giant cockhead to on PSInet?

And WHO told you to remove the log?

[The Ponzzz]

Saying the log was not legit caused people to get pissed in plat. But no matter, Tsin can break people's wishes...

[Liberi Fatali]

Saying the log was not legit caused people to get pissed in plat. But no matter, Tsin can break people's wishes...

Ugh...

True or false.

The log you posted was the worst log I have ever seen posted on the PC.

Answer: True.

It showed the AS/DS of ONE creature. It was crude, like. It was NOT a good log. Who cares if the details get leaked from Plat? What the fuck is the big deal?

Dear Platinum Players,

Fuck you.

Very Respectfully, Your Obedient Servant,

Tabor.

[Danical]

It showed the AS/DS of ONE creature. It was crude, like. It was NOT a good log.

I don't see any other source out there. At least it's something.

[The Ponzzz]

It was not a LOG of the hunting area, it was a log to those that missed the storyline, first of all. Secondly, I was asked by a GM NOT to post the log, which Mike stole from the Plat BBS. And lastly I don't give a fuck what you think.

[Zanagodly]

haha whats up Tabor

[Liberi Fatali]

It was not a LOG of the hunting area, it was a log to those that missed the storyline, first of all. Secondly, I was asked by a GM NOT to post the log, which Mike stole from the Plat BBS. And lastly I don't give a fuck what you think.

No, you wiss-hog, you were asked on the OFFICIAL FORUMS to not post the log. Does this look OFFICIAL to you?

Touche on "not giving a fuck what I think". If you're going to be a pussy willow, don't post. There are plenty others who are perfectly willing to share information from the SUPER TOP SECRET PLATINUM game, such as:

[OOC]-Ponzisawillow: "the elemental dispel with no prep sucks also..took 401,406,414, 503, 509, 425 and 430 in one fell swoop, just like the empathatic dispel, no warding"

[OOC]-Ponzisawillow: "besides the elemental dispel and no prep fucking a DC, its not so bad...creatures seem to feint alot, and theres a couple of different maneuver attacks, one where they dunk you under water"

[OOC]-Ponzisawillow: "word to the wise...DO NOT USE LIGHTNING"

[OOC]-Ponzisawillow: "chat snipe from the shadows also...its all under water"

[OOC]-Ponzisawillow: "if you die on the swim..and its possible, the tides push you out to the beach in sand devils..i only had 30 also"

[OOC]-Ponzisawillow: "the shit is pretty perceptive too..those 460 dcers are uncorpereal undead"

[OOC]-Ponzisawillow: "paladins toss out that 1114 alot also, cast at like 405"

[OOC]-Ponzisawillow: "the sorc tritons have cloak of shadows on that cast disentigrate at you if you dont kill em but just hit em"

[Liberi Fatali]

haha whats up Tabor

Hey, Mike. LONG TIME NO SEE, SIR. Are you returning to Gemstone yet?! :(

[Danical]

elemental dispel . . . fuuuuuuuck.

[The Ponzzz]

Yer mature Tabor. Got the fucking mentality of a 7 year old.

Dear Platinum Players,

Fuck you.

Very Respectfully, Your Obedient Servant,

Tabor.


Hey, Tabor. Suck a dick. The log Mario had came from something the only person able to get into the Temple posted into a chatroom, when it was happening. A ton of us were there, only one person could make his way in at the time. The log was real, and if Jaired (the person able to get in) gave a shit about Prime or had an account to post here, he'd confirm all of that, and probly post more. Instead of being a little bitch and flaming Mario and all of Plat, over what you think is a fake log, here's a novel concept for you:

Shut the fuck up for 1 or 2 days, however long it takes to get the Ruined Temple released in Prime, then watch the proof roll in as people get to go in for themselves. You look like a cock, bitching over what will be proven true in a very short amount of time.

That's all legit, and the fact you're that worked up over the idea it could be fake (as if that even matters, like the capped people in Prime won't see, and confirm it, soon enough), makes you the biggest fucking nerd on these boards.

And at least Mario was posting what little we were able to hear in the chat, Jaired was so excited over how cool the area is that we were having trouble getting info out of him. The depth of the area and abilities or the creatures are pretty crazy, as now two more people have been able to go in and explore, attesting to the sheer brutality of the area.

So for everyone eager for info on the new area, I'll post more of what I've heard, and for Tabor, 'suck it, cock-ass'. You were wrong about the log, and pwned.

P.S. It's not a super top secret leak into Plat if it's OFFICIALLY RELEASED GAME CONTENT, you retard. Hard to leak what anyone able to swim down into the Temple can see, and interact with. It's not a leak, we just got the area before you did. GM's probly just wanted to see people get excited over the area and not hear idiots like you bitching about it, the rest of the capped players bitching that it's too hard, or Nodyre crying because his mutant character-builds aren't viable and how the game should be re-designed to make his ideas workable.

I hope the GM's release it in Prime soon. Mario was trying to be cool and let people in on what we'd seen so far, and you people gotta be dicks about it.

Yer mature Tabor. Got the fucking mentality of a 7 year old.

lol @ yer


...Idiotic spiel.

Hoity-toity, sir. All that text for ME? Impressive, indeed. I said the log LOOKED FAKE because it lacked CONTENT. I could have wrote an equally unimpressive log that would have shined and demonstrated more than the one that was provided. I didn't argue that the creatures and the such were FAKE. Nice assumption, though. I hate how you platinum people think you reign supreme over everyone else.

HEY, LOOK AT ME, I CAN FIND BOXFOUND ITEMS WITH EASE.

HEY, LOOK AT ME, I CAN GET EVENTS BEFORE PRIME AND NOT SHARE INFORMATION.

HEY, LOOK AT ME, I PAY WAY TOO MUCH MONEY TO PLAY A GAME ON THE COMPUTER.

Oh.

You're right, though. I lose.

[Zanagodly]

Hey, Mike. LONG TIME NO SEE, SIR. Are you returning to Gemstone yet?! :(

I'm back man. I been playing plat for a few years now!

[The Ponzzz]

I could have wrote an equally unimpressive log that would have shined and demonstrated more than the one that was provided.


So because that's what really happened and no magical fucking unicorns blew out of the ass of Tsin, it was unimpressive? You really are a moron.

And 1 account in plat still doesn't compare to having three premium accounts.

And Like I said, the info was asked to not be released by a GM. Your beef is with them, not me.

[GoingGone]

I like the fact that people like you assume that's how Plat people think. It's just me, and the fact that I think you're a retard for bitching over the log. Something is better than nothing, be grateful and shut the fuck up. And for the record, you were telling people on Psinet, that [OOC]-Jenovadeath: "And he doesn't even hunt there, so I wouldn't believe it yet."

Yeah, guess you gotta hunt there to read the log from someone who IS hunting there, cutting and pasting in the small number of characters an AIM Chatrooms limits you too. Dumbass.

HEY, LOOK AT ME, I CAN GET EVENTS BEFORE PRIME AND NOT SHARE INFORMATION.

Why share info with you? This kinda shit happens when we do. It's fake! It's a doctored log! They're lying for personal gain!

Either take the logs we give you and shut the fuck up, or don't bitch about not getting any, jackass. This had nothing to do with Plat people vs Prime people, it had everything to do with you being a little pussy on the boards spouting off cries of "fake log!" over shit that'll be confirmed in a day or two anyhow.

Next time try this:
1) Don't bother posting on the credibility of logs.
2) Wait for the info to be released.
3) Call yourself a fucking retard, and save me the time.

You do lose, and apparently I win because I can find boxfound items, get events and not share info, and pay 10 bucks more than a regular premium account.

The folow statement does not reflect Plat mentality, but my own: It must suck to have to worry about the price of what you find fun, not my fault you can't get a decent job. I used to drop 50 bucks on video games a couple times a month, now I just play Plat, and it's only 10 bucks more than a premium account anyhow, your logic is fucked. If you want to insult me, take a swipe at me personally, not Plat. Bitching about Plat's prices like I give a shit just makes you sound like some broke-ass who's jealous.

Can't afford 10 more bucks a month Tabor? Ask your manager for a promotion and maybe he'll bump you up to Fry Cook rr let you work an extra shift at the window.


And back to the original point, you're the nerd getting worked up over what you thought was a faked log, which in itself was of no consequence, I'd worry less about what people pay for the game per month, and more about how you clearly invest too much time into it. Money is easy to come by for some people, it's far more sad that you're this emotionally invested in it, that a fake log gets you worked up.

Go outside and do something, a tan and some muscle-toning might give you the confidence to ask your boss for that Fry Cook promotion you've been chasing. Maybe you'll earn an extra 10 bucks a month, but I doubt it.

[Liberi Fatali]

....

Hahaha.

Hahahahaha.

Oh, bollocks. I can't even breathe. How many vulgar words did you use in that previous post? I lost count after ten. Vulgarity is not a sin against God, but against polite society. Between you and me, I don't give a shit about polite society -- but you went a bit overboard.

What is this rubbish about premium accounts? I have ONE account that I pay for, and I am a PRIME member. I have never been premium, ever. Ergo, you pay a boatload more money than I do.

You took a shot at my current profession? Haa, that's admirable. For the record, I do not work at a fast food place -- I am an aspiring surgeon, currently attending 2nd year Medical School at the University College Dublin in Ireland. Nice try, though!

I've never seen ANYONE get so worked about something so insignificant.

[The Ponzzz]

Vulgarity is not a sin against God, but against polite society.


"[OOC]-Jenovadeath: "WHAT A FUCKING *edited*"

We know you don't belong to one...



What is this rubbish about premium accounts? I have ONE account that I pay for, and I am a PRIME member. I have never been premium, ever. Ergo, you pay a boatload more money than I do.


Was directed at you. But 10 bucks isn't a boat load...

[Doughboy]

Rhett was the fry cook I thought....Or at least was...

[Liberi Fatali]

Was directed at you. But 10 bucks isn't a boat load...

Can you not read or do simple math? How does one PRIME account equal you only paying $10 more than me? Please, elaborate with pristine clarity so that I may comprehend your illogical thought process.

[GoingGone]

Never saw anyone get so worked up over something so insignificant? From the guy who bitched on these boards, and PsiNet, over a tiny little log? LOL

And the fact I swear alot means.. well, jack-shit. And yes, I used a swear in that.. Oh noes! Nawtee Wurds! LOL.. Hey, how about you make a worthwhile reply rather than crying over the fact you gotta work as a fry cook to pay for medical school. For someone who thinks himself so smart, you've got the broken logic of an autistic kid. The whole topic surrounding the log had nothing to do with the cost of the game, what account you've got, how much I swear, or anything.

It was the fact that you cry over a fake log, that isn't even fake, and then continue to do so on PsiNet. You're a loser, and it's funny.

Back off Mario's case, just because you're a skeptic and can't wait a day or so to see wether he's right or not. Shouldn't you be studying or something important and related to your 'aspirations', rather than investing so much time and emotion into a computer game? I'm sure the other fry cooks.. erm.. I mean 'aspiring surgeons', need another study-buddy.

Gasp! Only a few swears! You might have to make a real reply instead of letting that thin-skin and fragile ego of yours get broken over what the mean man had to say.

LOL.

Oh, and instead of replying to this, see step 3 of my previous post.

[GoingGone]

Take it easy, Dr. Fry-Cook. You've got a code blue in fake logs, and some crying on PsiNet is needed, Stat.

[Latrinsorm]

lol @ plat

I hope Stun starts to rub off on you guys.

[AestheticDeath]

You guys musta hated each other well before this incident or something - take it easy guys.

[The Ponzzz]

Can you not read or do simple math? How does one PRIME account equal you only paying $10 more than me? Please, elaborate with pristine clarity so that I may comprehend your illogical thought process.


Ten bucks more a month is not a boat load, So perhaps thats where the problem stems from...

And it wasn't directed at you the player having more than 1 account. Fuck.

[Liberi Fatali]

....

Wow. Did someone switch your ritalin with ephedrine? Don't take your real life problems out on me.

Your fits of hyperactive behaviour makes me ponder if you have ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency. Oh, need me to write that one down? Good, because it takes a while.

What's with the job insulting? I don't have a job. I work in the Summer at a factory making break drums/hubs/wheels for semi-trucks. It pays $15.75 an hour, time and a half on Saturday, and double on Sunday. That's right, I make over $30.00 on a Sunday. My fingers bleed in the factory to pay for my college while you leech off your mum. I envy you.


You guys musta hated each other well before this incident or something - take it easy guys.

There's an evolutionary imperative why we give a crap about our family and friends. And there's an evolutionary imperative why we don't give a crap about anybody else. If we loved all people indiscriminately, we couldn't function. I actually do not know either of these people. I've seen Ponzz post on the officials, but I've never spoken with him. Apparently it's an honour thing that you can't insult Platinum players or they swarm on you like a group of honey bees responding to the isoamylacetate pheromone.

[Makkah]

I haven't been a fried chicken chain worker in like 10 years.

[Stretch]

Play nice kids.

Back on topic...

...I'm heading to Teras with the hopes of this place opening tonight. Someone was kind enough to provide some extra background information on PsiNet, and it looks like it's going to be a difficult place like stone valley used to be. Looking forward to it; I'm going to quit if I have to hunt in OTF for much longer.

[GoingGone]

Enjoy people like Tabor, and the other idiots who view it as Plat vs Prime everytime the other instance gets something they're jealous of. I play both, there isn't one that's remotely 'in the lead' as far as.. anything.

My prime characters tucked away in Vaalor, and I *STILL* deal with at least one idiot poacher or jackass blatantly speaking OOC, daily. I *never* see that in Plat. For someone who values consistancy with that sort of thing, Plat's great. The reason I play Prime still? The crowds, Plat's number are way too low to support certain kinds of character's RP. Some people couldn't stand that. I play whichever I'm feeling like, and it isn't the "war" between instances people seem to think.

For once I'd like to see a complaint about Plat that isn't based in getting something. Pay more, and get more? Fuck that! Boys, get the torches! They're trying to make sense again! For all people bitch about Plat's price, I don't see people bitching just as much about the people who pay real cash for Prime items. It's way more direct than Plat is about 'more for money', for the people who want to bash folks who pay more.

The only difference between Plat and Prime, is the number of people logged in at a given time, and some mechanics. Let that conflict die already, it's not a hard concept, if you have cash to burn, or if that's just what you choose to spend your cahs on, Play Plat. If you can't afford it, don't see the point, or want biggers crowds, Don't play Plat. Quit worrying so fucking much about what the player's of the other instance do with their money. I like my Plat characters, and 50 bucks a month is nothing to me. I'm sorry, I'm not saying I'm made of money, but 50 bucks is nothing. I spent more than that on video games before the newer generations of systems started sucking so much. To say something's too expensive, is purely objective. Who gives a shit. When stuff gets released first in one, and not the other, be excited you get to see how shit is going to go down, without the stress of stumbling through it yourself. If you don't want to know, don't read the logs. It's not rocket science, and it's definately nothing to bitch about as much as Tabor has/is.

Myke
Player of Prime, and Plat.
And not affected remotely by the cost of both.

[Danical]

I'm really excited about this place but elemental dispel from a 105 creature will probably wipe out my entire spellset (401, 405, 414, 425, 430, 1003, 1006, 1009, 1010, 1014, 1018, 1019).

No armor, no shield and no spells . . . super.

[Makkah]

I didn't think the mass elemental shit from the Bowels took down bard songs.

[GoingGone]

And it wasn't a "Plat" swarming thing. Mario's a friend, and you're a dick. So I stepped up for him, because he's more polite than me, and I don't really care what you think of me after I tell you what a jackass you are. It's words on a screen, I really don't mind making an enemy of a dude I'll never meet. Doesn't really put the fear of God in me, sorry.

As far as the actual area goes, all that bullshit in previous posts aside, it sounds really hardcore. You can't use dust-shroud and a couple other CMAN's because the floor is covered in water, which I thought was a real clever twist on the area. The greater water elementals reflect cone/lightning I guess, which makes sense. There's some creature that doesn't have to prep spells, just points and if you can't ward it, you take damage like an incinerator trap (not rank 3 wounds, but it sounded like it hit all areas of the body). Some hurl hatchets, it seems from what I've seen of the logs that most use polearms like tridents. They snipe, and ambush, which isn't all that suprising but still reflects the greater degree of strategy they use again you.

I'm eager to see some full hunt logs to get a look at the area, and tactics. It's supposed to be much harder than OTF, in strategy alone (deeper in, I guess near the entrance is a fast-fry area).

[Danical]

I didn't think the mass elemental shit from the Bowels took down bard songs.

I really can't recall . . . but if it does, I will be rather upset. Guess I'll have a background script that triggers 1011 if this happens.

[Doyle Hargraves]

I don't really give a flying drop of ass sweat about the situation, but I find it funny that you took the time to write up this big long angry post, and then tell him he's the nerd getting all worked up over a game. Especially since you keep posting even more, before a response is made to your previous post.

As to the part about "haha u fail @ life cause u can't afford plat get a better job nub," while I can't speak for anyone else, I could easily afford multiple plat accounts if I wanted. However, I choose not to, simply because in my opinion, it's not worth it. I've had a basic account ever since GS went to the web, and never saw that any of the premium "perks" were worth paying an extra $20 a month for, nevermind paying even more for plat just so some GM will pay attention to you.

I don't know who you are, but I think I have an idea...

Heheheh. I'm sorry I rated this thread 1 star.. it's obviously achieving much higher now.

[HarmNone]

Stretch has already asked that this thread return to topic. Let's drop the battle and get back to the subject of the thread. Any further posts in reference to the aforementioned battle will be removed.

[Numbers]

In any case, what us prime players would like to see is some concrete statistics and information about the creatures in the area, and any pitfalls of the area itself (such as the swimming ranks, drowning, etc.)

I have a feeling most of us couldn't care less about the actual opening event, as it's just a smorgasbord of ego masturbation.

What HN said.

It looks like the dissemblers are a combination of sorcerers and empaths. Hurling a radiant ball of energy is Empathic Assault and it looked like it was wearing Empathic Focus.

I was asked to deliver this letter...

Arianiss Winterfox

.

Today is Volnes, day 16 of the month Jastatos in the year 5106

To the Patriarch and Scholars of New Ta'Faendryl

It has been several millennia's since my graduating rank position first in my class in the ways of a Palestra Warrior. Palestra warrior identification *this part was scratched out*, Knight of Old Ta'Faendryl reporting to duty.

He deemed a traitor to the empire, by your orders, known as Mavalgnus, the former warrior of the Palestra, has been finally located and presently can be found on the Island of Teras. He along with an erithian elementalist named Erkaya, a half-krolvin treasure hunting sailor named Klirn, and a human lore singer named Sarise presently engage themselves in dangerous affairs which have already caused much affliction the this dwarven town. I have witnessed, first handedly, this group, unwittingly through lack of proper training and skills allow several creatures of fire and the souls of foul demented beings to roam the town with no regards to life in their pursuit for the Fier'dracus gem.

It is also in the lack of patience in understanding the Fier'dracus gem itself that the aroma of great caution lacks in the air and the stench of inadequate overwhelms this town. This traitor's, deficient in discipline and unchallenged actions, and group has now resulted in elemental beings now having possession of the gem. They are with an unseen before fiery, distaste for life, and race threatening vengeance against those who once had held it. Only some days ago the protective wards of a temple were broken as several foul beings and war griffins stormed through the holy grounds of the temple, slaying many. Many of the citizens of this diminutive town still morn and bury beloved ones and friends.

I believe stalwartly it is in the preeminent interest of the Ta'Faendryl Empire to take seize of the gem, recapture the deemed traitor, and be first to make claims on the lost temple which has promise of having more influential relics or forbidden artifacts which could only strengthen the Ta`Faendryl Empire. Already adventurer's from across the lands loot the temple stripping it of its natural possessions. I am with immense prayers this letter reaches you before the Illistim Scholars and other Elven Houses have the chance to make claims on this extraordinary opportunity which could be used to reinforce the empire for themselves. I am requesting you propel a undersized number of Faendryl Scouts to at least survey all the happening's taking place on this volcanic island if not reinforcements to claim the temple for the Glory of New Ta`Faendryl.

Warrior of the Palestra

I couldn't read it after that part. I guess they weren't joking when they said Illistim elves were the smart ones.

The Defenders can disarm and of course the sentry's and dissembler's will implode which could make for a nasty combination. So I wouldn't bring in any weapons that your not willing to lose, other than that it doesn't seem that they take anything from you whether your alive or dead.

What's the deal with spell burst in that area, is it the same formula as OTF? It seems everyone's sporting a lower AS/DS so I'm wondering if there's a different formula that causes people to not spell tank as much.

Heh. I was thinking the same thing. The combat is awesome, but it's so damned awesome it doesn't allow time for anything else - like taking a more detailed look at some of the surroundings.

Think about it this way, the place is probably mobbed for the novelty of it right now. Therefore the gen rate is abnormally high. It will probably calm down (or be calmed down by a GM) as the interest declines.

Somewhat like the way Shan got when the Northern fury drilled in there.

[Fallen]

Once the initial interest dies down and the area is less crowded the spawn rates will lower.

Don't know anything about Shan, but I hope a decrease in spawning rate will be the case. A new area, while having new creatures to deal with, also offers a new chance to explore and to learn what secrets may lie in it. It seems a shame that people can't stay alive long enough to really explore a new area.

Personally, I think I'd rather get the opportunity to explore before I got my ass handed to me.

More than that a few times, and had to be broken up into three groups, so as to not make it too easy for the NF.

Generally, the toughest part is trying to ensure the health of the junior members in a highly lethal environment.

Apologies to others in the area of course. Usually the NF does a decent job of providing notice regarding presence.

(Death)

Dissemblers cast focused implosion too?!

The primary reason why I dislike Plane 5 with the Vaespions. As I otherwise can handle them fine one-on-one... it gets difficult if there is more than 2, and particularly if a lost soul arrives and there's knockdowns.

But, as Plane 5 is "small", it can be difficult to find the right room to "hide and wait out" an open implosion (that you just ran away from a Vaesp to avoid), especially when a swarm arrives, and if you move out, you move into range of getting hit by the open void for stuns.

However, you are generally not at risk of losing gear.

.

In the new area, if you get disarmed, and then imploded/killed... your gear is probably lost unless there are others with you (particularly since it seems to be a noticably harder area to get to than EN, so time is more of an enemy).

.

I'd expect that the 130-ish area won't have implosions though.

Guess I'll primarily continue to stick with the EN Barrier until then.

[drigore]

Ignore me. Critter implosions work just fine and you can lose your stuff. As dumb as I think that is.

[Danical]

I've decided to pick up rank 5 of feint so I don't get boned by magus and combatants (anything else that feints?).

But mostly, with tonis running, I can feint in 1 second so that would be a 6 (on a 150+ roll) RT spread against sentries to prevent myself from getting dispeled or voided. My question is this though . . . if you feint barehanded do you need brawling training to make it effective?

[Atlanteax]

Unless the Treasure is "really good", with the high death/casualty rate of the new area... including the "risk" of gear loss (higher than OTF) ...

I'd say that the Risk/Reward ratio is *very* low.

Particularly since you won't necessary "learn faster" either (the matter of how it'd take a few more Ithzir to "match" the Exp gain, it's balanced out with the greater ease of slaying Ithzir).

[Fallen]

Tsin is there, it wont stay good for long. It is the level of the creatures that keeps it decent. When something is over 100, there is no where else for it to go IMO.

[Danical]

Tsin has also died a total of 3-5 times now I think . . . or so I was told. I would wager these aren't tactical errors but unavoidable things like voids. I've heard his slave wizard has died 10 or so times.

He might find it better in OTF but if what he says about making money is true . . . then I imagine he'll stay on Teras. If he were smart he'd bounce between the teras and OTF to maximize his profits.

[Fallen]

He has his own cleric, it isn't a problem. The few times I have seen Tsin fall it was a vaporization. Implosions dont care about post cap training.

[Danical]

It amazes me that deuche bag comes up in every thread. Ah well..Every time I read about him and the slave crew I revert back to the post about him being angry and slamming his chubby fists against the keyboard. Works like a charm..

[Liberi Fatali]

I'm seriously getting fed up with this area. I think I liked OTF better. These maneuvers give WAY too much RT. I'm not encumbered?! Not to mention the swimming is BRUTAL for Sorcerers. I have FIFTY ranks of swimming, WATER WALKING and PURIFY AIR up, and I still get stuck/drown. It is based on STAMINA, and Sorcerers just don't get a lot of this. I only have 48 stamina points -- by the time I get half-way through the swim, I'm down to 10. That's death.

To echo HarmNone's sentiment, I'd love to just be able to EXPLORE the area. I mean, a water based area on Teras, the land of fire and rock? That's amazing, and I'd like to know the history of how such a place came to be.

Plus, my priest is a Charl worshipper, so all things water-based strike his interest. I'd be interested to see what his Divine Wrath (lightning bolts) would do in the area, though I think out of RP-principle, he wouldn't hunt water based creatures.

Well, this is all hypothetical. He's 54 trains.

Edited to ask, Do the tritons or the water elementals say anything? The Ithizir are a chatty bunch, I'd like to see snippets of anything these guys say. Much more interested in interpreting that then a bunch of heathen Itizir.

Only one thing speaks that I've seen -- rather, it SINGS:

An animated siren sings a soothing melody:

"Keep this heart of gold of mine safe in your vault of steel,
Lock it up all for your own, no one can break the seal..."

An animated siren sings a soothing melody:

"My love is true and strong and reaches all of my sugar-sanded beaches,
The measure of my sure devotion stretches farther than Charl's wide ocean..."

A siren sings a soothing melody:

"No more could I wish, nothing I want but this,
Your hand on my arm and the fire of your kiss..."


Also... WHAT THE:

The water elemental closes its eyes and draws in on itself, arms crossed over its aqueous torso. Suddenly its eyes flash open and it hurls an incredibly powerful blast of water at you!

Time slows to a standstill as you watch the watery blast slam into your seemingly frozen body! You vaguely realize that you are screaming as your shattered body is blasted back into a crumpled heap!
... 50 points of damage!
Spun clockwise, you fall in a heap.
You are stunned for 10 rounds!

What was that.. one in ten implosions you've had aimed at you in this area?

[Danical]

That's actually a bit confusing . . . I thought implosions were pretty much a guaranteed kill.

Creature voids must be a bit different (aside from the item loss).

[StrayRogue]

Not if the imploder is significantly lower level.

[Fallen]

Implode is most definitely not an instant kill. Most sorcerers are optimally trained for them (2x Spell Aim), so they do well, though I have had to implode people as well as creatures multiple times to get a kill.

There is a lot of randomness with the spell. You can hit and do barely damage at all. The next hit you vaporize your target completely. You can even hit and not stun a creature, despite popular belief.

[Tea & Strumpets]

I'm seriously getting fed up with this area. I think I liked OTF better.

OTF is good if you want an ego massage or to pretend that you are hunting in a dangerous high level area. It looks like Teras is where they separate the men from the boys.

As far as the maneuvers go, I wouldn't be surprised if swimming ranks was part of the maneuver check/die roll/whatever. Anyone tried bumping their swimming ranks up to 60 or 70?

[Shalla]

Focused Implode is most definitely not an instant kill. Most sorcerers are optimally trained for them (2x Spell Aim), so they do well, though I have had to implode people as well as creatures multiple times to get a kill.

I'm optimally trained for it and on like level, war griffins, I get instant kill 30% of the time probably.

It may be uncommon for players to dodge it, but creatures survive it all the time.

With higher level differences, 15+ say, it'll just ruffle the target's hair.

[Doyle Hargraves]

OTF is good if you want an ego massage or to pretend that you are hunting in a dangerous high level area. It looks like Teras is where they separate the men from the boys.

Don't forget that OTF went through a few nerfs over time. I'm sure this Teras area will too.

[Merzbow]

Don't forget that OTF went through a few nerfs over time. I'm sure this Teras area will too.

I haven't seen the Bowels get nerfed and everyone bitches endlessly about how hard that area is.

[Danical]

I still think the bowels is the toughest hunting for like-level (except for non-sword/board warriors in OTF).

[Fallen]

Thurfel's Cellar is pretty damned hard like level, as is Pinefar for hunting Glacei. Also, the Frozen Orchard is pretty damned hard.

[Danical]

A greater krynch rolls into the room and you die . . . that's some bullshit. All the others things you at least engage first.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

The bowels aren't that hard like level, and in a good group for the most part they are easy.

[Dragonspine and Krodera]
The street widens into a circular plaza several hundred feet across. Dwarves and giantmen lounge on stone benches by a massive granite fountain in the center. The burbling of the waters, the low mumblings of the dwarves and the booming laughter of the giants somehow blend together into a vibrant harmony. You also see the Khitajrah disk, a speckled tree frog, the Xeroz disk, the Tillmont disk, a hunk of roasted rolton, a pair of small steel jaws, the Kkorrik disk, a lava tube, a wrought iron sign, a red granite statue and a wooden table with some stuff on it.

[StrayRogue]

Nice going Shalla. I guess all it takes is getting used to the area. People will have been in OTF mode for so long now, it will be totally weird hunting anything around that level.

So, is there spellburst in effect? A level limit anywhere?

[Asha]

As if sorcerers would have problems there using the tactics of OTF.
Disable, cast CS attack and maneuver attack those who need stunning quick or rid of fast.
Sorcerer hunting is the simplest and safest out there.
Unless you're Jeno who has the worst maneuver luck in history.

[Danical]

Good work. However . . .

I didn't see a disarm/charge/feint/void/drown maneuver/conch fear/major ewave/Special Water Elemental Blast (looks like wyrds in RR) or basically anything which pwnz sorcs.

I would suggest getting disarm/feint as soon as possible as a sorc.

Oh, and fuck elementals btw. I can't really touch them as a pure and I don't want to jump into offensive to pound on them.

[Shalla]

I got the pause from sheer fear when I was with nakiro. I didn't have the log for that one. The beginning of the log is gone too. I guess part of the reason I didn't get those maneuvers because I was aware of them and I didn't really give them a chance to cast it at me because I was moving around.

It's like hunting OTF again at 73. I probably would've died if I was caught by a maneuver.

[Tea & Strumpets]

Don't forget that OTF went through a few nerfs over time. I'm sure this Teras area will too.

OTF has been nerfed into oblivion. That place is a joke compared to what it used to be. Let's hope the Soulpieced types (I died, this area has to be nerfed so I can brag about my hunting prowess!) don't have the same luck with Teras.

[Zarli]

I was looking through trying to find a log for an empath hunting there, using something besides fire spirit, maybe I missed it.. or maybe I'm too lazy to look closely lol.

Anyone give me a run down on how empath spells... especially bone shatter, work there and on which critters?

[El Burro]

Empaths stay at the statue and heal us fighters generally. Free pie and chocolate I hear.

[Zarli]

dont make me hurt you lord burro man

[Danical]

Bone shatter isn't going to work well against (Greater) Water Elementals, Sentries and defenders.

Rather limited.

It would work on the others (siren, combatant, radical, dissembler, magus, executioner)

[StrayRogue]

Why? Are they immune or just have unusually high TDs?

[Sean]

Would a water elemental have bones to actually shatter?

[StrayRogue]

Probably not, but a sentry and a defender might.

[TheEschaton]

Are those the undead ones?

-TheE-

[Danical]

sentries and defenders are non-corp undead (I assume bone shatter doesn't work on them but I don't know) and WEs don't crit (again assuming bone shatter doesn't work on them).

[TheEschaton]

What's the Sorc spell that makes non-corporeal undead corporeal? Phase?

Put 15 charges in a 60 mana rod and you're set. A bit cumborsome, yes, but it can be easily scripted since most empaths have an empty hand anyways, no?

-TheE-

[Danical]

I wouldn't dream of wasting 3 seconds of RT to phase . . . these suckers will instavoid/instaDC.

No thank you.

[StrayRogue]

1108 ftw.

[Danical]

Isn't there a new attack spell (1115) coming out for empaths supposedly alleviating this problem?

[Danical]

DAmn what I wouldnt give to be able to train in it. Speared twice brutally in a span of 30 minutes today. Vicious maneuver, but at least its real bullshit and not cheap Ithzir bullshit.

[Danical]

wtf . . . 8 round stun on a 101 CS/TD outcome?

Get spells, berserk, 1040, beseech, use scrolls/MIs . . . how am I supposed to get 80 ranks of CM to avoid Charge?

[Artha]

get mobiles, unencumber, scrolls for whatever that paladin CM increasing spell is, blurs (I can only assume dodge helps...dodge the maneuver)...

[StrayRogue]

Dodge doesn't help maneuvers, for the 1000th time.

[Artha]

That makes sense.

Dot dot dot.

[StrayRogue]

The basic factors that almost every maneuver takes into account are (I believe that this is listed on the web, as well):

Skill rank level of attacker/defender
Stance level of attacker/defender
CM ranks (all direct attack maneuvers)
Secondary skill ranks (Shield Bash/Charge = Shield Use, Garrote/Subdue = Ambush)
Relative levels of target and attacker
Encumbrance level
Degree of training for armor type worn
Wounds and HP state
Target's state (stunned, webbed, immobile, etc.)

Certain maneuvers take into account special factors. For example, for Sweep the factors are (pretty much all the guild skills' bonuses/penalties have been carried over intact):

Bulky items held (unchanged from the prior version of Sweep)
Size of target (unchanged)
Stability of target/number of legs (unchanged)

Anyone have the drill sergeant commission them into *attempting* to defeat one of the cracked out ~105 baddies yet? <g>

Train in it? The little plus icon next to Combat Maneuvers. :)Dodge does help some (generally newer, obviously) maneuvers. What's most remarkable about you in particular saying this is that (IIRC) you're also completely convinced that crit padding helps against maneuvers.

Name one of those new maneuvers? It isn't any of the CM derived ones, because dodge still hasn't been factored into those. I wonder what mysterious new maneuever has been released except them. that aren't just recycled critter maneubers. Crit padding, in my experience does help against maneuvers. ESPECIALLY old ones.

[Latrinsorm]

Feint.

"in my experience" is just another way of saying "anecdotal evidence".

Um, fraid not bud. Here's a few shots:

Actually there was some research done on maneuvers versus crit padding. This goes beyond dying less thanks to crit padding in OTF, Icemule, and 40 levels of being a rogue and a pure.

It was done when the first fixskills was being done, when there was the testing realm. I recall they tested boil and it's effects. They tested it in relation to CM training, PT training, and finally crit padding, with padding being the most optimul means of surviving a hit from it. As you keep whining on and on and on about on Psinet, this was tested about 1000 times at that period thanks to the lovely method of quick skill reswapping and the >healme command.

[Latrinsorm]

Tierus gestures at Lucene.You're halfway done. :)
Actually there was some research done on maneuvers versus crit padding.How peculiar that nobody has any record of it, then. :shrug:

[StrayRogue]

You're halfway done. :)


Actually no, I did it four ways because Tierus cast it on me by mistake to begin with. Same result.

Had it removed on Stay kept on Lucene = same result.

Now on Stay and not Lucene:

You currently have the following active spells:
Mass Blur
Spirit Defense

[Roll result: 118 (open d100: 28) Penalties: 14]
You feint low, Lucene buys the ruse and moves to block the blow that never came!

The mind of Lucene shares their magical status with you.
The following spells are currently active:
101: Spirit Warding I - 3h 32:18 remaining.
102: Spirit Barrier - 3h 32:24 remaining.
103: Spirit Defense - 47:46 remaining.
107: Spirit Warding II - 3h 32:30 remaining.
120: Lesser Shroud - 3h 32:36 remaining.
202: Spirit Shield - 17:08 remaining.
215: Heroism - 17:11 remaining.
1109: Empathic Focus - 2h 11:17 remaining.
1119: Strength of Will - 2h 00:38 remaining.

Hopefully that stops your whining on Psinet. Unless of course you need it done any other way. Or done 100000 times.


How peculiar that nobody has any record of it, then. :shrug:

It was recorded on the boards at the time. It was done by some sorcerer whose named began with a P (I forget - it wasn't Pyrocite, or Prestius, nor was it Pastoya).

I was told they could when I first went in.

[Celephais]

... you need to post a feign, have that person Stop 911, then feign them again. You keep changing characters and doing spell active on the attacker etc. I'm not disagreeing with you, you're just posting from all over the place. Isolate the variable.

[StrayRogue]

You can't stop outside spells cast on you.

The very first feints in the first log are with no Blurs cast on anyone. The second is with Lucene with Blurs on.
The third is with Stay with Blurs on, Lucene without.
The fourth is with Lucene with Blurs on, and Stay without, again (to clarify the Tierus blurs screwup).
The only variable I haven't posted is with both characters with Blurs on. I did do this before that last dispelling. 100 points to whomever can guess what the result was..

[Danical]

Could be that dodge only factors into the forumla if you've actually trained in it not just from spells.

[StrayRogue]

Perhaps. I was thinking of expending some saved tp's on dodge ranks, but I wouldn't think 1 or 2 ranks would make a difference even if it DID factor into the equation (which I believe it doesn't).

Everyone whom I could have reliably tested it on has fucked off to Teras for the moment.

[Danical]

I'm rather certain menos believed dodge factored into feint because he bemoaned his diminished ability when he went from close to 3x dodge as a warrior to 2x as a paladin; CM remained the same at 2x.

[Danical]

Just checked with Menos and he said dodge affects feint only on the defensive side.

[StrayRogue]

Hmmm, perhaps it is natural ranks (which would mean a bug in 911), or maybe it's profession based. Bear in mind he will have lost the warrior guild skill feint, which is like losing a "sixth" rank of the skill via the CM system.

If someone wants to come do some testing, I'll create a noob warrior with 0 ranks.

[Latrinsorm]

It was recorded on the boards at the time.I'm sure I don't need to explain the difference between "has" and "had" to a writer guy like yourself. I did check through the play.net forums with google on the off chance it was still cached, but found nothing.

Here's an interesting excerpt from the play.net description of 911, emphasis mine:

Causes all characters in the caster's group to appear blurred to attackers, thus providing the defense equivalent of 20 ranks of Dodging skill.

I don't recall anyone ever talking about dodge's effect on maneuvers on PsiNet, incidentally. I think what you're referring to is the strict position I take with regards to proof of crit padding's effect on maneuvers, because apparently scientific scrutiny is "whining" now.

[Danical]

Has anyone actually compiled info on these new creatures?

Prove us wrong Latrinsorm. I'll give you a 5 million coins if you can show that crit padding doesn't help against boil earths.

You'll never be able to show that crit padding doesn't help against boil earth. It does, and it's obvious. CMAN's are not maneuvers, they are CMAN's. One has nothing to do with the other.

[AestheticDeath]

heh, i thought cman was short for combat maneuvers

It is, and it still has nothing to do with maneuver attacks.

[Liberi Fatali]

I was doing a sentry bounty task (kill a certain amount of them) this morning -- these are usually relatively easy for a Sorcerer, as you just need to run around typing 720 sentry. However, the sentry are able to cast without any indication of prepping -- so basically, they are doing the same thing as me. They sit in a room pounding: >CAST AT PERSON until someone walks by. Unfortunately, it was my turn.

You'll never be able to show that crit padding doesn't help against boil earth. It does, and it's obvious.Yeah, that's what they said about Aristotle. We all know how that ended up.

All I've ever said is there is no data, so it's silly to come to a conclusion. If you have some, let's see it!

[Fallen]

Someone go get hakonne and his crazy padded plate and a regular set. Boil him a few times. There you go.

[Tea & Strumpets]

Yeah, that's what they said about Aristotle. We all know how that ended up.

All I've ever said is there is no data, so it's silly to come to a conclusion. If you have some, let's see it!

You are the maniac talking about doing clinical studies to prove game mechanics that are common knowledge and easily tested...you go gather the facts and then you can apologize for arguing just for the sake of arguing. I met Aristotle, and you sir, are no Aristotle.

[Latrinsorm]

common knowledgeCommon knowledge like how redux only affected DF? :)
easily testedNothing that has to do with crit rank and hidden rolls is easily tested.

[Tea & Strumpets]

I've had enough out of you. Prepared to be boiled.

[StrayRogue]

And there is data. He just won't listen because "he didn't do it himself".

I've got my VHCP asg 10 armor . . . if someone wants to fuck around with it and do testing. I'm willing to put it up there for this research.

And there is data. He just won't listen because "he didn't do it himself".I won't listen because a man cannot listen to nothing. You say there's data, I say let's see it, and all I get are accusations.

I never had a problem with Allanor's DF table.
I never had a problem with Porcell's redux point research.
I never had a problem with the eleventy billion things Krakii found out about bards.

"My say-so is evidence enough" is something only God can get away with, and even then not very well.

[StrayRogue]

As I said, the research was posted on the boards at the transition to GS4.

[Latrinsorm]

And as I said, I don't need to explain the difference between "has" and "had" (or in this case "is" and "was") to a writer like yourself.

If you say there IS data, let me see it (surely you're aware of the rolling nature of the official boards). If you refuse, then I have no recourse but to continue to be skeptical of any claims made about crit padding and maneuvers.

[StrayRogue]

Just like I need to prove nothing to you. I've played with and without a variety of expensive, padded armour. I have my own experiences in GS to go off. Have you?

I recall reading those posts, along with a whole torrent of research that was posted back then thanks to the transition, however many years ago it was. Most of it was complaining about Ambushing, the cap reduction, hamstring being usable by ANYONE, and the reduced DS that everyone suffered. No wonder it was buried. But it was there.

Hell, were you even PLAYING gemstone then?

[Latrinsorm]

I have my own experiences in GS to go off.Anecdotal evidence is an extremely dangerous route to take.
But it was there.I have never doubted nor questioned that it was there. Until I can see it for myself, I have no way of evaluating the methodology of the experiment. You have established that your burden of proof when it comes to mechanics is significantly less strenuous than mine, so I also can't just go by your word that it was all hunky-dory.
Hell, were you even PLAYING gemstone then?Nice one, Celtar. In fact, I was playing GS during the beta and had a lot of fun using the HEALME verb to explore areas with impunity. Unfortunately, I was not so mechanically inclined then as I am now, so I was unable to do in a few days what takes me months to do now. Such is life.
