You were gutsy and also quite lethal, especially sans head.

I was looking forward to a rematch but as you said, with your hp gone, it wasn't the battle royale I was expecting. Massive kudos to coming to the giant in such a situation.

I know you killed me there once...I think it was just Heshim that day I managed to Pillar it to death. But yeah, I enjoyed fighting you, I would've jumped into it more, but the low low hp was really getting to me quickly.

I think I was hitting your outer every 12 game hours for a real life hour...or maybe more, can't remember :)

Since I had no chance when actually fighting you unless you got bored/made a mistake, I thought I'd just keep trying. I was really impressed you duked it out for so long, ready to blast me in half as soon as I showed up.

Learned a lot with Keilan, died a few times solo exploring, had some goo PK fights and some bad ones. I was piping great at 38, destroying most people, when I got hit by the worst bug I've ever seen. Shorten it up, I'd log off at ones and randomly lose hp, mana, and moves. At the end, I had 155 base hp at 46. So yeah, that bug is the reason I deleted.

All of you guys in scion were great. While mostly quiet, all too notch interactions. Zhenyen, I ####ing loved RPing with you or your familiar. My biggest regret in this is losing that RP with you. Oh well.

Dont like doing individual goodbyes in this, if you felt I was good enough for a goodbye, I'll happily reply.

Peace

I enjoyed our interactions.

Man...I couldn't believe you stuck it out as far as you did with that bug. Enjoyed the PK, and you were always willing to throw down, even with the disadvantage. You would have rocked my face off 99% of the time with more HP

See you in the fields

I don't know about the 99%, you get me gagged and bound, nothing I could do. My new RC edge would've helpe a little against garrote, but if you landed it, I knew flee run was m only survival chance

I've interacted with your character with one of mine and enjoyed it very much. I wish you luck with your next.

If this was a verified bug certainly the situation would have been rectified. Despite it being a game we do invest time in it and something that serious would be fixed and treated with a high level of priority, I'm sure. I can't help but to wonder if it was reported via the proper channels?

Didn't Nep say those changes were by design?

Kind of lame that a innocent explorer got nabbed by some of neps "anti-cheat" stuff.

Never mind, not even worth the trouble.

This is all just stupid. You added an extra #### over to an item you already added lag to? Honestly, I never even suspected it being that item.

I don't recall using it all the frequently either.

I bet you had a unique piece of gear that did something cool and that isn't a bug.

(Not one of my items, either, for the record.)

There are other examples of this such as the sword of Zurcon. Having items with nifty affects that have actual consequences to use make them interesting. Is it that big a deal that there could be something that would make sense to only use occasionally? That could create player driven (and possibly immortal assisted) story lines of cleansing. I would think such an interestingly cursed item could also be very believably woven into player story lines as a pure RP item. I mean isn't it cooler to bring the sphere of soul sucking corruption to the shrine of Baerinika to be cleansed that actually does soul sucking corruption as opposed to just a bloody orb that is a junk item you have to pretend is wild dark magic or just pretend with emotes?

More to the point, when have YOU or other players cared about being fair to players?

The really weird thing was that I only lost hp/mana/moves only when I logged off, which is why I would've though it was a bug.

I did not even notice until it took a strong hit. And at that point it was purely trying to figure out what went wrong and the cost was too great by that point.

I deleted without even knowing. Funny thing is I don't even recall using said item all that often but maybe I did during some exploration without realizing it due to the time since playing.

Why did it only happen when I logged out? And I ended up speaking to Another Imm about in game, who told me it wasn't the item I had.

Also, if it was all because of an item...couldn't I have just been told by design? Instead of sitting in the dark for like ,a week and a half? I probably would've rolled with it and RP'd it out if I knew it wasn't a bug.

So... It's that item I looted from you? Better sac it then before something happens to me.

n/t

for the record

That really sucks for you dude. I have no idea what item it was that screwed you so bad but it sucks that it did. You have been one of two scions that I see occasionaly on my lonely logins and I am gutted that I edged to 43 and primed myself to go to hero with you and you are gone and I am still in the deathzone of rank 43, oh well :)

Saw you won the RC and was excited to talk to you about the gifts bestowed by the gods upon you but I guess I will need to find new, trusted and respected company now.

See you again in the fields, I hope, just don't be a goodie!

A for the role contest, I got me of the depths and demielemental transcendence, which both actually really fit my role. Never got to try out Mage if the depth, sounds like a pretty edge if I wanted to draw them underwater
