55068, Both specs for an extra legacy? I'd take it.
Posted by Murphy on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I wonder if this could be made possible.

Would make the warrior class more accessible to people who like to play simple. I know I don't appreciate weapon specializations at all, though.
55086, I'd love the option to 1 spec, 3 legacies. But I guess that's op :( :( : (

yep
55088, Huh, so 3 legacies are OP?

Guess you guys should stop giving them out for role contests then :)

ZING! Lasted like an hour.
55089, Merry Christmas

55093, Well it only took me 2 years of complaining about it.

So I think you guys actually did a good job.

Normally it takes 5+ years of complaining ;)

Stopped over a year ago.

Add to that, a third legacy picked to be fun but not optimal for your build is a far cry from three you pick to go together.

But you already knew all that.
55092, I just tend not to believe some of the things you say...
Posted by TMNS on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
...because, you know, you're not telling the truth :)

Like this!

Relevant part: >However, did he make them knowing characters would get them at
>100 hrs?

I'm not aware of that ever happening though maybe it has at some point.

Which happened here: Tue 16-Oct-12 06:10 AM

Which makes me wonder how all this stuff happened...

Tue Sep 18 07:36:58 2012 by 'Reksah' at level 51 (105 hrs):
Per Nreykre: RC reward = black dragon hatchling quest form.

Wed Apr 8 07:32:16 2009 by 'Rayihn' at level 47 (48 hrs):
Given crag soarer at level 48 for being an RC runner up. I liksed this role.

And then this happened right after!

Mon Dec 10 18:18:28 2012 by 'Thror' at level 51 (95 hrs):
Given Blink Dog for his RC reward. Used a little flare to interact the teaching of the form to him! Well done! Thanks for being so grateful in character.

Just saying.

Look, CF is an awesome game. I just don't find it enjoyable anymore. It happens. It will probably happen to you AGAIN (since it already happened once before). One of the things I don't find enjoyable is I feel certain characters are too powerful. It is what it is.

I have no idea what you're trying to convey. I really don't.
55095, That you're not always right.
Posted by TMNS on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Much like when you told me cranial didn't put you into resting position and I posted a log that showed it did.

Basically, I'm a fan of yours, but you have a habit of either obfuscating the truth or not feeling like we deserve the truth.

In the example I posted (from early 2013) I posted that I thought role contest rewards were insane, and that multiple shifters had got their forms before 100 hrs.

You claimed that if that happened, you didn't know about it...but your wife gave out one of the rewards herself in 2009 before 100 hrs. And multiple other IMMs did it.

So the way I look at it, is either you don't give a #### about that type of stuff (your perogative) and therefore what you said is TECHNICALLY true...or you just lied to try and make me feel better.

I think you're more of the former than the latter, but yeah.

Basically, I don't believe you that you're not giving legacies to role contest winners anymore. I just don't. Sorry, but it is what it is. Of course, CF has many more problems than this (such as lack of players) but yeah.

Role contest winners of the last 16 months (since that announcement) are a matter of public record. You can buy all their PBFs and look for a legacy that one of them got as a reward if you want.
55098, You should remember I don't take your dares :)
Posted by TMNS on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
It's all good. The game (other than the parts I find less than enjoyable) seems to be running smoothly. I wish you could get more players but that's always the rub. I think I'm just getting too old to really grind away when there are so many other options to waste my free time with.
55099, Four years...

Just once I'd like to play around with it.

Sword greeting/landslide/crashing

Dagger landslide/dance/striking

SO many options :)

I don't see us doing this, but if we did, would you still want it if Hour was off the table?
55100, I would and here's why
Posted by Murphy on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I see legacies as a way to cover my warrior's shortcomings. I didn't think of hour at first, nor other combos that I described. I thought of something else.

The worst thing I dislike about warriors is that they have a hard time participating in the prep race that is hero ranks. Prepped warriors are typically very powerful but as a payoff they can't keep those preps on for every fight. Thus they must frequently contend with being a glass cannon.

Now, what's wrong with being a glass cannon? Nothing. You can still kill people at hero if you take offensive legacies. Essentially you kill enemies so fast that your fragility doesn't matter.

It's just... against a similar opponent it becomes weird. A single melee round may take off 40% of my health but also my opponent's. And then the next round may take none because of randomness of parry/dodge. It's not my idea of fun when you can't tell who's winning during the entire fight.

So I take defensive legacies. And then I find that two are not enough.
55077, Not a huge warrior player.
Posted by Akresius on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I've only had one successful one at hero. Help me out, here: you don't have specs but you get three legacies. With those three legacies, an average warrior player could be successful with dirt/disarm/offhand/bash/trip?

Would you make a lot more use out of the default weapon skills like slice, shield cleave and pugil?

I'm just curious as to how that would work out.
55079, I'm guessing he'd be spamming bash or something
Posted by incognito on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
For example, greeting the avalanche (to lag), fluid deceptions (to reduce incoming damange), and crashing (to disarm).
55082, I would do something like this
Posted by laxman on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Take hours past midnight then two legacies to compliment

If I plan to fight melee types then hours/greeting/cry

Against mages maybe hours/calming/landslide

Etc
55083, hours should be a weapon spec nt

nt
55084, Some of the possible combos
Posted by Murphy on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Incarnadine to maledict, Whirlwind to make the most of it, landslide to lag at the end. Go Empire, use sword and shield with imperial defense, sword and dagger with offense.

Greeting/crashing plus any extra legacy that you can't live without.

Enigma to earthbind and maledict enemies. Cry, then trip. Gates or Riddle so you are still in fighting condition when you finish zapping them.

Giant damage monster. Fist, Riddle, Trapping. Bash or trip. Lash if you can get a really heavy flail.

As mentioned above, hour past midnight will replace any two specs all right.
55101, To be honest, not all of these are what I'd play
Posted by Murphy on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I'm just saying that other people might find something in it as well.
