#70300, "A general reply to responses and then going silent."
|
First, thanks for all the suggestions. I have read every post and whether I responded directly, I do appreciate it. All of it. Even the condescending comments. Where would we be without drama?
I'm gonna try to respond to a lot of those comments and questions in what I hope is going to be my last post in this thread for a while. I'm spending too much time wording my replies and not enough time gaming. Hopefully, my next post in this thread will be to necro it back to life and point to my premium hero page where I died of old age.
Again, thanks and I will take it all to heart.
PK deficit - Yes, I'm aware it's not like it used to be. I do recall when it first came out, the more you died, the higher level enemies you had to deal with. Can't seem to shake that old system out of my head. I see the XP loss as a death sentence.
PK in groups - It's been a long while since I've had some of the situations I've described happen to me. Mostly because I've deleted before I've encountered them. But one fact I know for certain, RL humans have not changed much since I started playing. If they get a chance to massage their egos with an easy kill and still somehow claim it to be role-playing, they will. While this example isn't exactly proof, it does tell me that the whole RP thing still gets quickly thrown out the window on a whim... I had a Gnome the other day tossing 'your mom' sexual innuendo insults at my character because I snorted at them. Yea... right.
XP loss - So far, nobody has convinced me this is a good thing. While a pve death should have some negative effect on your character, IMHO the XP loss currently excessive. Whether I die while 5,000xp from level or 1xp from level, the loss should be the same. It currently isn't. And I don't think I can be convinced that this excessive setback is necessary on the first, second or even third pve death. I believe that if xp loss is needed it should be based on the number of pve deaths you've had. Little or no loss at first death and up to full level plus loss if you're a habitual kamikaze.
Pally role - This was before the new empowerment system came into play. At that time, I'm sure most of you know, there was no point going forward without empowerment. I still have that role and description saved. With the recent changes I may attempt to revive it and hopefully get a yes or no answer since it never really went anywhere.
Human assassin - I have played assassins in the past. I admit it has been quite a while and I think I got really stupid with the last one and made a DE. For a first hero class, I suppose it would work. I've just never been overly fond of that whole Asian/Ninja motif in a Tolkienesque fantasy world. Thanks and I shall study this suggestion further.
Trolling - Umm no. I don't troll. If there is a bug, glitch or random chance with astronomical odds that something incredibly rare, like a lvl 12 mob taking a 3rd attack to whack me dead or 100% skill in hide failing, it will happen to me. My closest friend has threatened to play, "Raindrops keep falling on my head." at my funeral.
Talking out my ass - Yes, you are correct. Not having hero'ed I can't say how much non-empowerment would affect characters especially with the new system. I can say this. I would NOT want to try to get a Druid to hero without transmute. At least not with my knowledge level.
Gear - I do know how to do item search and I search a lot. One issue I found, if it's a druid_only item, well that's because it's probably being worn by a druid. Kinda hard to RP being a druid and beating another druid's ass for his staff especially when one of the major 'nature' religions frowns on just that sort of activity. Most of the items that you guys named, I do know where to get and I do get them. Some, I'm only aware of their existence.
Again, thanks.
