#77300, "Urgok deleted. It was fun."
|
Well, I had fun. Orc Chieftain is very very hard to pull off (for me). Most people with high dexterity can tank your horde just fine, but it can rape anyone with low dexterity fairly easily. I had a lot of trouble finding a cursed weapon, heavy enough to hack with, that pierced physical resistance AND wasn't maxed out. There were three giants with the crashing of waves legacy in range, and an arial, three of them villagers, they were nearly impossible to win against unless I ganged them or had taken the head. Raiding the village was always hard, because I usually had no allies, and fortress or outlander members always seemed to show up to run me off, if there were no villagers on, so I never had much luck with that. Still, I learned quite a few things. Now on to the goodbyes. I took the pleasure of drawing pictures of my friends and foes, since I'm an aspiring artist.
Zizzle, you were awesome when I got to interact with you. I was sort of surprised you were willing to help me when Alzinghul died. When I had you on my side, even if I was naked, in less than an hour I'd be in some of the nicest hero gear, and have several more PKs under my belt. On the other hand, I didn't see you around very much at all, and I was always sort of embarrassed to show you I'd went from what we looted together, to ragesteel, regardless, you are a solid character RP and PK wise, and your presence has a huge positive impact.
Proleteria, you sort of fit in with Zizzle, when you were around I was very deadly. Unfortunately, I never got to interact with you much, but I thought it sucked that you lost your voice. Hope you have better luck with your next.
Woldrun, we didn't interact much, but you seemed to really know your stuff, and I was never able to kill you, especially with that legacy.
Malthalia, I really enjoyed fighting you, except for when I got fiended. However, I seemed to have absolutely NO luck bashing you, ever. Still, I'd much rather fight an elf bard, than any other race, since I can use berserk, and dashbash tactics to avoid fiend, most of the time. I liked the bardnotes.
Borkahd, I liked you, and I liked fighting you, when I was able to. Unfortunately I realized it was usually pointless unless you didn't have the head, or I had a decent cursed weapon to hack with.
Lenfelin? I can't remember why I drew a picture of you, since we only fought like once, but whatever. Good luck with whatever it is you do.
Padwei, I wasn't really sure if I liked you or not. I remember the first time I died to you at the fortress, I was full looted, save two or three pieces, but I think that may have been Velkoth who did it, since he was pissed at me. Either way, I never managed to kill you, and that Unicorn is really tough.
Iktul, you were strange, you normally seemed to be pretty cool, but when you blackjacked me and died, and cried over that mace, I lost a lot of respect for you.
Ruutob, I don't think we ever spoke, ever. But man, sunray and the hunt is ANNOYING.
I generally liked Grawshen, but sometimes when you died you were overly bitchy about your gear, and I really didn't want to hear it when you have a full suit of Pwent gear, and I was still wearing some ragesteel. Besides that, you were the ballsiest villager I fought, and probably my favorite. Seems you lost your voice too? A shame.

That those drawings cracked me up.
Fighting you was always an adventure! I soo should have gotten the hell out of dodge when I got blinded in that last fight. But instead let my self get summoned and bashed down. Ce'st la live! Fighting on eastern is lowbie loot land and those are the risks.

With Mamlauks (by that, I mean "hack") being so badass, why the hell would anyone pick any of the other paths, aside from being different?
Honestly I don't know if I've ever even seen any of the other orc types in action. Do they all suck that bad?

To some degree I think it's an in-vogue thing. For a while every high level orc was a skrugga. Then mundunugu for a while. Now it's mamlauk.
The other thing to keep in mind is that hack is a skill with a ton of lag that fails a lot. It looks great when everything is going right -- what you're not seeing logs of is the orc trying to use it, failing, and dying before he gets his next command, or the orc cracking a tough opponent with hack arm (or whatever) and them being gone and on another continent 3+ rounds before the following bash goes through.
As a player fighting orcs I haven't struggled a lot with hack. YMMV.

I've never had a problem with orcs, in general. But yes, the hack-pwn logs are probably what stand out so much about Mamlauks. Maybe it's just the shock-value of the ability....you know, huge damage plus a nasty penchant for making people drop weapons is always purdy in logs.

I have never played mamlauk. But, out of all the battles I had with Urgok and Alzhinghul I think I only saw hack miss me once. I had no idea this skill was so unreliable. In fact, I thought just the opposite. What a great skill, it's like a kot with a guaranteed wrist break that does heavy damage. But, that is just what I witnessed from my point of view.

That applies when an orc is solo.
It's a very different story when the orc is not solo.

I'm sorry to see you go. I always had a blast running about with my bombastically barbarous friend Urgok!
Regarding, helping you (and Alzinghul), I've always had a soft-spot for orcs, after having played one and getting pounded mercilessly once I got into the higher levels. This was before the orc mini-revamp, and I'm glad to see orcs are a little bit more self-sufficient now. I think hands-down a hasted orc (of whatever subclass that can do that hack skill) is one of the most awesome and sickening sights in the game--and what kept me coming back for more. That said, orcs are so few and far between I think everybody sees them as a walking FREE PK sign. I was glad to help you reverse the game.
As I've said many times, it was a pleasure.
Your friend, /s/ Doctor Zizzle Ziff, Friendly Physiogamist to the Clan

I thought it was kind of an interesting twist that we traveled together once, and then we were at each others throat. When we traveled and had just finished I had this feeling that you and the other orc were about to turn on me and jump me wounded so I nofol'd and walked off quickly. Were you going to?
We had some good fights. Well done. Hack is a bitch.

Urgok knew he was eventually going to try to kill you, but with the competition for chieftain, he figured he'd use you to gain those last few ranks (getting groups with Orcs is incredibly hard from level 25 on up). Surprisingly, none of the other Orcs who could have taken Chieftain ever showed up again. Goporlug, Kuzrack, and I think there was one other. I found that strange.
And yes, we contemplated killing you while we were ranking, I think just as you were leaving we decided we would, but we didn't catch up with you or something. Or maybe we decided to leave you be. I don't think Goporlug cared for the war against the Village, but I'm not sure on that.

Anyone that can handle playing an orc has my respect. I tried guarding your stuff today on eastern, but I thought you had lost link or quit out. Lowbies were on it like vultures. Then a few minutes later you were back.
Sorry man.
Anyhow, thought you did a good job. Why the heck is every poor SOB orc at war with village? Village seems a chaotic place. Why not be at war with Empire or Tribunal (as well as Fortress).
It seems weird to see Orcs working along side Empire. (Not really as lackies or fodder troop, but as equals), and being hunted by barbarians.
ANyhow....
You were cool.
Later man.

Besides a large number of villagers calling me, and the other Orcs weak, when the cabal was overflowing with mid level ragers and applicants, Urgok wanted to be continue the war, because he wanted to be like Alzinghul, he thought Alzinghul was truly a great chief, and admired him and his ability to bring villagers to Tremblefist so I could bash them down. And luckily, I didn't have to bother trying to kill him, as he died before the need arised.

If every other villager didn't have crashing, I probably would have killed them a lot more often with some stoneskin and shield. But maybe not.
I honestly had a much better chance with you than I did with Borkahd, Woldrun, or Selene.
As for cursed weapons, I could have demanded the lowbie Orc who has Iron Flame give it to me, but I didn't. Elf-reaver, an axe I only had once, was saved from a full loot at the fortress, unfortunately it had to be uncursed so it could be given back to me, so it was basically worthless. The claw of the dracolich, I remember spending 2 and one half hours soloing the dracolich, and it didn't have the claw. With a lot of time to waste, I could have occasionally gotten Liftrashir, but it didn't go through physical resistance, and someone eventually showed up on the battlefields before I could finish the mob. There were a few others that were either never in, or ungettable for me. Zizzle was unable to think of anything for me to use as well. A good cursed hack worthy weapon would have made so much difference. I'll see about finding one with my next exploring character, so I won't be faced with the problem again.

Not exactly true but that may have been the case in my reason for continuing the war. Ruhk and Djabree both ran train on me multiple times for the "free pk" sign on orcs. After I got hack and could make villagers comes to Tremblefist it turned the tables. Exploiting the fact that they can't word was the reason I massed up 100 villager kills. Either way you learn a lot with chieftain chars and they only get stronger as you use all the versatile skills they get.
