| 2024-09-16 14:44 | Lasnel | as does starbuck, I dunno however |
| 2024-09-16 14:43 | Lasnel | rar does |
| 2024-09-16 14:43 | Mojo | Does anybody know if Gol Shf heals with vamp better or worse than non-constructs? |
| 2024-09-16 13:59 | Quickblade | ahh well, time to afk a bit |
| 2024-09-16 13:53 | Ryoki | I'm a big proponent of preround whatever - bash > smash, but bash/surp/casting is fantastic. I have my brutes set up to either bash or 'backup bash' if there's a failed bash ahead of me before I enter combat. |
| 2024-09-16 13:53 | Manic | it sounds true imo! |
| 2024-09-16 13:52 | Maxine | must be true |
| 2024-09-16 13:52 | Maxine | it's in his sor's title |
| 2024-09-16 13:52 | Maxine | but tin's a good guy |
| 2024-09-16 13:52 | Manic | EEP! |
| 2024-09-16 13:52 | Siveril | I'm here to abuse tin |
| 2024-09-16 13:52 | Hippo | abusing zarra alts is a wonderful pasttime |
| 2024-09-16 13:52 | Manic | eww, im only here to abuse rar |
| 2024-09-16 13:51 | Hippo | Personally, I just enjoy this game and enjoy playing it |
| 2024-09-16 13:51 | Funk | praise be to the broccolini |
| 2024-09-16 13:51 | Quickblade | Im just a nostalgia junkie |
| 2024-09-16 13:51 | Hippo | go back to doing crossfit funk and run afk like your broccoli lords intended |
| 2024-09-16 13:51 | Victory | :P |
| 2024-09-16 13:51 | Victory | hey! i resemble that remark! |
| 2024-09-16 13:51 | Funk | wow, i'm offended |
| 2024-09-16 13:51 | Siveril | I think most people still playing this style of game in 2024 are probably it goons of some sort who have too much free time at work :P |
| 2024-09-16 13:51 | Quickblade | not being allowed to smash woith 2xhit weapons is awful |
| 2024-09-16 13:50 | Hippo | smash is great as a round opener but I guess people don't see "6x OBLIT" and think it's valuable |
| 2024-09-16 13:50 | Lupee | HIPPO: I used to smash on my bzk all the time until double hit - order to get that bloodlust kill |
| 2024-09-16 13:49 | Quickblade | Im terrible at computers and I get by, so everybody can |
| 2024-09-16 13:49 | Lupee | your mud client is written in C, C++, or java - the bar of "you must know how to fix it to use it" is a bit too high for most of you... |
| 2024-09-16 13:49 | Hippo | people could use smash or bash a lot more than they do as well |
| 2024-09-16 13:49 | Ryoki | since you get pre-round damage now, and you get the diversity bonuses |
| 2024-09-16 13:49 | Quickblade | write your own stuff |
| 2024-09-16 13:49 | Hippo | jari does quite well |
| 2024-09-16 13:49 | Quickblade | if you cant fix the scripts then you shouldnt use them |
| 2024-09-16 13:49 | Siveril | c is what the server runs on, no need to understand it for clients |
| 2024-09-16 13:49 | Ryoki | Yep, but I think you can get better exp with a tank, one archer, a rogue, and a psi or a second archer. |
| 2024-09-16 13:48 | Siveril | I have used zero c in my scripts..almost all high level languages, zscript and some java |
| 2024-09-16 13:48 | Hippo | but you aren't penalized for having a different group comp either |
| 2024-09-16 13:48 | Hippo | yeah you can still get good xp with 3 archers, great xp honestly |
| 2024-09-16 13:48 | Ryoki | Frankly, I really enjoy that you can get more exp by making a more diverse group now vs just a tank and 3 archers like the 'good old days' |
| 2024-09-16 13:48 | Lupee | a little too heavy handed. I doubt we're all C/C++ coders, so if our mud client breaks and we cna't fix it - then we shouldn't use it? that seems extreme. in the worst case - we should still be able to play without triggers and without a super client. |
| 2024-09-16 13:48 | Siveril | people disseminate these script packages then I have to lead groups running 3 different script packages most of the users have no understanding of, while they're paying almost zero attention. It's great. |
| 2024-09-16 13:47 | Quickblade | if you cant fix it when it breaks you shouldnt use it |
| 2024-09-16 13:47 | Lupee | like, I don't need to know how to build an off road truck in order to drive one, but I better have full understanding of the capabilities of it, and the knowledge and experience not to make it do things that I'm unsure about. |
| 2024-09-16 13:46 | Siveril | outside of multiday I use a lot less automation than most so I can have fine control over what I am actually doing |
| 2024-09-16 13:45 | Maxine | but, I don't know how to script.. guess I can just do it all manually like a telnet scrub |
| 2024-09-16 13:45 | Quickblade | I have terrible triggers and dont really work, but at least I wrote them all myself |
| 2024-09-16 13:45 | Lupee | I'm fine if you run the scripts you didn't write - as long as you know how it works and disable the things that you don't understand. |
| 2024-09-16 13:45 | Quickblade | word. |
| 2024-09-16 13:45 | Siveril | I just have zero respect for people who run scripts they didn't write |
| 2024-09-16 13:45 | Quickblade | rip can solo ok because heal-bots exist |
| 2024-09-16 13:45 | Lupee | I'm still annoyed about the "I didn't make a mistake in the zone.. it was my triggers that I didn't write - it's their fault. it's the fault of the script creator! not me!" |
| 2024-09-16 13:44 | Quickblade | for non-rip melee not so much |
| 2024-09-16 13:44 | Hippo | I heroed this, I started tanking at hero 1, I'm not having any issues even if I'm not busting out 15k hero runs |
| 2024-09-16 13:44 | Quickblade | for casters sure |
| 2024-09-16 13:44 | Ryoki | You just have to be creative/learn different areas. |
| 2024-09-16 13:44 | Ryoki | There's effective ways to get exp solo, in a duo/trio/+ |
| 2024-09-16 13:44 | Lupee | heh |
| 2024-09-16 13:44 | Siveril | you could do what lasher did and just take over all the mud ranking sites so yours is always #1 :P |
| 2024-09-16 13:44 | Quickblade | lead yourself and more selective aka sit in sanc and endlessly spam hero |
| 2024-09-16 13:43 | Lupee | there are a few new players. I'm not sure I agree with the "here's your new player welcome kit and mudlet script package, now just log in and collect loots and xp. don't worry if the stuff on the screen doesn't make sense..." |
| 2024-09-16 13:43 | Siveril | somebody mentioned that we could get a steam ad for a nominal one time fee on a forum once, not sure if that'd help |
| 2024-09-16 13:43 | Hippo | old text heads are a commodity and there are only so many to go around |
| 2024-09-16 13:43 | Ryoki | easiest way to stop people 'forcing you to carry them' is to lead yourself and be more selective |
| 2024-09-16 13:43 | Hippo | nod |
| 2024-09-16 13:43 | Siveril | gonna be kind of hard to market a 30 year old text game to new players I guess |
| 2024-09-16 13:43 | Quickblade | I borught my roommate in! |
| 2024-09-16 13:42 | Hippo | barely get anyone new |
| 2024-09-16 13:42 | Hippo | and yet the only people that get brought in are "friends and family" who just end up being afk shell bots |
| 2024-09-16 13:42 | Quickblade | or let everybody die and cry about getting a CR |
| 2024-09-16 13:42 | Siveril | some of the friction at lord is also because everyone wants a big sor who can solo without realising it takes years to level them to that point, unless you're mizuno |
| 2024-09-16 13:42 | Quickblade | previously you could group to tackle big chellenges, but now people group to force you to carry them |
| 2024-09-16 13:42 | Lupee | number of players have gone downhill dramatically |
| 2024-09-16 13:41 | Quickblade | The quality of groups has gone downhill dramatically |
| 2024-09-16 13:41 | Ryoki | petition to implement Game Genies on AVATAR |
| 2024-09-16 13:41 | Maxine | nod, can I just create an alt at level 125 (1) pls |
| 2024-09-16 13:41 | Quickblade | Youre being hyperbolic but yes |
| 2024-09-16 13:41 | Manic | can i also have perma hog, pls? |
| 2024-09-16 13:41 | Lupee | the only reason bzk shouldn't quaff / pill for frenzy is due to lag prevents rescue. but in a pinch, yeah. |
| 2024-09-16 13:41 | Hippo | and a lord |
| 2024-09-16 13:41 | Hippo | :'( |
| 2024-09-16 13:41 | Ryoki | Let's just make sure that all classes do maximum damage output, have maximum survivability, and require no intervention/planning/communication to be as strong as possible at all times, mkay? |
| 2024-09-16 13:40 | Siveril | it's so easy that even boar has superhero dragons these days |
| 2024-09-16 13:40 | Quickblade | not so much easier as less inconvenient |
| 2024-09-16 13:40 | Hippo | "make the game easier" it's already the absolute easiest this game has ever been |
| 2024-09-16 13:40 | Victory | even that can be prepared for. on my bzk's i get sanc insig and farm frenzy pills |
| 2024-09-16 13:40 | Ryoki | then what would be the downside? |
| 2024-09-16 13:40 | Hippo | just farm crab meat and wafers |
| 2024-09-16 13:40 | Quickblade | honestly bzk should be allowed to scar for sanc/frenz at hero too |
| 2024-09-16 13:39 | Siveril | been a long time since I had to use locate object to see which areas were populated heh |
| 2024-09-16 13:39 | Ryoki | Same was true here a long time ago. |
| 2024-09-16 13:39 | Manic | casting frenzy on myself lags me soooo much |
| 2024-09-16 13:39 | Siveril | when we had more aardwolflike counts, like several hundred players online not on a multiday, there was also a lot more choice of what kind of group you'd like..and a lot more competition for mobs |
| 2024-09-16 13:39 | Lupee | bzk is pretty much the only one that should be allowed to ask for sanc/frenzy, b/c they're rescuing and shouldn't be in lag. |
| 2024-09-16 13:38 | Lupee | also, if you can't cast sanc, then have wafers, if you don't have moves, then wear 7 leagues and endurance, have roots, if you have less than 1k hps, then wear hp gear - spending all the time CRing folks taht didn't come prepared - that's frustrating. If they don't care - then why should I? |
| 2024-09-16 13:37 | Maxine | I just find it breeds afk'ers and they get to lord and do the same thing.. as Siveril mentioned hard to balance a group at lord that way |
| 2024-09-16 13:37 | Ryoki | QB - some leaders do, some do not. |
| 2024-09-16 13:37 | Siveril | I'm just not a fan of followig other people for grouping generally I guess |
| 2024-09-16 13:37 | Quickblade | they get offended if you try to being your crap lowhero instead of your superhero tank |
| 2024-09-16 13:37 | Maxine | yeah, true |
| 2024-09-16 13:36 | Summasault | no one is offended if you don't join a public EHA. |
| 2024-09-16 13:36 | Lupee | I'm a big fan of the sniper mobs at the start of sems, weeding out the smols... |
| 2024-09-16 13:36 | Xykoi | the great thing is, you can run with a big eha group, or not run run with a big eha group, its your choice! :D |
