Next Update - SO MUCH DEATH

[cpas]

My 'misinterpretation' stems from the fact that your first sentence ends with, 'Then this may not be the place for you.'. Kind of set me off a bit. It's just heavy handed and a bit rude imho. I'm not going to get semantic with you and break it down because, frankly there is nothing to be gained. Regardless, I'll be taking another break. That didn't take long.

Cynical realism is the intelligent man's best excuse for doing nothing in an intolerable situation.

I think using a Huxley quote about the dangers of fascist government and citizen apathy to win a forum debate where you had a minor disagreement with someone's tone is a little bit like swearing a blood oath against your neighbor because he rolled his eyes at you.

But that's just like, my opinion, man.

Well, bye.

Impending Godwins.

Shit just got real.

(Also I only pvpd Dain while he was AFK because I was dared to.)

Wow, I really wasn't trying to be threatening. I was just mentioning an aspect of low vitality that was being ignored, PvP. I am sorry if it sounded like a death threat, but I was really just trying to say that it's a bad idea for anyone to go afk to regen vitality, especially if you are in the "permadeath dangerzone" of vitality <= 30.

Ya'll need to calm down.

... also is anyone else noticing lag or is it just me? Wondering if it might be server lag related to all that fire and nonsense in the spine or if it might be something hardware related on my end (or just bandwidth issues what with the long weekend).

Oh and as for the topic at hand, I've yet to die since its implementation. I actually have literally no experience with how it works. For anyone saying its to hard on melee characters I call bunk. My latest is now level 10, I started him roughly a week and half ago, haven't died yet and am happily soloing the spine, the Sleth caves and bandits around Aquor. It really is just a lack of caution. We're a perma death server now (even if it is extraordinarily hard to perm IMO), treat it like one and build accordingly or die with no one to blame but yourself.

There's pretty much nothing holding a melee character back from fighting his way to level 14 smoothly alone, which is pretty forgiving all things considered (and in spite of my gripes with caster balance).

How precisely are you melee, out of curiosity? No spells at all? There's a slight exception in difficulty for the DD's that pop up DR 10, too.

See how you get on past level 14. I'm also curious about your gear.

[Twisted-Indoctrine]

I don't want to derail this particular thread further. I can maybe fire off a few builds or whatever in PM to ya as well as some of the better places and area strategies for non-caster soloing (assuming you're not a rogue... Frankly I know nothing about rogues on the server and I'm more tempted to do an archer next instead). When I'm done walking around looking cool in darksteel as usual (best looking stock armor in the game... and looking cool is the most important thing of all).

[GodBeastX]

Monsters and encounter difficulty is being redone across the server. It hasn't been done yet because it's a big place with only a couple devs able to do it who are also doing Reallife stuff too

Some places are harder than they should be, some easier, some just right, but will all get redone anyway because we learned alot since, you know, the first time we created a spittlefist

But you might want to relax a bit if you're dying. Remember, getting LOW vitality makes you more susceptible to dying. Might want to wait til it's higher, like 60+

Is there a way on a temple resurrection to have it look at the dead PC's vitality before taking the resurrection fee? I brought a PC known to Ryland back to the temple to be raised and Abbot Proskus took the fee. The PC was not raised because it crossed the 0 vitality threshold. It would be nice if a line could be added that said something like, I am sorry but your friend is beyond our help instead of losing the stags for nothing.
