Ankyrean Anguish - Aetolia-based RAGE

Rashar

I think @moirean is talking more mechanical stuff, but I'm going to throw my agree in here either way.

As for me, as far as RP goes I pretty much disregard a class being dormant as anything other than a game mechanic. I will RP ascendril / luminary / lycan stuff,because those are the classes I have and have been transcendent in for in game years at least. Even when I forgot Ascendril shit to free up a class, I RP'd it. Because really, you don't master something and then the next day not know how to do it because your brain just couldn't fit enough things in it.

Ishin

suggest senwick action sip health
Mana Lost: 50
You cannot force someone to do that.
Suggestion #0 makes no sense, Syssin.


This makes me want to take a bat and break things. What in the SHIT is this. I take a break, come back, and I can't action someone to SIP something? R U SRS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Areka

People were being forced to sip a special booze that'd p. much instakill you, or spam chugging the NPC-sold liquid steel to the point of dying, it became p. griefy and annoying. 

Daskalos

Dourif was forcing people to sip super high alcoholic drinks that instantly put you to pass out phase.

9.4.1 Antidotes

Many are the foul poisons in the land and the wise player doses himself
with small doses of these venoms in order to build resistance to them.  
This skill will do this; slowly strengthening your body's natural       
ability to ignore damage caused by venoms.                              

Those who are Transcendent in Antidotes gain the "Purge" ability, which
allows them to purge their body of the effects of alcohol, cactus weed  
and the ebrius serum. The syntax for this is PURGE BODY or PURGE        
SUBSTANCE.

Areka

Purge only does one level, and it doesn't work when one-to-two sips get you to blood poisoning. 

Ishin

...why do you people always feel the need to try and logic me when I get mad. IT DOESN'T FUCKING WORK. Just...let me be angry and vent, Jesus fucking Christ.

I RAGE AT ISHIN RAGING AT LOGIC

That's exactly what I mean. I think it would be cool if there were some cross-class mechanics in there to highlight your core class with stuff you've learned from others. Just flavor, ya know, but could be cool.

...All this Hulk business.  

My rage looks more like this.

Toz

Ok guys we've posted about the same thing 3 times in a row in the rage thread everyone stop raging before they come cart us off

Rivas

QUIT. BEATING. THIS. TO. DEATH.

Roux

Best series of rage posts ever.

I rage at never having enough haven points, rawr! I gather like, 20, and then they slowly dwindle down and I'm sitting there thinking, where the heck are they going!? Is someone eating them!!?

Daskalos

Sell you some.
Used Points: 118  Remaining Points: 69

Oh wait, we can't do that.

Alee

@Aarbrok the sailor moon ref

Also technically you can buy haven points... they are just stupidly expensive... and can't be bought from other players.

Evil evil tease of a game... >: (

I'll give you some of mine..... Seriously, I rage that there aren't more uses for haven points.

Irruel

You've also spent all the raceskill points you want?

Rou

Used Points: 93 Remaining Points: 2

All Raceskills and about 22 points in the Haven. I've always wanted to recreate Old Ashtan...


Today's Rages:
- Sniping garners no group xp during foci.
(Might as well remove the skill in all it's increasing uselessness.)

- Refunds for Hammer of Forging, please.
(Pretty sure it does nothing at all and I actually unlearn how to forge when using it.)

Aishia

Sniping is pretty powerful, but risk free. Can understand it not giving group exp. You're not really taking any of the risk involved in sharing it.

Moirean

It's not just sniping. If you kill someone and they run away and bleed to death or you catch them as they run with a meteor or a ranged hit, you still aren't getting credit unless you get the killing blow. Effective ranged attacks and smart movement are a big part of team PK. A lot of times if I get focused, I'll duck out of the room and actively keep up offensive pressure through archery or ents while recovering. It's silly that because you're playing more tactical and not just sitting there autobashing off a trigger call you end up with less xp. It's also teaching and encouraging dumb fighting tactics - someone who is alive is more valuable than someone who's not, but if you aren't going to get xp for good retreating, appropriate use of range and movement, people end up fighting zergish. People are doing things like arcing their entire team to tag everyone and spamming random AoEs just to try to rake in the xp, whereas people who do smart things like lock down a tertiary target are ending up with less xp for trying to be tactical. It's encouraging new fighters to fight dumb and it's stressful.

Ingram

It's low-risk. I've been tracked down quick enough while sniping during a group fight.

Ishin

Same here. @Ariadne and I think it was maybe @Teani(back when she was on team good derps) have done it to me a few times when they noticed me out sniping at a lesser or something. It really isn't hard. Squint each direction, or even farsee, then goto.

Riluo

@Rou what is with hammer it seems pretty meh these days. Did it get a bigger nerf that has not been mentioned. As I am pretty sure that racial, trans and hammer made no true improvement I could see. Have you had a similar issue?

Aishia

Well in either case it was not exactly a nerf, things still work like they worked before, experience wise. I think if it starts giving out exp at range it's going to create more problems than it solves.

Teani

@Ishin: I was in lycan. I used TRACK to pounce on you. It takes balance, but with stealth it can take a moment or two for the target to notice, where you regain balance and can start attacking.

Areka

Re Hammer: Sometimes the RNG gods are with you, sometimes they aren't. It shows  most doing armour and split-grade weaps.
