Maybe some of you have the knowledge to memorize what rooms are going to have aura and what aren't, but chances are by the time I've hit path find goto I'm already hovering over the killswitch, too. It's silly to have to sort of lose your initiative and do this friendly aura check before actually fighting - in an area that is heightened and primed for fighting at the moment.
It just seems like a really meh way to sort of administratively halt a fight until perfect conditions are met. That isn't reality.
Either way, I'm not exactly raging here. Just didn't know any other avenue to approach it really, and it doesn't deserve it's own thread.
edit: And I'm not trying to be griefy here, or a troll or anything. I mean, if you just say, "Hey I don't 1on1 fight' or 'hey, I'm just here for the lesser' or even just run away or say stop, I'd probably stop 9/10 times. It's the 'No aura, neener neener' thing that frustrates me.
Running is valid. And if one Rashar walks into the room swinging his dirk clumsily, I'm -pretty- sure you'll get away if you don't want to fight. It's the whole, 'I'm going to sit here and spam 'say no aura' because lol I was 2 rooms too far or whatever.
Meh. Just a different philosophy, I guess.
Are you bloody serious.
I -just- drained my globe and Aet kicks me.
These things are too damned expensive for this to work like this.
If I don't have aura, I'm not fighting you.
And if you're the type of player that would actually worry about the XP loss at a lesser, you're not a player I'd be targeting anyway. Irrelevant maybe, but eh. I'm not trying to hunt down pre-endgame people or people who are just trying to learn or participate, here.
I just sort of figure if you're a combatant and poking around in an area with a lesser ( especially when the lesser is like, halfway over, there have been several engagements, who the hell knows who has an aura, etc ) you're fair game.
Anyway, I guess I misunderstood how scent worked, or how lessers worked anyway. I thought scent just sniffed players in your area, and the unstable was the whole area. Not that that really changes how I feel about the subject, but it is what it is.
You use Dhuriv Spinecut on Koari.
With perfect aim, you place the blade right next to Koari's spine at the level of her heart. Jerking the dhurive sideways you efficiently sever the nerves as well as the major arteries and watch as the light fades from her eyes.
You have slain Koari.
Defeated, Koari is cast out of the Arena.

Rage at the amount of time it took me to perfect this and actually pull it off properly, wtb trans'd vision so I don't have to guess. x.x
Progress, @Angwe!
Also Spinecut kill line sucks

Edit: ahaha, it's up to 10 of you. Seriously.
PS. -Plenty- of lifers who aren't AFK that didn't show up. Also only turns into drama when you come to the forums like this about it.

Edit: You also had Ashmer and Catty. The mixed city group confused a bunch of other people so more came in. I don't know at what point they came in (if it was because we were endgames who showed up?), but without a bit more communication, it seemed like just a mixed Spines and BL group so mixed folk came in.
10+ people running in to roll me and 3 newbs (and yes, like 3 people from Bl drifted in after the deathsights) is just meh.
Faairly certain Roland and Ashmer showed up before most of those lifers.
Faairly certain neither of those are Carnifex.
Let's just not do it this time, @moirean. It failed already.
Edit: And some of us logged in after the initial shouting, so...weren't sure what was going on.
Thus, "Hey I'd like to get some noob conflict going on to get them introduced, got some noobs to bring and let's keep it small?" would go a long way so that we're all on the same page. The problem here was we didn't have that communication - and just as people from BL drifted in after deathsights, so did folk from Duiran. It happens. It doesn't mean it's the end all be all, just next time let's try to coordinate a bit better so we can get some good stuff out of it.
This repeatedly happens. Unless something is done to give us smaller-scale options or limit the escalation, this will keep happening, and keep destroying any interest in generating conflict.
Edit: But I think you do have a valid point regarding conflict escalation. Or rather, the problem with conflict in Aetolia. As it stands, people aren't willing to tell people not to do things. There is a rather disturbing trend on both sides of the game to demonize players and to talk like making the -player- feel like crap is a good thing to do. With the current situation, as people have said, when bloodloch people showed up Enorian's people weren't inclined to say 'don't come' to Duiran's.
