I dont give a shit what's done.

I want the game to be fun again, like it used to be.

It's no a game anymore, it's a chore.

and i had to play chanter AND warrior this wipe. cripes. shoulda just played druid

Grintor

displacement far superior to blur. only real advantage to blur in a zoning group is the -4spellave it gives you. hey, i'm all for every class having a role in a zone group, i'm NOT for every class being NEEDED to do a regular zone, like brass. with as many classes as there are to choose from, and th...

Grintor

if the paladin class, anti or regular, is the best tank in the game, i'd like evils to have them too.

Grintor

no illusionists were on

yet ANOTHER class mandatory for a zone? with the pbase being what it is?

Grintor

wow goodie enchanters blur during xp? i thought teyaha was the only one who actually cast the spell outside of a zone. all b/s aside, as teyaha i stone/blur/haste my tanks regardless of the xp. i dont believe in invokerchanter. not even a level 50 troll, spelled up like that, would tank those two mo...

Grintor

heh i went through something like this on toril as a druid, although i didnt have to mess with mana. are you near wd? can you shift me? can you shift me to my friends? i'm in ic yadda yadda... just let the clueless know that you are not their personal taxi. i'm sure if you ask them nice once they'll...

Grintor

ACtually i agree with you gormal. The changes that have been implemented since the original toril wipe have been based on a toril-like mud population: ie. 180 avg people on line. there's nowhere near that much now, and we need to bring more TYPES of characters to do even simple xp. now with guilds s...

*Why would you commit to a zone or a group KNOWING that it could get messy and take hours if you have to watch your kid or sleep or stuff like that? I understand emergencies and unexpected stuff..but dont commit if you cant finish...or let ppl know ahead of time what your limitations are instead of ...

Grintor

trolls are more agile than humans

Grintor

it's been my experience that my level 15 anti's charge goes off about 2 out of three attempts.

my warrior wasnt seeing that kind of consistancy till the skill was around 75 at level 39

Grintor

orc anti's would be a helluva lot of fun!

i vote orc anti's!

Grintor

anti's dont have xp bonuses/penalties like regular paladins.

i did a search on anti on the bbs. before beta and before the race was in, orcs were supposed to be anti's. didnt find any threads as to why that was changed.

Grintor

i requested it :P

must read fine print!

Grintor

Even with 1k hp wraiths brass was still a challenge. remember the group was easily over 15 people, most of them warriors+monks+rangers (depending on align), sorcs, clerics. heck we had globe assignes cause of all the hitters. and still the clerics had to pile on the fh's on the wraiths tanking. we d...

Grintor

welcome to the new sojourn wobb!

where you now need three times as many differnt classes in a group to zone or xp effectively, yet the pbase is half of what it used to be.

do like the rest of us and roll a paladin. they are the real tanks after all.

Grintor

*excerpt from icq* i tried to convince him to do sf but yssilk pops off with "sf easily a 5 hour zone" and i said no it's not if you know what you're doing then he says "we need real warriors for sf" and i got pissed off cause that's an insult to my abilities *end excerpt* basically they didnt want ...

Grintor

then a reply when i asked you if we doing sf would have been in order, instead of the silence and my having to read your response here.

you all can still do it. vassyr can lead it he knows the zone. i'm joinin cherzra on the other side :P

Grintor

well so much for that.

enough evils on, no one wants to do it.

that's just fucking sad. we had a leader who knew the zone on too

Grintor

ok ther's been a lot of talk about this, so here's what i propose. cherzra (or any level 50 troll warrior) wielding 2h weapon agasint any level 50 paladin wielding 2h mounted in arena. No hp gear allowed. best out of 10 or maybe the imms can do something to shut us up. make two mortals, one paladin ...

Grintor

keep in mind, none of us on the evil side, on any god damned side (why the fuck are there sides anyway? too much segregation..) want to see paladins downgraded. we want to see warriors able to do their job other than stand in front and hope to hell that person told to fh on entry makes qc or the who...

Grintor

Actually trolls cant solo that well, not compared to the anti i rolled. If it wasnt for my ebony longsword i'd still be stuck at level 20. yes i was fortunate to get it, but anything my level beat my ass down to nearly dead at level 20 once this 'bug' was fixed. this is true for any warrior, regardl...

Grintor

I'm sure everyone's seen it first hand. I also notice that no paladins, save one, are posting their stats on the thread i started last week. if anyone wants those triggers let me know. i hate cuting and pasting shit to the bbs. a paladin has innate PFE, which helps big time, can solo for insane numb...

Grintor

In no way should any other class out tank a warrior, mounted, flying, invisible, smoking a joint, wrapped in hot-pink christmas paper and tied with a bow..i dont give a rat's ass what it is, warriors ARE the tanks, and should be TANKS. Let's stop calling them tanks. they are fighters. they are the P...

Grintor

holy crap i forgot about the claw.

i'll still be there, provided no one asks me to play enchanter

Grintor

dagger of oblivion is not

a dagger named 'oblivion'

or

Oblivion, the necromantic dagger

or

Oblivion, the dagger of smack yo' mamma

it's just a dagger of oblivion, lowercase.

Grintor

Brog's axe was toril, not s2.

this is driving me nuts to lets clarify shall we?

There was:
Soj1
Toril
Soj2 (last wipe)
and now, Soj3

got it? thanks!

Grintor

Stop resurrecting old threats mori.

blung still playes, that thread is nearly 4 months old

Grintor

turxx it's fine the way it is.

keeps the game seperate while permitting resourceful individuals to make good money.

allows you to play good/evil alts if you wish withoug worrying about outcasting, which increases fun factor of the game.

Grintor

She's an evil race enchanter.
Just as I'm a troll.

Grintor

Even though i started this, i personally wont be there.

After having my enchanter go from 22% into 43 on sunday to losing over a full elvel of unrecoverable xp to now 18% into 42 has taken the fun out of the game completely.

Later

Heh i rolled troll warrior to have fun. I dont give two shits about the muds politics like i used to, even though i dont agree with about 90% of it. So blung, as i looked at the 'choose your race screen' the day the mud opened for beta i said to myself 'hrm ok done barbie warrior twice to 50, done d...

One more thing.. Even though we can take only 15 people themore that make an appearance the better. There will be deaths. Dont expect to not die at least 2-3 times depending on the group mix. I can see us ferrying folks back and forth as people drop off, and it would be nice to have the moral suppor...

We'll need you to lure wraiths, thran, with pets.

Grintor

almost forgot we need a squid too! as it's a daylight zone.

Grintor

Ok folks lets try something! this coming sunday (10/21) at 11am pst let's organize and do Southern Forest. This is a zone that literally would strke fear into the hearts of players who did it and it hasnt been done in a while. What we'll need: 1 - leader who's done it before (sok, vassyr, cherzra, j...

Grintor

One thing to keep in mind garg is that we no longer have a pbase of 250-300 people on at all times. with MMORPG's, many of the pbase having graduated college/grown up and have families and such some would rather just leave the corpse to rot and just not play anymore then get only 30 minutes sleep fo...

Grintor

No one person has come forward to lead all of the evils, and since the evil population has always only been enough for one zoning group a lot of folks got left out in the cold.

Ok, having had too much time on my hands with my car in the shop the last few days and nowhere to go (not even work), i expanded on the stat tracking triggers to also include tanking.

The evils are drying up.

There wasnt a single zoneable cleric on all day yesterday. Zoneable being no fail full heals.

Not one, and i was on 18 hours straight.

how about a search function. i wanted to look up some posts on anti's that may be around here and realized just how long that would prob take hehe.

a search function that returns links to posts containing specified keywords.

Ok let's put down here everthing that we warriors feel should be tuned/fixed. Please, i would prefer to NOT SEE any 'warrior dont need fixin' from those of you who dont play warriors full time.
