So this thread is useless 198047[/snapback] The Mods were VERY VERY vague about what monsters where attacking. THey just said "pirates" i have no ideas what they meant about that and when to inspect portland if they had announced that pirates were armed gobs then i would have beamed instantly to ip and sat there till it was all over. How was i supposed to know not to fight if they are not clear on what monsters are attacking? Nik0n= meanie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drakos7 Report post Posted September 18, 2005 (edited) Not sure what the problem was. I have a/d of like 26/24. I put on my steel armor, shield, helm, and cuisses, snatched my tit short sword (that is the best I have), grabbed a load of HEs and went out expecting cyclopses. Managed to kill my very first Troll (barely). Don't whine about vaguery. Stay near the ship/buildings if you do not know what to expect. Duh! BTW: I only got a lousy 4gc from the Troll.

Brom Report post Posted September 19, 2005 (edited) Im sorry this happened. But their are casualties in invasions Here is Brom's miniguide on how to stay alive during an invasion. 1) Leave the map where invasions are going to happen. IP will always be safe from invasions. 2) Put everything in storage except what you can lose during invasions and fight! 3)Stay next to buildings so that if something comes along you know will kill you, Jump in that building and you will be safe. Just like real life. 4)Stay away from Moderators, They are commonly the eyes for invasions and things will happen around them 5)Stick with the monsters you know, You can get swamped by multiples of the same creature, they are mean in groups. 6)Stick with a group, This way when you come upon monsters you can spread out and not be attacked by too much at once. 7)Have friends/guildmates with you. So if you die, they can grab your things and flee! 8)Its all meant in fun, So HAVE FUN! Roleplay! Joke! Its a game! 9) Never be AFK with your character left outside. MM cape/perk will not protect you and you may come back to find yourself dead. Edited September 19, 2005 by Brom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MM cape/perk will not protect you and you may come back to find yourself dead. That didn't happen to me (this time), but I've been AFK in Portland before so it sure could have. That could be real sad for those who sit with their glowy-swords, AFK for hours at at a time on top of buildings in VotD. Can you imagine coming back to find yourself in the underworld with your plate and glowy gone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IP will always be safe from invasions. 198543[/snapback] I kinda want to refute this one, IP has been invaded before -maybe it won't be again (I really don't know). However, if you can easily defeat deer, there generally isn't a problem there either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So unless you just created a new character, you've probably got a good chance of surviving an invasion. Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dagar Report post Posted October 3, 2005 I have to make some comments here.... First, N1kon, he never said anything about it being anyone's fault. He simply was asking for help. I found your response to be unnecessarily beligerent. Second, twice I have seen fluffies on IP during an invasion, so the "get to IP to be safe" is a farce. I don't know why they say IP is safe during invasions, cause it just hasn't been the case. (I do think it should be safe, and hope this will change) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheDoctor Report post Posted October 3, 2005 I have a/d of like 26/24. Managed to kill my very first Troll (barely). 198060[/snapback] LMAO killed a troll at 26/24 thats the biggest load of BS i've ever heard in my life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brom Report post Posted October 3, 2005 It could have happened. If the player was EXTEMELY lucky and/or the troll was near dead. I killed trolls and male ogres and my stats are not great. 18/18/36/38 p/c/a/d Its more fun if you take a friend or 2 with you and go after large monsters in a multi-combat map Anyway, Roja has reassured me at least there will not be crazy invasions on IP. Perhaps beavers or something. But what would be the purpose of having 10 fluffies on IP? I get angry when people Summon fluffies on IP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
