Elveron

Once again, another fun invasion, with something for everyone! Good job Mortos!

It has rocked so far. thanks for including players at ALL levels in the invasion!

If nobody bids higher, can we start bidding down? :-)

Annatira and Ilobypie, Thanks for the great tour! I've been to C2 a few times, using up those C2 rings for the bag race that I had left over. I found a few neat things, and had some folks show me other secrets, but I learned about some things that have been right under my nose all this time! Great tour, I'm looking foward to the icy tour, too!

I LOVE the oldschool map! No rostos! You wanna hang in TD, get yourself a pair made of granite, don your dragon set and whatever tit glowing magic flame frozen serpent orc killer of destruction you like, let out a barbaric yawp (RAWR!) and go threaten anything that moves. I'd spend a lot more time in TD if the bagspawns were sometimes AwsuM. Oh, look, a rare stone spawn! Make sometimes rarely, but enough to attract fresh meat deep into TD. See you there! with my ehanced wooden shield and a bone! I'll be the dwarf grabbing pots, cash, fruit and HE's, shamelessly and fearlessly! Bring it! Also, this thread got a little hijacked into a geeky 'how many points of a/d = +1 coord or some lame junk like that. You know how you tell which is better? lol EDIT: BTW I earned 8000 exp while writing this post. too close to storage, easy peasy for mixers to mix without cooldown! yeh and what would that mean? mixers go there to mix, pkers come there to kill them, mixers get guildies as backup = let the huge pk massacre begin. ffs thats the point of it. you dont understand me, they will abuse that 5 sec time when they enter the area and they will eat with no cooldown and step outside to safe area and mix mix mix, than in again, and out , and so on. So no pk only a big crowdness at both entrace to that pk place. Pretty hard to abuse that lack of cooldown when your a/d 10/10 p/c 4/4 hiney gets smacked by the alert PK'er the second you step foot in the zone. Course, I know there's some mixers out there who can lay the smackdown, but you'll recognize them as the ones seated in the middle of the arena, mixing, with a great big case of 'come over here and call me a weak mixer'. Go get'em tiger!

Hi, Elveron the 2-week warrior here, weighing in on something I don't much understand. PK is fun, I get that. Losing your db is not fun (I've experienced that). Regarding PK maps, you go there, you take the risk. If you lose, you lose. On the other hand, I explored every inch of TD one night, wearing steel chain, augmented leather pants, boots, iron helm, moon medallion, bp cloak, and tit ls, and I saw NOBODY (with like 12/12 a/d)! I gathered potions and small change to my heart's content. (Yay for MM perk). That was the bulk of my net worth in EL that night, so I was pretty much risking it all (or was I). Some players complain about the lack of PK, it seems, yet, I can own TD for a night, Imbroglio Islands PK for about an hour (asking in @4 how to get out, and nobody came running to waste me), some unknown period of time in whichever C2 wasteland has a pk fort with tunnels underneath, a pk tavern (cool!), and no challenge. I've been killed exactly once in KF, and the PK'er let me come get my bag (it was full of flowers, because I'd filled each inv slot with one flower as a prize to whoever downed me). If I were strong, I'd have PK'd the noob that came back for that bag, and told him to stay off my map. OK, moving on. Training arenas are needed. TS is LAME. Graduate. When it's not really a challenge anymore, if you're afraid to step out with the sharks, you're just sad. Like a big 8th grader hanging around the 5th graders, beating them up, because he's afraid to try fighting a freshman. Yep, you lose some fights, that's how you grow. Maybe there needs to be some gaps, I guess the oldschoolers know where the level breaks are - which level range is impossible to get out of, seems like you'll never OA, and could come up with a good consensus. Sure, arenas near sto are great. 'porting all over trying to find just one person to fight sucks. Does everyone know Gossip will do a PK matchmaker service. I hear it takes a while to find a match, but maybe you all aren't using it enough. I don't know about WSA, but NC is a great location, and KF is too. It would be interesting to see SKF turn PK for a while. I use it to go from NC to DP a bit, and making it dangerous would change the face of things a bit. Plus that river running through it gives PK armies a reason to TTR into a fight, or out, could be interesting. A small viewing arena in all PK maps is cool, like the two platforms in II. Might be hard to get to, and out of (#beam ftw) but it gives some of us a chance to really see PK happen without having to spend extra time at the beam getting healed. A part of the chat tonight centered on hydro. I don't know where it is, but I understand it's tough to get to, takes TTR, and the mine area is PK (awesome!), which makes hydro's high cost worth it. Getting hydro is obviously a team project, not something a couple of noobs who maxed their inorganic nexus can just waltz in and take. There are tricks, I hear, like invisibility, but really, you need a team, and that's what guilds are for. Bring your badasses, your harvers and your makers and go get some serious loot for your guild. Anyone moaning about the amount or location of the current PK situation (meaning, they say there's too much) either needs to find their resources elsewhere, go the long way, get tough and be ready to fight for your whatever, or take the risk, sneak in, grab what you need and sneak or beam out. I'll never kill Scotty, he's way too cool. Scotty's in my pocket, no worries about a ring, I go where I please (doesn't work in TD, didja know? ) and either fight, run or die. I can understand about wanting to consolidate some of the PK, but hey, work on your communiation. Establish @PK say number 666 or something, I don't know. Jump in the chan, setup a meet, and go beat the hell out of each other. Why waste a single ess or ring? As far as PKer's 'being dicks', it's a PK map, you assumed the risk when you went in. Sure it's not fun to get hammered down, and you lose your bag, but maybe get yourself a guild, and go in packing some backup. Find out who's there, and talk to them, ask for guidance in lvling and learning PKstyle. Maybe even ask for your bag back. Some PK'ers wil lol stfu you and keep your stuff, others will give it back, and kill you again! Shame on you for falling for it. It's just a game, have fun. I plan on getting killed hundreds of times, I'm not afraid. Anyone wants to challenge me, bring it. I'll show naked with a bone and an inventory full of flowers, but I'll show. If I get 100 def exp, yay. But I will only come to TD, so leave your rostos at home. Better yet, bring a dozen! Eventually I'll take them! :-) All your cries of stfu n00b will be met with a cheery 'yup, we all have to start somewhere'. Every single one of you was a n00b once, you paid your dues, now I'll pay mine. I know that I don't know st00fs, but I'm learning. Sure wish I could get Lenny to kill me once. I'm getting a bit tired of wandering C2 all alone at night, when I could be working on another OA.

And of course, the Black Rose could be in any category, yes? I'm looking forward to it, and hope that I've got the time off.

Thanks a bunch for putting it on! I had a great time and was lucky enough to be first once in each round! The 10,000 gc coins were all spent on books and I spent the whole next day just reading and reading.
