    I took Godless at about lvl 25, as i didnt realise you could serve 3 gods. i thought it was just one, (must not have read whatever i was supposed to read). So when i weighed it up, it was well worth it. Now i regret it, but i dont want to reset at lvl 41. Just have to live with it i suppose. I can see it getting much more of a burden at later levels though.

     

    I like Ruln's mathematical approach. it makes me feel better about taking the perk :P

    Personally i think the use of the terms depends entirely on the view of the other person. Regardless of how the new player acts.

     

    This is more of a general game experience and may not be as prevailent in EL, but people who understand what its like, and care ahout new players call them "newbies", and people who could give a toss, and think a lot of themselves, with no time for anyone who doesnt know what they are doing, call them "n00bs", which i feel is more of a derogatory term than a shortname for a new player.

     

    This is just a personal opinion, and like i said, it doesnt really apply in EL as much as other games i have played, as n00b is more of a generally accepted term in EL. I've just been flamed for being a "stupid n00b" in EVERY game i have ever played and i dont understand why people feel the need to be offensive towards new players.

     

    yours sincerely, a n00b

    Camping and killing is boring, but walking around and killing is boring too...

     

    Oh yeah, that's why games where all you do is walk/run around and kill stuff, like Quake3, UT2004 and Doom3 will never reach 400 players ;)

     

    All those above are stupid shooters games... they are not even comparable to EL. You don't have there to make any lvls to do better things... just take weapon and shot... duh, so primitive...

     

    Stupid shooters with thousands of servers and tens of thousands of players ? Yeah, all stupid people obviously.....

     

    I'm a big UT player and you're right that its not comparable to EL. Its killing for the sport that requires reaction, coordination, and tactics. But perhaps this isnt the right thread to be rubbishing games that you dont like....

     

    Killing in EL is for a different reason. Its no different from taking the path of an alchemist, or a manufacturer, its just working with different materials to increase the power of your character.

     

     

    "people around are talking about realism in game...that stupid, if you want realism remove all those fantasy things in game and make EL medieval Sims :S"

     

    Why is realism stupid? Any game is a mixture of fantasy and realism, and the more realistic you make a fantasy, the more attractive it becomes.

    Perhaps a new poll is called for - to include the option to impletment at a later date with a tracking system, and also perhaps combine the poll on this with the random ore spawns possibility, as maybe both should be implemented in the same way to balance the game.

    I remember it like it was only yesterday......

     

    On my first day i sat in the IP tavern wondering what the hell to do, for about 2 hours. Then i killed a load of rabbits, made 60 gold, and then some arse named Legolas_Genian convinced me to buy 2 suphur from him for 60 gold. After realizing i had been scammed i was pretty pissed off, and was about to quit the game, but then a guy named Otenko took pity on me and tooled me up with some armour for free, and gave me some advice. My faith in humanity was restored. I have been addicted to EL ever since then.

     

     

    P.S. if anyone ever sees Legolas_Genian, PK him for me will ya?

    A solution: randomize all but Cyclops and stronger. You cant afk on those anyway, it will keep 'powerplayers' happy and all those who vote 'yes' (and are probably doing goblin) will be happy too. Its a 'challenge' enough to level after 80/80 attack/defence

    I like this solution.

     

    I am one of those people "doing goblin" and it would keep me happy. Fighting is not my main aim, but i do want to get into it, and the thought of standing in one place next to a bunch of other people waiting for a spawn just doesnt attract me to being a fighter. i can understand why higher level fighters would get annoyed with the prospect of making their life harder. i didnt want the ore spawns randomized because that would make my life harder, so its the same for fighters i suppose.

    Definately.

     

    I'm not really a fighter, but i do intend to level up fighting skills at some point. I dont fight anything but wolves at the moment, and the whole standing around the wolf spawn in VOTD and arguing over wolves is just dumb. Everything about EL is based on trying to create a more realistic world and this is another step towards it.

    I love the tavern idea.

     

    When i get tired of harvesting or making whatever i'm making, i often just wander into a tavern to have a sit down and a chat. i then immediately walk back out again as there is never, ever, anyone in there, in any tavern anywhere. I usually end up at the IP campfire listening to an NH patiently explain to newbies that you cant eat bones, and they cant have a free sword. Market channel has more offtopic chat than any tavern as far as i can tell. It would be great to have a reason to sit in there.

     

    Why not make ale drinkable too :P
