Twinblades713 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Man this is getting pretty goshdarn harsh. Is it intended to drive everyone away? Honestly and 100% no offense... but it's too hard to live, to survive... and the regular answer is to use that "quit" tool. >.< How much longer eh?

Icor Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 It'll take an inhuman amount of optimism, but I'll get through this plot. With as little quitting out as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajwetton Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 The couple new Knights have been busy gettin their ***es kicked by the 3 or so nexus minimum the game must have to stay up because their always on. I have seen one of the knights that was in before my character got in. I only know of two that are around right now. And its abit frustrating trying to do something 3vs1 which is what happens. Not a flame just fact. But my character is abit ticked that theres never any other knights on at the moment. Edit: And in reguards to the plot neat idea love the implemented npc's but can we move it along its honestly got me to the point i wanna just quit till its over because its such a pain to play, its becoming more of a job to get to do anything with my character than playing a game which should be relaxing. And I already have 1 job, I shouldn't come home to a second one thats supposed to be relaxing. Like i said, love the idea, hate the way it makes the game feel to me.

Grosek_ Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 There is other stuff going on, but it seems like few are trying to get involved. Just a reminder folks, but if you get a note and its not from an immortal, it could still contain fragments of something interesting to follow up with. Also, Heralds, do you HEAR all of the misinformed people right now? Get on the ball, people! There are like 3-4 of you, and it is like pulling teeth trying to get you to scribe anything you didn't initiate sometimes. Most of the world is relying on you to pass information on or to help expedite the plotline to some extent! Get something going, hell. If you really wanted to you could really modify things as you see fit. You control the information! Sometimes being strictly immortal-reactionary really limits things to pretty static storyline.

ajwetton Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Yea i prefer my soul, Or i could just not play theres that option, and wait till the whole things passed, which honestly is where i'm leanin, I love the game but the forum community is becoming less desirable to read overall, and the game itself as i said is becoming more of a Job. And how bout this an RP plot where something good happens instead of us getting screwed over which seems to happen with each one that I can recall since i've been here. While i like a nice death and destruction plot with out anything on the side of the scale its gets mundane in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudder Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Dude... A plot with goodies against evil.. That would get boring. Quick. EDIT: Actually I would roll an evil just to go against it. Lol. But I think the majority would just stop playing evils and roll goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwetton Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Well we have a larger Evil Pbase right now anyway, i log on with my pin goodie and see like 6-7 people that can kill me vs 2 or 3 that can help me. It'd be nice to not be on the short end of the stick once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-guitarist Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I'm with Aj and Mya here, I love the plot, love having them, they're great. But when my lowbie walks through town and I get four Torments that come in and tell me I'm spared by the Demon Lord, it's scary as hell and I don't want to rank to 30. Hell, I hear about people getting two rounded in their mid twenties (When torments killed people below 30) by one Torment, what am I gonna do at 30 with four of them attacking me at once? Yeah, I do understand that it's a rare case for more than one to jump you at a time. But, this is The Forsaken Lands, not the "I'm sure happy everyone hugs" lands. So, I fully well love that when I sign in I'm probably going to die. It bleeds the story along. I just want a fighting chance (sub 50) without having to forgo everything I wanted my character to become. (Ie: getting the mark) I'm sure there is a way to take care of all this, and I'll be looking for it in game. I just have to get to a point where I can do something about it other than bitch. Other than Death and Destruction plots, what else is there that will get the whole game involved? I was in that boat, "Bah, another end of the world thing? Crap..." then I tried to think of one that everyone could be part of that didn't involve the death of billions of mortals... hrm. "The Heralds have lost their favorite Tea set! We must find it!", "Global Warming! We must stop the industrialization of Aabahran! Quick, take up office and pass legislation to prevent the Dragon and Dune Seas from over taking the coast lines!" Eh... you've seen how much press Global Warming gets in the real world... a ton. But the problem is, how much action? About none. Imagine a bunch of people in a text based game trying to pass laws and legislation, in said game, to make it a Greener Aabahran? Hrm, maybe a Lawful Gnome in Tarandue who wants to hold Brambus Accountable for his crimes against nature... polluting the plains, the rivers down by the flying Citidel (they are down hill form Tarandue...) and ruining the Eco System of the Dark Dwarf Forest.... okay, now I'm starting to sound like Deykari in RP ideas. a-g Hell, we could even have Farmer Jim claim that the taint on his Apples are from Brambus to move the plot along, then a wise adventurer can find out what really happened to the apples and start a trial, then the world can splinter as to if the Lawful Gnome is on a witch hunt because Brambus stole his childhood sweetheart, Brambina, only to knock her up and leave her for one of his mechanical creations. Then on top of that, the Lawful Gnome can go on a rampage, trying to blow up Mt. Khorandian in order to change the flow of the Jet Stream around Aabahran to right the wrongs of the Dark Dwarf Forest... and he could start a whole crusade that will cause millions of people to fight a war. Then the Heralds will find out that destroying the Mountain will end the world, of with the Lawful Gnome will deny it, too caught up in his own propaganda and Aabahran will have to unite to save the world from some Crazy Gnome who wants to get back at Brambus for boinking his woman...

ajwetton Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Yea i'm honestly up for anything that moves this along, I've quit playing one character because i don't want him takin extra stupid deaths because he does get jumped by 4 of them. its happened twice already. I don't play my healer because they lead with corruption which is a blasphamey for communers and when, not if that happens but when it happens i'm going to die. because they track rediculously fast and theres always a crap ton of them around. And i'm losin momentum on yet a third character because of the same thing, i've spent time lookin with all three characters and haven't found anything. But i'll keep lookin i suppose, I just want SOMETHIN to happen soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudder Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 The Torments don't actually track. They "appear" in the same room as you. So no matter how far you run. They WILL get you. You have to kill them... Or learn this trick I am about to tell you. If a torment attacks you. Flee. Then don't move. The torment will enter the room then immediately look for someone else to kill. It's not failproof, but it can save your ***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 You can actually outrun them. They don't appear in your room unless you're within 'range' of them. They seem to move akin to a 'blink' spell, whereby instead of consistently moving one room at a time, they will jump 7 or 8 rooms in short bursts. If you keep moving quickly, you will outrun them.

And Dey, i do that but when your not communing and have permanent sanc it sucks when they hit you a crap ton it sucks. I tried the run far away thing till they seemed to be every where every time lol. sucks big time when your like I GOT AWAY I GOT AWAY! smashed in the face by another one. Oh the joys of these npcs. Did i mention how i hate the fact they see through hidden lol. I just died again btw with my non communer not seein the flee and sit still thing work nor the run as faraway as you can thing work any other ideas?

Zhokril Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 To clarify a few things: The plot is not meant to be impossible for players to the point where they cannot do anything other than attempt to feed themselves, or run away from torments. However, that being said, this is not meant to be a light inconvenience that can be ignored or "dealt with" so that normal play can continue. The intent is to force you to action. The fact is there was more than one path this plot could have taken, as Malchaeius even warned about beforehand, and most of the playerbase ignored it for 6 months real time. We are willing to work with you, but we are not going to do the work for you. We have been testing/watching the severity of things, so look out for some tweaks in that regard.
