KRins Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Your first thought shouldn't be whether it is a test. The idea is not to try and "game the system" and figure out what has happened. You should roleplay your character and behave as it would having been denied something it wanted. Many players build their character on the idea that they will get this or that qrace/qclass and few would continue playing the character if they didn't. Be done with it and just make everything random after name and password. People roll a drow invoker, knowing full well they are trying to go Nexus or something. And our first thought shouldn't be it is a test? You literally said in this thread it was in fact a test, which I personally find quite disrespectful of klemkin's efforts, time, and partonage of YOUR game...with a RAPIDLY dying pbase. Bend Emperor, or you may find yourself fiddling while your Rome burns down around you. You are in a service industry, despite not charging us, and service industries function of a concept of customer service...not customer disservice.

Nekky Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 You'd just delete and re-roll every time your randomly generated character wasn't a blademaster anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 People roll a drow invoker' date=' knowing full well they are trying to go Nexus or something.[/quote'] If you ask me, if someone rolls a drow invoker going for Nexus and deletes upon being denied a chance to apply, then they cared more about playing the specific combo than they did about playing a character in a fantasy world - and they then have no grounds to gripe about who was RPing properly (edit: this is a generalization - there are of course exceptions, and having had only good interactions with Glequep and Deihle, I do not wish anyone to think I am speaking specifically of these characters or of Klemkin as a player). I will not say I have never been guilty of this - quite the opposite, I have quite often. But to date, I would say my best character of the last decade of me playing here was one who failed his qclass quest and remained his original class - and I did more with him afterward than I had imagined doing before. I've learned the lesson that RPing out disappointment, failure, and regret can be incredibly rewarding... and, in my case, the experience even helped me figure out some RL crap that had been bugging me. Besides, I like the idea that, no matter what you do, no matter how much time you sink in, you are not guaranteed a quest race/class that you are seeking. It keeps you on your toes, keeps you doing your best as often as possible rather than just when you feel you need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megayeah Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 If you ask me, you should stick with your charecter's RP no matter if you get denied, or accepted. An illithid necro is a power house. Not getting what you want is just part of the game mechanics. Like when I tried for demon dkn and after two months waiting got denied, because Masokant decided to unshelv.(I still hate you for that, Hitandrun) I just ranked to 50 and lived out the charecter. I had interesting RP and didn't want to lose it only cause I got denied. You should've pushed forward and sent another application. After geting denied once, the second one would've been revewed faster. Just my opinion, not that I've had many qrace/class charecters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekky Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Someone seems a bit annoyed that I beat his BLM killer with a... BLM' date=' twice [/quote'] In duels where we both agreed not to leave the area. And I also beat you. And in any case, you say 'BLM killer' like there is a class that truly dominates blademasters. A berzerker is more a 'has a chance against a blademaster' than a real bane of the class. So, yeah. Bragging that you beat anything twice with a BLM is .... lame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0xx Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 A berzerker is more a 'has a chance against a blademaster' than a real bane of the class. That doesn't go for a a zerker in Watcher though, especially if he is fighting an evil BLM. So, yeah. Bragging that you beat anything twice with a BLM is .... lame You seem to have something personal against me after a certain post I made about a past character of yours. A post for which I apologized later. Anyway, I don't mind Just don't forget that it is YOU who brought and keeps bringing the subject of blademasters (my previos dwarf BLM to be exact) for SECOND, THIRD and FORTH time by now, so please, don't make it look like I am braggin when it is you simply whining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekky Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I don't have anything against anyone, I just don't like blademasters. And it's certainly nothing to do with that old issue. Either way, we're de-railing a thread and should probably not be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implementor Anume Posted February 23, 2010 Implementor Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Nekky and FOxx, if you want to open a private discussion, do it with pms please. Has nothing to do with this thread. I liked Gleque's rp, the reason why I also supported it and put a bit of OLC +echos, etc. into the atmosphere. You should just have kept on trucking and seen where it leads you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why, but every time I see Anume mention OLC, I giggle a bit inside On topic, I liked the squid as well. I wish you would have gotten your psi app approved since that path opens the hugest RP possibilities. That being said, from what I've seen in the past Klemkin is one of our best RPers and the wood-be psi could have been a major RP tool in his hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mali Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 It could also have to do with one character having multiple qclass/race spots at the same time. Plus, its a big let down to everyone who wanted to RP your peace project, when you delete after not getting what you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyzarius Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Plus, its a big let down to everyone who wanted to RP your peace project, when you delete after not getting what you wanted. hhaha someone needs to catch up on current events. His illithid betrayed the council, killed the ambassadors, and the elven princess was abducted. A knight and a crusader present nearly killed him but got abducted away. He was on his way to Zelda Villian status Thats why i am mad he "shelved" it. My character had some pretty heated RP with the guy and then pop...gone.

Could of RP'ed himself into a cabal and had a good start with it easily, then reapplied for his psi later on. This is the second person I know of in two weeks to miss out on a q app then throw away a good character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tassinvegeta Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I was told that once your char got denied an app that char can no longer apply for it again. Meaning your character pretty much lost his chance unless under the most rare and extreme circumstances. :confused: Though I must say that with the grand rp Glequep had he kept the game interesting and was a positive influence that we need to encourage. It highly demotivates me to try for a qclass knowing that even with his involvement and dedication he was still denied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Nameless Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 It was already said that his denial was not at all a reflection of Glequep. But a test of the player. Klemkin has had a Psi he let go very early (Due to OOC complaints sadly) As well as a vamp that may, or may not, exist anymore. The Imms stated that it was a test to see if he just wanted a shiny qrace again, or if psi was truely a path that enriched his character. This has shown imms that this was nothing more than a means to an end, not really dedication to the character. On a side note with the size of our pbase I think it is a bit much to have to spend more t han 2 weeks waiting on a qrace. Imms can justify it how they seem, as they are the bottom line. I just see alot of chars go away because of things like that. Zinnalyassa being one, I myself let 2 qrace wannabes go because I could not justify dumping that much time into something when I could just as easily be pinned and cabaled V or better in the same time. It really has put me off on trying for qraces anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
