I would have RPed with ya if'n yer character approached mine.

Jus' sayin'.

You already have RPed with me, my dear. You just don't know it yet. I never reveal my characters until I'm done.

Liadon, this might sound a bit rude, but try to understand it - constantly saying on the forums what your character is like takes the fun away from other people when interacting with you. If I roll a character that has never met Liadon ingame I dont want to know what color her panties are from the forum. What I mean is, more RP ingame less on the forum.

[Liadon Xiloscient]

I'm sorry...

"where I come from" it's nothing to talk about your character because people are able to separate player knowledge from character knowledge. I wasn't aware it took away from anybodies fun and simply figured it was a way to connect to the player behind the character.

*shrug*

Sorry everyone...

[f0xx]

Now, no need to apologize, you do anything wrong really. Just take it as a personal advice, whether you decide to follow it or not is only up to you.

As for your desire to have a psi, I would advise you to stick a bit to your healer and "learn to crawl before you learn to run".

listen to some old Slipknot Psychosocial is too mainstream for the brutality that is Slipknot.

My plague

Heretic Anthem

Wait and bleed (awesome melody)

anything pre iowa (even a fair bit of Iowa is good.)

Time for a new PK mix. I will let you know how it turns out lol

Foxx, this might sound a bit rude, but try to understand it- constantly telling people on the forums how to post when they don't break the rules can take away THEIR fun on the forums and in the game. If I post on these forums, I want everyone to enjoy themselves however they want, including their personalities.

What I mean is, I enjoy RP on the forums as much as I do in game.

I am not telling anoyne anything. I am just giving advices.

And Valek, I would advice you to first spend some time at 50 then start giving advices to newbies (who take your words for truth, especially when they come from someone who looks like a vet). Your post count here means nothing when you enter the lands.

You might give all kind of silly suggestions sometimes, but telling a newbie to roll and play a character that is NOT newbie friendly is very irresponsible.

Liadon, if you find it hard to survive at 50 with a healer, then I can assure you it will be ten times harder with a monk, which is perhaps one of the most handicapped classes, if we don't have zerkers and ninjas, and ninjas at least have hide.

If you want high survivability newbie friendly learning class with PK abilities then you should take a look at clerics, shamans and paladins.

Pardon me. I obviously know nothing and have nothing to share. Thank you, Foxx. I'll take my leave of the forums now.

[Croyvern]

Now you two play nice.

No personal atacks in the newbie help section!

Ignore what everyone says. If you want to learn fast and hard and on the wrong side of the learning curve, keep doing what you're doing. Some people will argue that you shouldn't start with a BMG. Bull, that's a great way to learn spell rotation. Monks aren't good when you don't know the EQ? Guess what? You'll sure as hell pay more attention when you have do deal with encumberance. You want to learn the lands better? Well, if you can stay alive with one class, then that's the class to do it with, so long as you remember that at the wrong turn you can run into something nasty.

You go out there with your monk and play around with him a bit before turning into your happy looking qclass. When you're done, pick a BMG or a Dk and go for Vamp. The suggestions here are good from a number of people, but when you play a race/class you like, you learn better. Just some race/class combos make you learn faster.

Edit:

At the end of the day, it's all about having fun. If you're having fun, then you're half way there.

[The-Nameless]

Your playing a game, not getting a degree. You play what makes you happy. Just realize a few points:

Melee require more item knowledge, espescially "consumables"

Mages have less intensive training, barring shamans, and necros.

Hybrids (DKs, Druids, and Pallies) can be awesome, but require more activity than most other classes. A zerk can win with rage, and bodyslam, a DK has to toss spells, balance curing, watch charmie. A pally has to maintain buffs, and know how to hit/run.

Overall I DO recommend you continue playing Liadon. Use the teleport spell to land in an area, and just explore it. Start copying identified items to a notepad file so you know what eq is what, and later you can look at how you want to suit up a combo. But that is only my recommendation, play to have fun, not to please the masses. Who knows, monks could be YOUR class. You might fall into PK godliness with one. Is it likely? No. Can it happen? **** yes. Has it happened before to other players? **** yes.

[Liadon Xiloscient]

Thanks for the advice everyone, despite how some may argue how to go about it I can see both sides of any arguement.

When it comes to RP and becoming one with the world I have absolutely no problem with it, but the PK scares me. Simply because as soon as red letters are thrown against my screen my fingers shake, my hands cease to move and my brain draws a blank. For Liadon i feel bad for continually throwing her into an environment that she can't defend herself against. I feel stupid sometimes for not having defenses up, or having them up with only 3 or 2 hours left and then attacked while my mana is low.

I'm trying to learn... I really am, and I used to be REALLY close to Liadon but now she's just a character that gets killed a lot, and when I'm hunted... it's an easy kill for whoever it is that's hunting me.

I've done SO MUCH study on the forums here, the wiki page, the help files and it feels like I'm learning much much too slow. The only thing I can bring you guys now is the RP, but for PK I can't give my RP body or weighable content.

For that I'm sorry, I'm trying to learn really I am. I'm hoping soon that I'll catch my groove and find a way to send chills down peoples spines like when I see warriors like I do when Vondur hunts me down. Just seeing that name on the who list makes me want to quit with Lia and play one of my other characters...

In short i'm trying, and I THANK ALL OF YOU for trying to help me. i really do, if it wasn't for how much fun I have RPing with all of you, the advice would be the ONLY thing keeping me here. This is a great community, it has it's flaws but with any large group of people there will always be flaws.

I love all of you, thanks for the help.

[f0xx]

Hey Liadon, I can assure you, you are learning MUCH MUCH faster than any of us here did when they were new

Just look at it, you already are as good as Valek (joke )

People have already posted a lot of advices about combos, some silly, some wise, but no matter what combo you choose you WILL get stomped A LOT. You will not learn if you don't get stomped.

The only way to start surviving (notice, I am not speaking about sending chills down people's spines yet) is to get used to the red letters. That is why I advised you to duel, duel, duel, duel, DUEL!!! Log the fights then re-read them.

You've already walked a long way from the Liadon that was like, "I am not here for the PK", to the Liadon that wants to get better at PK.

I would strongly advice you to NOT dump your healer though. Find out the people who are willing to teach you ingame, such like Istendil, Anamus, Klemsor. Duel them. Ask them what you did wrong. LISTEN TO THEM and most importantly PAY ATTENTION. Paying attention seems to be your biggest problem if you ask me, because if the people who are trying to teach you something that took them years to understand see you are simply ignoring them and chatting with someone else while they are trying to pour knowledge in your head, they will quickly stop wasting their time with you.

:confused: I don't get it.

PK wise

[Twinblades713]

PK wise

[Liadon Xiloscient]

No no I do, and with my newest character I sought out the best in that class. As for race I may have picked a silly one but I'm going to stick it out and see if I can't get something figured out.

After all, everyone has a nitch. Even if this one isn't going to be mine, I'm sure the one helping me will teach me a thing or two about PKing.

May way of thanking those that helped me will be showing them that I can PK and PK them.

[Croyvern]

Lia, honestly, I can teach you to use that healer. Do not give up on her. With a little prep work, we can see to it you NEVER die again. And in case it was not large enough, let me repeat, NEVER. Mindflayer had a squid that everyone feared, I let him kill me once, only because he kept getting in the way of me spanking warmasters. Healers are the most survivable class. Savant Healers are virtually untouchable. They are nearly immortal if played wisely.

First - Macros

Set four function buttons to;(send now)

co gate bright

co gate cube

co gate delivery

co gate bella

Set four more function keys to;(insert)

co 'cure disease' (note place a space in the macro after the second ')

co 'cure poison'

co 'cure blindness'

co heal

I like to use my other four function keys for basic commands that I do not wish to type frequently;

where

who pk

affect

and this is the important one FLEE(mistyping this can kill)

Second use triggers to keep important spells up. Sanc, all four detections, armor, shield, stone skin, bless, protection, protective shield, and fly.

If you are attacked, Flee, Gate, check your affects to be sure your spells wont fall in battle. Return and spank somebody for picking on a priestess. :eek:

[Liadon Xiloscient]

That idea seems scary... I don't feel confident at all with Liadon, thus is why I haven't been playing her.

Besides, I'm having fun playing something that can actually PK...

T-T

I'm such a looser.

*places an L on forehead*

[J.Twendrist]

Well, to PK you gotta know some stuff that as a healer you can learn. Equipment, areas, and consumables. Then again, healers are terrible for learning areas because of how easy it is to gate. Identify is greatness in the early days.
