Villisca

[Erana]

Reposting here to preserve player anonymity:

I am posting this here because she was an embaressment. But Villisca is gone. Have cabal left and dropped all. There are many problems with Telepathy psis at the moment and I hope I helped supply enough evidence to the fact that they become fixed soon. I would love to try another one after such happens. Anyway Sorry Syndicate and Vizsan for leaving you practically alone since we seemed to be on mostly. Kevlin you are a beast and wish I could have given you a better challenge then just spel spell word but when i dont parry but two attacks in a five to 6 round battle thats a bit much. Anamus all I can say is Omg never will I try that again lol hurt so good. As well Hatril finally my abduct lands in the right spot and I forget to grab the blasted key before you how dumb of me, that would have been a very sweet setup in there. And anyone else, I would like to say cant wait till the next fight but there wont be one. Think I will take a week off and then come back with what I am best at. Later all.

Uhm. Telepathy doesn't have any bugs as far as I know. I've played a destruction psi and more recently a telepathy psi (Zun) and did VERY well. Only problem I had with my psi is the ease at which I could be dispelled with several psi spells up and so much -mental.

Anyway.. good luck with your next. You could have (and definitely should've) kept going. I could have offered insight if you were that much annoyed at how well you were or weren't doing.. so bleh.

[Enethier]

Really, really appreciated this character. Major props. May your next effort be met with great success.

[sarcon]

Cant wait until your next one!

[megayeah]

Fought you only once or twice on Mamoru, and even I noticed you had some problems. I have never whooped a psi like that and thought it was impossible. Was really surprised that you didn't kick my *** with ease in the first place. She was looking solid RP wise though. Hope to interact with your new toon with my new toon

[Anume]

I think the players main concern was that they would not parry often. Did you have any problems with your Zun there, Jibber? (You can reply on prayer if you prefer.)

[megayeah]

That is exactly what I noticed, since she stayed for two rounds only and they were something like six attacks from my side, six taken devastates from hers. Even every attack from my beasts was hiting. Actually if I recall correctly(since I never log) she never parried at all.

[Kyzarius]

I can tell you that the melee oriented psi, illusionist, is buggy in so many ways. So i feel for ya.

[megayeah]

Oops. I was not supposed to post any bug related stuff. Sorries.

Anume edit: If you delete my comments again I'll perban you from the forum, I've about enough of your behavior.

As to my original comment: All your bug reports were examined IN GREAT DEPTH, so don't give me this kind of bs.

[jibber]

I don't think I had any problems parrying. Then again, I was wielding a staff most of the time. Would it be because he was an illithid? Don't they have a crappy parry?

Never really parried well on any of my necromancers as an illithid.

[megayeah]

I believe illithid parry might have bugged, because of the spell psi's cast on their hands.

Illithids have the best parry IG.

[f0xx]

Illithids have the best parry IG.

Lol.

[jibber]

What makes you say Illithids have the best parry IG? They don't. Parry is based mostly off of hitroll and your ability to parry the weapon that's fighting against you depending on your KNOWLEDGE of that weapon.

Illithids have 0 across the board for ALL weapons. Hence, they have a poor man's parry. This can be fixed in the code, I'm sure, to make it so that they parry better if you're an illithid (or ignore the part of the code where you get penalized if you know 0% of oncoming attacker's weapon). This can be fixed, generally, by giving illithids 100% in all weapons they're able to wield as a class, but not giving them the ability to wield them.

(This can be fixed by changing the character creation values depending on class)

[f0xx]

Point is not what can be fixed or changed, but how they usually are.

Illithids can't wield any weapons, but it's been said that they have an inborn 75% knowledge at all weapon. This of course has its positives and negatives, and it surely doesn't mean that they have the best parry abilities in the game. Couple that with their low dex and usually low AC, you get some very bad parrying abilities, and that's how it usually is with illithids.

Everyone seems to be thinking that the immortals are out the get them these days.

[jibber]

Looked at the code. There's no check in parry for illithids (other than the initial parry) for weapon percentages. So they have 0% in all weapons. Not sure if this was fixed or changed though.

[The Forsaken]

I've played a few illithid necro's in my day...and yeah the parrying sucks a big one.

That being said...what other race practically gets two full hp bars AND two (quite nice) racial skills? I'm pretty sure it's a give and take...yeah you can't parry, but you're getting some REALLY nice perks instead.

So...my opinion is.... :Non-issue:

[Mister E]

I played the exact same combo because the RP of a dreamwalking syndicate was just too cool. I also did quite well in PK on the whole. Any psion has the power to devastate their enemy if they can get a proper initiation. I remember being most frustrated against undead opponents with the dream path, characters at the time like Mephisoleer were just too hard to beat. I also remember parrying being unsuccessful but it was not a huge problem. From your score sheet I can see you seriously lacked ac which explains why you got hit so often. You also have the best spell in the game to counter heavy melee foes. I managed to beat Masokant once with Zoix mainly thanks to the spell I'm talking about.
