Deleting this one and probably leaving. Thanks to everyone that i interacted with, it seems the game is not right for me. Died with the char just once i think to Kotrag - props.Thanks Ulmusdorn for all you did for me. Best immortal dedication over a cabal that i have seen evee. It will be good if the other members of the staff get off the high horse and begin to act even a 50% like him. The game requirements for non native English speakers are also too high if you ask me , but thats just my thoughts. Take care all ?

[sarcon]

Another good character. You've been doing some serious work with those ferals. Well done. Sorry to see you go. 

[FatMike]

Agreed, another good showing from you.

[Fool_Hardy]

Perhaps a short reprieve and return to us? I pray.

I shall be looking forward to your triumphant return.

We will miss you until then.

[Kyzarius]

oh hes not leaving.  dont buy it for a minute.

 

good one Nightmare.  why do you never stick to them?  You seem to have the oddest "delete" pattern.  Its like, man im doing great, I win im out.

 

good luck with your next! 

[kamikazi]

He was an avian actually. Good character. I think he's leaving, cause of the same reasons I'm acting so angry all the time. Just too much...how to express it not to sound offensive...unbalanced? stuff and attitude towards people. 

Forgot I was taking break...should've kept my mouth shut. See you guys in a couple of months. 

[Ashuga]

Wasn't he a feral? 

Getting outdamaged by a blind, disarmed, grapple spamming ninja was a new experience for sure.

Good luck on your next one or with life if there's really no next one.

Avian for sure. I still think ninjas got too broken with their change, but it is becoming a trend to see any class geting a rework totally dominating until it is toned down. No matter the fact it makes other players crazy that a half dressed ninja which they've completely destroyed the other day, comes around with same gear the next and dishes out 400 dmg per round to your staff wearing decked toon. 

[Erelei]

So it's just legitimately a good idea to bail when the going gets tough rather than help balance - or quit when you get nerfed because you know for a fact you were unbalanced. Okay.

[kamikazi]

I am not getting on the arguing horse again. Just wanted to point out how changes affect the rest of the pbase, who are playing their normal chars and maybe should be better thought off and tested a little bit. Shutting up now.

[Anume]

Being that I am a non-native English speaker myself, I find the statement that the requirements for these are too high especially funny.

Fact is, ANYONE will have to put in some rp if they want E, native or non-native speaker alike. This includes some interaction with other mortals other than pk.

We generally do not deduct rp points for bad Grammar or spelling as long as the content is nice.

Cheers guys.

[kamikazi]

Ok...truth is we've seen people getting elders with no RP at all....at least none that has been seen by anyone other but the Imms. I liked a phrase I read in another thread - Not saying anything...just saying.

I know why I wasnt getting eldered, no matter I was RPing all the time with people, no matter thr fact it is actually OOC to be judging a character, because of forum posts. I don't get why wasn't he given Elder, when we've seen tons of those with no RP whatsoever.

[Anume]

Just bc they didn't interact with YOU doesn't mean they didn't interact and rp with other people :-P

[Pali]

I enjoyed your insistence that I had to be teleporting away from you when I never did.  

[Zavero]

Good character. You were a bit vague as to why exactly you are deleting. Was it something in particular that was wrong with the character?

[Enethier]

Who are these mythical Elders that have not RPed enough for their position? I can think back for many, many years and not even one comes to mind.

I like to think I have very well RPed characters. One of them has a tome in the Library. I have also never gotten Elder. Should I now say that other people don't deserve Elder? Should I blame OOC?

At what point does it come down to acknowledging that my (your) point of view is not the only one? When do I (you) sit down and really ask myself (yourself) the question "What am I not doing right, or enough of?" For me, that answer is PK. I am just awful at it. I have one class that I can throw out a decent record with, but none that really stand out as one I am an expert with. I simply do not meet the PK requirements for Elder on my characters, past or current. 

For you, it is your RP. I am not trying to be mean, rude, or publicly shame you. But I believe that being blunt is necessary more often than not. I have never, personally, seen you play a character that made me want to learn more about them. Your RP, to you, is about you. That should never be the focus. It's the easiest RP to write, but the hardest RP to get anything meaningful out of. When you play a multi-player game, the focus of your RP cannot be on you or your character. It needs to be on the external (the environment, other players, current politics, pressing global/regional issues). Behrath and Nictis were both very fearsome opponents, but very forgettable characters.

Not to sound arrogant, but if you need help with developing RP, feel free to send me a PM.

[kamikazi]

I don't want to derail this thread any further, but you are wrong. I could not care less for getting elder, or not. I only pointed it out, as being the reason I was told by the Imms. My char never intended to be aiming for Elder, nor had I any expectations of getting there. A fact is though, that my RP wasn't self centered and I have helped and talked to a lot of people ingame about their characters...their stories. As it is completely obvious, my RP skills are at the same level as my PK skills - they suck. I've had a lot of chars that have been self centered and trying to force their silly RP attempts down other peoples throats. That wasn't the case with Behrath.

Anyway this is a deletion thread about Nictis, who was a well played character and a tremendous effort in RP by a guy who hates RP. I give him props for making the effort and I say shame on you for not encouraging him to continue to improve in that aspect, cause he really wanted to. Giving him the position would've kept the character interesting and making him further improve, in order to aim for a Leaders position. Just my opinion.

You people should also understand that I get really frustrated when I read a post coming from someone who has clearly not interacted with my toons long enough to learn anything about them, and starts preaching to me on what I should, and should not do. It has always been my attitude and the way I express myself the thing that has dragged me down and making people look down on my toons. I don't care really, cause I'm only speaking my mind. I CAN have extraordinairy RP if I want to and I also can take down all of the high and mighty "vets" in PK if I set my mind onto it. 

[Pali]

Why wouldn't you want to have extraordinary RP?

[kamikazi]

Cause I know that I'm going to be judged for my past outbursts on the forums and in game. No point...even as the years pass, I will still be told "But you know that you will have to wait longer and put even a bigger effort, because ten years ago you did blah and blah". No point, buddy.

And yet you think I'm given everything on a silver platter?  There has not been a single person in this game disliked by more staff and players than me.  I am a shining example of just how far the IMMs are willing to go if you put forth effort and not sit there and cry/bitch about everything.  Sit down, shut up, RP like you say you can, PK like you think you can, and be CONSISTENT about it.

[kamikazi]

Hahahah...don't give me that flamebaiting passive aggressive crap, Zrothum. I for one know who you are buddies with. There is also a huge difference between my outbursts and your cheating abusive behaviour.

[egreir]

I'll assume, like everyone else who tries to refer to my "relationship" with the IMMs, you're referring to Ereleii.   I assume he gets as many laughs as I do everytime someone thinks him and I are best buds and talk every day and that I would even ask him for any favors. 

 

All you do when you say something like that is further cement how horribly ignorant you are about the situation regarding your characters and my characters. And I mean that in the most polite way.

[kamikazi]

Wow...I didn't even mention him anywhere, not even once in my posts. Guess the cat came out of the bag on it's own ahahaha.

I'm done arguing with you, dude. You seem to think you are on a completely different level of skill. I can't compete with that, ahahaha. No one can (Sure you can sense the sarcasm there, right?).

[egreir]

Like it's a huge secret who Erelei is...and who I have been friends with in this community....anyone who is active here knows who you guys mean when you try to bring up some IMM giving me special treatment.  You aren't outsmarting anyone here, least of all me.

 

[kamikazi]

All you do when you say something like thay is further cement how horribly right, whoever mentioned that is. FYI - I invented the passive aggressive crap.
