Each locked away in their private alcoves, the animals are often heard moving. One man stands near a large sign, which looks important enough to read. In his hand he holds the key to unlock the alcoves, and give you your mount.

Kinicky Posted October 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Aye. I have two computers that I switch between, depending on if my wife is asleep or not, as MY computer is in the bedroom. I had the triggers off on my computer, and I had reset them to crows. but I logged on my wife's comp... wasn't expecting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iusedtobesomebody Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 doesn't anybody actually pay attention while training anymore? i think i hit 'where pk' once every three seconds while training compared to the once every five during ranking. at least now i know i can roll all those trainers for gold with ease...

Deykari Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 doesn't anybody actually pay attention while training anymore? i think i hit 'where pk' once every three seconds while training compared to the once every five during ranking. The people that don't pay attention are obviously playing in the "bard fodder" style. I have to admit, seeing that first post made me laugh.

corpsestomp Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I don't use any triggers for training, really. I do most of it by hand, to make myself actually pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticR Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I pay attention, but I use triggers for when crows fly in and stuff like that. I never don't pay attention unless I'm in my guild and I run to the bathroom for a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mya Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I thought that training trygers where illigal or are only those who act as life support ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zrothum Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Triggers are perfectly normal. What is not legal is: Setting up a long list of triggers and leaving your computer and letting your triggers do all your training for you and keeping you hungry/full, while you're at your girlfriends house.

Belegriel Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 What is really rough is when you use training triggers but not life support and you fall asleep or something and end up with a pile of deaths and a LARGE exp hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zrothum Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 *cough* Kelion *cough* I've had times where I decided to let it run so I could go up to the store real quick for something for dinner...come back and I'm dead because I forgot I didn't have any milk for my triggers to use. But, I was smart enough to have a trigger to quit if I died. My suggestion is this: Don't train if you're not going to be at the house. But don't waste your time doing it manually. Set up triggers to wake, sleep, cast, keep casting, and feed yourself. Stay in your chair, but play some online games, write some apps/desc Watch tv read a book But, don't forget to keep checking back every now and again to see whats up and make sure no IMM is quizzing you, thinking you're really not there. I've been banned once where I was training, went to the bathroom for one of those nice long #2s....come back and I'm summoned and rather close to getting denied. So, don't think a quick 5 minute run to food lion up the road is gonna be too safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinicky Posted October 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Heh. I woul dlike to point out, however, that this was not a PK. Truth be told, here's what happened... I was training dirt kick on my wife's computer, logged off for a bit, and finished it on my computer later. Then I turned the triggers off, and went off in search of some items. Stopped in the dwarven city to get a mount, and then decided to log off. Later on, I logged back on my wife's computer, which I never disabled the dirt kick triggers, and they were set to go off every 30 seconds. So sitting there, I happened to dirt kick the stablemaster... And yeah... Took me a while staring at my dead body to realize what the hell just happened. Then I was like, "Wow. That was retarded. I should post it." And vuala! Here is the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Oh, what happened was pretty obvious. I'm sure nobody thinks it was a PK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valforian Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I just set up an alias thats so it doesnt acidentally go off I actually have to type ,traindirtkick to do (dir 1.; dir2.; dir 3.; dir 4; where; dir 5.; dir 6.; dir 7.; where; who pk) and sometimes if im sure I am in a really safe place or no one is in my pk at the moment I will enter it as (dir 1.; dir2.; dir 3.; dir 4; where; dir 5.; dir 6.; dir 7.; where; who pk; #WA 100000; ,traindirtkick) And during that wait time if I see anyone in the area or someone in the lands I don't trust then I will start doing it the first way and maybe cut it down so it only enters four dirt kicks.

Calron Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Not sure why you guys even train dirt kick anyways. It always masters during ranking for me, even with a fire giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Yeah... there's no need to train dirt kick. A lot of skills should go up through natural use while training... blades for a battlemage, acid blast for a necro, flame arrow for an invoker, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajindaar Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I always attempted to master cruical defensive, evasive and a few select offensive skills/spells early on. Like, you won't enjoy failing casting sanc mid-PK, nor would you want to fail to recall. Pinpointing down an opponent that's trying to crawl away and that one flame arrow that would finish them fails? Was freaking out every time things like that happened to me. Guess that's been the reason I kind of trained almost anything...but that's a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsestomp Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Yah, mastering blades by casting it over and over is the dumbest thing I ever tried to do...I think it got to the point where I would have had to cast it about 300 times for it to go up 1%.

Kinicky Posted October 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Generally I agree - many skills, including non-vital buffs (warcry, armor, stuff like that...) I train up through use. But a few skills that I want to make sure land before I get into a more heavy pk-range, I try to master early on. ie. dirt kick, bash/bodyslam, defenses, and weapons.

Iusedtobesomebody Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 i confess, i'm a trainaholic. if i plan on using it... i'll spend the time to get to 100. if i don't plan on using it, i don't even practice it. my way of thinking is: a) i don't want to fail this spell/skill in the beginning/middle/end of a PK i only have myself to blame if i die from a failed spell/skill c) i don't like dying but that's just me. heh.
