The sweet and humid air makes you gag, and struggle not to retch. Sweat

spreading to you, and you check yourself for a rash or some outbreak of
disease.

even though i chased you to blight with little bit more hp, i still didnt think i would rip. That patty is nasty stuff, it comes in after i am on you causing me to risk flee lagg and get out before bash or landing bash before you do and get out. At the end i did get some lagg before you bashed me but the main reason why i died was cuase i paniced. I could of done better and gotten out, but i just paniced and wasnt thinking.

Was fun, next time i put up a better fight.

Vurek · Post by **Vurek** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 3:53 pm

I don't understand why you fleed off him after you hit him 1s of the trees(2n of old blight patty), and then proceed to walk to patty.

Seemed like a pretty fair fight to me, didn't see the use of the patty. Shrug, I must be an idiot.

Chase · Post by **Chase** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 5:08 pm

Probably because he thought he messed up on timing and he knew Dross had him on the bash... Think Vurek think!

Vurek · Post by **Vurek** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 6:39 pm

Still doesn't explain the point of moving/running to blight patty. When he could have chilled 1s of dross as he was originally doing.

I would have chilled 1s, or moved away from friendly mobs for the time being.

But then again maybe dross had way better eq, but I don't see the point moving to a patty at that high hps

And THAT is what I mean chase. I'm not gonna say Think Chase. Think. Because that is an enormous predicament for you. So quit being a moron 8)

Viral · Post by **Viral** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 6:55 pm

Just one question. Why post stuff about this topic now that it's been at least a month or so?

Chase · Post by **Chase** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 7:00 pm

Boredom?

Chase · Post by **Chase** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 7:01 pm

Besides, I have to show up Vurek. We already decided, and Vurek agrees, that he will be taking orders from me on the mud in the near future.

Vurek · Post by **Vurek** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 10:11 pm

Haha. That was my presumed guess as to my future once out of jail. But we know that's not all true, if I did everything you said, or followed you, it would only result in LS failing as a pking force. We would merely be allowing DS to have all masters again, with a lack to LS.

I posted a reply to this because I meant to question the usage of blight patty under presumably fair conditions, I still don't and don't think I'll ever understand it. Seems similar to a trick and merely making pk more of an easy win than fun. Shrug.

Also, I enjoy reading logs, and mainly any logs other than my own, as I participated in mine, I know what's going to happen, whereas with others it's something to see, either good or bad.

Volgar · Post by **Volgar** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 12:52 pm

I didn't post the whole log, but when I was down south, he was beating me badly.. He had better abs and a better axe, the only reason we were at similar health was because I ran north and managed to rest for a couple tics before he showed up.

Vurek · Post by **Vurek** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 2:10 pm

Nod, I was assuming that was the case, but still a little bummed at the use of bpat so early

Lithium · Post by **Lithium** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 6:35 pm

Trees are pretty uber too. On a beat basher, I got Chase from hurt to crit before him and his buddy finally managed to finish me off. People are more likely to hit at trees too. The only potential downside is, they can't hit unbashed dodgers.

So yeah, everyone should use trees instead of patrols!

Axxey · Post by **Axxey** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 7:11 pm

we humans should use our trees too...

Chase · Post by **Chase** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 8:19 pm

I would fight 2 people anytime if humans had trees. I used to use the trees around FD all the time. The patties near FD are nice, but they are either too strong (against people who outnumber by 1) or they dont do much against groups that just fleehit with 2 or 3 more.

Two or three sets of trees around FD would be awesome. Perhaps in the zone nw of FD, so that the zone gets used much more. It would also make it so humans cant flee 3 rooms and get in (like you could from the trees 1n alle FD gate.

Lithium · Post by **Lithium** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 9:16 pm

Don't make them trees, make them something else which act similarly. Maybe cavalry patrolmen or something.

Chase · Post by **Chase** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 11:06 pm

Why? Trees are sick! I love them! Bashing a dodger on a pair and have them frag was awesome.. I used to fight 3 people around trees and it was a fair fight. That was some fun pk.

Aj · Post by Aj » Mon Jan 30, 2006 11:09 pm

make shol area a stedding, it's laid out similiar to dark forest, so just s of mnt of dhoom there could be a small stedding with scattered ogiers who could assist humans.

I'd suggest a patty of 3 or 4 and some individual ones to help balance any pk odds.

Chase · Post by **Chase** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 11:11 pm

With axes (or even chains!!)! All the mobs in game have swords and spears!

Cannibal · Post by **Cannibal** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 3:25 am

I suggest not making any patties or fall back areas. Thats what cities are for. Besides, if someone gets low enough to warrant running to mobs, they are low enough to get killed in a city. Unless cities got upped too in all of this. In which case we can rename Kinslayer to WotMUD VII.

Aj · Post by Aj » Tue Jan 31, 2006 3:50 am

cities are now pretty insane cannibal, but with the change to gates its harder for humans and trolls to get to safety. Most pkers dont want to run from pk even if the odds are stacked against them, such as cifon using the patties n of fd to his advantage, but when one human is low vs one troll using such a big patty doesnt balance pk it kills it, so a few strong solo mobs would rocketh.

Vurek · Post by **Vurek** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 2:51 pm

They said never would implement trees for LS, it doesn't make sense, and that's cool.

Think they are happy with wolves for now, we haven't been having multiple complaints on the terrible balance of N fd with blight for the time being because we aren't having to figh 5+ trolls anymore.

But when we do, it'll get nasty again

Wotmud VII? Hrm. I think we are heading towards Wotmud VIII by now

Viral · Post by **Viral** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 3:52 pm

I disagree about making Shol Arbela a stedding with trees and ogiers that assist you. Ogiers dont allow weapons or violence into the stedding. Would make it completely un-rpish.

Chase · Post by **Chase** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 4:34 pm

It really doesnt matter to me, I can pk inside or outside of a city. I HATE runnig from pk, even if I am outnumbered. The two patties are ok, but it one single hard patty. Trees were awesome because they were weaker, yet still hurt.

As it is, I cant stand against two people outside of FD because A) I sit and fight, solo (or even with weak wolves/scout) I get torn up. B) patty will destroy those two. I dont recommend making patties weaker, because they really help in group fights when ls is outnumbered. I just ask for a few small patties (2 mobs) near FD so we humans can pk outside a city. If I run in a city, trolls get bored.

This wont alter the pk balance, as blight has some pretty awesome mobs that assist them (which is awesome, I love blight) but FD has 2 wolf mobs, 2 scouts, and 2 patties. I just ask for maybe two sets of mobs on the road to Shol Arbel where pk will be stimulated for times when LS is outnumbered.

Vurek · Post by **Vurek** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 6:58 pm

Been asking for this for months

, it was a plus when I saw wolves started aggroing and they added like 2-3 n fd.

Some IMM told me they had plans for n fd, all in good time
