Darius was in Calam for a good while back in Aern/Tiq days and possibly even before that.

I think he left either right before or just after we swapped Tiq for Aradoth.

Okay, so after coming back for a few days, I remembered why I left in the first place. This whole magefall thing is just too much for me, and I'll be waiting to see if 2.0 changes any of that. I regret to say that I won't be back until then, if at all.

Since there will probably be a wipe anyway, I gave all my possessions to the clan bank. I asked Tormos to drop it in for me. There should be a lot of decent gear in there (infernal, hellraiser, silverbranch), a good deal of gold, and a ton of other useful stuff.

Sorry I couldn't stick around. I hope 2.0 makes this game a better experience, and I'll be watching for it. Oh, and I don't remember who it was, but I think someone called dibs on my sword a long time ago if I ever ragequit. It could have been Skryre, but I forget.

All the best Abso and Calamitous crew.

Well, I'm hardly one of the best players. Razz

I like a simple class, not a lot of micromanagement. But in this game you're always swapping to four different kinds of weapons, 32 different kinds of spells and buffing up like crazy (despite what AV promised when DFO was in production). It's just too much for my little brain. The fact that I spend more time at my bank making pvp bags and managing 20 different kinds of regs, potions food buffs, shards, runestones and mounts gets monotonous. I mean, I'm a freaking wolf warrior. What do I need regs for?

Also, it's the combat system. The fights themselves are kind of ludicrous. Watch a couple of pro teams go at it, and there are spell effects flying and bursting in every color of the rainbow, people bunny hopping, spinning in mad circles, double jumping and flying through the air like pinballs. It looks like something that belongs in a Marvel vs Capcom game, not what I'd expect from a medieval MMO. I liked it in the old days when it was just mostly swords and bows (I could even tolerate the mana missile spam). Now we have 90% of players that max out the same old skills and spells, wear the same bone and plate mix, and all use two handed weapons. Whatever happened to a multitude of choices?

Sorry, I'm just ranting cause I'm frustrated. There's so much I like about this game, but there's a lot more that makes it hard for me to enjoy. I'll be lurking until 2.0 is out, and if there's a wipe, I might be back.

Honestly just go destro. It really is viable and groups ALWAYS needs destros.

Archery really fucks up mages, badly. of course, you have to hit the mages, but that should be too much of a problem.

Just take the regs for transfers and witches brew, about 200 arrows, buy as many good bows as you can and wear all metal armor.

Im destro now, was a few times in my career. Its easy but at th same time requires skill.

There is nothing more satisying, in any game ever, than being a destro and managing to sneak into the middle of an enemy group while they are casting spells at your friends. That can WRECK an enemy group and you can win a big fight all on your own. No mage can claim that.

Come back and try destro, if that isnt your cup of tea then by all means wait for 2.0

I agree with Owyn. Until I just started skilling up my magic I was simply a meat shield and only bothered with healing. I'll make you some destro gear!

Don't take my word for it though, I blow at PVP. Something about the close up combat messes with me. I'm moderately ok with archery though. I've decided to try to become a healer to stay out of direct combat and try to keep meat shields alive.

It is my fault.


We raided Hammerdale earlier and after WoFXIC'ing the bank and destroying everyone Darius got surrounded and killed.


Destro is really viable, you just weren't wearing arcane jewelry. Don't quit : (

It's not your fault. I was the dummy who stayed behind and didn't watch my health.

Sorry, I don't usually rage quit like this. It's a combination of being rusty and getting humiliated by a bunch of nakeds. Maybe I just need practice and more arcane protection.

On the other hand, I have been considering playing with my alfar instead. The hitbox is much smaller and I can actually see what I'm doing in melee. With the fast skillups, I could get my alfar up there quickly, but then again without the high stats I'm gonna be gimped. Also, the fact that they're red to everyone.

Stats go up fast too. I'm red to everyone.

Finally:

Understand that the grind is only 25% of the battle, the other 75% is practice and experience, once your character is able to at least fight other newbies, try dueling them, when i was a new i got my melee mastery and archery maxed in a week went destro and dueled and lost to vets over and over, i actually won 100k in a tournament to duel the most in the clan,

my record was 127 loses 6 wins, i kept this up and eventually became good just like playing guitar or any sport you get good as u practice, ive been talking to alot of new guys ingame and they say i have everything at 75 but i get owned still everyfight, i say just practice, suck up the loses, ima hardened vet been playing for 1.5 years, and i still crave to duel people better than me in order for me to get better cause i know how effective it is. also watch videos of vets that helped me alot try to mimic them

practice noobs this is a skill based game not a level up and be insta pro game

I think I jumped the gun a bit. I need to give DF a real chance, and I'm having fun with my new alfar mage. I am still considering a destro, maybe when 2.0 comes out, but for now a change of pace is nice.

Thanks for making me see reason, lol. See you all in game, I am RooRoo Batface now. Razz

Once I get my house back into sorts, if you need help grinding up I'd be glad to help.

Hang in there Darius and give it a good chance. This game is still amazing.
