I cant comment on the current ragers.. Im not playing one at the moment. The whole honor thing etc was something I was trying to get back.. but well I cant now. The youngsters i saw, were not gang banging. The imms are watching. If anyone is found to be gang banging Im sure they will get the boot (see Rezkirat). And from what my brother has been saying (hes playing a rager) Thror has been making himself seen a fair bit lately (which is fantastic). another purge is not the answer. (that would make what 3 in under 2 months - and even if there were alot of ragers who did deserve to be booted, dont piss off those that are playing well and are putting in the effort.) oh and the comment about going up against four or five people at the palace/tower... need to roll me another rager > I know many of you would not think this but it seems ragers have lost a lot of their luster lately. > There have been many rager gang-bangs that people bitch about all the time. The ragers pretty much have no power right now. It also seems that many (Not all) ragers have forgotten or dont care what the rager honor was or is. > It seems that alot of ragers now a-days dont care about the One-on-one aspect that made the ragers honorable and likeable that they were not mad pk'ers. To many and many people I have spoken too Know or think that ragers are to be The greatest warriors in Thera, the most skilled highly trained fighters with honor. And the courage to go into fights against great odds and try to become victorious with the powers they were granted to take on these odds. If you think about it Ragers have spectacular powers, The powers of BloodThirst for the berserkers, the powers of healing of the defenders and the powers of escapability with the scouts. > I and many others know that it should not take three bloodthirsting ragers to kill one mage. If the odds are against the mage, make a desicion of which rager will kill him then make the other ragers NOT assist. > And battle right now is very weak with the warriors, the role-playing, and the dishonor of many of the people in it now. > I propose, now that the ragers are at a very low point right now, is a purge of battle and start anew with only the IMMS inducting for a while. That way the imms can make the judgement of what and who would be a good rager. > I know this might put alot of stress on the IMMS right now, But I miss seeing a lone rager go into a battle at the Palace or Tower against four or five pks and come out victorious becuase he has honed his skills and is worthy to accept the title of a battle rager. > Give any thoughts or suggestions,
I actually think it was worse before the first purge (Dhaevor/Rezkirat/Minalcar - though Im not blamming any of those guys).
only in low ranks is that really valid. Its extremmely hard to do that well against hero masters no matter what race/class you are and they are. Empire maybe... (I took on four empires and had 2 convulsing but i still died)
