The whole idea behind tournaments

April 06, 2013 04:22AM
Is to create some high adrenaline, top notch pk. You know it, jalim knew it, and everyone else who gets into these tournaments knows it. I understand why the two of you were being cute by exploiting the loopholes in the imms poor rules, but you didn't truly expect a different response, did you?

Well I called it. A Transmuter won the tourney.

Pro April 05, 2013 07:55AM

If they are so overpowered roll one. If a class if tough in the arena, it doesn't mean it's OP. nt

Someone Not Special, Esquire April 06, 2013 06:51AM

wait, can transmuters be rangers now? nt

Can assassins be invokers? Can bards be shamans? (n/t)

Murphy April 06, 2013 09:47PM

Bards can be shamans by singing hymns instead of their usual repertoire. (n/t)

DurNominator(VIP) April 06, 2013 10:08PM

But the real question is, can shamans be bards? (n/t)

Frosty April 07, 2013 07:06AM

I'm still emailing Baer about my Warrior/AP dual class. She still hasn't responded though.

satchmo April 07, 2013 08:20AM

You didn't call it, you said a scion wins. Mylene was a nexan.

Randomguy April 05, 2013 03:13PM

yep

All glory to the hypnotoad

Demtok April 05, 2013 09:24AM

Except that's not even remotely how it went down. But don't let the truth stop you from bitching. nt

Feel free to offer evidence

Tolnum April 05, 2013 08:33AM

Are you fucking stupid? There's a log on the log board, PaulO's post below, and a results post on the official forums.

Java April 05, 2013 08:49AM

Hey Pro, check the forums

PaulO April 05, 2013 08:11AM

It should have been like amateur boxing. If you don't make contact in X amount of time, you're disqualified. (n/t)

BattleCharmed April 05, 2013 07:59AM

Thror did a free for all tourn in the sand of sorrow where someone tried to hide til the end.

zannon April 05, 2013 08:38AM

I did this with Ceyraia

The whole idea behind tournaments

Kamuela April 06, 2013 04:22AM

Very clear rules + system of points + deadline of the Tournament would make those Tournaments MUCH more interesting for everybody.

shaapa April 06, 2013 06:40AM

Usually because abusing loopholes is generally how you get good at CF. (n/t)

Scrimbul April 06, 2013 06:46PM

Thinking this way for many years already doesn't let you to become good at PK.

shaapa April 07, 2013 05:49AM

I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I just severely dislike 'You can only kill X if they make Y mistake while you are trying not to make mistakes A, B, and C yourself.'

Scrimbul April 07, 2013 07:59AM

WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG! (n/t)

Frosty April 06, 2013 07:10PM

Eh. Hotrail's schtick is abusing bugs. Magus' is abusing broken combos(items) that get semi fixed. (n/t)

Artificial April 06, 2013 08:21PM

Some people play like that yes, but it's not how you "generally get good at CF." (n/t)

Frosty April 07, 2013 07:07AM

Twist, Daevryn, 'area knowledge', Ysigrath vine, efficient skill spam. Area repop knowledge, valid A/B/S locations both now and in the future. Several gold gathering spots. I could go on. But I won't.

Scrimbul April 07, 2013 07:54AM

Copper dragonscale sleeves. Go on. (n/t)

Frosty April 07, 2013 07:56AM

at least they're still in the game. *sniff* I miss my vine. *sob* (n/t)

satchmo April 07, 2013 08:19AM

No they're not. (n/t)

Frosty April 07, 2013 08:22AM

The copper dragonscale sleeves are still in the game.

zannon April 08, 2013 06:32AM

you FOOL! That was ONE player I didn't have to share with!

satchmo April 08, 2013 01:24PM

Was going to post something along these lines..

istirith April 06, 2013 04:27AM

Yeah that was super lame of Thror.

jalim April 05, 2013 12:20PM

thror has forced me to lose the rites at least once

Quas April 09, 2013 05:00AM

Actually I won it with my herald bard. :)

zannon April 06, 2013 05:04AM

I did the same thing in one of those tournaments.

PaulO April 05, 2013 01:29PM

Moral of the story: These tournaments are deathmatches, even if you have a legitimate reason to hide, just don't.

Scrimbul April 05, 2013 01:38PM

Is it just not possible to summon/bind/etc. on the fly?

Matrik April 05, 2013 01:40PM

There is a 50 tick timer on archons/elementals...

jalim April 05, 2013 02:29PM

Conjurers are extremely powerful, their 'floor' is higher than that of shapeshifters but it comes at the cost of a lot of downtime and a lot of relying on the mob AI to do the right thing at the right time.

Scrimbul April 05, 2013 02:45PM

Really it's not much downtime once you really know what you are doing and can be successful with any tier of any kind of servitors combi (n/t)

Quas April 06, 2013 03:06AM

I'm not arguing that, but learning that takes several runs through the class.

Scrimbul April 06, 2013 05:35AM

Evil conjurer isn't hard if you're always up and about killing things/players (n/t)

starbright April 07, 2013 11:34AM

Eh. Conjurer isnt really that hard. If Artificial can do it, anyone else can. (n/t)

Artificial April 06, 2013 08:23PM

Misinfo!

wrathpuppet April 06, 2013 09:39PM

I get hard countered by chariots of iron.

Artificial April 06, 2013 09:51PM

Are they worse than chariots of wightsteel? n/t

jalim April 08, 2013 01:31PM

...and you get killed by Matrik. Nah nah boo boo. (n/t)

Matrik April 06, 2013 10:24PM

Wait a second. Angel/Archon is on a different timer than demon/devil? Or do all four get their own timer? (n/t)

Matrik April 05, 2013 05:17PM

All four plus para elemental iirc

daurwyn(VIP) April 06, 2013 08:21AM

All four get their own. n/t

jalim April 05, 2013 05:19PM

Additionally, conjurers only get free barrier/aura with devils/archons, with demons/angels they have to rely on their sleeks.

Scrimbul April 05, 2013 07:57PM

This is why, despite preferring hiding classes, I always die first in The Rites.

wrathpuppet April 05, 2013 10:03AM

Or even the last tournament when people just started to word the contestants per "if you leave the battleground you are disqualified" (n/t)
