I consider myself a pretty good CFer, both PK, RP and Explore wise. And I never perfect skills by spamming save for parry on a sword spec and dodge on a dagger spec. The rest goes up by lvling/playing even with my giants.

And I do just fine.

Consolidation of Ranks Idea

dubs July 15, 2013 12:02PM

In my opinion

daurwyn(VIP) July 17, 2013 03:14AM

Okay, here's where I might have to light my torch and get the pitchfork.

The Faithful of Nazmorghul(VIP) July 17, 2013 09:04AM

No pitch-forks necessary. It's rather simple in my opinion.

sevriis July 17, 2013 10:18AM

It isn't this simple

daurwyn(VIP) July 18, 2013 12:39AM

Simplisticity + Randomness = Our brains want to believe spooky things are happening.

sevriis July 18, 2013 07:06AM

Yes, I understand stats, cause & effect etc.

daurwyn(VIP) July 18, 2013 11:43AM

Nothing that doesn't show in consider/improved consider. Mobs with a class > mobs without. I did leave that out but not intentionally.

sevriis July 18, 2013 11:50AM

Seems I'm at least partly correct

daurwyn(VIP) July 19, 2013 03:04AM

Indeed. A study with pigeons showed that when given food completely randomly, they would develop superstitious movements in order to get the food to appear. After a few confirmations they were damn near impossible to get rid of. (n/t)

Artificial July 18, 2013 11:40AM

This should be in Wiki. (n/t)

The Faithful of Nazmorghul(VIP) July 17, 2013 10:26AM

I think being observant will let anyone figure this shit out.

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 09:12AM

If that's the case...

The Faithful of Nazmorghul(VIP) July 17, 2013 10:23AM

I should probably make getting caballed and heroing as my goal next time I play.

DurNominator(VIP) July 17, 2013 11:53AM

Cabals are boring. Be my uncaballed hero buddy. (n/t)

Matrik July 17, 2013 12:11PM

That's boring too since I don't have any cabalmates or things to do that way.

DurNominator(VIP) July 17, 2013 05:16PM

I have one problem with cabals.

Murphy July 17, 2013 06:14PM

double post, sorry (n/t)

Murphy July 17, 2013 06:13PM

RE: 84% against people who in a very short span not only power-ranked but are a brick wall of 100% in their skill lists.

sevriis July 17, 2013 10:30AM

It's def. a mix based on what a player wants to prioritize.

zannon July 17, 2013 10:41AM

DBL post, please delete (n/t)

zannon July 17, 2013 10:41AM

Good enough.

The Faithful of Nazmorghul(VIP) July 17, 2013 10:35AM

Caravan guards are a good skill practicing mob

zannon July 17, 2013 10:29AM

That's a fair point.

The Faithful of Nazmorghul(VIP) July 17, 2013 10:32AM

If it is based solely on level of the mob

zannon July 17, 2013 10:15AM

Couldn't you also occasionally heal, heal from the same mob? During the fight? :P (n/t)

smashtro July 17, 2013 11:09AM

Healers have refused to heal people fighting them for a while now. "Bah!" (n/t)

sevriis July 17, 2013 12:53PM

+9. This too should be archived, wiki-style. (n/t)

The Faithful of Nazmorghul(VIP) July 17, 2013 10:27AM

Re: In my opinion

asthiss July 17, 2013 05:07AM

I'm not 100% positive Daurwyn's post isn't misinfo, but

Splntrd July 17, 2013 05:50AM

I wouldn't liken these to the vine

daurwyn(VIP) July 17, 2013 06:34AM

Wouldn't that be to the effect of

RiderOfStorms July 17, 2013 07:14AM

I have a suspicion

daurwyn(VIP) July 17, 2013 12:02PM

Could certainly be...

Matrik July 17, 2013 12:13PM

I think I asked about this once.

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 06:39AM

Daev on mobs and skill gains

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 09:32AM

It is a little bit of one.

Matrik July 17, 2013 09:37AM

Right, and if that's all there is to it (level), then there's no beef. (n/t)

The Faithful of Nazmorghul(VIP) July 17, 2013 10:29AM

But that's not all

daurwyn(VIP) July 18, 2013 03:13AM

Consider?

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 09:39AM

You mean the macho edge? (n/t)

Artificial July 17, 2013 07:30PM

You know it has a downside, right? (n/t)

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 07:44PM

IMHO there's no downside for an experienced player

daurwyn(VIP) July 19, 2013 03:08AM

I believe macho also makes it hard to flee. I could be wrong but every time I took I'd panic three or four times before fleeing. (n/t)

tesline July 19, 2013 04:17PM

Macho definitely affects flee

Tolnum July 19, 2013 04:52PM

It seemed so for me but I always thought it was just my imagination. (n/t)

Murphy July 19, 2013 05:42PM

Wait... flaws give edge points?! That's news to me! nt

KoeKhaos July 19, 2013 04:03PM

Yes, but not much

daurwyn(VIP) July 20, 2013 02:21AM

If it blocked yells completely maybe...

Murphy July 19, 2013 03:14AM

No yelling, cant consider, cant be rescued, gotta lead groups. Nothing else. (n/t)

Artificial July 17, 2013 07:53PM

So it doesn't have wimpy 0%?

DurNominator(VIP) July 18, 2013 01:53AM

You can still set wimpy.

Murphy July 18, 2013 03:17AM

Well yeah. That's why I only took it once. (n/t)

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 07:57PM

I take flaws to enhance RP, not to power game.

Matrik July 17, 2013 10:03AM

Noob. (n/t)

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 11:35AM

Boob. (n/t)

Matrik July 17, 2013 11:58AM

So what mobs are tweeked that way? What are everyones best practice mobs? (n/t)

NbM(VIP) July 17, 2013 07:18AM

did i have a post that was deleted? nt

The Forsaken July 17, 2013 11:24AM

No. nt

Splntrd July 17, 2013 06:50PM

Doesn't feel so good, does it? (n/t)

Matrik July 17, 2013 11:32AM

Juju zombies are great for learning skills. Male/Female Tresnores in Azreth. n/t

Jerrokrar July 17, 2013 10:01AM

There was a dark guard in arial city that was top notch.

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 07:30AM

Stop being lazy. -nt-

Mek July 16, 2013 11:58AM

But Mama I want it now! *pout* (n/t)

sevriis July 16, 2013 12:26PM

Same as many others

asthiss July 15, 2013 10:51PM

+1 couldn't agree more with you agreeing with me. :P (n/t)

deriveh July 16, 2013 06:24AM

I consider myself a pretty good CFer, both PK, RP and Explore wise. And I never perfect skills by spamming save for parry on a sword spec and dodge on a dagger spec. The rest goes up by lvling/playing even with my giants.

deriveh July 15, 2013 08:46PM

A lot of people don't seem to get how the game is structured

butterfly July 15, 2013 07:04PM

This. And I personally would be interested in a flaw that makes you gain 3 times less experience. (n/t)

Re: Consolidation of Ranks Idea

Bryntor July 15, 2013 06:11PM

If everything starts at 100%, about 50% of the reason to pick elf/d-elf is gone.

vortexmagus July 15, 2013 05:56PM

Well

subov July 15, 2013 03:04PM

Seems like it is moving towards POS. Which MUD has more players on any given night, POS or Carrion Fields?

ExPaladin July 15, 2013 02:59PM

What is POS? Short for piece of shit? (n/t)

Murphy July 15, 2013 03:56PM

yes. (n/t)

subov July 15, 2013 03:59PM

No! (n/t)

Murphy July 15, 2013 01:58PM

If you fast-forward to 20, your char should be gimped. All skills at ~75% or slow learning, not perfected skills.

smashtro July 15, 2013 12:50PM

Attempt at a helpful and articulate response.

wrathpuppet July 15, 2013 12:46PM
