bad experience so far...

Recently, A character by the name of Reubix was arguing with dragonslain, they were arguing over something and i told them to go duel, and reubix asked me to duel instead. So myslef and Reubix departed for the boulder, neither of us knowing that dragonslain was stalking us and ampushed reubix almost simultaneously with my attack killing him.

That shouldnt have anything to do with this, but just told you to make sure everyone understood the whole story. I was torn from gemstone tonight for a family crisis and had to leave the computer before having a chance to exit out. When i came back i found i had went through purgatory and was sitting at the temple. And i came back to see reubix had been testing a bow out and had killed me while sitting down defenseless in the trophy room of thraks, unfortunately my group was closed, i dont know how for i always have it open, so no one was able to drag me, and for some reason some guy was telling everyon not to lk me. And i came back in time to see that they were planning on telling me that i bled to death.

In any event, i was able to control my temper and for one of the first times in my gemstone life reported only to find out i should have been their and it was my fault i decayed. But the problem i had with this was i had no animosity against reubix and was not dire enemies with anyone else in the lands so i thought id have the comfort of being able to sit in a room for a period of time while i straitened out a family crisis. Atleast i was given a referrel and will see what the gm does, this could be one of those events that just turns me from gemstone out of disgust at how this system works...

I'll buy the family emergency bit, since you haven't proven yourself to be a liar or anything... but sitting afk in public is still a horrible thing...

Do yourself a favor, next time you log in, type this...

FLAG DEATH

now, if you die, and you aren't looking or speaking, in about 1-2 minutes, the game will automatically log you out... good for when lagging/ghosting deaths were a problem, but now it works great for AFK people who keep getting killed by enemies...

Good point Urogoyle, but he shouldn't have had to do that. One he killed him in town. He shouldn't have done that anyways. Anyways I want to throw this out to you.

I cannot remember these guys name for the life of me but they are two guys who hang out at the trophy room. They are both old clerics. Well one time I was picking a box. And I was incenerated. Well I was going to allow one of my friends to heal me down either Nindy or my other friends little cleric. Well I do not know for sure which one it was but one of those guys little empath started healing me. I yelled stop. Let me be. And after taking half of my injuries and getting a cheap frye he stopped. Then the one guy said you want to be raised? And I told him no. I didn't give him any reason. And I shouldn't he didn't even lk me. Then his other friend without my permission decides he wants to get experience from me. So he rezzes me without my permission. At this point I was furious and reported. They did not give me a respond or anything. Well then his friend unstun the one who rezzed me and did not me. So I died again. Which that is very wrong. I kept this all in a role play text two even though they were multi accounting. Then after I died, one of those guys empath started healing me again enough to get another frye. Yet I reported again. Nothing happened. Then someone else came in and asked me if I wanted a drag. I got rezzed and healed and such. But then I assisted. By this time it was way too late. I gave him my side of the story. From my knowledge of seeing him around and such nothing ever happened to him. Really sad in my oppinion. I think the two clerics names were Tijay and Niterezz (maybe spelled different but almost positive that was him).

Don't let me ever see em again. reg

Niterezz is a vulture, plain and simple. reg

UNLINK
UNLINK CONFIRM

Won't have that problem again. That's why there's a 15 second RT when you link to a corpse.

I've done it. Pisses off the vulture clerics. reg

Too bad they don't have that for leech-paths. reg
Ah thanks urgoyle i just turned that on so it doesnt happen again, still waiting on the referrel, seventh in queue so far... reg
Normally i never would sit afk more then 5 minutes, but i had a real serious crisis that just pulled me away from gs and i didnt even think of closing window... reg

You have just been awarded 6000 experience points.

I had modrian as a gm, was really understanding and helped me through it was able to get me experience back. Fine example of a GM right there. reg

You should see that i get sometimes....

You have been awarded -975 experience points.

Gift from andraste, for unbalancing someone who was on fire from one of those napalm traps, so i could roll them out and save their life, and heal em... Because i was 'abusing game mechanics' by injuring/healing someone, but considering the unbalance only left a tiny minor <and no one bothered to tell me you could 'push' someone on fire to knock them over> I again felt ridiculously violated...

<Took me a 50 minute argument, and pointing out the fact that i was already -817 to train, and fried to begin with, so i didn't 'learn' anything from doing it, before i got it back... kinda nice how they just swoop down on ya like that, instantly punishing you before even expressing their concerns, no?>

[Edited to correct an error, it was 975 exp i was punished, not 875.... funny too, because with that little piece of 'punishment' i learned just how much my mind could store full full full, heh]

You think getting awarded -975 exp is bad? I'd like to see the look on your face when you get awarded -14.5m silver.

It's called DEMEANOR, and it's being worked on. Unfortunately, it's being worked on by Ilfaer, and is first priority is (fortunately) fixing and finishing Bard Songs. reg

I have come to the conclusion Andraste just looks for anyway she or he can just to cause strife.

I would call that great application of an in character solution to the problem. If ANYTHING is messed up, it would be the weakness of the mechanics in the first place.

I see no "abuse". I see some character having a thorough knowledge of their spells and abilities. A small hurt vs. a death is a good application of logic.

I suppose admirable smart characters are not desired.

Details, Sonic, Details!... If i had 14 million silver to begin with.... heh reg

yes, yes... UNLINK!


When they decided they were going to make clerics link to a corpse via WoL, I stood on the rooftops and shouted that the corpse should have a choice in the matter, and should be able to UNLINK...
The staff actually listened for a change, and added it in!

so, make a macro for unlink confirm, and hit it when you see the cleric named above, because, yes, he IS a huge vulture!

As amusing as some of you might find it, I think this rock is best left unturned for now.
