    I do PvP now, quite a lot. It is entirely game-breaking. Try being on the recieving end of it, see how many balanced measures there are to counterract it and watch how very few work without considerable drawback.

    Ok... I was attacked by a couple phoenixes last weekend (in TW against Legendary), and they were annoying, but not deadly.

    On the other hand, getting nearly-simultaneously attacked by 8 different players (for example: Strife_son, AirFogl, Recharge, Sneeze, Teldora, MichaelBhB, Ghostring and Sneeze) turns out to be deadly. Even if some of them do not hit very hard, enough might still hurt, and every effective countermeasure I can think of has drawbacks? Perhaps I should file a bug report about this "glitch"?

    Anyways... I have this fantasy about all problems being solvable if you deal with them properly. But I have lots I must learn.

    Alright, so how do archers fit in here? Simple answer, Barrage of Arrows.
    More complex, a method is exploited to allow Barrage of Arrows to go on for an indefinant amount of time.
    This part is important so pay attention:

    The glitch has been reported to PWI and is an approved ussage of barrage of arrows. There is an 18 page thread regarding it on the main forums.

    The archer should target another player, start a duel, the player should not in any way defend themselves. Wait until the target is around 1/2-1/4 hp, and start barrage of arrows as a finisher. The opponent will die and lose the duel. The barrage of arrows will continue.

    That's not the glitching part. I tried to suggest it to you earlier. You should really look into it and find out what they're talking about first, seriously. It's like the part where you QQed about nix, but said out front that you have never been in pk or tw.b:sweat

    b:cry OMG Flesh Ream

    WTF Is that a Genie over there?? And it casted Blood Clot?

    BTW - Flesh Ream is not a glitch, just because it does not work the way you want it does not mean it's not working the way PWI wants it.
    tatuaje: grinding mobs and zhenning ???
    frankieraye:All right, I admit it, it's a bit retro. lol.

    I already did it once, but ok.

    "The archer should target another player, start a duel, the player should not in any way defend themselves. Wait until the target is around 1/2-1/4 hp, and start barrage of arrows as a finisher. The opponent will die and lose the duel. The barrage of arrows will continue."

    The skill continues AFTER the duel.

    as far as I know the archer barrage should have been exactly like BB and the wizard aoe, neverending (until u run out of MP or press ESC) but since they messed up something it stops when target is dead so players found a way out using this glitch, but I don't think it's bannable cuz it's more like a way to fix a devs's error

    That would be because monsters disappear after they die, so the skill loses its target for good, whereas if you lose a duel, you are still on the same spot with 0 life and mana, with no teleports or anything of the sort.
    If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

    Everyone wants to be different, but when you're different you wish you were normal.

    The problem here is, the skill is supposed to. It even says in the description of the skill. You have to glitch it to use it properly the way it was meant to be used.

    However, using a glitch to PK someone who is blue named in room 1 of the cube is using a glitch that was never meant to be used.

    Ok see the difference?

    It's insane to try and ban someone for something that isn't there fault if anyone needs banned it's the programmers that did'nt fix it as soon as it started in the first version of the game.

    As for Nix's every guild on my server that does TW know's you have issues with Nix's in TW treat them as players you kill them out right for the most part most veno's who lose there nix run like cowards easy prey.

    And yes I'm A veno but if my pet falls I go fox <most all skills maxed lol>

    Yes, I know it's supposed to work that way, but it doesn't. SO you have to glitch in order to make it work. SOOO it's a glitch.

    this game is forged on several glitchs, one of these completely changed the way u play PW: luring

    as a barb I had time to study "Aggro" as a real scientist and I managed to understand how it works in a lot of situations and I don't believe pets were designed for luring mobs like that

    In a topic a while back, a GM stated that veno pulling is working as intended. They also said the archer skill is just the players making the skill work as intended.

    They did NOT ever say that flesh ream is working as intended.

    It must be a glitch or something, otherwise where the sense on making bosses like Dimentora that spawns minions in a certain place or the doggy in tt 2-2 and 2-3 that is sorrounded by elite mobs and u just lure him or wurlord that is supposed to be hard cuz of clones

    the game is damn easy except for a few bosses that require a barb 30k hp+ and clerics with near 15k+ and those are purely cash shop bosses so I wouldn't call them hard either

    It's a glitch that has been accepted by the community. The same can be said of fleshream in PW china, and PWI too, given more time.

    Things like this happen in other mmorpgs too.
