Beating Tempest with 1 player

LostPoet - Dreamweaver

Tempest been QQing a lot about needing server merges and what not because they are not getting fun TWs. Well winning, atleast for me, doesn't mean a giant Victory sign, but a fun TW.

Whether its fun because you get some revenge, or because its back and forth competitive, or simply because you get to do something ridiculous. Fun = Winning! b:victory

How to TW vs Tempest (9/13/2014) !! b:thanks

They not getting fun TW because they dominating too much ?
QQing then while they are the place where everyone gathers who cares more about winning than having "fun TW" ?(Else you dont go to the most domination faction imo)

well if you ssee in the video. they BOA on our catas incase anyone does enter... thats the kinda people they have in there. No one wants to to bother fighting them and giving them fights in TW.

in NW, instead of doing the event, they just sit around killing people... their most OP player is notorious for being in the loosing nation because thats all he does... also... watch his videos.. does like 5 skills and no one hits him more than 5k, after purges and debuffs...

So let me get this right, when Dynasty was beating Tempest and Relic for 2 straight seasons in under 15 minutes we used to call it fun. But now that Tempest beats Dynasty in 5, because Dynasty decides to no-show this is boring?. I agree.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MF5Ve_NZ3EU

Dynasty has nothing to complain about though. After all, they were "pissing" on their ganks long before this season. A little youtube to refresh your memory. Lets be real, if there was any intent to fight this TW we would have pulled out. Wacky could have reached DP and asked us to hold. We would have obliged, as we have in the past. As Dynasty has done for us in the past. During a "real" TW we wouldn't be doing that, and whoever would, would probably meet the same end FlyRanger met while he did that to us as a Dynasty member. On a real TW.

In fact, Dynasty doesn't complain about it. Dynasty as a faction has always been respectful, less some exceptions like the one cited above, even in defeat there's always been great sportsmanship, you however, I understand why you'd be sour...

To be denied from Tempest and have to go to Dynasty after being forced out from BootyCamp. That creates a whole new level of resentment. I'm sorry bud. I (and probably a few other current tempest members) totally can relate to those feelings. But that didn't make me or any of us go and post passive aggressive TW videos. We swallowed pride, we forgot about petty faction rivalries and focused on the true target. And here we are.

DarkSkiesx - Dreamweaver

Most of the old Dynasty members are pretty respectful, some are friends that I have jokes with.

It's usually the ones that join during a factions height in power (glory hunters) or the ones that were forced to go there having been rejected twice from Tempest, like mr lostpoet here, that have srs butthurt symptoms.

The "spawnkilling" accusations are hilarious, it's clearly a no show, you didnt set up towers have not a single person in the TW, obviously aren't going to be done with BootyCamp which took over an hour, but ok let's use that as a 'omg mommy look they bad people" excuse.

We didn't want you in our faction, pls get over it. I won't even talk to you like you represent Dyna lol. Thats a conversation with like Dragslave. Keep making troll 2min frag vids.

There's plenty of stuff to go around about Tempest if you want to spread bad stuff about them (or how they used to be, specifically pre-merger).

Gladly those who have knowledge about that actually don't speak about it because of having a grain of respect and more likely not caring at all about in-game politics as they count for nothing and have no impact on anything regarding real life, it's a game in the end.
Shame not everyone sees it that way.

p.s.: note to those who will most likely go ahead and quote me with "you can't say anything bad if you're not doing it" or "you can't say anything bad about them because there is nothing bad to say" kind of way. Save your time, i'm not going to respond to those kind of things. I'm just stating people are complaining and moaning over the wrong and moot reasons and it's been a while since I was in Tempest anyway, hopefully for them it changed since then.

Unless you're somehow implying that the Dreamweaver sub section of the PWI forums = real life? then all the above posts are on topic as the thread is about Lostpoet and his 'special victory'.

In-game politics and opinions/commentary/discussion is what these sub-sections are for.

I'm sure Lostpoet realises it's nothing personal in case we hurt his feelings.

Well some members have expressed to me they don't have fun TW's. I am sure it is on the minds of some/most TW attendees. That said, it's not Tempest's fault. It's the server's fault. Power shifts and the server has to evolve/learn/gear or we end up with fast, crappy TWs.

After leaving Dyna I thought really hard about apping to Tempest. Once they defended 4 cities (no trashing here), I decided I couldn''t app there just now. I am friends with some Tempest members, or at least friendly with them. I do care about fun TWs. I've been without TW for like a month. b:shocked And really it's most of what I play PWI for. I just really want to feel like I am contributing to the faction I am in. So I am still weighing my options of what to do and where I can be of most help.

As for Lost's vid. I do think it is funny. Cause it is! Just like the jumping frogs at the end of Tempest videos... It's funny but if you are the faction that just got face rolled maybe it's offending? I don't know the history from the last 2 years but I think people should let it go. Rivalry is super FUN, grudges are not. Last comment was not directed at any one faction, general statement.

I enjoy all the videos uploaded. I watch them all at least 2x and sometimes in slow motion, so keep them coming.

.

First of all, dont get me mixed into politics. I dont know anything about your server tempest anyone whos in it, or any other faction on your server.

Surely power shifts etc, people move from one faction to another, factions merge and break up. All due to politics and drama. Its a server wide process everyone is part of. But people like to win, people like to join the faction that wins. And everytime dramas break up their faction or new players come to the PvP field, they get to make the choise. Join the top faction or join a more average one ?The choise many obviously make is what creates the totally dominating factions on each server.

You cant however come together with the strongest bunch of people and then when youre owning everyone say "oh its not our fault, you guys have to gear up". Players are all different. Some spend loads of money, some spend loads of time, some just have a real life and will never become OP. You cannot ask the last class of players to start CSing or give up their other hobbies so that they also become OP. You can only distribute the players fairly over the factions if you want good TWs.

So it is kind off their fault. I say kind off, because it is human nature to want to win. I have been thinking a bit recently about what the game developer could do to make the factions more equal without limiting them too much in their choises. (like a lower amount of players allowed per faction). Obviously the idea of giving a bonus to the faction with lesser lands was a nice one. Seems like they screwed that one up a bit though

I know what im talking about. I can be an A-hole like that myself. When one guy sought out the 6 best players to make a Civ 3 GOTM all-stars team, i was all to happy to be part of it and totally own everyone by a landslide. Fortunately, there was someone running that stuff that broke us up in 2 teams with 3 noobs added to each team. It made for the best competition ever and also the best learning environment for the added noobs

Set a limit on soulforce per side in TW, if people try to be smart and equip gears after entering TW, randomly start booting players out to equal out soulforce, kicking out would be within 5 seconds so it can't be abused either.

History is quite interesting, charting the movements of players and strengths of factions is pretty cool, it's a shame people get so upset by it, obviously there will be some bias depending on the historian but this is part of it.

Here's an unbiased history of the last two years. Anyone who wants to correct me on anything feel free. WannaBM may find this useful.

>Tempest were having pretty good fights with Dynasty, but mostly winning.
>Vex formed and started building up good ranks, with some people shifting there from Tempest
>God was a pretty successful 'alt' faction, some of the members wanted more than that so split and formed Relic, Merangelus and crew left God and went to Dynasty
>Dynasty started beating Tempest pretty comfortably, with the addition of God members and loss of Vex members
>Vex and Relic started having some really good fights, Relic started mostly winning, a chunk of Vex left and came over to Relic nearer the end of the season to fight Dynasty
>Relic and Dynasty had some epic fights start of the next season, was too close to determine who was stronger
>Some players from Vex, Troya, Kindrid and Regen went to Dynasty
>Dynasty started winning pretty comfortably vs Relic, Dynasty cut off Relic from Tempest and were able to beat both pretty easily
>Relic and Tempest merged
>Dynasty and Tempest had pretty fun fights, with mostly Tempest winning
>Tempest reached its peak in TW a few weeks ago successfully pulling off the servers 1st 4 way defend

As I recall, tempest lost more to dyna than it won also pre-god/relic/vex factions, but I could be mistaken there

Not quite a feat if you compare the factions you defended against to Tempest current strength, 1~2 squads of tempest could turtle at least 2 of them easily, if not 3. You could also rush to their base with a lot more squads, then move to the next, leaving somewhat decent people behind to finish the fights.

You forgot to state the sole reason why the merger happened.
At least Tempest's motives. They did have a lot of members who had, for whatever reason, a grudge against dyna, and recruiting mainly happened for 1 goal, that was to be able to take out dynasty, and they did that at any and all costs, even if it meant losing loyal/long term members due to accepting certain people even when the majority was against it.
That was during that time though.

You forgot that part of history there.
Then again, that's their choice, I couldn't care less, but it should be said when we're taking history into account.

That would be the bias I was talking about. Iirc you had left tempest a while before the merger took place. Not sure on reasons why you left but thats none of my business.

In terms of the merger I appoached Sun about it and all members of Tempest and Relic were spoken to and about 97% were thrilled by it. The two reasons was having an active healthy community and equal TWs with Dynasty rather than complete facerolls, objectives that were acheived.

Also I'll ignore the bit about the 4 way gank not being quite a feat, I know and everyone else from Tempest knows how challenging and what an achievement it was considering how close it came to a land being dropped. Most people thought we couldn't do it with less than 150 signups we did it with barely 110. Coupled with the fact that all the attacking factions got the new TW buff which was around 10-12 att & def lvls and also had 6 catapults each. You can think all you like about it, Tempest did me proud.

1) Wasn't ever in Tempest or Dyna or Relic or Vex so wasn't my thing about the ganks that were happening or not. Not my business. Thats Dyna history, not mine. As for this, well I just thought I'd take this opportunity to get myself in a video I've wanted to for a while, but never got the chance. Won't bother doing it again.

2) Me being sour? nah, like I said above, I just wanted a chance to make a video like this. And If i was in one of the factions ganking Dyna back in the day, I'd probably have the same attitude. People say they want fun TWs but really mean they want dominating TWs where they face roll everyone... Instead of long TWs that have a lot of back in forth.

** IN BootyCamp we had a 2.5-3 hour TW vs Vex and people rage quit because they lost complaining that TW wasn't fun. But I heard the same people say they like long 3 hour TWs regardless of the winning side...

3) I only applied to Tempest for really 1 person, my in-game wife. Don't really care for anything thing else. Once i got rejected, I got to go to Dyna anyways. Also, I didn't get Forced out of BootyCamp. Go get your facts straight. I had a some issues with some changes and people they were bringing in. And so I left, as it was time for a change of scenery anyways.

Great how you bring my mom into this. b:chuckle Real mature.
As for spawn killing, i just found it pretty stupid to put BoAs up like that, if anyone did want to come.
There was A SINGLE PERSON in tw.

I didn't want to be in your faction, applied there first to throw my wizi in there for alternate TWs. Mainly just to see what all the hype was in tempest + relic merge. 2nd time was just for the wife. Didn't really wanted to go there anyways.

As for respect, when I was in Booty, The_Sun and I had a decent standing relationship as well as a bunch of people who left from BC to Tempest. Pretty sure some of them vouched for me, but I don't really care.

Like I said, I got an opportunity to make a fun video, so I took it.
Why would I want to be in a your guild? When all you do is talk smack on the forums all day at Dyna people's posts.

As much as this would be lovely. As I really do respect you and goonz despite everything said in the past, I'm glad you didn't! You and Goonz are my only hopes for fun TWs in the near future, the only capable leaders left in Dreamweaver able to make a stand and moister enough power around themselves to bring back some fun to TW.

I agree, this server needs a strong leadership and a new faction that manages to catalyze all the power of the "bullied" factions into one super house. Sort of like you guys did in EQ with Ajay, sort of like you guys did with InTandem on your own. I really hope you guys manage to achieve so. It was said before there's little new players left in the system to consider the idea of a new faction built from scratch. Only the combined efforts of dreamweaver can pose a real fight against tempest. This is what I hope for the most.

It's hardly our fault dynasty collapsed. Post merger TWs were pretty tight. Dynasty winning the first port merger war in 2 hours, we won the second in about hour and a half. And while our recruitment died out because we filled up. Dynasty roster slowly faded away. Their members rather log their alts to TW against Equinox or Kindrid depending where they are. Or they altogether gave up on TW for a different game or for a different aspect of the game. The reality is that there was a tipping point where tempest was slightly superior than dynasty, and dynasty allowed this moment to completely turn over against them rather than try and control the beast.

If this 4 way gank had happened a month post merger, we would have lost it. Not because of sign ups, but because we weren't as developed, as coordinated. And dynasty wasn't as weakened as it is today. This server could have had a better control of our growth but it was too busy playing politics and having a landgrab bullying smaller factions out of the map. Rather than focusing on the true elephant in the room. You brought this upon yourselves.

The video isn't my problem, I am all down for seeing DP getting rekt by a no name sin. It cracks me up. And trust me, we will rightfully so call him names for this! I laughed from it, I loved it! Then I went back on the commentary in the forums, reflected the resentfulness, tied it back to the fact he was denied in his application. Realized he wouldn't be complaining about no "lack of fun" had he been accepted, and chuckled a bit.

I can sense you're trying to tie up loose ends and not branch out any other discussions so I'll leave it be, also on topic I wouldn't want to discourage you in any way from making videos, troll or otherwise, I love watching PWI videos especially from our server, and there's only a handful of people that actually post them nowadays, especially Dragslave who never even posts the links, so mean.

As Dblazen said earlier all of this is just in game politics and rivalries and what not, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we bear no ill will to anyone in game, we still play this game together even if it has been 'dying' for four years, and as for talking smack on forums it's fun to poke at your rivals now and then, if they get offended by it then that's their bad. Dreamweaver forums were dead for the longest time. I'm sure popcorn sales went up.

The 'mommy' reference was a figure of speech wasn't trying to bring your mum into this btw but w/e.

As for this, yes, I didn't really know where I wanted to be the first time. Dyna or tempest, wasn't sure. Some of the people I was talking to, were in tempest. And the first app anyways was for just my wizi while my sin stayed in bootycamp. Thought that's why I was "rejected" because wizi wasn't really a main toon and sin was in BC. 2nd app only happened because I met my in-game wife and she was in tempest, so I figured i'd try join her and this time I didn't have a toon in any real faction. But again, was only really going for her....

And to be honest, I guess you and dblaze are right. I never been part of this big end-game faction rivalry till recently and so I've probably gotten all caught up in this hype talking smack and **** that I really shouldn't have. b:shutup

Yes, I was wrong to post the words I did. b:surrender I should have just posted the video, and left it at that. Everyone can enjoy a good laugh no matter what faction.

@ Andres

I'm not looking to start TW guild. Goonz has been telling me I should do that too. I can't say I have the time or the energy for long haul. Any achievement will be short lived if I did. There is too much required in a leader role of a guild. I am only looking to contribute my experience.

When I first got back into the game, EQ had asked if I would join and help them rebuild. I've been seriously thinking about that offer lately. I feel as though when I point something out, they might listen and take it into account. I have no idea what EQ's roster looks like. There is a gear gap pretty wide in this game now too. I can't deny that, but I think strategy and numbers can close that gap.

Maybe we will see a reawakening of EQ in the future, I just can't say at this point in time. It's less likely we will see IT back.

This pretty much pinpoints issues a lot of servers are probably running into. The number of people willing to lead a new guild or even just willing help lead it is dwindling and not very many of the newer people are stepping up to fill those roles. So there's added pressure on those that have done it before to continue leading even if they don't really want to. -___-

Funny video Lost b:thanks do some more of those b:chuckle

Pretty fireworks and boas

Too much QQ here.

nixop

By reading darskies post someone would assume Tempest was strongest and most dominating faction on DW since server came out.


There is a big part you seem to forget.....and thats when 30+ strongest Regen players along with 10+ spades players including their full leadership jumped into Tempest wagon.

And all reason for Mera and this few people joining Dyna was to balance the things out and have long and fun tws against their old cala/regen friends.

They didnt come when Dyna was on top and already dominating (as some of you are trying to show)


sadly most of people posting here werent even playing or being in any of those factions back then and old players really dont care about forums,tws or they just quit the game


But for sure i know 1 thing, Darskies,kalo and crew...you guys will never be happy...winning or losing you guys always have the feeling to come here on forum and post some ****

first 40vs40 tws cray cray,now server merge cray cray and who know whats next

im really sorry you guys missed best server moments and never had chance to participate in fun and balanced tws but it was your own fault

its easy to be sheriff in town now when there is 250 active players per server

not only yours, but PWIs time has passed long ago...

feel free to come here and tell all your concern

That.. And why do you talk sht on the forums? I thought you quit the game like 3 years ago... You aren't in tempest and i know you aren't in dynasty. Seriously, Judging from your forum post, it's like you have a superiority complex and you're trying to make it all up now with bull****.

I actually was reading through a very interesting forum conversation about how useful can G16 players be in TW, and whether they can do all roles, support or DD or what's more beneficial for them.

The thread is right there. In case you feel you'd like to contribute, since you were a pretty skilled g16 player that got rank 9. It'd be interesting to hear how do you think the bump in gear affected your playstile.

I was also reading how Thunder Shock apparently (and pretty much all elemental/physical resistant debuffs) has been significantly nerfed with the appearance of passives. It's interesting to read this things in forums specially when you want to learn how to further play your class.

It also got me thinking how effective your cards and ornaments become, like how effective your base strenght and magic (for caster classes and BM/Barbs mostly) is affecting this base physical and magic defenses, and how they are combined with spirit and defense levels for reductions... Yet, I still have people that even to date try to kill me with elemental attacks when I believe my elemental defense already surpassed my physical defense by about 5k stat points.

I also dabbled a little bit in the post about the new expansion right here:

I come to the forums to educate myself about PWI. I learn a lot from the forums. For example, I just learned, I have no reason to explain to you why I reply to trolls with troll sentences. Yet I do it, because there is a need to prove, not to you, but to the rest of the people reading these posts. The amount of resentment that brings players to use alt accounts on a public forums to spew a bunch of nonsense about a period of time past, that wasn't even an accurate depiction of those events.

If you really think Merangelus went to Dynasty to "even the fight out" you're full of ****. I've seen Merangelus leave TW instances because "it affects my K/D ratios bro". When the fight gets too long. I loved Dave, he's a good friend at least on my part, but pleaseeeeee that just cracked me up.

If you really think the "period of balance" where Dynsty and Tempest "was long and the most amazing period of PWI" you really prove who was here in this forums QQing while others were having fun. Aubree and myself just finished reminiscing in this same thread about 2 longer periods where Equinox and Calamity (2 years on and off) and InTandem and Regenesis (6 months) had way more, far more longer war episodes of TRUE balance, 3 hour wars where nobody would win their attacks unless someone was lucky enough or dumb enough.

If you really think this "game is dead" and we want to be the "sheriff in town" you're full of ****. You're in the forums of the "dead game" talking **** because you care. Because you don't want it to die. Or because you can't let it die for you. Man the **** up and be a beacon of change rather than a crybaby posting from alts... You guys have a true fighting chance, we want you to bring it! To the point that as soon as those 4 way ganks started hitting us, we welcomed more, whether we won or lost the attitude would've been the same. We want this server to bring it to Tempest, it's not healthy for it to have one dominating faction. But don't blame the inabilities of others on Tempest, when Dynasty was roflstomping factions between 5 and 15 minutes throughout the last season, none of us came here to cry for a disband or a split, neither did we come here trying to get you guys to balance out the server because we knew it wasn't our problem. Read my "**** talks" pre-merge, the same speech stands, I don't change my mind because we're winning or we're losing. A stand needed to be made against the absolute dominator of the server, a stand was made, a new power rose, a new power must be taken down. The ball is in your court now. Make it happen.

It won't happen with passive-agressive posts. It won't happen with smart-assery. It will only happen if you stop trying to pick fights where there's no fights, and start making allegiances with those that share the same goals with you.

Good luck.

Hmmm... I don't know who your post was directed to.. Probably nixpop, In which case i don't know who he /she is and have no clue how correct/uncorrect he is. o_o


But im guessing the first part is directed to me? G16 +8 gear/+10 wep is a BIG difference to +5 r9r3 gear and +3 wep r9r3 wep. (For a mystic).
I have only been in dynasty since Oct 05, 2012.. and i didn't really pay attention to who joined what faction/Nor do i care now. Factions members are constantly changing, Before i was in Dynasty i was in Tempest. I love tempest, I farmed half of my r8r weapon before NW was introduced, Has it changed? From the tempest i remember, I can say it have. Has Dynasty changed? Of course xD, Now-a-days i don't see old friends like noobzkiller, reactionist, aeliah, nigelus, sonh, List goes on and on in chat. Anyways... I don't see where im going with this Really, Who cares about what factions merged, died, blah blah blah members joined blah.
