Just Another Random Thread

I wonder if I'm old enough to be considered old now xD. I doubt it, but a lot of people in the past have quit iirc.

Although I was not in a TW faction at the time of the mirages reward change, that did annoy me as well given the reward of mirages just seemed like another way of taking any ingame income away from the players.
--- I also remember the damn dungeons becoming changed to time limited of 4 hours which STILL pisses me off to this day. Just before that change, myself and two irl friends between levels 59-62 (cleric, barb and me a psy) took two days to trio valley of disaster unwined for our cultis and had a friggin blast.
--- That was the time when dq item drops' coin values started getting screwed with (also pisses me off to this day). And they eventually gave us dq points to "make up for our loss", not. There is very little dq points really gives options to.

So I think I am an old enough player (been playing since the middle of february 2010, I believe just after Rising Tides came out... Apostasy is my first character I made as well as my main) to answer for plenty of people.
--- The reason I stay is because I am able to fairly well customize my character(s) in a way that I like. That includes how characters play according to my playstyle for them and how they look. To me, rpg's are about building a character, and playing that role... rather than just sitting and watching some character on the boob tube follow its script without any interactions. Sure, I take my main more seriously than any other character... but I have another psy that is built and geared like a vit barb (ax/hammer weilding with heavy armor, and a 3 star level 5 sphere he crafted that is all he has enough magic to use his skills with) : StupidNoob (40-ish atm) ... and a venomancer that has no attack pets and no foxform (made her because of all the wahwah i heard from venos about "if my pet dies, im dead"), and she doe just fine : Suicide_Doll (60-ish atm). And a small list of others...
--- I like the TW aspect of 80 players versus 80 players and the territory map attached to that. It has an air of both fun (during the event itself) and epeen if your faction gets enough territories (and even a territory really). TW is basicly my equivalent of most people's sports games they watch (i never got into that culture), the only difference is Im on the team and I can be a part of making that great play that changes the game score midway... ok, maybe not me, yet... b:surrender The only real improvement they could make to TW is by having the battelefields in each territory resemble the actual territory it is.
--- I like the NW aspect of being able to even go head to head with guildies too (<3 ya's QQme). Could be nice for guildies giving feedback in PvP advice too. The NW aspect of the game is really the best thing PW has introduced to the game for being profitable ingame compared to any and every other instance. The gear upgrades that can be made through NW is also nice, without needing to spend hundreds of dollars cs'ing or hundreds of hours farming. Unfortunately, the ones profitting the most from this event are still the ones that need it the least. But they likely spent the most real money too, so I guess its fair so they can upgrade their alts.
--- And I think Im here because I just already spent too much money to leave b:cry

I have played plenty of mmorpgs since 1996-1998?... I began with that one with trammel & felucia... (PW could learn to make skill levels mean something from this one) and then moved to that one where you quest... forever... and its sequel... (pw could make raid dungeons and instill a mentor system based on these) and then went over to another one that had something about guards, and i think vans... And the only thing PW is really missing at this point is more on the PvE questing end. Its like they simply ran out of ideas and are letting that "power creeper" thing kill off the game, along with their own being greedy. Bring back the dq coin values, bring back limitless dungeons (unless the quest itself is a timed quest... and dont just time quests to be jerks... and make sure if someone reads the quest before they take it that they know its timed). They are also killing the game by making the "top top end game gears" SooooOOOO friggin ridiculous in just how powerful they are compared to just the few steps below. PW does not know subtle.

You should read up on the goon glitching in FCC that finally went public after no telling how long it has been abused. That will sum everything up, nothing has changed b:chuckle

@Apostasy: I'm pretty sure that is one the longest posts RT forums have ever seen haha. overall it just feels like they gave a big middle finger to the older generation players.

And Daravon is a legend of sorts. He used to be a well known, highly controversial WC personality. Sorta like me, only a lot more offensive.

I've made longer posts b:avoid and yeah, a finger? is more like a steel wool glove without lube b:cry And Daravon... he was faction leader of Eternity, the first faction I was ever in in raging tides (between like level 18-30-ish?). During the time I was in Eternity, Daravon seemed to be quick witted with the remarks, sharp as an arrow, and quite funny. He seemed very confident and to be an all around upstanding guy. It wasnt until after I got out of Eternity and formed Golgotha with my two irl friends that I started seeing Daravon's "other side" come out. I never knew he could be such a troll while I was in Eternity. b:shocked

This game is really not my thing anymore. I play that newer game that allows you to name other mmos on forums unlike this jacked up company...

For me the breaking point of this game is that you cannot faction and/or team pk 24/7. The gear in this game is stupidly balanced, and recently got even more so. I could easily get recast. But what would even be the point? The people made this game worth playing for longer than it was actually worth playing.

But there's always fun people to play with in other games.

hey Zav, mail me account infos and all the riches u accumulated over the months u played, ty.b:dirty
