Cwain the nightshade gimp

[swords]

anyone seen this guy around???
preys on:

lvl 20 casters and people who are on low hp's after resting...

i hope someone in hibernia can send him a message...
tell him he is the gimpiest nightshade i have ever had the misfortune to meet.

even the Lurikeen shades can usually give me a relitively decent fight...and no just because you can backstab me for 89 dmg while i am resting on 1% hits doesn't make you uber

89 dmg whatever next

oh and gratz to the rest of the Hibs for coming out and having a bit of a scrap. very refreshing to fight you guys again.

 

[keela is]

Gimps aren't bad !
they'r just not so U83r l33t peepz
They don't spedn 23 hours a day in daoc, they don't get lvl weaps to use in thidranki or aren't totaly aware that speccing is the most important (stupid) thing in daoc

 

[old.Psi]

Funny, he didn't seem too bad for me, then again, all SBs/NSs kinda suck against me.

/Metallurgy

 

[old.Psi]

Fs double post.

 

[swords]

yeah DP's are annoying.
well i just find it irritating that he would rez kill me on purpose.
i mean there was a runemaster in front of me and i hear he does backstab alot. i would have mashed the RM and hit me with a garrotte or whatever on the way back. he would have 2 kills to his name and i would understand.

and i know he was watching me for about 10 mins before cos he was /wave spamming me and everyone else on the bridge.
next time try and take me fresh. i will give him good fight i am sure.

(btw anyone noticed this patch that the NS armour has been given some lovin??? i have noticed a slight reduction in damage against them with things like Garrotte and PA so i no longer 2 hit kill them. this brings them more online with the infiltrators in my opinion. on a similar note the infiltrators seem a little easier to hurt even after they PA me.)

hmm Metallurgy i remember the name with my Skald Lostold, i think i just mezzed you and left ya be. your a plate wearer right???

 

[SilverHood]

one of the few people who can PA me, and still die to me

 

[Uncle Sick(tm)]

Well, seen and grouped with Cwain tonight - and seen him do more than well. So stop the bullshitting, Swords.

He took on yellow cons, chased Albs half way up to their pk - stealthed right into their midst and pa-ed yellow (to me at 24) casters.
What is he supposed to do? PA Armsmen?

Oh and Albs - get a grip and stop hugging your guards. Tonight was just ridiculous... you outnumbered us and still didn't come out to play.
What a sad realm, really. Mids have guts at least (and they don't laugh spam you once they kill you...)
The Men at Arms must have dents in their armor from all the bloody hugging.

 

[swords]

fine...if he wants to rez kill me then sure i will let him.

obviously i am just a shitstiring bullshitting nOOb right???

and whats wrong with PAing armsmen??? it isn't impossible to take down a plate wearer you know....it is a challenge however more so than a resting Kobold sb on 5 % hits...im sure i will return the favour someday mark my words...

 

[Uncle Sick(tm)]

The better if he takes out other stealthers.. even rez-sick.
It's called a 'smart move'. He's not playing on your side after all...

Complaining about being rez-sick killed is in one league with compaining about being ganked in the frontier.
*yawns*

 

[swords]

smart aka i cant PA for shit so ill prod the nearest rez sick guy for small dmg...
some smart move dont even get any rps for it

 

[Cavex ElSaviour]

rez kills are good kills You anoy the middies/hibbies and u don't get any rp's

 

[swords]

yes i agree they DO annoy me.
hence the existence of this thread....

LOL
... uhm... sorry to break it to you - Thidranki is not about rp.
If you want to earn 'real' rp, level your char to 40+.

Perhaps you should go and hug your guards next time you're rez sick. See? Already a lesson learned in the battlegrounds.

 

[swords]

but if i "hug" the guards i'll get bitched at...just like the Albs did

... read, comprehend, then hit 'reply'.
I said go and rest up at pk if you are rez-sick.

Not 'go to Thidranki to do your knitting while having tea with the guards', like the Albs do.

 

[swords]

we dont have tea in Midgard...we drink Mead...(apart from the trolls but you dont want to knwo what they drink...*shudders*)

perhaps i will run all the way back to the pk to avoid such rez killing lamers in future....or perhaps i needto get some hp's so i could run more than 3 pixels a min straight after...it all boils down to the cave spec shaman being the norm realy and a lack fo healers.

i think i know 2 healers in thidranki atm and about 50000000 cave shaman....go figure.

Yep, armsman.

Actually, he did PA me and snared me, so he got away but grats to the guy for trying

Tbh he did seem a better player than most of the SBs/NSs I come across in there.

And I also agree with Sicky about Albs camping CK when we outnumber the enemy. Believe me, if I'm up there, I'm working at getting the albs down.

And swords, unless it's a really gimpy armsman, I doubt you would take him down. I've had two SBs attack me at once (one got his PA, I spotted the other one and broke him out of stealth before he could do his) and killed them both solo.

 

[Uncle Sick(tm)]

Thanks, Psi.
A voice of reason amidst the "I aer teh leet" screams...

Well, still had a blast last night - will see if I find a decent group later and kill some more Mids'n'Albs.

I like cabalists and the sounds their fat golems make once their daddy goes down...*cackles*

 

[old.Psi]

Well I had to stick how uber I am in there somewhere!

 

[swords]

it's fine debt payed.
killed Cwain twice tonight i suppose that'll do. though i was busy trying to organise the Middies for a keep raid...
did quite wekk for a failed raid managed about 33 Mids at one point. Finally got em out of their holes and into the field.

I also notice how odd it is that i always see Metallury charging down at us practically alone most times, you usually get gang raped though. (loved the mass of bodies next to the gatekeeper mostly your fault i assume???)

 

[Roalith]

On to an earlier comment, res killing: It might be lame, but it's a valid tactic, means the healers have to res even more and slows the opposition down.

Asides from that, you don't get RP towards your cap

Usually because the albs that are with me decide to run away (albs have a habit of running away when we can usually win, if you haven't noticed, and I don't like running).

I have no idea what you mean by this.....

 

[swords]

im pretty sure the black clad armsman who was using the thidranki gatekeeper trick was you....and im sure at least 2 mids were caught by it. aswell as the bunch of albs who tried to get insdie the keep before they were ganked.
from where i was standing (slightly away from the bowmen) it looked messy

 

[old.Psi]

Pfft, I got stunned just out of range of the gate keeper and got ganked

 

[swords]

nothing wrong with that. if i remember correctly that same night i made the error of performing a PA too high up near the CK doors.

this mean't:

A: i was targetable by every albion there
B: it wasn't difficult to mezz/slow/stun me
C: all 5 CK bowmen at the front/sides were in range
D: all the infs who were to the left and right of the target could DOT snare debuff and disease me
E: i got killed....

also noticed one of the albion casters had the brains to dmg buff the bowmen too

Ahh, thought the death spam said I'd been killed by Uncle Sicko...

It's a small price to pay for AoE DOTing your lads as they all stand together, then watching them do the dance of pain. Nearsighting your casters and archers is also a lot of fun.

Not that one actually sees that many Hibs in Thidranki, at least not during my time there.

Silly nightshade unstealthed during my first trip to Thid and started fighting my pet - leaving me unmolested next to it... Thank goodness

With the caster shield AF bug now fixed I'm not being one shotted quite as often, also good news...

 

[allnewdave]

Sorry Swords but I gotta agree with Old Sick here. I seen Cwain around and I think he does a fine job. One of the few 'thinkers' in Thidranki at the moment.

Armsmen are as easy to kill as everybody else, just remember take out your target first worry bout the rest later. Sure they'll hit u hard but thats coz they are fighter class so live with it. It doesnt matter if u die trying to kill someone, whats important is that YOU killed THEM and not the other way around.

Armsmen talk tough but how many do you see running around without the caster/cleric/scout/inf entourage........ (strokes beard at spelling). Well lets say not many and leave it at that. To those that do have an /em salute.

To the funny highlander (mialslslsldk something blue cloak/shield) who laughed at my troll m8 as he lay dead on the bridge - haha - bet u didnt see that coming did u Just remember the more u laugh at peole the more ill have to hunt u down. And less of the flexing also - Zerging 3 ppl with 12 does not make u hard.

 

[old.Psi]

Hale, you couldn't kill my armsman before I killed you

 

[swords]

right then....

before i cap i will try and take you one on one if thats ok with you.
i would like to go out with a bang...(or is it a splat???)

Then even if i do lose i can at least get a good test of average PA/Garrotte on plate....you never know i may get you to half health (fingers crossed)

 

[gwari]

the reason why you hit nightshades for less now is because of the armourtable changes swords. Hib leather is now neutral to slash and resistant to thrust. Oh and i perf infis and sbs for around 150 damage, who said nightshades were gimps?

On another note, ive been rezzkilled tons today/night by Mids and Albs. It happens.

Thufir, lvl 24 nightshade.
