I got lots of old Thugsy's films. This one must be about one of his best against a twinked and fully buffed reaver that was killing multiple buffed opponents at the same time. Thugsy dropped him first fight. Amazing thing is - and who has ever been able to do this on any other alt? - Thugsy was unbuffed! and never used Toa ever!

You can see him in full flow in this fight with multiple weapon swapping, run-throughs and combo weapon swapping.

He shouldn't have been able to do this agaist any reaver nevermind one in this gear and buffed! When you think that he never had any gain really bar stealth from being an sb as he was full axe and poison. His first hits were just poison applicators with piss poor damage.

Thugs takes out Simiec

That video about sums Thugsy up - and he usually popped a potion but he didn't in this fight and still came out on top!

 

[Nwiaofgdfjpasf]

Simiec was a good Reaver but not as good as most. In this fight he doesn't play very well. If he just engages and get stun on you you have no chance. I don't think I even saw a single lifetap on you. Thugs didn't play too well in that fight either as he made the mistake of /sticking him for lengthly periods of time. Lucky there was no backrun into Indigo from the Reaver's point of view so this was his own fault.

Whereas Thugs was a good player he never established himself as one of the best because of the lack of title. Also, no one really knew about him as he just played every so often killing some people. The real celebrities of Thidranki were those whose deathspam always populated the region, and of course, those with titles whom had a visible way of distinguishing themselves from the rest of the Thidranki population.

I get the feeling you are Thugs, if so how are you? Long time since we last spoke...

 

[Lecathar]

cant understand why u post in rvr section ?

 

[Excuses]

Well hello all, especially Zede.

Yes I am Thugs of old. May as well own up to it now. Prob get banned straight away. Just re-joined to be able to get videos for my site and send private messages really. I had a real shock when I read this post. Made me laugh though. Nice to see that I haven't been forgotten. We all want to be remembered for something or other eh?

I haven't played for a couple of years now. For one thing my eyesight has deteriorated. I had to have my monitor brightness up high to play and I sure strained my eyeballs. No way I would consider playing again. Would probably end up blind in no time.

I took my SB as far as I possibly could and hung on for as long as I could too. I get little pangs now and then about having a little go and I did have a US account for a while but I found that 10 minutes was enough time to play and I quickly got bored. I like to have challenges in my life and I completed all the ones that I thought I should in the game. Great game mind and I like to see people getting emotional about it.

How do I spend my time now?
Well I work on my site a lot - which I have just reopened for videos etc - and I play the guitar mainly. One has to keep developing in life and not stagnate.

This forum has gone very quiet now and only the hard core are left it seems. More of a social gathering for the DAoC gamers of old.

Like I always said though Dorimor you should have made videos as they stop everyone dead in their tracks - proof! Also nice to see them at times - old memories.

Oh well - how long before I am banned again I wonder?

Regards
Bluesplayer - Thugs of old!

 

[Nwiaofgdfjpasf]

Glad you're keeping well mate. I remember listening to your guitar playing it was very nice You have a fair point - Freddyshouse is kind of dead now along with the English server but these things happen. I've always found it surprising how few people can understand the joy Thidranki brings to some people and the skill that it sometimes takes to do well in it.

Take care mate and speak to you on the forums I hope.

Thats the funniest thing i have read today, skill in thidranki....priceless

I get the feeling I been down this road before?

Am on Dorimor's side on this - well I would be.

If you can play well at 50 you should be just as good in Thid shouldn't you? All you are lacking are a few toys.

By the way I taunted level 50 boys for months to come kill me - they all died! Why? Well I was by far the better player! Eh I let them buff up too - me no buffs!

Damn I been missing these heated discussions - BRING IT ON!

By the way do they ban you outright now or do you get a warning?

 

[Excuses]

Isn't it amazing but after all this time I can still turn into a raving lunatic on these forums if I give into my impulses. Not for me anymore as my feelings swing from euphoria to extreme embarassment and I find it alarming. Think I will bow out gracefully from this discussion and hand you over totally to Dorimor.

Nice to be remembered.

Cheers
Thugs of old!

The funny thing is that about half of the people who said these comments had alts in Thidranki which could easily be killed. Whilst the other half refused to put their money where their mouth is, so to speak, and never braved Thidranki. Maybe because they did not want to be humiliated? Who can tell I can tell you one thing though, when you step into territory owned by people like me and Thugs, you won't find it a walk in a park. You won't get a warm reception like in RvR where fights are arranged, and 8vs8 cannot be added on. Thidranki is a tough place, as those who have preached against it have discovered.

 

[aika]

8v8s cannot be added on? Where is this place!

 

[Zede]

Am i reading this right - Thugs made lots of vids showing him pwn in thid, and dori has made, none ?

proof is in the pudding ..

[Excuses]

Can't help but post a few more times, but I will not get involved in heated arguments. Thing is I must have been good - very good - else you lot wouldn't keep bringing me up. It seems the less I post the better I become in your eyes . Leg-end in my own lifetime!

You want me to put down all that I found out on how to fight well with maximum effectiveness? I know that some level 50 guys started emulating my moves - multiple weapons - stick/face runthroughs. But I also used a few other methods too that might help players improve.

 

[PewPewAS50.50]

Think you folks just need to realize that the lack of varibales in thid compared to bigboy rvr means that it requires less of you as a player to master, perfect and dominate.

Just be done with the whinez0r already, no1 is gonna get into a heated discussion with you anyways, the only ones who really cared about thid would hang out in the thid section not here anywayz.

 

[Manisch Depressiv]

Yeah, cause new frontiers or DAoC in general requires skills.

Two-shotting someome with AoM3/4 and MoM5 and WP5 is oh so bloody skilled, I don't know.

Also, running a "we have a no life but play on 6 out of 7 evenings DAoC since 3 years in the same group" versus randomly grouped causals in shit gear and not on voice comms is almost as hard as being a military special forces member risking your life in service for your country and the oil.

Same shit as Thid really. Without DI and all those instas, semi balanced Thid groups were actually harder to keep up, more confined space and less room for mistakes.

But keep deluding yourself.

Played thid a few times, it's a low level BG for players to have a bit of fun to break the tedium of levelling, problem is that in a pvp context, certain classes in thid are very unbalanced. Example being i played a suppression BD in there for a few days while levelling him, got from 20-24, rr1l4, wearing free /level armour and a few rog jewelry bits i found lying around and only ever died when fighting more than two enemies. 1v1 the class was simply unbeatable. I wouldn't consider myself any good at playing the BD, mainly because I, like the other 99.9% of players who ever enter thidranki, am playing a /level 20 toon I have hardly ever even played in pve. It's just that some classes have a huge advantage over others at that level, If i had templated and buffed that BD im sure i could probably have killed small groups without any problem, it's just that easy and just that pointless. No challenge whatsoever

Playing US classic there is a lone enforcer nightshade in Demons Breach, he's templated and simply kills everything that enters. It's not that he's necessarily any good, it's just that he has a massive advantage over those players who only go there in free kit for a quest.

 

[Manisch Depressiv]

Idd, just look at Kzn. XD

At least he never needed to make 1 minute plus intros with 2% of the fights where he didn't add, unlike you.

Not once did we need to add to farm your group tho.

 

[gohan]

thid is extremly easy, i play iy when i got bored, frapsed some stuff, 2v1 3v1 5v1 at one point on my inf but no point makign vid as i feel would be fairly boring, might make one for myself for nostalgia but wont release it as its all the same



1 hit caster


1 hit blue stealther

evade stun pincer pincer pincer

garrote restealth PA ect ect ect

also most people in thid either

1. go to level from 20-15 for a laught

2. want a few RA's to help with leveling

3. have a very casual roggy char for when bored


i personaly always temp thid chars to the max sam as i do at 50 but most dont so being able to "Pwn" then is not great sucsess. even when you do take 2-3 fullybuffed yellow cons at once, you know either they suck or thier roggy so where the achivement?

No challenge whatsoever

Of course it doesn't take much skill to kill 1 or 2 people with a pre-nerf Suppression BD, even 3 - 5 people doesn't take much skill. Skill is when you can take 8+ like I did sometimes

I thought that was a Lone Enforcer Infiltrator? There is definatly one on one of the US servers, not sure though. To be honest it's pretty easy to get Lone Enforcer providing you are a bit lucky. I think it's so much harder to get 25,000 (Master Enforcer). I think there are a few of these on German servers, Thidranki is pretty tough over there

 

[aika]

There're a few Battle Assasins (100k kills ) on USA, but again titles mean shit, usually its just amount of time you play.

 

[Manisch Depressiv]

Yes, I know: For you adding was a way to show how much better your group was while for the other groups it was a way to show how much worse the groups are.

Try again.

Basicly like Thid is your last videos on the US servers in new frontiers then.

And also, want to get from 20 to 15 in Thid! Paying 5p!

Not gonna get into a bickering match with you again you bitter bitter person.
Atleast i can say my group has never added on a group and lost miserably, can you say the same? XD

 

[Vsepiofhdiofwehaspd]

Impossible. I won't believe it unless you give me a screenshot but I highly doubt what you are saying is true. A good player on a consistent, active server can probably get 27k-30k a year. How long have titles been around? Well 1.75A went live on the 6th of June 2005 and 1.75E went live on the 7th of June 2005. For the sake of the arguement let's say 6th June 2005.

From 06/06/05 to 16/03/08 (present day) so let's say that is rough two years since /title came out. Any amount of kills he had in Thidranki before would not have been recorded. That would be an average of (365*2) + (30*9) which comes out conveniently as 1000. You are basically saying that someone is getting 100 kills a day in Thidranki. Now this is perfectly possible to get 100-500 kills in Thidranki on a particular day but you aren't including:

- Days when the server may be down.
- Days when the player may not be playing, for example:

• Christmas/Thanksgiving(which is big in America)/Parties
• Extra school or work commitments
• Family issues/problems could mean they are off for lengthly periods of time
• Other MMORPG or game commitments
• Commitments with other characters on DAoC
• May not be feeling well etc etc

- Days when there simply isn't enough action, (believe me, even on a cluster like Limors some days the action simply isn't good enough. Don't forget that Thidranki IS a battleground and action is neither as consistent nor as much as level 50 RvR).

And then again, of course the date of 1.75 is a rough estimate as my sources could have been wrong and it could have gone live later. Or it may have gone live in July, not June. Bottom line is, I'd say 50k-75k is possible for a Thidranki character at the present day, but 100k? ...

There is simply no way in Thidranki. If you provide me with a screenshot I would happily eat my words.

 

[gohan]

Basicly like Thid is your last videos on the US servers in new frontiers then.

lol in what way? my vid was of a melee scout fighting loads of diffclasses ect showing that melee scouts arent as useless as every1 thinks, ye it can get repetitve but was v som many diff classes ect

any video of any solo class will get repetitive, but from the feedback i got most people enjoyed it and as your opion is worthless to all but yourself ill let u talk shit in the corner to yourself

Did I say thidranki?
I would give a SS, but cba to renew my US acc, there're a few on hib/merlin.

PS: Even with that title , that battle assassin druid still played like shit. Again, titles just mean how much time you play.

Well, you quoted my original post where I said that Master Enforcer in Thidranki was harder to get than Lone Enforcer so I assumed you were talking about Thidranki, misunderstanding I guess

And 100k in 50 RvR is nothing rare, seen many on the German servers. However my point about Thidranki still stands
