Shattered Kingdoms

My God will the crying ever end? WILL IT EVER END!?

One day, it shall. When the birds weep blood, the grass farts gold and the oceans turn into a writhing mass of trillions of merfolk in an orgy that lasts for a full year. Or, when there is a balanced guideline to follow for tribunal guards. I am sort of hoping for the first option.

I hate that people care so much about winning/losing that they are totally willing to give up all that make their tribunals unique. I mean it REALLY is sad and it shows the state of this game now.

No, no it doesn't. I personally killed probably like 200 Peacekeeper Templars when I played Vinziella, I don't think I even made a dent in their account.

This makes me rofl. Yes, tribunals should be unique. And the idea of give them all 40 level 30 NPCs and 3 champ levels NPCs is stupid.

But, uh, Terrus? Seriously...The Talons get 1 champ level NPC. The CoN gets 3 NPCs with over -twice- as much HP as a level 45 human merc PC.

If 3 Talons had a fight with 3 CoN members, the Talons would stand absolutely no chance. The only Tribunal who could possibly hope to stand a chance would be the Keepers.(in a 3vs3 fight with 3 guards each side)

As long as the CoN leaves -OTHER PEOPLE'S- guards alone, I have no problem with how their NPCs are set up. But please don't let me see any CoN players go OMGZ IT IS BALANCED!

If your priority is only "omg how much I will own with my guard NPCs in pvp" then again I'll say what a sad state the game has reached. RP never comes up in discussion anymore, just how much one tribunal owns the other. I don't care what the Talons get if the Talons think they are understaffed then perhaps the Talons should contact the IMM in charge of their area and discuss changing some things. People shouldn't be joining tribunals for what they have and don't have anyhow. Everyone thinks coming to the forums and making threads like this is going to change anything? You'd be suprised how much you can achieve if you just communicate with the right people. People would also save face in the process. As far as the CoN messing with guard NPCs if I see it IC I make a point to kill the guard NPC because *I* understand how frustrating it is for other tribunals, and I also understand that you people need those NPCs in order to feel safe.

Sure it does [speaking as someone who used to share the Templar-hunting hobby myself]!

As for the rest of this endless, endless argument - I think there's a bit of lameness and some valid points on both sides. Minor changes will probably be made as soon as time permits, although I doubt it'll be enough to stem the flow of tears regardless.

That's all I'd really tell them Thuban, I can only imagine what would happen if they had access to the CoN forums, and saw that we were about to get six orderable GM mercs that all come stock with adamantite battlespears, and they're double spec'd in them. Best to keep that on the DL.

Why people discuss the weapons that NPCs come with when those weapons are limited is beyond me. Saying that the giant legionnaire in menegroth comes with an adam flamberge is stupid. He would do more damage if he came with a steel flamberge, because an adam flamberge is always going to be being used.

NPCs with stone spears are far scarier than NPCs with energy/adam spears. Newbs.

The whole thing was a joke post Algon, I wasn't even making a reference to the giant legionnaire. I just spat out the first sick spec combo I thought of off the top of my head. Not to mention you can't double spec anymore.
