Shattered Kingdoms

On the flip side I could say that CRS is the cancer that is killing SK. It turned the game into an I-WIN game from being an RP game. If you have been playing as long as you claim, you remember what is was like. But that is another argument entirely.

I have been playing since 98 and I agree. It took focus from roleplay and turned it to objects in the game.

agreed it was way back in the day when you had to rp each other to death. It was fun.

HoL is imbalanced and always will be. Darkie melee classes will ALWAYS get straight up destroyed by any merc or barb with a hammer.

The game is always an I-WIN scenario. With CRS, you can't sweep it under the rug of musterbatory roleplay. CRS represents one potential solution to the mechanical goals of SK.

And despite all this I see a lot more darkie melee classes running around the mud than HoL wielding ones. Personally, I can think of a really simple way to avoid getting charged by an HoL, and it only costs 2 plat or so.

I'm going to go ahead and throw in that in said log he is using the flaming war lance, IE flame > centaur anything

Shield kinda takes the bite out. The spell, I mean.

I don't have a means to check it, I wasn't logging at the time and his logs on the log site do not have an equip list in them, but I looked at him after the charge and could swear it was Cabal weapon (not sure if there is any point in hiding the name of the said weapon, but as per the OOC/IC rules, I will continue) that was being wielded. If this was not the case and can be proven (as much as logs can be proven), I will retract my statement - I know my race's weakness and will accept it.

I used the flaming lance of Taslamar to kill Skad and I used a hammer ability to kill Tysemry. I'm not going to say any more then that. I'm not going to discuss cabal powers here, but there were alot of factors involved in that kill.
