The Lobby of the Waxing Moon
The reception area of this inn pans out into a much more spacious room.
The walls have been pieced together from ash-colored bricks, which wrap around
the room in a uniform pattern save for two points. The western wall extends
outward to form a desk at which the inn's business is centered, while the
east wall indents to permit for a quaint fireplace. The floor here is of a
varnished wooden paneling, creaking lightly when stepped upon. Several
leather armchairs and couches cater to the weary travelers and guests, and a
small marble sculpture trickles water into a basin in the center of the
room.
Obvious exits: s u
The concierge is here, tending to the lobby.
Savra the lutist is here, playing a soft melody in the corner.
The Innkeeper is lying here prone.

Every single one of those "He's already on the ground." messages should lag you the exact same amount that trying to act while prone does.

yeah, because sorcs need to be even more invincible

If it takes you more than one trip/bash to kill a sorc...

Well, let's just say you're doing it wrong.

Grep. You don't PK.

And the tactics/thinking involved in that would be getting within range to bash/trip said Sorc. And getting past MI.

grep · **Joined:** Fri Apr 17, 2009 9:50 pm **Posts:** 5522

I don't pk because after careful examination, PK is not about tactics as much as it is preparation and out-of-character knowledge.

And because there is no reward to PK other than more PK. Can you say social grind?

WickedWitch · **Posted:** Thu Jun 24, 2010 2:27 pm

Tactics do matter.

Most of the time? Sure, they don't.

But, you can think yourself to victory from time to time.

Baldric · **Posted:** Thu Jun 24, 2010 2:33 pm

grep, I realize you'd rock hardcore in pvp if you ever bothered to try your hand at it.

The problem is that not everybody is a genius like me, so this simple fact isn't apparent to all.

So when you repeatedly act like some sort of pk champ on the forums, and ridicule how simplistic the tactics in this game are, even though the only pk logs that exist of your characters involve them dying in spectacular fashion, some people might not take you very seriously.

Just to silence the barely suppressed laughter of all those fools, perhaps you should take a month to dominate the pvp aspect of this game. People will then realize that you know what you're talking about. Then you can go back to the lesbian mudsex or whatever it is you do so much better than everyone else.

And I'm okay with not being taken seriously by morons.

You should be too.

Oh wait, you are, Mr. Guy. :drunk:

No one ridicules a human who didn't lose money in real estate when they say real estate is a bad market. Few think less of someone who says they didn't become a programmer because there would be too many in their generation.

I have something the vets don't have. I have savvy. I know PVP isn't worth my time, because I realize what slight acumen you needed to succeed at it, but rather, the time and knowledge that made the difference.

... And I'd rather spend my time mudsexing. Or irl sexing. Or doing anything other than, you know, wanton silly violence. I like creating things, not destroying!

Ohnoes. Syn has a merc / barb. Run awaaaaaaaaay.

In all seriousness, I may not PK but I agree with Syn on this one. Once you're bash locked, it's game over a good 90% of the time.
