for me, as far as I can remember, is probably when I bought an obsidian earring for 120k and overenchanted it and destroyed it. then bought another for 30k and accidentally sacced it, then bought one last one for another 30k and everything was fine after that.. but that was a pretty sh*tty day.

a really bad moment for me is when i fell down a volcanol and died(death trap). The 2nd time around i got smart and cast fly on myself. I came to the same place, dancing over the volcanol's mouth all safe and sound until i looked down the volcanol. I thought that you can actually fly down the volcanol safely...boy i was wrong. I flew down the volcanol to see whats inside, that's when i death trapped for the 2nd time in the exact same spot. so my best equ got purged and so was my backup equ.

However, the worst moment on DL is when Arl retired

oh yeah, that reminds me, I had a good percent in adamantite and unlearned it accidentally, that sucked too.

I once had four portals of mixed Mitrill, Adamantite, and Meteorite Ore (back when all three were extremely rare), and had run out of iron ingots to reinforce with. I typed "reinforce" and all in the next room, but didn't notice it. The room collapsed and I lost everything.

What even makes it more fun was I came back, mined another two portals of mixed ore and did the same thing again. I just laughed and quit mining for a while.

I think my worst moment was after I quit and I realized that a certain someone whom I used to trust had ordered someone to change the sharepassword on my account so that another certain person was unable to have access to it.

Very uncool. Everything else pales in comparison to this single act of irresponsibility, betrayal of trust, and inconsideration.

laurana if you want to talk over aim i am willing to explain, but if you dont want to hear that's fine.

I'll explain the rest in the next paragraph if you are intersted to read on.

I asked Daematrix to change your password because I thought he was your boyfriend and you wouldnt mind. I also thought that since you already quit the game, you also wouldnt mind. The reason why i asked him to change the password was simply because i didnt want to boot you from the guild but I had little choice since alot of people had access to your account.

Believe me, i didnt intentially abuse your trust. Had i known that you intentionally left your account behind for everyone to access i wouldnt have ordered Daematrix to change the password. I appologize for treating your account as if it was mine. And you are right, I had to right to asked someone to change your account. But i want to make it clear to you that I did not have the intention of abusing your trust.

Wow. Well first off, this proves exactly why you don't deserve my trust. Daematrix and I dated.. for about 2 or 3 weeks. 8 MONTHS AGO! Someone obviously has been a little on the self-absorbed side.

Regardless of my intentions for who can access my account, you never should have ordered anyone to change the sharepass to my account. Didn't you wonder why I gave you the sharepass, yet entrusted Kiasyn with the real password?

I've always turned a blind eye to the things people have said about you. You never did anything before now to deliberately piss me off. Now though, I realize they were all right. I should have listened to them a long time ago.

You're selfish, greedy, completely disrespectful to anyones needs other then your own, and incapable of realizing that someone other then yourself matters.

You're the most self-absorbed person I've ever met.

I understand that it wasn't your intention to abuse my trust. The fact of the matter though is that you never consider the feelings of others before acting.

And that's what pissed me off more then anything. Your complete lack of respect, and human decency.

The darkest day of Dark-Legacy was when people decided it didn't count as multiple accounts if they didn't make the account. After all, its perfectly alright to just 'happen' to know the real password of a friend, right?

Maybe I should just go convince 37 people I know to make accounts and 'happen' to give me the password. After all, thats completely legal these days right?

my worst day was the day i joind actually, not because i joined but because of what happened. i had just reached like... level 7 or 8 and then i died like 12 times stright and i actually downleveled. im not sure if this is somthing that ever happened to anyone else but it happened to me, oh yeh wait i know one more person it happened too... Sato, she started at almost the time as me (we are best friends and started because another friend of mine/hers at the time was hooked on this game and showed it to us. another time was when i got jailed for attacking genfly once by accident when i was a noob and when i got arrested i lost 2000XP then i got hit with the badge again and lost another 2000XP then again and lost about 600XP all when i was about to level. that was a sucky day. and when i reported it to...... i cant remember who, but it was a caretaker, they told me they have no clue how it happened if it did but there was no way for me to prove it so i could not get the XP back.

The ay i spent 2 hours straight with 3 full portals of hawthorne planks trying to make a masterpiece quarterstaff. I was at 100% and everything before i started and i still didnt make a single MP!!! I ran out of wood too, that was the annoying thing. Next day i logged on again, got a couple more planks and made one on my first try.

Oh, and also the day some of my portals decided to dissapear on thier own. I lost a portal of planks and my alt lost a portal with 15 fecs in it. No one can explain why they vanished, but i'm also not the only person who this has happened to so dont think i just misplaced them on my own.

(a proven recipe for disaster, but i didnt care) I go to epics with my trusty pet sidekick and we breeze through a few dungeons. cool, i'm only 200 exp from a level! oh oh, ran out of mobs to kill. go to the slab, sac it, wind up in next level. the first thing i encounter is a hell bovine. it PWNS ME! dang it! gotta start over agin from 3000 exp. bummer, so much for the rest of my day.... i ressurect, try again, kill it get 400 exp.....ok, good exp, maybe he was just a fluke....kill 5 more in a row with minor damage...get PWNED by the next one. shit, my pet dies AGAIN! been dieing alot lately, so shes only a 46 now...then i get killed again while searching in vain for the exit slab. i go home, shamed and 5000 gold poorer and with 2000 exp less than when i started.

that's a more accurate description. The bard class is not hard to level, every other class is just easier to level.
Another way to put it, is the bard class might actually involve the player watching their screen while they play, instead of running a script on monday, and logging back in on friday to see how you're doing.
The bard class, and the salvaging skills should be the templates for all other classes and skills, in my opinion.

Oh right, thats a great idea. I have already tried my absolute hardest to get new people into DL, I always get the same response. They will make to level 20, 30, or sometimes even 40, and then give up, because its too hard for them.

The difficulty level is not something that spurs on learning, all it does is spur on frustration. It takes a pretty decent set of crafted equipment to level effectively, or a very good understanding of mobile equipment. Neither of which a newbie will have.

Nor will a newbie have scripts that know the optimal way to level. You say you want leveling to be hard for the newbies for them to learn: news flash, there are different kinds of 'hard'. Something can be difficult so it encourages thinking and problem solving, or something can be hard like you just plain don't have the means to do something, so you get frustrated, which is exactly what happened to everybody I tried to refer to DL.

If it takes any sort of crafted equipment to level, the mobiles are too tough. Instead of just making their stats all ridiculously high, and dealing 32797 points of blunt damage every time they elbow you, they could have better programs that stopped simple and repetitive attacks from working on them, therefore showing a newbie that you need to be varied in your attack strategy, and use your class effectively.

Newbies should be the top priority, not me, you, and quintos. Me, you, and quintos, and the rest of the top 5% of the DL playerbase, will ALWAYS have an easy time of leveling. ALWAYS. End of story. Do not try to make it hard for us, as we will always be smart and make it easy.

Think of the newbies.

Dual-Avatar

Aug 29, 2005 · 03:00 #52

Weems bring up a good point. First levelling was easy so I could do it naked with a newbie sword and hit tri-av. You made it harder, so I started to use newbie eq and a newbie sword. Harder again so I used crafted weapons so I could actually critical. Harder yet again so I just pumped out a great set of levelling eq and levelled up fine. Those with resources and the knowledge to apply them will always have it easy. You can either make a game challenging or challenging for the best. Although it may be nice to attract some members of MENSA, let's not try to pretend that the average DL player is in this group.

i agree, think of the newbies. dont try to make it hard for top players because then its TOO hard for the lowbies and newbies. maby on the next patch cele could add in somthing that makes the mobs harder to fight if you have better eq or somthing like that, you know although im sure, if it can be done there will be someone to find a way to minipulate it. i dont really know what im talking about, but i find it hard enough to level as it is. making it harder would just be mean. and im sure it wouldnt help the pbase grow any

it's possible that you misread my post

i consider bards /not hard/ and a nice fair class to play, so i will continue with that statement and say, i do not want the classes impossible to play for newcomers.
And, i know for a fact there is a distinction from someone who wants to play a mud, and spends time learning how to play, versus someone who has been told to play from a buddy, and doesn't really have the interest in learning.
This secondary player will have zero ambition in reading a helpfile, or wanting to do more than 'kill opponent' and wait for the opponent to die.

Those are two different people. The first person learns the game, will probably be annoying with asking questions, but will inevitably progress way more than the person who has been brought in with their friend, and probably ends up getting powerlevelled anyways and missing half the game.

The warrior class will always be the easy class to play, and will invariably always be picked by a new player, there are no songs, or spells, you hack someone up, and move on to the next. So me saying i would like bards as the template for all other classes only goes so far.

ok i get it. and btw i didnt start as a warrior when i started playing. matter of fact, i dont think i had a warrior char till about a year after i started playing. my first char was a ranger (very bad choice- but thats a coment for another place/time)

i think i lvl almost every different class to 20 than moved on because i just didnt get the fill for them. But on one lucky day i was in a group with one of my many chars and a bard told me that celle was having people try out the bard class befor it was added tobe one of the different classes so i went over to celle and asked her if i could be a bard to see how it was, and here i am

,

one more think the only bad thing thats happened to me on D-L was getting in fights and the sever goes down, get back on im a ghost that has no corpse

And look, you make assumptions and sidestep the issue rather than accepting what I say. You are implying that the people I had play DL were just dragged into it and didn't learn it because they weren't motivated to.

Wrong.

What I am saying is the truth. Levelling is not 'challenging' for newbies, its downright impossible without the proper equipment, which is not taught to them inside normal game mechanics.

There are no special skills of your class you need to figure out, its all basic stuff. Making levelling managable is a matter of getting the right crafting equipment, and no true newbie can get a nice set of crafted levelling equipment reasonably.

You can say I'm full of beans all you want, but EVERY experienced Dark-Legacy player will agree with me on this.

Its time to accept that maybe your view on a challenging learning experience is perhaps wrong, and perhaps its time to maybe reconsider. I'm all for a challenge. A challenge is great. But right now its not a challenge...Its just equipment based. Theres only so much you can learn about your class

These are the spells I have, these are the skills I have. These are the commands I have. If such and such a mobile does this, then I can retreat and it won't be able to hit me! Theres only so much to learn about this mundane levelling.

But again, it only takes one elbow for eleventy billion damage to kill you...That is, unless you have crafted equipment with blunt resist.

The key for a challenging learning experience for newbies is forcing them to vary their attack patterns, not just making mobile stats ridiculous so that you are forced to have all this special equipment unless you want to die all the time.

i don't even know where you're getting this from, so hey, if you're posting for the sole reason of trying to contradict me, thats your choice, but players seem to go from level 1 to epic 1 without much difficulty, and nearly everyone goes from level 1 to 30 without craft gear, yet the mobiles stats are ridiculous?
Those who are motivated to learn the special attacks, and special skills, and everything else the game has to offer - /do better/ than any player who is not motivated to learn.
I know this to be an absolute truth.
Those who sit down, and take the time to go through the training academy do way better than those people who skip the beginning. I have the unique position of being able to 'see' this in action, i know it to be true.

I hate to repeat myself again, but the bard class is not hard. Disagree with me if you wish, or say i am sidestepping the issue (i thought the issue was with us talking about whether or not bards are hard to play)

I'm talking about bards, it's another one of those arguements where i am not arguing with you, but you are wording your responses in order to make them sound like you are assuming a contrary position.

To address your message specifically - for you, there are commands that you consider childs-play, they are so basic to /you/ that you don't consider that they are absolutely foreign to a new player. retreat, fallback, aim for limbs, make limbs bleed, use bleeding as a way to kill your opponent, use charging to do more damage, use mounted combat for more damage and speed, using special runes inside prisms and idols, learning about areas of the mud which are better suited to your level and your class. Then theres enchanting, crafting, poisons, moving around, using the worldmap, learning commands most players dont know about. Theres alot to learn, and simply knowing the commands isnt enough, you also need to learn how to use them effectively.
I like that.
I like players learning how to use everything that's at their disposal in an efficient and effective manner.
And i wish the areas / mud made the player want to learn all these abilities available to them.

I doubt if we have an arguement here, i don't see how or why you would want to argue that.

I never said once that levelling a bard was hard in of itself, I said it was hard compared to the other classes, and I got upset when you mentioned that you use them as a baseline for difficulty, as I think its already too hard for newbies.

Especially when I say yes, I have had people try DL and it was too hard for them, then you just immediatly ASSUME it was because they just didnt have the attention span to learn it properly.
