No butthurt, I just think it's funny that everyone whines when someone takes advantage of free PK, but people abusing bugs to kill people is only a big deal if those people abusing bugs are in Celest.
Wait.., are you saying Celest/Halli players were abusing an obvious bug to try and be spiteful?? shocker..
Edit: And that they would likely no receive any form of punishment other than a slap on the wrist and a wag of a finger? Double shocker
Remember that stonewall bug you abused for weeks to kill people?
Lol'd. Someone's been listening to Glevich.
Lolno. More like, the only time I've ever died to Arcanis was when stonewall was bugged and I decided to jump people in Mag. Just pointing out the double standard.
You mean like that other time you jumped me on Cay and I also killed you, long after the stonewall 'bug' was gone? Or perhaps time after that before you started inquiring how to counter me and began spamming blindness venom to try and thwart chasm?

Gee...I guess so
Um, wat? Literally the only kill you have on me is from that time I jumped some ur'Guard in prime Mag. I never jumped you in Cay. I did kill your Earth Lords in front of you while tanking all your burst vessels, but that's a different story. Also, I didn't even have a manual envenom alias on my Shofangi system, that was all automated. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Edit: To clarify, I used blindness venom a lot because it makes people waste herb balance when I was stacking lacerations. It had nothing to do with chasm. Get over yourself

As I recall correctly, thanks to my rather good memory, you approached me on Cay while I was attempting to do the quest (for the sake of finally finishing my epic) and stated to me that "You are being annoying", apparently because Tridemon may have had a meld on cay and I was walking in and out. You then proceeded to attack me, in which I countered and eventually chasmed you, followed by your comment as a soul of "Oi!". I believe Avurekhos also showed up but naturally didnt help as you had declared.
Out of curiosity - didn't I see @Kaiel post about how he's qutting Lusternia forever because of draaaama.
And now he's here creating it?
I fail to see how pointing out hilarious hypocrisy is creating drama.
Besides, it's fun watching Arcanis cry.
Yes..im obviously weeping >>
Edit: As for the comment of the earth fight, you had come with a new strategy of apparently spamming blindness and having a harmony aura up, which it turns out that had a chance to proc and hit me with pacifism upon -each- of my telekinesis channel hits...making me near permanently pacified, something I was looking to bring up to envoys when things settled down.
Still don't really recall, but a check of my deaths revealed that you have apparently killed me more than once. Grats, I guess?
I didn't "spam" blindness btw, I had like 4 forms I used it on. Would you like to see my tables? And yes, Chuuti is a handy harmony skill. If you had bad luck with the procs, sorry, them's the works. It's far from being as good as you're describing, though. That wasn't a new strategy, either, that had been in place from day 1 of my Shofangi system.
And by the way, you had me at like 14+ vessels on numerous occasions, so you clearly weren't getting spammed by pacify too hard. You just failed.
Anyway, this is a pretty silly argument, I was simply pointing out that you're crying about people abusing bugs when you yourself did the same thing.
On one final note, remember that time you jumped me in Shallach and I killed you in your meld, you raged about "lag", PK forgave me, then I walked into your meld and bashed you to death again? Good times, good times.
P.S: Crying about pfarewell almost a full month after aeon was fixed is crying, sorry.

Sorry to disappoint, but TK/TP and similar abilities already have a reduced chance to proc reactive defenses, be they harmony auras, cavalier guard, chem/wood defenses or shrine pacification.

Would you all knock it off? Some of us do come to this thread to check up on other things going on. This may come as a shock, but really, nobody else cares.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

I keep breaking the Hifarae Hills quest when I talk to Sakima and he talks back .
I'm sorry Sakima! I love talking to you!

I'm not saying smother your novices, what I am saying is that if I was a newbie a little more "role-play" other than (OrgCollege) Someone says, "Hey, NewbieName, how is your GuildHere tasks coming?" would definitely help someone feel more welcome in their City/Commune.

Orrrr, and maybe this is a crazy idea, maybe it's a lead-in to more indepth interaction?
It can be, it isn't appearing to be. But how is a novvie who sees us on topmud or something going to know there's all this awesome stuff if no one (save a couple people) actually give two shits about retention.

How is that not welcoming? A person doesn't ask that question if they're not hoping to help out. It gives the newbie an opportunity to say "Actually I could use help with X" or "I'm fine, but what's this I hear about Y?" The collegium experience is something all newbies go through, seems to me a perfect starting place for opening RP avenues.

They're complaining that someone -isn't- doing this.

Yes, I could have worded better. Logging in over multiple days I may like being offered help after the initial leaving the intro tour and whoever saying read CGHELP WELCOME and what not. Though, today I saw some really nice things. I was told by a player who has been here 7+ years (don't quote me on accurate number) I should say if there was a feeling of little involvement over just saying "fuck this org" and leaving.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy making Arcanis cry myself AND I'm all about pointing out hypocrisy, such as pointing out when someone makes a post that they're leaving Lusternia forever because of drama and the troll the forums causing a ruckus.
The matter is being looked into; at the moment it is unclear whether or not it is a bug or how it was intended to be all along. We'll pass the ruling along as soon as We Ourselves are made aware.

People who love attention don't seem to get that many do not. If you let people know you're about and they don't reach out to you, the safer assumption is they do not want you bugging them.

The Norns even said that using the free pk event to prime raid avechna-free was in bad taste.
Apples and oranges.
If I quit, I'll just stop posting or showing up. No point making huge posts, spinning my character away, or anything.
