[RPG] Clan Xaositects - recruitment, requests, recommendations, etc...

[Heretic Apostate]

Yup. I saved up to 400,000 before I bought my last three diamonds. Getting 20k a day in interest helped a lot.

 

[Heretic Apostate]

Is there any newbies that are still active? I wasted a dwarven plate, a knuckleduster, and a bearskin cloak (all with Giant's Strength), all on people who either aren't checking their PMs, or who used them for a couple times, then stopped playing over a week ago (and, I might add, not even bothering to say "thanks"!!!! ).

So, if I'm going to help out newbies, I'd like to know that they'll at least play. Or has everyone gone to NothingLand to play their arcade games? (My mouse is malfunctioning/unresponsive, so what with my poor hand/eye coordination, it's impossible for me to play well...)

 

[Cheiromancer]

I gave a 1000 gp (or more) to several folks on page 8 of the member list. Not as generous as you- at our level a 1000 gp is pretty easy to come by. I figured these folks would be just starting out, since they were the last ones registered. I got a few thank-yous, but I don't see any of them cranking up levels.

In fact, is anyone playing but you and I? I don't really see anyone advancing besides Inshallah and Phthor.

 

[Heretic Apostate]

I see Ao the Bloody playing a bit. But yeah, that's about the extent of it. Guess the newness has worn off.

Have you visited Nothingland to try out their arcade games? Tons of old classics, but (as I've said) what with my already poor mouse skills and a mouse that seems to be on the verge of breakdown, I don't do well enough to bother.

 

[GreyShadow]

I'm still playing. Most of the newness has worn off for me. Still I plug in a few battles each day.

Do the player vs. player battles work?

 

[Ao the Overkitty]

They work, in a way. You challenge someone, then you're stuck in battle until they notice your challenge and accept. Then you fight.

The one pvp fight I've been in was over in one hit. Then we tried it with summons vs summons. That was a bit more fair.

Wheee. I've got all 8 diamonds.

 

[Cheiromancer]

Hey- does anybody know how much difference magic makes? I have a feeling that I'm more likely to take down that Balrog when I throw a meteor swarm at him rather than a low blow... but I may be misinterpreting things.

 

[Painfully]

right now I'm just gaining interest from my bank. Its not exciting, but it beats spending all my cash on healing potions, or grinding out easy battles so i can level.

The xp award system needs to be adjusted. It feels like i am better off buying all defensive items, and staying in the fight longer by not killing my enemy so that I can hit it more often, and thus gain more potential xp per battle. XP is always about the same regardless of the enemy, and that takes out the difference between fighting an orc, or fighting a balrog.

 

[Heretic Apostate]

You don't want XP per battle. You want gold per hit. Per hit, not per battle. If you get too little, you're going to be woefully underequipped when it comes time to take on the bigger monsters. So find the biggest thing you can beat often, and fight it. But not the skeleton, the kobold, or the necromancer (they only get 1gp each).

****************

Found someone to help: Seonaid (aka Kestrel in RPG). She's working her way toward a Wyvern, and I gave her a 16000 boost (meant it to get her two enchantments, but whatever). So if anyone wants to help her, feel free. It's nice to see somebody playing the game...

 

[Cheiromancer]

Is Kestrel doing the compound-interest thing? I notice she has a fair amount of change in the bank, but doesn't seem to be investing in enchantments.

I would have donated to her (I've given to lots of neutrals) but she's in a different guild than I am. Go Xaositects!
