Keep it partially civil.

First off , i was asked to stop the dragon bombs a looooong time ago and everyone seemed to get along. It was driving people away so feel free to calm down. Kain was still doing it when i stopped and i simply refused to keep doing it. Don't worry , i started building my army today. You wanna beg me to do anything else?

There is certainly about 10,000% more griefing and ganking here than there was on OSI, but what you going to do about it? This game is great and this is the best shard to play on it. Don't piss and moan about the situation, do something about it and CHANGE THE WORLD... you know, the reason why this game is so great. I will gladly take my knocks now, knowing that someday they won't be bringing the fight to me, I will be bringing the fight to them. Take heart, brothers and sisters, there are good men and women out there who will stand up for the innocent.

25 of each reg?

jesus GK thats your problem. Bina whyle farming weighs like 310 lbs in equipment, killing her is probably worth 60k.

If bina dies its a HUGE setback loss / ragelog ect.. but I can count how many times that has happend on 1 hand, and 2 or 3 times it was to MYM catching me offguard during non-farming.

Pickup loot on a hider dexer and use the dexer to chase away the pk's whyle GK is hidden next do the dragons. Third account is a mage in a safespot (town or your castle) opening portals. you can macro open a portal to gazers with 1 button press. Alt-tab, macro, alt tab again and theres a portal waiting for you.

Dragon bomb.. just do it, kain had more patience then us but 4-6 dragons is great.

He is just making up numbers with the 25 of each reg crap....Prob the last time a cr3w killed me when i was dragon taming. I don't pack heavy for such a vulnerable area.

Dragon bomb :

Pronunciation : \ˈdra-gən\ \buh-om\

Funtion : noun

To gather up 4+ dragons (In the case of Kain the Master, 60+) and "hope for the best" with auto-target red.

Kain was known for bringing well over 50 dragons to the entrence of Destard, and continously tame more and more and more dragons.

Reds entering the entrence from outside would die instantly, I thought it was clever, and simply made friends with him. Keeping me safe.

Me and Kain would pile dragons together and run around from dungeon to dungeon. It got completely empty for a while and people made such a big deal about it that it got us nerfed hard within a few weeks.

Yes that is very true. we should ask batlin to test "auto target red" in the demo and see if we are over-nerfed.

Tamers should be the most lethal mofo's to use if you play it right. If i were you i wouldn't listen to what anyone says, and play the template to its full potential..

I have to say I agree, I enjoy all facets of the game including playing my friends tamer and making some cash. Lately I am unable to farm gazers/lls/bloods without the entire shards pvpers logging onto their reds and coming in to gank me. There used to be a time where anti pks acually did something.

From being one of these pks I can tell you when theres a 5-7 anti pk group on looking for you cause someone in irc said you were on your stat, it gets very dangerous. This usually results in us logging off and waiting till it calms down. With the recent guild mergers, guilds like TB who used to anti pk are gone. Right now its free reign for PKs as there is noone to stop them. Someone needs to step up and make an anti pk guild, learn how pks function and set up ghosts/scouts and traps for them. Maybe make an irc channel for farmers reporting pks. It wont stop pking, but it will greatly reduce the amount of one, two, and three man pk groups during peek hours.

What also might help is changing the wyrm speed back. Before I would just use wyrms and pks wouldnt touch me if they were stat loss, because those things are extremely deadly.

The real problem is multiple accounts. Everyone and their mother wants to be a huge statloss pk, so they make 5 just incase.

I 100% support dragon bombs. Cheap or not, PKing on this shard has been completely exploited and there are really no consequences.

Setting up ghosts should not be encouraged. Having multiple accounts brings certain advantages which aren't particularly gamebreaking, notably the ability to macro multiple characters. Using your second or third account to sit a ghost at a hot spot is 100% in violation of the spirit of the game. I enjoy this shard very much, but there is a lot of behavior here that directly conflicts with the spirit of the game...

A ghost is a terrable waste of a charecter

Use a stealther instead who can open portals .. duh.

Read up a few posts about the best way to farm with 3 accounts. Tamer - Dexer hider - Safespot Mage
