As some of you may have noticed, Jelaludin has stopped coming around. I'm hoping the game will change some day as I love the world, but the fighting system really is just horrible. I tried all three of Magnagora's classes and here's what they come down to.

Geomancers and mages in general never get a fair fight.

Nihilist's wrack and torture are a joke. You can't kill anyone.

Ur'guard and knights in general need at least 10 minutes to kill any non-novice, which is probably why I've only fought a knight 1on1 outside of the arena once in the entire time I was playing.

I could always join a guild that actually has ways to kill people and get into fair fights (Celestians, and... and...) but I've spent too much time and money to justify a new character and since the only thing I like about Lusternia is the RP, taking Jelaludin there wouldn't fit.

So, for those of you wondering, there are my thoughts. I will probably sign in every few days, then every few weeks, or months like I do with aetolia. Hopefully unlike aetolia the large problems with the PvP systems will be fixed.

There's more to a game that it's combat.

Come be a roaming highway lunatic with Guido.

Just find a Faeling to fight, it will make you feel much better.

But seriously, it is a shame you're not having fun anymore, sorry to see you go.

I like the RP and Guido is the man, but I don't like roleplaying above all else. I need a fun combat system too! So sorry, but no roaming highway lunatic jello

Well, maybe every now and then.

Sucks to see you go, you could always bash until pk becomes fun again

Hey, I'm giving away a free system Jello, guarantee it will make your combat better!

Very funny. I've been the top PKer in every IRE game I've played before besides this, there's no reason to be sassy.

Two Celestian girls go round the outside;
round the outside, round the outside
{*scratches*)
Two Celestian girls go round the outside;

Guess whose back
back again
Jello's back
tell a friend

Guess who's back,
guess who's back,
guess who's back,
guess who's back
guess who's back,
guess who's back,

Da na na na na


I've become a monster,
Ain't no one gonna see Jelaludin no more
They want Jello, the dessert that quivers.
Well if you want Jello, this is what I'll give ya
A little bit of sugar mixed with some congealed water
Some corn syrup that'll rot your teeth quicker
than a kiss when I get kissed at the Megalith
by the Warlord when I'm not co-operating
When I'm humping the Demons while he's instigating
I've waited this long, now stop your hating
Cause I'm back, and me and Luciphage are copulating!
I know you got that job Llexyn and Morslade
but you won't stop me from populating!

So the S-E-G won't let me be
and Black Soil Conclave is blind to see
That Jello is so jigg-a-ly
And there is no dessert without me!

Gaudiguch = desert.

Hallifax = crystally place.

Jelaludin = Hallifaxy-guy.

Good song, though.

.. Or did you mean dessert, and was the whole thing some kind of joke about jelatin/gelatin/however it's spelled?

Desert- lots of sand

Dessert- me. There's two S's because it's sweet! That's how you remember.

Top fighter? I KNOW who you were in Imperian. I say no.

Unless I am mistaken as to who you are, but I believe it begins with an I. Would say the whole name, but I'm not sure if you intended it to be a secret.

If not the top fighter, he was always in the top few Tuek - you can't argue with that. Though if he went back to Imperian now he has actually learnt how to code (yes that was a personal attack - but a friendly one) he will probably be ranked even higher (though to be honest I don't know how the game changed since the wardens etc got put in - its when I quit). And the only reason he wasn't considered the number one scourge of Antioch back then, was because he was actually intelligent and didn't act the way a couple of Mag's did in open beta here running through Celest every hour on the hour.

Even though he was a stinking Magick user, my character and his were still pretty much mates - and it was awesome roleplay.

Did you ever consider that Trill + Ur'guard = crap whereas Viscanti + Ur'guard = potential 2,000 damage a combo?

Narsrim - im Drac Ur'Guard and it still takes me 5-10 minutes on average for a fight against most people with half a clue (excepting Murphy, Ixion, Tuek and yourself because you are all freaks of nature - and Ethelon because his pet is sucky beyond belief). I fought another knight in the arena, and it took 4 bloody timeouts with ever increasing restrictions on what we did before someone made a mistake and I won. And that isn't a once off - the Arena is just a huge drain on my resources which hardly ever does anything for me except take my money and leave me sitting outside the arena after 5 minutes.

.

And I gotta admit, I don't love Lusternia's world enough that I'd play if it weren't for combat/Malicia. But then I never thought any of the IRE worlds really captured me, they're too random.

EDIT: Watch your language. ~Shiri~

Combat in Lusternia is too group-centric and costly as regards experience loss, in my opinion.

Edit: Transcendent posts, babeh. Woo.

Don't talk . That list of people who you can fight for more than 5 minutes isn't exhaustive. You're the guy who screamed at me and Ceres for teaming you, because my angel had wrath activated. That fight didn't last 30 seconds nevermind 5-10 minutes. I expect the same of Tuek, Narsrim, Murphy, Ixion, Ethelon and quite a few others, they're all at the top of their class. Don't get ahead of yourself.

EDIT: Watch your language. ~Shiri~

The XP loss is the same as Achaea, and indeed it is less if you die in your city.

Oh, I am so sorry I forgot to mention your distinguished name in that list who would have ever thought that the first time I faced something it can bugger me over - that would NEVER happen to ANYONE. And I didn't "scream at you" - I used one "say" in the arena calling you :censor:ed teamers when I was completely buggered just before I died. Oh and I didn't apologise for that when I found out I was mistaken - oh wait I did apologise politely and actually meant it, so go grab your ego and shove it somewhere .

Please go through all my posts for me, because I want to know where I claimed that I was the greatest fighter alive. When I post something like I did a few posts up, its because I am posting from my characters experiences in the game. I know I am only a slightly above average fighter (and lets face it, the average here is pretty bad). I am lacking skillwise, which I am trying to remedy and am in a constant state of cleaning up and working out how to better my system. And yes, I also know that my combat experience vs non-knights is fairly limited, though I do try to get more fights under my belt, but the amount of good quality opponents in the game isn't really that extensive until the population fills out a bit. I think they would agree with me about this, but I am even starting to hold my own better against Tuek and Narsrim when they raid Angkrag compared to what I used to be like against them.

Now that you mentioned it though, for all of you who complained how knights are overpowered - I last about three times longer against Murphy than I did against Amaru. And if I had surge that time would be AT LEAST six times as fast instead. Yup Murphy is suuuuure overpowered there.

I was 4th ranked combatant in Imperian. I did manual healing (we are a dying group), and managed to beat almost all who could program a wicked healing system. And Imperian, combat was much harder too. Here its much easier to get outta affliction-locks. Back in Imperian I was speed-demon with artifact sabres and 20 different toxin combinations.

I come to Lusternia and I've hardly touched the combat system. Many different aspects to a game besides fighting.
