....which is lame about Lusternia.


4318h, 2223m, 3482e, 5p xkdb-
The Handmaiden of Shakiniel raises her shield, which shoots a ball of crackling
blue lightning at Nyla.

Bowing her head and crossing her arms, a celestial archangel sends a bolt of
topaz light at Nyla, which sinks deep into his skull and makes him reel
backwards.
4318h, 2223m, 3482e, 5p xkdb-
Ceren has been slain by the might of Elerial, Harbinger of Night.
You see the death occur at amongst the fish-scaled trees.
4318h, 2223m, 3482e, 5p xkdb-
You chant to the Illuminator of Merciful Justice, and his presence manifests as
a column of topaz light. You point at Nyla, and obediently the column of light
moves to envelop him in the light of holy judgment.
4318h, 2283m, 3482e, 5p xkdb-
You hear the sound of tinkling silver bells and see a ball of light bobbing in
the air. As the ball of light floats away, you are compelled to chase after it,
and the forest seems to blur around you.
Before the Master Ravenwood Tree.
The stars twinkle in the clear night sky. An animated skeleton stands here with
a ghostly outline of a bat around its skull. An animated skeleton stands here
with a ghostly outline of a spider around its skull. An animated skeleton
stands here with a ghostly outline of a beetle around its skull. An animated
skeleton stands here with a ghostly outline of a wasp around its skull. The
Master Ravenwood Tree towers over everything here, pulsing with immeasurable
and dark power. There are 2 eye sigils here. A sigil in the shape of a small,
rectangular monolith is on the ground.
Casting darkness all around, a shadow
totem thrusts up from the ground, chilling the air. Thousands of small black
spiders swarm over the marble shrine here, burying it in a venomous mass. There
are 7 enormous black crows here. Brennan Stormcrow paces here, his cadaverous
body twitching with sudden jerks. A white and brown speckled pony grazes
nearby. There are 3 greater swarm of locusts here. There are 5 swarm of locusts
here. Mushrooms are growing here in a perfect circle. There are 38 spice
packets in 38 groups here. Jelaludin, of Black Sorrow is here, shrouded. He
wields a exquisitely crafted draconic broadsword in each hand. Prince of
Shadows, Jasper, Awakened of Night is here, shrouded. He wields an athame
dagger in his left hand.
You see a single exit leading north.

-65% experience.

I get the impression from Lusternia that the original combat designers were excellent, and put in some incredible ideas. Then the later ones who do all the stuff now, like making dying in enemy territory cost 3x as much experience, and can't even get basic coding right so my reflexes don't fire (?his?), aren't up to the job.

Angry cuz you died Amaru? Are you seeking pity?
Xenthos2005-06-05 23:23:30
So... you attacked Glomdoring... you got wisped... you died...

I don't get the problem here.

Awww poor Amaru died to guards. Maybe if you weren't stupid enough to be wispable it never would have happened.

You can wisp a person while on a mono, Amaru. That was a rough hit. Next time drop a mono right after using empress. sad.gif

And I happen to disapprove of you summoning non-combatants away from the gambling table, causing them to lose the money they were gambling (well, not that they wouldn't have lost it anyways).

I still don't get how you think I am similar to Umbrawn. blink.gif

On a lighter note...

(Eye of Night): You say, "Paying 5k to find out just how bad I pwned Amaru."

Yeah I know it was thanks to guards and the rest, but it was funny tongue.gif

Normally I don't like wisp, but if you're raiding an enemy city/commune you're asking for it.

Yeah love, but... not knowing the skills, I assumed that since a mono on one end stopped it, a mono on the other end would stop it. What the hell..?
