Wildnodes...

Back to Common Grounds.

Sadly I was on Java and couldn't really see the wildnodes event firsthand however...

Is Glomdoring the only org able to compete in such an event?

Was Serenwilde not there? Or do they just don't care?

I know I saw plenty of Celest dieing or killing.

I wasn't there for the whole thing, but the part I was there for was really boring and stupid.

I'm going to write up a whole big "Why Demesnes Are Bad For Gameplay" thread to put up later.

Basically we took over the entire plane... biggrin.gif

Not demesnes so much as instant planewide demesne summon. Demense effects are annoying, but avoidable enough.

Well yes, I noticed that part from the chatter in Glomdoring.. however glomdoring was able to grab a node to gain 10 points, everyone else was at 0... just wondering why.

I had the whole of the Astral Plane melded before the start of Wildnodes. And I mean the -whole- of the Astral plane. That took me a fair bit of work.. and it also meant that by the end of wildnodes, I was completely incapable.. I was so insane I actually couldn't do anything.

It's been suggested before I think.. but I'm going to reiterate it. It would be more balanced, if all demesnes and all terrain types on Astral were wiped as the Wildnodes event starts.

I think the game would be more fun in general if demesnes in general were taken away. happy.gif

Not to mention your enemying of anyone who could combat your demense from Glomdoring before the event started..

We died a *lot* breaking their astral-wide demesne... we actually got most of it, which was really nice to see. I'm proud of all our members who were up there working. However, due to a number of factors... including stonewalls all throughout Capricorn, making getting to them without being demesne summoned one by one somewhat impossible *coughs*, we had some trouble actually finishing the break. Magnagora did pretty well keeping us off their sphere for the most part.

And Glomdoring is the only place without all those nifty rezz skills... Makes my question even more ponderous!

p.s. Stop hijacking demense people!

Everyone conglutes during wildnodes, so that didn't matter in this case.

Well.. I wouldn't have needed to if all demesnes were wiped before.

Surely you didnt seriously expect me not to use every ability within my power in order to maintain our advantage?

Ofcourse not... just makes me wonder why Celest and Serenwilde weren't able to grab a node.

Typing "Astroglide" at that point worked, so what exactly did enemying accomplish? unsure.gif We tend to use astroglide anyways to avoid a run through Faethorn / Capricorn.
Aiakon2006-03-19 22:31:24
There was no one from Serenwilde there... and Celest were down on numbers. *chuckle* There were some hilarious moments of Glomdoring/Celestian cooperation though.. which much amused me.

Well.. sure, once wildnodes started.. Enemying you was totally pointless (Except as a gesture of course). Before it started though.. it stopped ya coming up the Megalith.

Actually looking at the logs the only person enemied was Xavius and probably wouldn't have been had he not made clear his intent against us before it started
Xenthos2006-03-19 22:33:10
It actually starts working at the first flash of the nodes, before they even come into play. (Which in the past, has been 15+ minutes). I logged on too late to see the first flash, but it was working when I did get in, which was before the nodes came into play / conglut activated.

While we are at it...

WILDNODES STATUS really needs to stay up untill the next wildnodes event starts so people who miss it can see the results.
