I find it ironic some people said that the shards can't possibly reside within the power nodes and we need to drain them down when I suggested it the first time we gathered a group to fight. And now the gods have replenished all the nodes to max and we got people draining as much as they can, wheee. tongue.gif

It's all in mortal hands, and has been for awhile. All I can say is you're using the brute force method to solve it. While brute force will work, it comes with a high cost. If the deaths bother you, try to come up with a more organized method. I've listened and heard a few good idea's, that would work, but they all got shot down with, "Shut up, your an idiot."

We tried finesse and brute force. So far the only one that has worked is the brute force. The finesse lasted five hours and worked great at getting lots of gold, but didn't seem to budge the node.

There's a surprising amount of support for blindly hurling ourselves at the nodes. Martyrdom-complexes maybe? tongue.gif I laid out a plan nobody's tried and was simply told it's impossible and booted midconversation glare.gif

Why do I have the feeling this is gonna take a loooong time doing it ass backwards? ninja.gif

Because it HAS been tried, Vis. Repeatedly.

Let's combine the Supernals, Avatars and...those Magnagoran thingos, into a Uber Thingo that can go and find all the shards. *nod*

Nah, we should link all the Nexus and blast Viravain then burry Her under Glomdoring. That would show Her.
Erion2005-04-05 05:32:52
Eh, apparantly dark/starcall link/coven work faster. How much faster has yet to be seen.
Unknown2005-04-05 05:42:34
Heh, wouldn't it be frustrating if you knew a quick way to do this from an OOC point of view but your character had no possible way of knowing. I wonder who could stand the test tongue.gif.

Crosslinked since far more people read this than idiots..
Hopefully someone less loathed and more respected than I will prevail and push people towards reassessing the situation.

There's always another way.

Good luck. I hope people bother re-evaulating your idea now that the power transfer rate has increased.
Bricriu2005-04-05 06:39:39
One. It wasn't his idea, we'd done it before then - and it wasn't working. We are trying various things however, but no one really feels like dealing with Visaeris, as his attitude has changed little over his absence from the realms.
Daganev2005-04-05 07:59:08
Did people try linking all 12 nodes at once?
Bricriu2005-04-05 09:47:06
You need to drain it to a certain point - I'm guessing about 5k, total. Maybe more, maybe less. So, linking all the nodes could work, it would still go slow, though.

Incidentally - I'm interested in hearing how many people think Lusternia pulled the "Kethuru" card too fast. Kethuru is the BBEG here. He's about the worst we're ever going to get. A bit much for 9 months or whatever into the game, isn't it?
Manjanaia2005-04-06 16:28:07
I don't think it will be the last we see of him.
Shiri2005-04-06 16:31:09
It'll be a bit dodgy if he comes around a second time, though. The Divine'll have to work a huge lot harder not to make it seem stupid and "done-before." Then again, I guess they shouldn't be underestimated, as we've so far seen. happy.gif
Manjanaia2005-04-06 17:13:22
Right. Viravain has gone so I'm guessing the ball is in our court now.
Shiri2005-04-06 17:15:51
...huh? blink.gif

I think we have to hope that next time he doesn't manage to free some of the other Soulless.
