Warpoints! Damn wish those were visible still.
Patsaan2001-03-21 11:16:31
Good going !
Relim2001-03-21 11:21:29
Ah, the days of Tass and Frode and Relim sitting in the tree, K-I-L-L-I-N-G...
(So many tricks were available to the scout, like getting someone to engage while we began backstab, a la the log here...)
Skojardu2001-03-21 12:07:02
I can show you a log where i kill a lvl 40 hobbit mage in 1 hit - so bring back the old trolls/days.
tasslehoff>skoj2001-03-21 12:20:50
do that too,
we need old times back
Tony2001-03-21 12:52:37
Where is the skill ?
You want scouts to be even less dependant on skill ?
to tony2001-03-21 13:34:56
tony, where's the skill in following 10ms leader, spamming hit and
quickbolt, whats the skill in bashing then calling friends, where's the skill in etcetcetc
Furfoot2001-03-21 14:06:32
God damn... Though, that wasnt the best times, best times were when stab just got back after mume 7, at least I think :p
When stab did 150 damage or so, was fun as hell
Unknown2001-03-21 14:37:10
HAIL to the warpoints!
Moonshade2001-03-21 14:53:09
The only thing I miss is that "Wp: XX" in stat line :(
Aschit2001-03-21 15:12:10
Well, even I have to admit that was wizkill, almost as bad as bash/stab combo was :) Fun log anyway though :)
Nepenthe2001-03-21 16:05:10
Bring back the wps!
Lochdale2001-03-21 16:11:34
If you tried that today, you'd have to sleep moves in between the stabs. I love how when shoot was "overpowered" (cough, cough) it was instantly changed but superpowered Elf mages (MUME's version of Gandolf)can run with wild abandon. Oh but to play the elf mage in a bash trap group takes real skill right?
Alweon2001-03-21 16:24:22
One problem I run into consistently is poisoning warriors. A mage isn't very powerful when he eats an Arachnia + Psylonia + Belladonna in a single round like I have been lately =p By the time you remove them, you are low on everything, so you have to run away like a weenie. Ahh well, I should carry potions I suppose.
Alweon2001-03-21 16:27:31
And since we are reminiscing (sp?) about the past... remember when everyone had sense life and just spammed look while they rested? Even though it was technically harder to eat a stab back then, if you did it would probably cost you your life since the avg stab was 275+ damage, and even with full armour, mages died like pigs =p I think more people died back then to stab than they do now because of the damage changes. And yah, fighting shooting thieves like Madcat was insane when they could wield bow and have a wimpy pb... he literally kicked my ass as any class i used to play =p
Tony2001-03-21 19:24:33
hey to-tony erhmf well to be honest even that is more skill than hide somewhere
or follow people all over arda until the poor sod stops and then type bs *name*
Thwag2001-03-21 21:42:13
Nodz it would be better if you could roam arda unhindered even after meeting a grp of 4 warriors :P a skilled person can just laugh and spam away, just to come back with a def warrior and 3 casters and instakill people :P
Antar2001-03-21 22:30:00
So you're all saying that the skill that's needed now or days is to play without stored port (for mages), and you've got skill if you can run away to live and fight another day? *must be a god on MUME if that's the case*
Ethar2001-03-21 22:53:29
warpoints... oh how i miss them
Unknown2001-03-21 23:11:13
*sniff* wherever did you go warpoints??
Cur2001-03-22 00:42:45
Nobody misses me? *sniff* :(
Olo2001-03-22 03:02:48
I remember the days of killing mages in one stab at ford.
too bad scouts are as impotent as a 90 year old man now.
Nepenthe2001-03-22 08:41:04
Just out of curiosity, what positive difference was the Wp change supposed to make? As far as I can tell, people's playstyles have remained the same... all the change did was cause annoyance. The day I got my very first Wp, I remember it was 2 wps at once, was one of the happiest moments of my mume career. Now you have to go on a killing spree to notice any change, and then go on a massive killing spree to reach another level war activity.
Skojardu2001-03-22 09:04:56
I miss you Cur - you gave nice xp :]
Pomfrit2001-03-22 10:28:21
I can show you an old log where a hobbit survives a bash with 6 smashing on him! (Well actually, I can't, but I remember it!)
Pomfrit2001-03-22 10:28:49
6 ologs that was, damn I'm too old for this shit...
Johannes2001-03-22 10:43:38
I think the wp change is one of the coolest changes for a long time - of course
it shouldn't be buggy, but the principle i like a lot. As for spamming look, I
still catch myself doing it now and then :-p
Skojardu2001-03-22 11:01:52
Well instead of spam look you now spam search - so whats the diffrence except search cost mps.
wenom2001-03-22 11:23:12
i remember our fights tassle and cur =)
Nepenthe2001-03-24 05:29:59
Please mumemail on how the wp change is "one of the coolest changes for a long time."
