Yes, I'd say west is sufficiently protected.
  Hps high hurt from being routed from Golden by Rza and the
Wu Tang Clan, and from accidently fleeing into Bree west gate
and tangling with Harry. Running east...

I'd say that's just about fine too. Scary though! (Who da funk are those Wu Tangers?) :-p

An Orc is here at Bridge over the Nen-i-Sыl!
A hardened rang2001-04-30 10:02:25
Run while you can, foul servant of Sauron! yuppie!!
A hardened rang2001-04-30 10:07:45
We are usually busy with tracking this dark scum... But actually we should
have guardposts at all bridges!

I need a donut!
2.A hardened ra2001-04-30 10:47:25
Donuts and coffee from the local Bree Donut shop sure taste good in the morning. They say a cup or two a day keeps the ranger hard!
a snot2001-04-30 11:02:21
If i remember it correctly the hardened rangers were only like 10 or so in the books, or are these different rangers?
Dagil2001-04-30 12:01:27
You ever tried sneaking thru rangers? The chance of success is like 10%
Wu Tang Clan2001-04-30 12:22:59
Wu Tang Clan aint nuthin tha fuck wit!
Nepenthe2001-04-30 13:02:50
Had sneak off to conserve moves since I had a long way to run in sun.
Skojardu2001-04-30 13:06:35
Ologs didnt sundie in the books - Hardened was only 10 - Orcs died in huge numbers - Trolls was feared - Pelfs sucked (damn tree lovers).
Dagil2001-04-30 13:43:38
When there's 6+ rangers in room its fucking impossible to sneak thru. Rangers
are just making the game even more booring, or why not make limits like 2 rangers
on one player is MAX, or make rangers less powerfull, or even remove 90% of them...
who knows ... rangers are fucked up for sure
Nepenthe2001-04-30 13:50:59
Would also be nice if mobs got melee.
a little bird2001-04-30 13:51:16
I thought darkies were tough and dangerous people but now I see they are just crying little babies.
A log2001-04-30 14:15:12
Doesn't matter how tough I am if I get thrown in a fire.
Another log2001-04-30 16:06:33
The previous log was gay. I, on the other hand, is a serious chunk of wood.
Zarhuk2001-04-30 16:51:07
Best thing is to remove 90% of rangers and replace em
by some lowlevel "men""dwarf""elven" patrols who run around
like the ones near noc. Easier to avoid but still posing some
kind of thread.
That's just my opinion of it tough.
Nepenthe2001-04-30 17:08:37
The annoying thing is that hardons are only a slight annoyance for hugegroups... they really don't make much of a difference. For solo players, though, they're devastating. Isn't this balance in west defense shifted the wrong way?
Old Timer2001-04-30 18:00:15

It's part of Manwe's philosophy:

"A solo orc [esp in west] should be a dead orc!"
A real geezer2001-04-30 19:50:49
What do you whippersnappers want, a walk in the park? You think it makes sense that a solo arc should be able to walk into bree and massacre the entire town without respectable opposition? Stop whining and work with what you've got. Also, eat your vegetables. Now, go wash your face and get back to work.
Nepenthe2001-04-30 20:00:34
I think it makes sense that a single orc should be able to slip around and pick off a few travelers on the road without an army of hardons mobilizing after him/her. A group of orcs, on the other hand, are more obvious and WOULD attract the attention of a defense military force. Scouts can hide, but it doesn't do much good. Soon ten rangers show up and spamsearch.
Astar2001-04-30 22:03:49
*yawn*, looks familiar...
Morla2001-05-01 00:51:22
u gotta watch spam into rangers like that
they kinda ista hit
better when u flee to wait a sec until they track into your room
or at least find out which dir u fled and go the opposite way
by spamming into spam room u die FAST :)
Molak2001-05-01 01:40:27
"a real geezer" of course is right. i dont think it should be easy for a solo player to be west. of course that promotes huge grouping that i dont like either hmmm.........
Vorlin2001-05-01 03:26:05
It might be feasible to make ranger numbers dynamic, have the game take note of the total number of darkies in the 'safe' areas and spawn rangers in numbers great enough to get the job done (however you define that). This would take a lot of coding, debugging, and tweaking to get right but in the long run would maybe be worth it. But would also make huge raids almost impossible as far larger and more frequent groups of rangers would probably be coded to spawn in response to them. Be careful of what you ask, you might get it. Rangers themselves are a good example of that.
Wryak2001-05-02 07:10:52
Play darkie, log on ainur check how many pukes are on. 70% + of pukes are w of bwb, in 99% safe areas and some of u ppl defend fornost area pukes :P they're safe enough as they are from solo ppl, even too safe, we see lvl26 ppl who don't know anything e of neni simply because it's 100% safe to play w of neni because of rangers, so why learn anything else?
Jumbo2001-05-02 15:50:57
Silly *experienced wanna be* -quake like mume playing- whining dorks!

Darkie scum was never ever so low and never ever deserved to be named DORK as much as right now. Give us a break you damn morons with your "ouchie momie rangers are biting my arse, I got overkilled, linkless killer, slunt, freeze killer, my cat pissed over my keyboard" yelpings.
Sheeshh...

Spam around closable/pickable doors and lock all rangers in legend houses you moron? But you clueless useless experieced dorks! yes you! your looser mentality and low IQ won't let you even your imagination work no? All u know is whine whine whine.
Vorlin2001-05-02 17:19:15
I find the idea of manipulating ranger groups amusing, to say the least, when it comes to my USA modem link. Unless I'm in a wide-open area where I can spam out of a flee, I have 0% chance of escaping them. They are the ultimate in action hitting, action tracking, and spam searching. I'd take an NSL group encounter over rangers any day (though I admit, the difference for me is like going from 0% chance to 10% chance). :)
