CHOOSE YOUR SIDES!!!

Hail All,

So, what if choosing our loyalties has nothing to do with what we attack, but rather how we choose to attack? What if the choice is whether or not we use blackrock (known to be hazardous) to cast armageddon (end of the world) just to get a shiny black cloak (which I did)?

Maybe the people who have "made" their choice are the ones who have used blackrock.

Maybe I'm just thinking too much.

Sincerely,

Wolfthistle

I'm doubting this one....We were told by the manufacturer of the game to bring black rock. It wasn't presented as an in-character thing made by a character for his or her own reasons, but as an out-of-character thing made by a dev team member, telling us how to do the event.

I don't think they would purposefully lead our characters into doing evil. Technically, they didn't even do this in Magincia, let alone now. (They never told us "lure the light daemons," they just gave us a game mechanic which caused people to want to do so. In this case they TOLD us, quite specifically, to bring blackrock both nights.)

I still think the "loyalties" choosing referred to leaving when the gate opened, or staying to fight.

Having said that, I do NOT like the only way to get the cloaks (seemingly!) to be using the spell. Galen, for one, isn't gonna be risking that just to get a cloak to sell.

Has anyone noticed that when you kill a fallen warrior, a cloud of black mist rises from the corpse and flies into a nearby player? (perhaps top damager?)

Seems like an ominous sign. They do have the names of angels, either good or fallen (perhaps they're just fallen in combat when you slay them).. but they're definitely aggressive. To characters both carrying blackrock and non.. and to people at the event both days and only now.

Yes, I did notice that. An ominous sign indeed.

That happened to me as well, but I thought I must have been seeing things, or maybe it was a necro trick of some kind... Apparently not.

That worries me.

How about fallen warrior with same name as my character?
must be coincidental?

Had a thought, what if choosing sides was as simple as being there on the first day or not? Also being there and not bringing blackrock? Those of us that were there as instructed with blackrock may have already chosen our side already without knowing it.

Well, my new thought has to do with blackrock. You can either use it against the Shadowlords, or you can give it to them to help them. I think that decides.

Last I knew the magic words weren't working to deal damage to the Shadowlords and I don't have any to try giving, like I would help them anyways though.
Has anyone tried giving them blackrock recently do they accept it?

I only started noticing that after you pointed it out....And yeah it's some creepy stuff!!!

Now that Drac's confirmed that the "angels" are "fallen" and work for the Shadowlords, I'm wondering about one of the other suggestions on this thread: Giving blackrock to the shadowlords, or not.

Though I personally still think that the choice was as simple as on the first day, fight (and thus maybe one of the first on your shard to have one of those cloaks) or leave when the gate opened.

I wonder what that means about folks like me who left to do something IRL and then return though.

Eh. The more and more I think about it the more it seems like I was most likely wrong!!!

It would be cool if the mystery of the black fireball like things could be solved. I was wondering if it's color might have to do something with blackrock snatching, but, luckily, was not the case ;D. Be interesting, though...

I have noticed that apon slaying a Angel there is a black fireball just like the one for Power Scroll (which is blue ) zaps the slayer with no "Visual" effect. I think this is links in some matter of infusing the shadow stuff into your being. The would have the effect of "Building". But to what effect.

I think the fallen warriors will become the race of gargoyles. Each one we slay will be manifested within Sosaria.

The black essence will allow that character to undertake a quest to become a gargoyle. Otherwise, you must start one from scratch.

Yeah .... was my initial impression too ... that "damager" had somethingto do with "where" the black puff went ...

Until I noticed (several times now) that my scavenger (whom does NO damage to any) is getting randomly targeted also ...

"It" even came around a corner to my hidden scavenger ...
hmmm ... And as my scavenger is only "kind" (though he's died enough to be completely "neutral" fame and karma wise)

Not too likely it has anything to do with presence at first or second event, possesion of blackrock at those or latter excursions, and/or fame-karma ratings or actual engagement with the dying ...

Just saying ... statistical empirical evidence ... is currently leaning to

Purely random.

I think the black puff makes your character pregnant, because now the threads tell me I have a child!
