so, all your saying is I should just run away so I'd never die? I don't need pots for that.... (lol) 30% sdi vs 15% sdi = ?
I'm glad you brought up this point of particularly liking to play that template. I despise playing a parry mage. For those that have fought me for years, I used to play a halberd mage then transitioned to a bokuto mage after changes to UO. I am a tank mage at heart. However, I know when and where to play that template now. It's unfortunate but it's the way it is. I don't go into forums and preach to @Bleak to change pvp to adapt to my play style, I just roll with the changes and give my suggestions as we go. It seems to me that your problem is adapting and (Not trash talking here) just pure laziness in equipping your characters for pvp. I use pots on every template regardless of alchy bc well it's smart. Not nova's but g heals, tr's, cures, agilities, str as well as apples. It is a MUST in todays pvp. You either adapt or get left behind.
You did run several times in this particular fight. You tried to go spell for spell with me and you can tell by my hp that I kept you on the defensive the entire time. Spell play vs Spell play, there are a couple of mages that can match me spell for spell. I've practiced over the years on timing and perfecting my play style. If you want to win, this is what you do. You do not whine to the DEV's to make changes to benefit you.
It's not about me adapting to a play style, in-case you haven't noticed I never wanted Parry-mages or Alchy-mages, or Archers to be "removed". I want it to be balanced so everything has as close as a competitive chance vs whatever is being played.
You have one 2v2 win on me with a non parry character, which I have no problem killing you on my LP tank mage with you on gurads in the arena if you'd like to attempt that. We both know that you won't accept that fight bc well we know why. And I'm not attempting to derail this thread, I'm simply telling you that along with MANY other players, BEFORE changes are made the people complaining should take time to learn the template and advance their game play. Can the archers use some nerfs, sure. Can the nova's use a change, most def. Can we remove tactics and actually diversify some templates, absolutely. But some of the crazy changes that have been mentioned are clearly from players that do not pvp to UO's full capability. Ford Focus drivers shouldn't coach the Ferrari driver on advanced driving techniques, as an example.
same way sibble beat you in a duel on LS? except neither of you were chugging, and neither of you were 30% SDI, right? who cares who killed who? what does it prove?
The only way people will fight me in particular is doing silly stuff like that. A duel does not consist of omen lethal poison but I allowed it and lost to Enhanced client casting, anyone that knows what I'm talking about there will understand. I got lethal poisoned with 0 mana. No biggie. I actually fight people and in order to get these fights, I most often fight at a disadvantage. This is what happens when you reach the status that I have. You can admit it or not, but you nor anyone you play with will step foot in the arena vs me with a real duel or field fight. It's cherry picking, but I cannot win every lopsided fight, it's impossible in todays UO. I'm okay with that. I adapt and move forward. No one should take a non potion fight vs a dp necro, period. It should never been like that simply due to simple game mechanics, but like I said, in order to actually get fights, I have to put myself at a disadvantage.
That's funny, because all the templates I want to be more competitive (or even possible) ARE at a disadvantage- shocker right?
Last time I checked, I didn't start the thread... Bleak is asking for feedback, so you pin the whole thing on me, and whoever else is sick of the way UO is turning out? ....Please.
Diversity my friend..120 Mage -15 Mage wep 60 wep 60 Tact 100 Nox...think McFly! It's about diversity in templates not cookie cutter dexxer temps. At least that's what I'm gathering...
I fought him once as well, and he most certainly doesn't have the poisoning skill. You know how Evil Omen works, correct?
Yea, that's why I was exposing it... it doesn't help diversity with this setup as much as it could, because only Mage-templates would benefit from it more than any dexer templates would Dexers have no way to run with 60.0 weapon skill and be effective without an absolutely ridiculous amount of skill increase items just to make "specials" usable..
This is why you suck and I own you! Bam! *waves e-peen*
EC does have the ability to cast a spell the exact moment its ready. 1 Button per classic clients 2 buttons per spell.
Can you not make a classic client macro to wait for target and then cast on a preset target - be it with the default client or one of the many 3rd party clients there are out there? Most mages hold their spells and cast them when they chose to; I do not. That is the difference between the fight with me and Aeyko. He chose to make two button presses per spell cast, that is his play-style.
You're joking right? I'll gladly do that same fight or any fight really, pure or field 10 fights, I win 9 if not 10 of them. Fluke wins happen in field fights, so I'll give him one win out of 10 (Maybe). I won't give you the same courtesy, I'll destroy you in under 30 seconds in a duel or field fight every single time. I've offered this same fight to players FAR better than the two of you and they did not accept. It's not a coincidence. I'm hated, but I do that intentionally. You'll hate what you cannot beat straight up. With that being said your play ability is very basic and weak. People on multiple shards can be seen laughing at you on a daily basis. While I can only get a lopsided fight from anyone because it's me and people like you are scared to lose so you cannot troll. Stop making up things that you have ZERO intention of backing up. This is why I encourage the DEV's to not take you bottom barrel players silly lopsided opinions into consideration. You're all cry babies and empty gen chat or forum hero's, when it comes to the actual game, you are zero's. Zero impact players. Simple.
I didn't bring it up, but since you'd like to talk about it. You ONLY wanted to fight with EC enhanced casting with dp and no pots. NO other player would accept this fight. That's like me fighting anyone with my dp tank mage and saying no pots... I'd kill every single mage in this game once the first lp hit. You wanted this fight bc of the advantage and only then did I die bc I had 0 mana. I've let it go, your teammates seem to want to bring a lopsided fight up to prove something. If you'd like to prove something, then bring any template you would like into the arena with me. I won't use parry and let's see how it goes? Shall we? If not, if you'd like to use no pots, then we'll simply pure mage. You have EC's one button casting to help you, I promise you that it won't help you. Don't talk yourself into a corner here and hide like Covenant or DC. You're better than that.
Then that's pretty sad if I was able to beat him in a fair duel on a template that I never play, right?
This is all that needs to be said here. @sibble your personal opinion on me as a person has NOTHING to do with why you want to part of a straight up fair fight. You want a dp necro fight with ec and no pots AND PRAY that my mana is vamp'd to 0 before you can get a kill on me and hold on to it for a full year. This is EXACTLY what weaker players do. I fight everyone and I fight them multiple times. I do not choose their templates I simply tell them if it's no pots, then pure mage if it's field templates then field play is required. I was unaware of the one button casting and honestly that didn't help you a great deal until I had 0 mana for 15 to 20 seconds... Anyone that will not fight a person more than once per year is scared and knows that an advantage kill was in fact that, an advantage kill not worthy of even bragging rights. I find it funny that you're disputing this. If you recall, when I had mana you were redlined and poisoned and cast 10 weakens in a row until your poison resistance cured you. You even admitted to this. Had I ever pulled a move like that in any sort of a duel, I'd be laughed off of any pvp list ever. Point and case, if I had lethal poison, you'd have died to poison ticks and lp would not have cured itself. I've given you the chance to bring your op dexer vs a non parry mage in the arena, you want no part of that also. You're not bowing out because arguing is beneath you, you're bowing down because you know on any top pvpers list, you are beneath me. I'll gladly prove that. You will nancy foot around fighting me while spouting off about a fluke dp no pots fight... Cool story though. Lets hope the changes do go into place causing you to quit Uo, you're not really playing it now anyhow. You're hiding. You are only lying to yourself if you do not believe this.
Wtf are you even rambling on about. I have and will always be in the conversation on best players in this game. I quit for 6 years, came back to this "Broken pvp" and still dominated the best players and people like you aren't even in contention. You've ducked me since LUB! and ViP! came to GL and took over many many years ago. You run away at the first sight of me, always have unless you have 4 people vs me. That's the real truth. Notice not once person here that's called me "egotistical" has manned up to the challenge I have tossed out... Wonder why that is? It's not bc you think pvp is broken, it's because each one of you gen chat pvpers know your place against me 1v1. I'll prove everything I say while you sit back and argue in gen chat and on forums. I surely hope no DEV's or forum moderators take your idea of "broken" pvp to be a reality. The only thing that is broken is your weak game play. Put that on your grocery list.
Understand game mechanics like you do? Someone who thought wraith form drained your mana when the person IN WRAITH FORM wasn't actually doing anything? You do know how it works, right?
How can you expect these pvp changes to succeed when you're being just as bad as anyone else?
I agree! but we don't really have to worry with this particular update, not many people seem to like it.
This is so funny you are trying so hard to be a troll to derail threads and lie about fights. And yes i would fight u guys 2 on 1 and win thank you.
I agree with the update that was right before this one having been the best. I think we are talking about the same one.
Again, point out where, unless I was responding to specific people (the so-called "top pvp'ers" and Lord Trollo), I have attempted to do ANY derailing or trolling in any of the threads dealing with the proposed changes. Go through all of my posts if you want.
Not sure how much work they do on the weekends, but there might be an update tomorrow. Hopefully it's a better one...
Yea, that's the update I was referring too the 12/13/2016 one. It wasn't perfect, but it was very much the best one they had given us so far.
Why does this not surprise me that I make a point to put rest to claims of cheating in a pvp forum with proof that the people SCREAMING for changes have no idea how to run their own OS much less understand these changes to Ultima online and now all of the posts are deleted. I've made it a point to try and save pvp from the people that clearly do not understand these changes are not for the better of anyone and will only create further gimplates and destruction of the game. In doing so, I've been called a cheater, egotistical and even reported to MOD's which I'm having to appeal because of nonsense. This is supposed to be an official forum for game developers not a forum where people can use their own personal agenda's to get the game tweaked in their favor. Honestly @Giggles I expect more from you being that you are one of the more competent pvpers on your shard. It's a shame you'd allow personal feelings get in the way of bettering the game. Instead, it's being killed by those who do not understand the game mechanics, for God's sake they don't even understand the features of their OS... Give me a break here. You cannot be serious.
Honestly Aeyko I can understand and appreciate your frustration. But do you honestly think that any sort of defense will remedy cheat accusations? They come with the territory of being a pvper. I myself went on a crusade several times to "prove" that I do not use cheats, all the way down to recording my gameplay with my taskbar... but I am apparently still a cheater because I use the Enhanced Client....
Remove tactics for weapon specials.
For all the you suck, this patch sucks that poor @Bleak is getting. He's on test fielding questions and actually showing he wants this to work!
great job bleak. You won't make everyone happy but at least you're trying!
Because she was right. Rule #1: A woman is always right. Even when she's wrong...and if she is wrong, she's not wrong
