There is no opposite of AMP... there is no 'absolute physical damage protection', therefore AMP is disabled during the fights. PFM gives a good protection against magical damage. True, arena brings 30% bonus damage, yet the same 30% bonus is applied to warrior weapons, therefore there is no single advantage considering damage bonus for mages, therefore your argument is invalid. There are many ways warriors & mages can fight against other mages, you got BBH's to strip their armors and axes to strip their shields down. All you need to good SKILLS to win the battle. ESW rocks, that's true, that's also why we've introduced the Earth Protection and Elemental Necklaces, every other element has a pro & ele neck available, and so does the earth have too since v5.37. If you don't have such necklace yet, you didn't hunt enough to find one, or didn't consider hunting for it as you're confident you didn't need it.

Registrations have officially CLOSED. Currently listed teams (8 total) will receive their schedule to fight in one of the next days. It will be posted on this topic (bottom of the first post) along with a graphical display of the tournament !

Considering some remarks of experienced players in nemesis, summon potions have been forbidden in the event.

for real who gonna bring to a pvp event a tammer. bet that no1 want to wast 100% skill in that shit lol There is 1 player with 100% taming in nemesis... He pwns your *censored* with his demons and unicorns.

@moha: you can use summon pots as you wish, same way as your enemy team could possibly use tamers to oppose your summons. @gorefest: the website calendar indeed shows an 'event' on the 31st of march, it is there to indicate the end of the registration period. If you'd read the event details you'd see that it links to this topic which explains all. 31st the registrations close. After that date (probably april 1st or 2nd) I schedule all fights and each team has aprox 24 hours to request a re-scheduling of their fight. Probably first fights will occur around april 3/4 and probably after april 9th (cuz of easter weekend).

@JJAng2: please specify your online time, without it I cannot schedule fights for your team. @Moha: If the 2 chars are on the same team it is no problem if you switch chars for different fights. Switching WHILE fighting is tricky (20 seconds re-connect time only !). If 2 or 3 people in the same house have the same IP address, they can be in the same team, it is impossible for 1 physical person to play 2 or 3 chars at the same time. If the people are in different teams, it MUST be notified who else has the SAME ip address as them, because in such case I schedule those team's fights at the EXACT same time to ensure there are 2 physical persons playing, and not just 1 who uses 2 chars. @all other people: HURRY UP - REGISTRATIONS WILL CLOSE TODAY !!!!!

we got that, they're called "Experience Potion" we have lvl 1 to lvl 10, where lvl 10 is 1 million exp, just get 3 of them and you got a majestic. Such potions are dropped from Dragons.

@MJ: as I said earlier, we'll see if such situation pops up. Also you must choose 1 char, you can use just 1 char in a single team. Using another char (alt char or something) for the same team is not allowed as it would give you multiple chances to win. @Juno: Most of your text is correct, except the part of the odd teams, when an odd amount of teams exists, i will make a triple fight. let's say there are 7 teams, A vs B, C vs D and got E, F & G left-overs... them 3 would fight a triplet battle, meaning that team E vs F, E vs G, if E wins twice they progress, if E only won once, F & G will fight against eachother, if F won the first time and wins again against G, they progress. If team G has won first time and wins against team F also, they progress. In any other case the tripple match is re-taken starting again with E vs F and E vs G... etc untill 1 team has 2 victories. @toneeh: won't happen, as many teams will be scheduled to fight at the same time, so item sharing is useless here. Along with the very strict and high validation of IP addresses, char names, character relations we'll also check on item passing in the log files.

@braindead: eventually this is a possible outcome of the event, we'll see... first we need to have teams registered anyway. In an economy the rich always get richer and the poor always poorer no matter what. The reason the poor get poorer is because the poor don't do a *censored* to become rich. Other way around, the rich keep getting richer because they're working to be rich and become richer. The difference between the 2 keeps growing unless the rich stop working to become richer and the poor start working to become richer. If a poor guy spends enough time playing Nemesis, he could become rich, it's just how much effort they're willing to put. Keeping such mind set that rich getting richer and poor getting poorer makes it indeed true, as from that statement i guess you're in the poor part, so my tip of the day is to start working to become rich, otherwise you indeed gonna keep getting poorer. @Juno: That's exactly why I ask the teams to add online time, to give each team the CHANCE to fight another team, I will match their timezones together so it becomes possible to fight eachother at a decent timestamp. Bench member can't win a prize, they're there to be on the bench and fight when needed. Though it is NOT allowed to be on the bench AND a member of another team, that would make you be able to participate in multiple teams, which is NOT allowed. True, if multiple guild teams pass rounds, they'll eventually end up against eachother. a Possible solution to multiple teams getting near top 3 would to 'merge' the 2 teams into 1 new team to fight for the top 3, which automatically takes away the issue of 1 guild winning multiple prices (this is just a POSSIBILITY, we'll see what the best solution is when we face such situation). I'm looking forward to it too... 4 days announced and no COMPLETED registrations yet do make me worry though...

That's their power for being a BIG stable guild. Bigger guild = faster expansion. Yet there are NO registered guilds, even the biggest guilds didn't register yet, neither did any smaller ones. If I see 15 teams of the same guild i'll take actions anyway, a difference of 2 or 3 teams doesn't make a difference in the total at all, but 15 vs 3 would make a difference.

You can have MULTIPLE teams for a single guild. @Juno: It's true, the max team members of 5 makes it so 1 guild cannot dominate the other in numbers during the event. Yet your other statement I disagree, multiple teams of the same guild doesn't mean that each team is worthy eachother. In each guild there are the top players who most likely are a higher guild rank who can make a powerfull team of 5. Where as the 2nd, 3rd & ... team probably can't match the first team's power as the top will most likely be stuffed up with items and the other teams will be more average. And to give them just the equal chance as others, they shouldn't face their own guild m8's as opposite team in the event. Most big guilds in nemesis are well known and dominant because of their rares, skills & numbers, especially numbers make ALOT difference. As I said before, 5 players in a team take away the numbers advantage, leaving just rares & skills as the only thing left in the team. In the end it'll be all about skills, yes a good team without rares can still down a rare team without skills ;)

Bench members idea added to the event. You can have up to 2 bench members to replace team members. @moha: you didn't register a team, you can't set a team's time. armin registered the argenlandia team, he must set the team time. If you're in the team of armin, then tell him that I said this and also tell him to dicuss with the team for more availablability. 1 day a week for 2 hours is insufficient of make this event finish before spring ends.

PFM is allowed, aswell as DS is allowed. PFM isn't an absolute protection (like AMP), leaving PFM enabled required SKILL of the team to TIME the enemy. it also leaves the opportunity for guilds to add a Cancel mage to their team. Please add the online time/period for your team, between when and which times and at which days of the week? (e.g. mon-fri: 7 AM -> 3 PM, sat-sun 10 AM -> 11 PM) - Please use SERVER time !

GoDie has one... unsure about a/the 2nd one, idk if Farjat sold any HF manuals or not xD or if a lucky bastard found a 2nd one :o

Read the in-game item description and calculate max rep you need lol :P I think it is around 1000 or something to get full bonus (might be 500 too, i'm unsure, just check description). Excalibur is nice too, yet I think k-esterk is stronger due to its longer range and special bonus from rep it gets.

Mana Slates are powerfull, that's why they are in helbreath. Slates aid the citizens to slay the Abaddon and all its creatures along the way. So yeah, Hell-Fire + Mana Slate will own Abaddon fairly fast as HF is a powerfull spell to kill enemies. So making a quick 'n good abby hunt with a (small) guild having HF available makes mana slates valueable, and its sources too (the ancient pieces). If you continue hunting abby like this, using HF + slates, you'll probably going to purchase as much ancient pieces from everyone in the game to keep up with the weekly hunting of abaddon ;) Anyway, enjoy the k-esterks but watch out for that rep- from the enemy ;) P.S. If you do have a ton of mana slates, take your HF mages to hunt down Black Dragons... Their drops are highly valueable, perhaps a Lucidity Angel, FoT or other nice item drops from the Black Dragon ;) It respawns fast, with a single tablet you can hunt up to aprox... 7 Black Dragons on average I think (taking 4 minutes to kill & wait corpse of the dragon)

Ty for fix it but what is the problem?, why always down only ARESDEN?, I think the real solution is find the main problem.... We're working on a new version to be released, which hopefully solves the issue. It is yet unknown why aresden keeps going offline. It might be someone using or doing something specific which each time triggers a bug. Past weeks I havn't been able continue development and testing due to a very busy personal schedule after work. If you're REALLY that much attached to nemesis, ensure a donation of 2000 EUR each month and i'll give up my current job to work for nemesis permanently. As long as this doesn't happen, you'll have to learn to have patience and accept that our time is valueable and isn't always available to be spent on nemesis or its development. I know perfectly u make it for free, i really apreciate this, and I just was asking what is the main problem and why affects only ARESDEN, but i dont know what is the point of the 2000 EUR...per month, I think you are kinda angry. I REALLY apreciate u your job, its just so sad log in and get DC; and when i can log in just less than 10 players are online in aresden; 7 of them are afk....yesss aresden is dead 95% Impossible train in any pit because alot of elvines attack 15 vs 1.... using weaponds that bought from your web site like xilema blade (700 usd) abbandon ring (1,000 usd) ice elemental necklace (500 usd) etc...that give a normal player no oportunity... get new players to reforce aresden is impossible... and we are OFFLINE also Thank you I ain't angry at all, I'm trying to make clear that currently I can only spend 1 or 2 hours after my job to continue development of nemesis. I do my daily job to have an income and live my life, pay bills, pay taxes, pay my car, pay my house etc etc... If you want faster development for nemesis, I'd have to give up my job. Giving it up means losing 2000 EUR a month, in such case nemesis would have to cover it up if I'd be developing for nemesis instead of working at my job, so nemesis would become my job. And currently nemesis can't pay me 2000 EUR a month, so I ain't giving up my job because I need the money. Hopefully this makes more sense to you. It's only a coincidence that aresden map gets offline. We had cases before where the entire server would crash, which of much worse obviously. I understand your frustration, but for a game that's completely FREE I think the support for it from our staff is WAY beyond some professional company's support (e.g. Mu Online, Soul of the Ultimate Nation, Arch Lord, Content of the Ninth, ...) Their support is horrible, you don't even ever ever see a GM in game who responds to questions asked in global or private. Sending a support ticket to them they don't even reply at all, or reply with a standard text which doesn't make sense and doesn't solve your problem. It's also true that the sold items doesn't make aresden strong(er), I made an event last weekend where MJ and I played GeeMe chars, those chars got EVERY item you can imagine. When I played alone on the char, it couldn't beat elvines (about 10) who were camping shop in aresden town. Even with 2 we were too weak to make any effect in a mass raid at Elv RML side against 20 ~25 elvines, we didn't stand a chance. Even adding infinite HP (2 billion HP) as a test of what it would be like, I still got raped in the *censored* by elvines and still died after a couple minutes of them smashing my head. It's not items that make a town strong, it's numbers that makes them win.

Nice done guys. And gratz on the K-Esterk too :o If you hunt long enough the Abaddon down, it'll give you nice items eventually. ;)

fixed

Can somone confirm/deny me next statements: - You see damage below 40 above your head when being hit - You see ALL damage above your head when damage is 40 or higher (to validate: your HP has decreased by X is always showing up when getting damage, so check if you get HP message without seeing damage and HP decreased is 40 or more) Please add SS to your reply to show me ! - upload @ www.imageshack.us

I also like the idea of transfering (channeling?) damage to your MP bar instead of your HP bar. I've seen a Mana shield-like spell (called Magic Shield) in ather games before and noticed ALOT of care must be taken in considering such spell. Too much absorption by the mana or too long duration or too less delay inbetween a re-cast can make a mage OP instantly. I also like the idea of an AoE healing spell (Circle of Healing?), but rather of having it instant-heal, have it heal over time, like adding HP stock (as occurs when eating food). I always like to stretch ideas and go to the extremes, while writing my reply I already though of a couple other possibilities. Instead of having a mana shield spell, it could be a stat on armors, where it would stack (like ma/df/mr/etc stacks). You'd build up a set (up to 80% max as with MA), equip the set (let's say set 60% set as example), whenever you receive damage, you'd lose MP and HP, if being hit for 100 damage, you'd lose 60 mp and only 40 hp as a result of the set effect. This stat obviously leans close to MA & PA absorption where damage would be completely absorbed into your armors, yet combining both can result into a powerful set, you could possibly combine higher pieces into having both ma/pa set + magic/mana shield sets. To give an example, let's say you have 80% MA set and 80% MS (mana shield) set, you get hit for 250 damage, absorb 80% of 250, do you'd be dealt 50 damage, 80% of this damage is deducted from your mana, you'd lose 40 MP, and the last 20% is deducted from your HP resulting in -10HP only when combining the sets together.

That one's called "Sleep", can't change armors while slept.

Fixed it. Aresden map was offline. it's online again now.
