elvine had that many people online that actually stepped outside of a building? colour me shocked

you don't learn by being in reel wolf either literal proof that idiocy is contagious

Long story short, I've been here an awfully long time. I started in late 2005. I could probably count on one hand the number of people that have played here longer than I have (that are still here, at least). Fortunately, I still have a lot of screenshots intact, so I thought I'd post a pile of them, and make some comments, like how things have changed since then or whatever. Also, keep the shitty comments out of my topic PLEASE. That said, here's some nemesis 1 stuff. An attempt at killing abby in the church. Didn't go that well :P One of those moments. Two things: First and most obvious, the map graphics. Second, 180 war with a wizard ms20. Back then, the only way you could get a DK wand was if your INT was higher than your STR, as far as I know. So those warriors that actually had a DK wand sure grinded for it. This might not mean anything to most, but it's funny to me just cause of the people involved in the screen. This was a joint apoc hunt between both towns, I think Donnie/Frost[GM] was leading the charge for most of it, with Hunter there as well. And what happened? It died, but every single person there crashed the moment it did. Soooo, we had this to make up for it. WELP You try to hunt, and then this happens. I wish I had better screens of this, but summon events with Hunter were madness/fantastic. I'll never forget when he summoned a mass amount of clairvoyant beholders.

GAD did i see cake online? i was out christmas shopping :<

Is there something required to happen to open the quests in the workshop? I started the quest chain outside CH, went through all the IB quests, and neither npc in the workshop has any quest available.

which one is yours? i feel like once i know who, i'm gonna think doh i should have known that. edit: wait, i'm thinking... vivienne, but i'm fairly sure that was a nemesis 2 name. jaja that's you, cakes, and i in elv d1 in the last ss

XD i know, funny to see how far we've come. i mean personally, i was a terrible, terrible warrior. maybe not that bad, but nowhere near good. although, i was better then than i'd be now maybe. if i play warrior now i have a wand out 80% of the time anyway. you have NO idea lol i do remember those names! along with some of the older argenlandia players like Warmen, snake, raciel, Shion, etc. I know raciel and elguason and some others were around in nemesis 2, but still. It's harder to remember those names cause you can't look up EK screens as easily. We had to take screens ourselves when someone died. Anyway, early nemesis 2 screens coming in a bit!

(continued from previous post, said i reached image limit)

For those keeping score, there is ONE elv in this screen. I got a kloness esterk from soloing a unicorn. I think it was the only kloness weapon drop in nemesis 1, the others had come from events. Also, anyone who played nemesis 1 and remembers this guy knows he was a scam artist. NIMDA <3 A truly massive raiding group. Yes, this is an X blade and an abby ring. How did they get there? Well, my guildmate Kefka had killed GUESSWHO as a criminal and he dropped those. Lucky day, huh? Who says mages can't tank TWs? The mere sight of this guild should make SOMEONE that remembers them laugh. Test mode madness. (my crim count went up to 300, but this is the last SS of it I could find) Also, in the last one, this guy got mad cause I killed him and tried to threaten me with bans.

I guess it's time I weighed in on this. I don't know what's happened with sasfour, I'm hoping they do come back, but regardless, someone needs to move. Personally, I don't care who it is, but smaller is better for reasons that have already been stated by amon and ulez. Those reasons being that for one, a few good men can change the way a fight progresses. This will encourage other players to come out and fight as opposed to staying in town/hunt maps because they know they're going to be ganged up on. Secondly, why would you move a big guild? You're risking creating the same situation but in reverse. That would mean having to perform another switch, which I'm sure the staff doesn't want to make as is. By making a smaller switch you can effectively gauge the impact that is made and see how much of a difference it makes in that time zone. It's also less of a hassle for the staff.

the whole thing becomes infinitely more hilarious if you think of it as one big elaborate ruse

Okay, so during a crusade, the commanders get to see the locations of mana stones AND the locations of friendly/enemy bases. What I've been noticing is that when new structures are built, they do appear on the crusade window. However, when structures are destroyed, they don't simply disappear on the main window, leading one to think a structure is still standing. Or at least this is what I think is happening. As you can see, there appears to be some ares structure in the ares ogre pit (not sure why, but this is irrelevant), and when I get there, there is nothing. There's also some elv structures at the bottom stone, in the ares ww pit, but again, when I get there, there's nothing.

isn't it funny that the person making this topic is a puller himself?

Not working here either. Just says MSG: Contacting server on the vent window.

Okay, so I used the pretend corpse manual and it shows up fine in my skill list, reads 20%, but when I try to click it, nothing happens. It's like clicking a link that doesn't do anything. There's no failed to use skill message or anything. Nothing happens at all. I've tried purchasing a second manual just to see if it would help, but still nothing. Advice?

I still can't use it on Insomnia. I'll try the Tebb Blue though. EDIT: Nothing on tebb blue either.

I'm of the mindset that it would balance itself out eventually... and sometimes I think that it's not THAT unbalanced numbers wise, but the time zone thing is definitely present. I also typically play later in the night, and another thing to consider is that it seems like during those times, there are more aresden players who prefer the PVP side of things, whereas it's like the elvine players are mostly doing PVM.

80 to 40 here. Seems like it's a great improvement for the European players.

I don't need to play an MMM mage. There is literally no reason to use it over blizzard. It's a novelty spell at best. I know what dex is important for. Truthfully, they're going to hit you whether you have 50 dex or 10 dex. The 100% shield will help reduce the damage taken, and the dex itself will be okay if you have some DR to go with it. You won't be a free EK with pure vit. It all depends on how you play. I played a pure vit mage, dex mage, and even a 104 strength bmage all on the same character. I had both FH mage and warrior and the capes. I bet I could kill 180s with a 112 int char. Not that I'd be bothering trying to kill them myself if I were playing that kind of character. MMM isn't going to kill even remotely near the same number of enemies as blizz. It's essentially the same thing as a 112 int char with 70+ stat points wasted. If you're good enough to PFA them, then you should be good enough to para/hold person. There are a number of more useful things you could be doing. Para/hold person leads to a lined (or diagonal if you know the spot) blizzard for more damage. You could EWS to drain SP. You could armor break to weaken any statted gear. MMM is just there for slightly more damage than the aforementioned EWS/AB without the added effect. What happens when you're in a 1v1 with someone in an MR set? Are you going to MMM them? No. There's something better to use. There's ALWAYS something better to use than MMM. I play Cowbell, by the way.

if you want that vit so much then go 10 dex with blizz. 195 int 200 mag 30 str gets you 162 vit, 200/200/30 gets you 157. 107 vit is more than enough with 50 dex. If you're going to play 50 dex then you might as well make the most of it, work on equipping M shield + tower immediately after casting to lower the damage you take, then place a short bow+dk wand in the same spot in your bag to switch quicker. If you don't like doing that then why have dex at all? As a vit mage, you can still use wand crits, you can use M shield still, plus you have an extra 50 vit or so out of it. I played a vit mage for ages, I would know. I don't care how much vit it is, playing an MMM mage just isn't viable as it stands right now. I could play 112 int and have more vit plus the same damage AND either stamina drain or armor break. I could play 200 int and have more damage plus freezing and MIM on top of that. Blizz/MIM are far more useful in a fight than extra 20-30 vitality in any scenario, except if you're a dex mage with blizz fighting a vit mage with blizz in a 1v1. But since we're considering MMM here and not blizz, we can ignore that.

i'll be honest i think anything above 112 int (i'll go as far as 120 or 123 for CK and LS, even then) and under 195 is a complete waste, ignoring rare spells of course the spells just aren't viable for builds why LS when you can EWS or ES meteor is only useful versus ie necks and maybe to tell if someone is pfm mmm is the same deal.. incredibly limited usage as is even then, i'd still prefer EWS or AB because of the extra effects, and the damage is comparable as well, plus a lower mp cost there's no point in stopping at MMM when blizz/mim are only 10-20 points more, i'm of the opinion that blizz and mim are some of the best support spells when used properly anyway.. if the spells in that range should be used, there needs to be an overhaul of them. Lowering the INT alone isn't going to change anything.

umm... you realize that alone shows nothing right? *facepalm*

Pretty much what the topic title says. Tested on default and alternates, works fine on default, crashes on others.
