NSab Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Honestly, what is the freaking deal. So I start at the lowest guys that have an attack button but it won't let me attack them 'cause they're not ranked. So I move up a bit and end up in draws. Mind you, it doesn't say anything more than, you had a long battle that ended in a draw. Am I gaining ground here? So, I move up a bit higher on the pecking order and it simply says I lost and I'll be fine in 2 minutes. So then I wait around 2 minutes and start this enormously exciting routine again. How, in god's name, has this game gotten anyone hooked? agreed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Well, this was sort of interesting, the first guy I created was an elf and either got my ass kicked or fought to a draw every time. So I created a new character, a human, loaded up on sword skills and won the first battle I fought. Against an elf, mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elves are okay once you get up some really good magic spells and skill points in those...but you have to fight other elves in the early going as they can't beat any of the strength characters...JME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Dunno, this is pretty sad... This went to an empty profile. Im guessing you were trying to link my profile. I went in and setup my user, and I was getting pretty pumped up to battle. The characters looked cool, and the Orc I chose was badass. I picked a user to do battle with, and was anticipating a fierce video game battle......and then some stupid text popped up on my screen, making me thing This is what these 's are getting excited about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cre8tiff Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 (edited) FBG is a bunch of guys from FootBallGuys.com. We need a Huddler tag. How about MORAN? Edited June 9, 2007 by cre8tiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Cid Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 For you guys just starting and getting a lot of draws, buy a third weapon. It makes a hugh difference in the beginning. And always beat up on elves and halflings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Cid Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I haven't gotten any real good weapons, but I do have some real good armor and 1 cool scroll: Wyvernscale Helm Skill: Light Armor Skill Level: 10 / 50 Stamina Cost: 3 Points Stats: Armor (+16), Agi (+1), Dex (+1) Tarnished Adamantine Legs Skill: Heavy Armor Skill Level: 10 / 80 Stamina Cost: 3 Points Stats: Armor (+10), Str (+1) Air Bolt 17 Scroll Skill: None Skill Level: None Stamina Cost: 3 Points Action: Scroll Damage (17) Limitations: Uses (1 turn) Stats: None Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cre8tiff Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I finally figured out you don't get the full bonuses for items with the x/xx requirements on then until you get full. I just got these: Infernium Gloves Skill: Heavy Armor Skill Level: 5 / 100 Stamina Cost: 4 Points Stats: Armor (+2) THey are ultra rare, and will give me 35 armor and +5 to ALL stats, once I get 100 points in HA. But since I have so low a rating, they are only +2 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phat1 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hey Kid & Twinky, you are going the Fighter route, right? I'm going the mage route. If you guys save your good Mage stuff (UC, R, UR). I will save my good Fighter stuff, (got a Healing 19 scroll that comes to mind... ) and when the trade center opens we can work some trades. Sound like a plan? Big Water or Mental Spells are good for me too. Well, I've got these so far. Mental Blast 13 Water Blast 20 Water Ball 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABearWithFurniture Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Cripes...I keep hacking away at the Rank I prizes and ain't getting squat. Meanwhile, I've almost cracked the top 100, mostly beating the crap out the same few players I know I can beat... Anybody seeing their better stuff coming from certain prize groups, players, etc...?

Kid Cid Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Well, I've got these so far. Mental Blast 13 Water Blast 20 Water Ball 17 crap, I didn't see that post by cre8tif. I've gotten rid of at least 3 pieces of Mage Armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABearWithFurniture Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 lol...I agree. Not like there's that much explanation for much of it. I'm getting my butt kicked by everyone around me as my weapons suck...thank god for elves and halflings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it seems pretty random. Right now I'd be happy collecting some skill points, but all I keep getting is crap like Amulet of Strength 1. I agree. I'm running out of players I can beat ranked above me. Although I do have a win over the #28 ranked guy. That was a total fluke though as when I went back to that well, he beat me like a rented drum.

cre8tiff Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 crap, I didn't see that post by cre8tif. I've gotten rid of at least 3 pieces of Mage Armor. I read through the specifics on the "trade" functionality and player-to-player trades will not be allowed. It will ber an auction-style of getting more money for your goods. So it made no difference anyway. That being said, I have gotten an equal amount of UC and R from level 1, and 2. In fact my Ultra Rare came from perch as a level 2.

ABearWithFurniture Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 What is your ranking/playername Bear? Currently ranked as #107...Boogur the Goblin...a measly 1.4 rating...got no weapons basically to speak of, a few nice swords but nothing spectacular. It's amazing that people kicking your butt ranked lower than you don't seem to have much affect on dropping your rating, but you attacking someone ranked higher than you, even if it's the same 1-2 players over and over again, zooms you up...

Only picking fights affects your ranking. You could lose every fight when someone attacks you and it means nothing. Kinda foolish if you sak me, but I didn't design the game.

Would be an interesting experiment, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I find it really stupid that you will not win a fight right off the bat...you HAVE to wait at least 24 hrs to earn points and buy stuff to win your first battle. Kinda lame IMO (unless I dont know what im doing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat1 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 you shouldn't have to wait that long... if there isn't a cheap weapon for sale, just check back when the items change. Shouldn't be more than 3 hours. All you need is one and you can't start beating people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
