    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    Why do people have a hard time with mirror mechanics?

    IB use Grudge (a mechanic that builds up potency based on being hit)
    BG use XYZ (a mechanic that builds up potency based on doing damage)

    Same underlying mechanic, just twisted on the way its built up. Many mirrors in the game are not truly opposites but rather they're using the same or similar underlying mechanic for their play style.

    KotBS and Chosen use auras but Chosens are mainly offensive (debuffs) while Knights will be mainly defensive (buffs).

    Looking forward to these classes, especially the Knight as Empire without a Knight just feels so wrong.

    Does the Black Guard have some sort of reverse Oathfriend for enemies then? Sounds like they could be really nasty to a single target.

    Dark Elves do this sort of thing. They also make leather out of basically anything thats not a dark elf. And they murder/torture people for lulz. And they have a holiday where you murder any other dark elf who is not strong enough to fight back or something like that.

    THAT should be a holiday. Disbar day.

    AoC had almost complete nudity and we didn't hear a peep from him, didn't we? I can't remember myself but I think he had his own problems to worry about, and still does. I'm told working at McDonald's doesn't pay too well.

    Digging the event so far. The RvR PQs have tons of people fighting, at least on Skull Throne. There's been at least 100 people fighting in Troll Country for over 7 hours non-stop.

    My only complaint is that they should have made the PQ the entire RvR lake. The area where kills count is so small that people can duck out to avoid credit, and it eventually turns into glorified warcamp spawnpoint camping. If it was the whole RvR lake, there'd be more potential for small group action as people went for BOs and keeps. Instead, there's just one furball between the two warcamps. Still pretty fun though.

    Getting credit for Witching Lords is tough too. Only the warband that taps it gets credit for some stupid reason. Killed like 5 so far but only gotten credit for 2.

    Yeah, the annoying thing is that destruction can just hang outside their town, behind the skirts of the heroes. Even then, if they get in trouble, they can just duck into Ostland and completely nullify the point you would get for killing them.

    An Iron Breaker had an awesome moment, a Witch Elf wouldn't get out of the Ostland zone, so he came over, rooted her in place, and then punted her right across the border into Troll Country, where she was torn to pieces. Hilarious.

    I'm sure Order fights dirty too, but I'm biased here.
    Order successfully finished the pq, but barely. Destruction had a "oh shit they're fighting the lord GET THEM" moment, and I lost a lot of contribution points fighting them off. They found the chest and quickly swarmed it, not letting any Order get to it.

    We did discover this though, for anyone who goes up against a similar (not very nice) tactic of chest blocking.
    If you have line of sight, you can loot it from a distance.

    So I signed on to try and get a mask or 4 from the new PQ and instantly have a warband roaming the crags of Chrace, demolishing any destro we find. After 11 or so they stopped coming. It really sucks that the PQ relies on the other realm to succeed, but its still decent fun. Also I snagged a mask from a scenarior, looting it from a Blorc. :D

    God I had a terrible night on WAR. Got on my Magus to romp some t2 ORvR to get some loot. Turns out about 12 of us wanted to do it, so we got together in a WB. Unfortunately, like 20 order, 1/4 or more being bright wizards, were already camping the spot. What a horrible idea for an event. I would love trick or treating or something FUN as compared to omg campcampcamp. Although this did let me take part in a large scale keep defense which was fun, but not related to halloween so whatever.

    Then after getting pissed off at the camp/lame fest that this halloween event is I got on my brand new baby DoK. Destro t1 SCs got rolled like 9:10 times I played. And Im not talking beat. Im talking about after a few deaths I just stayed just beyond the 55 guards and casted HoTs. But the one round I did win was so much fun. But yeah, there needs to be somekind of getting rolled buff of like +wounds or some npcs that spawn with you to prevent a total roll. if I lose from 275 or above, its fun and at least feels like a good match. Losing 10-500 is not fun at fucking all.

    /vent but man I was havin a lame night when I was really looking forward to the october event. Now I know not to waste my time. Maybe its different for you t4 or other servers.

    Was trying the PQ earlier with my Level 16 Zealot alt on Phoenix Throne.

    The one in Troll Country, everyone from the Chaos warcamp runs straight north just south of the objective near the Empire warcamp. Right at the very fucking edge of the PQ zone, and proceeds to just zerg there with 90% of the kills not being counted, despite the PQ zone extending west almost all the way to Stonetroll Keep. No one fucking listens, continues zerging the edge of the PQ zone, despite being asked repeatedly to back up or head west and let them come to us.

    I think they hotfixed it sometime yesterday afternoon. When I was playing at lunch, it restarted 2 minutes after the loot rolls. When I got home from work, it took at least an hour or more to reset.

    I hope they hotfix it again and expand the PQ boundaries to take up most of the RvR lakes so people aren't fighting right by the warcamps. The Troll Country one is especially annoying. It's right on the Ostland zone border.

    PQ's/Kill Collectors!

    I have seen a few comments about "well placed kill collectors". You know, the ones right next to a big PQ that has a bunch of the mobs you need, or even just right next to a large spawn location.

    Anyone know of any/all for Order for t1/t2? or know where there might even be a list of all the kill collectors and what they want?
