I think that perhaps someone needs to check a dictionary, as it IS spelt aggressive.

Guides and Tutorials / Re: Alliva Alyeve magic guide

Great guide, I have a similar one for my guild, though, with the reworking of the mage system, you should probably remove the amount of damage you list, eg. 3*P damage, as this is no longer accurate.  Now you have the power bar to take into consideration, as well as your stat levels, and your magic level, the amount of damage that is dealt depends on all of these things.

General Discussion / Re: Fighting on Plaza ALWAYS OOC???
« on: July 26, 2007, 03:07:24 pm »
Well, for starters, Romeo and Juliet is a story, not an historical event.  2ndly, the hydlaa guard is very limited in its resources, a guard is not an army, a guard is not set up for war, it is set up to protect the city from general crime, but not an army moving in. 

I think Hwnae has some good points though, 12 BD's i think there are in fact, and agreed, all well fortified.  But remember, it is a long way from the BD1 area to Hydlaa, and this is the closest BD's. 

As far as minor houses overthrowing territorial lords, history is full of this.  The setting also suggest that PC's could possibly challenge and overthrow the government, unfortunately, it isnt possible in the game mechanics, perhaps some day that will change.

Probably 30-40 each army.  Well we had 30-40 at any time, and the other side had 20-25 most times.

I know exactly what Im talking about.  Remember also we are talking about medieval times, not 1920 or 1940.  We are NOT talking about gangs, we are talking about 2 hostile forces fighting one another in medieval warfare, mercenary armies, or Militia.  Sure, i agree, not a country, but when a city is under seige, the "guards" are civilian, and the army would have to move in to defend the city, so if any civilian took up arms, they would be considered guerilla's, and the army may not be successful.  So lets think about a few armies in the Middle Ages that were not backed by a leader of a country, shall we?  And we will see who is the silly one, as you put it.

It would be more on topic to speak of the likes of The Huns, this is more the timezone we are all RPing.  The Huns moved out of central Asia and took whatever they liked in front of them.  They didnt get into a city plaza and stop fighting because the civilians might complain, lmao. 

Or perhaps the Goths, around the time of 370AD.  Starting as refugees from the Huns, they migrated across the Denube, and into the Roman Empire, where they were treated like crap, so they revolted, taking down not only the emperor, but 2/3 of his army.  This was done within the Balkan Provinces, again, no stopping the warriors because a civilian may complain. 

The Goths were people without a country, they invaded the West Roman Empire, and had an overwhelming victory, which some say marked the beginning of the end of the Roman Empire.  So that takes care of the comment that we arent talking about England vs France, you dont need to be a leader of a country to invade a city.  Many leaders, kings, emperors have been taken down, along with their armies, by alot less than the likes of another country's army.

I wonder if all armies in history, no, lets just stay within medieval warfare, if they would have stopped at the city walls, well, we would still have Troy around today, there would never have been the fall of the Roman Empire, and England may well still be run by the Romans.

If we want to talk history, lets talk history, since this is when this game is set, and the time we are RP'ing, so again I say, it would not be IC for me to stop and not fight in the plaza, if that is where my enemy has headed, I would pursue him, capture him, and slay him, and I would have my army at my back to resist any other forces that appeared.  And if we were to go down, we would go down fighting.

We could talk about this until we are all blue in the face, but the fact will remain, that no one is here to listen to other's comments, they are only here to put their point across, and of course, your point is always the best, and the only one that matters.  So until the contributants of this thread, every one of them, are willing to consider all the idea's put forth, there is no reason to continue this conversation.  I would just suggest that people should learn a little bit of history, before trying to sound like they know what they are talking about in regards to wars of the middle ages, and therefore what is acceptable RP.

This thread in the end, really sounds like 2 kids bickering... "I killed you, youre dead"...."No Im not, I killed you...."

Argh

Most of the posts referring to fighting in the plaza, are still forgetting that we are talking about a war.  A WAR!!!.  A soldier in an army is not a murdering, thieving criminal, he is a soldier, fighting for his army, his cause.  Name me one soldier from history that was arrested by "the guards of the city", for murdering a soldier on the opposing army.  Its childish to think otherwise. 

Perhaps some more people need to watch the history channel, more documentaries, read more books, to realise exactly what was realistic in medieval times.

@Aiken:  Strange mate, Im in Australia, and if i cant get on, no one is on, but then my traceroute appears to be different to you as well.  I have 15 hops in my traceroute, always with a very good ping though, 148ms, well, when server is up, hehe.

Why not just re-install Vista?

If it came on your machine when you bought it, you should have the disc, and the serial number, so there is another option.

If you are going to say, like most people, I dont have the disc, then go back to where you bought the computer, and ask for it, because if it is on your computer, then you have paid for a license for the OS in the price of the computer, and it is illegal for them to not supply you with the disc and serial.

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Re: OFFLINE ??

Server is offline because one of the devs were fixing the constant crashing issues, he went afk knowing it was fixed, but the server failed to come back after the last crash, these things happen, we are just waiting now for someone that is able to restart the server :)

I'm still wary about doing any quests during this .19 upgrade...and believe it would be wiser to wait until the server is a bit more reliable/stable before resuming any important quests.

A wise suggestion indeed

Agreed, the one you note there about building house, castle or realm, is indeed the one I thought mostly didnt belong

Perhaps the about page should be adjusted, as it is very misleading.  When I read that, before I started playing, I thought it would all be in game, because thats what it pretty much says.  Perhaps only things that are implemented should be listed under why should you play PS, and game features, as they are not reasons yet, nor features yet.
