While downloading the client thought I'd thumb through the races. They all look interesting, but there strengths and weaknesses dont really mean anything to me as I havent played the game yet. What should I choose?
Cheers guys.
Luke.
-
basically none of the race strength and weaknesses have been implemented yet.
Personally i prefer klyros, though everyone seems to have an enki.
-
Everyone who isn't a Dermorian that is... or a Northrir... or a ywnwnn or a xacha or a hammer or a stonebreaker.....
-
Luke, the various Races, have different stat, editings, krans tend to have more STR and END, while dwarves might be known better for red way magic, and blacksmithing.
However, if you plan on playing on the RP server, you should choose a race for stats/skills, but rather research the races, and choose one, that would fit the kind of character you wish to be most.

Kore Enkidukai :D They're just the best and no other can bet em ;D
-
If you look at the poll threads, enkis are the most favored, and the most hated. which tells you, BE SOMETHING ELSE
Im all the Menki this world needs.

No because there is no Kore Enkis in that poll

Lol you're technically just a Clamod. Im more of a Menki than you... So is Maisent haha!

Less confused than you. I am no pawn in my guild. I had no chance standing as a leader against my older brother who was a dev, sounds like you're confused. I'm in-fact second in command, I am more valuable in my guild than you would be if you joined, and I am probably becoming leader soon as Akaiddo has stopped playing. So really I am more of a man than you, considering I will probably soon be running a guild far better developed (RP wise) than Bounty Hunters, but I won't go to far into judging guilds. Me being banned from the game has got nothing to do with you, and is really as most people I hear say is an 'unfair ban' I will agree with them but I ant gonna pick up a snot about it, as I already have.
Lets just leave it at that aye, you're showing some immaturity when I was just joking around, Mr Serious Guy ;)
@Weltall no you're wrong, can you get as many pretty pretty colour in Klyros as you can in Enki? no Grey and Cyan, both very ugly colours ;) and if you want to be some skinny bat looking thing go ahead. But I'll always have the ladies cuddling my cuddly fluffiness.
But yes Klyros has climbed since they have a city, and they have good architecture (by the looks of the art thread haven't seen Amdineir on EZPCUSA yet)
-
from when colours are the only scale :P klyros are definitely better for many reasons including setting. sorry but fenki fall for klyros too :P

Lol \\o// Atta boy weltall, you tell 'em!

If you ask me, the best race would be a female dwarf. LOL

thats always been marathals and sarvas opinion ;)

Klyros... settings... fenki falling for klyros... OH MY LIFE!
Races in Yliakum shouldn't be mixed, or... cant be mixed, as it is basically like a human marrying a dog, Klyros's settings are just about how their bones break easily and how they run around their little University, so you're wrongehh. :D ;D
-
Why shouldn't they? >:( I understand Klyros and Krans, but why can't a menki marry an Ylian? Perhaps she likes fur… Or a Xacha and a fenki, Enki + Dermorian…
-
Ummm Mishka how many Spanish people married an English person (or of another ethnic) in the medieval days? It would be around 99.999% would marry same ethnic. I'm not saying they can't marry by all means, Octarchial Law states that marriage like that is allowed, but they get highly discriminated by their families and their race. Just like a Spanish person marrying an English person in those days. My sister wants to marry a Brazilian man and my parents aren't happy about it.
-
Vaka marrage and sex between two different races, is within the games story and guidlines, most of the races that exist, exist BECUASE of mating between races.

I never said it doesn't happen I say they get hated/disliked by there family. Especially the Enkidukai they tend to not intersex as much, you know with how there's the different packs and how they each live separately in Dsars, yes Kore I think was made by Rabani and Clamod, but that was many many years ago IC though. Before The Octarchial Government was made.
-
sorry but even if you history book doesn't report things what is around today has been for ages. as you consider european middle ages.
-
Ok lets get this straight.
I never said or meant to say that it is just completely impossible, I meant it is very unlikely. I don't think being different or doing something unlikely is a great storyline. What I meant by a human marrying a dog was more like Enki and Klyros, to me I don't think Klyros's have babies but lay eggs like a fish, but I am not completely positive about that.
Yes love is love and some people will go hard out, and will ignore and let their family hate them for going against them, to marry a different raced person. But I find that not great RP as it doesn't happen often it's unusual and what I find good RP is someone who is just like what they are, a good normal character (of course with their different fears, likes and dislikes and what have you).
E.g An Akkaio that is a Merchant to me that's a well developed character within settings, or a Hammerwielder who is a Blacksmith or hard fighter is better developed character within settings than a Hammerwielder that is some harvester (which Dwarves are not keen Harvesters and tend to trade weapons for grain with the Enkidukai).

What - you do not yet know "The Noob"?
Start reading it all today! :P

Vaka, I think i agree with you a 'little' bit, how a person turns out, be it enki, ylian whatever, depends on how they were raised, not all enki's were rasied in ojaveda, myself, was raised in the wilderness around hydlaa. If you are an enki, and you are raised among, lets say dermorians, your gonna grow more of a bond for them, then you are other enkis. Parents have influence as well, but what i think anyone can relate to, its the friends you have, the make the most difference.

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU. But, yes there's always a but. The but is that MOST Enkidukai's are raised, or live in Ojaveda. Most of them that weren't would have parents that have been called by the Octarchy to guard in the BD or in Hydlaa. And then there's a fair bit of hunters roaming the wilderness, maybe some harvestors but they would harvest in the Ojaveda Harvesting areas (well not now as there's a plague stopping you from doing that). That's probably about it, the rest live in Ojaveda.
-
Still, every town we have so far [as i understand it] is on a single level of yliakum, there are many many more cities to come, and there are probably going to be more then just 1 enki city.
I also heard once, a long time ago, that ojaveda is not under the octarchies rule.
-
Yes but many Enki cities would be like the capital Enki city Ojaveda, Yes there are a few that went for a wander... a few. The thing is, is that there's far more enkis living together than random roaming ones, so why are there more Enkis roaming than ones living together as characters is my question? Now with your character Earowo I can understand as you have developed him into more of a hunter (as I have gathered) and so he would of been brought up in the wilderness with hunters and now he runs a hunting guild, if I am right.
I've heard that Ojaveda isn't under Octarchial rule but I do not know that full story. I have heard that Ojaveda is exempt from some Octarchial laws, that I don't know but could be true.
-
So many things that need to be specified.
/me stares at Talad
-
you are making it up :)
-
you are making it up :)
No How am I making it up if I am stating the obvious? It's obvious that there's more Enkidukais brought, born or living in Ojaveda than anywhere else. It's like there's more Asians in Asia (Well probably doubt that these days)
-
it's not the same thing we are in the area of 10km something which can be covered by foot in less than a day
-

It's far more than 10kms from Ojaveda to Hydlaa, ICly it's more around 100km as Ojaveda is not in the right spot I believe. And also you would have to travel through the Ojaveda deserts aswel giving you around 2-3 days with A LOT of water. It's about 10KMs from USA- Mexico so is there more Mexicans in the USA than in Mexico? no...
-
Mexico so is there more Mexicans in the USA than in Mexico? no...
I beg to differ, not to be rude, but my second cousin lives in arizona, and they say those little guys are fence hopping all the time..
Most of our companies are giving in to the illegal immagrants and putting spanish on their products lol
-
100km seems too much and the placement unfortunately is right.

100kms from Hydlaa is what I am meaning ICly and you're wrong. Give me the reasons as to why Akkaio East (Warehouse district) is named Akkaio East when it is the closest to Hydlaa East...
E.g Steel Bazaar-Akkaio-Akkaio East - wilderness - wilderness - Hydlaa East-Hydlaa Plaza-....
Also where the heck is the desert? why is Hydlaa so perfectly moist but yet it's so called 10kms away from the driest desert in the dome, you don't tend to be heading higher or lower, just over rolling hills.
Either the naming was wrong and the person who told me it was in the wrong area lied, and the maps (like I said) are wrong then you're wrongehhh :)
-
the 2d maps are right period. and if there is a misnaming and it was named east well... it's a misnaming east doesn't exist and was said plenty of times. The 3d maps are full of misnaming to the point there is even naming conflict and missing references. The one shown in the pterosaur travel is sorta a piece of the full one and there actually ojaveda is even more near.
-
Vakachek, at your desert, and mostness thing, what i learned, in mabey, 7th grade, due to various winds and such from different sides of mountains, when you have a mountain, one side of it is lusious and moist, while the other side is desert, [in this case hyddlaa and oja] there is indeed a mountain in between the town, as you can see it right outside of oja

you call that a mountain?

Even if it is still '10km' away from each other, Enkidukai's don't tend to talk to other races, until they get to know them very well then they begin to trust them. And so they will not migrate and there for there are more Enkidukai's in Ojaveda and other existing Enkidukai towns/cities/villages than anywhere else. e.g 60-80% of Enkidukai are in an Enkidukai town and 20-40% are in other race towns, most of all would of moved there for various reasons probably most popular would be the Octarchial wanted them to become a guard in that city.
Also @Earowo back in those days there would of been a lot more Mexicans in Mexico than in the USA, they have only been jumping the boarders like crazy probably since WWII. But if Mexico wasn't good enough and I know it's not a good example as Mexican don't care about living or talking to someone of another race, then there's more Brazilians living in Brazil than anywhere else in the world, even Uruguay, Chilli, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, Columbia, Peru, Venezuela, Salvador or any other South American Country. It's easy to know that more than 51% of Brazilians live in Brazil, it's just common knowledge.

When I choose a race, I first weed out any race that doesn't have its own models yet. It's not certain whether players who use them now will get access to the character creator when the real models come out, and who knows what the default look for said race will be. I can think of at least one example I read one night when I was browsing older threads where a person was stuck with unwanted, forced cosmetic changes to his character, and that's something I want to avoid.
Then I go and look at the popularity of the different remaining options. I decide which races I like and choose the least popular. In my case, I really enjoy nonstandard races. Enki and Klyros are oversaturated beyond compare. That left Kran. For a while I was even avoiding Kran because I feared all their character creation facts were doomed to radical overhaul, since so much of it is inconsistent with their unusual existence. I got over that and am playing a Kran currently.
-
Dont worry about not being able to customize a model when it comes out, marathal hosts salon events, so you can change your hairstyle, if its a humanoid, if its somthing with varous tails, or horns or hats or somthing weird like that, you can request change oocly as its only fair
-
@Everybody - Well tbh that to me is a little OOC as you can fully change who ever you play ICly with your description, yes it's nice to run around with a character that you like to look at their gluteus maximus the most. But I would suggest taking a good look into each races differences and traits and choose one that you think would be a good character for you OOCly to RP, whether it would become a learning curve in RP (Like me and playing a bad alt, did many stuff ups but I am still just learning how to play one) or whether it's easier for you, probably to start of with it would be a good idea to go with something easier to play than something difficult. That is why I started off with Vakachehk someone I thought was easier to play, I also had the help from my brother to understand the Enkidukai traits, traditions, and differences.
-
Good points. For whatever reason - probably because of the community spirit behind it, and the desire to do something that's never really been done, I take my role in this game very seriously. I must've deleted 100 characters so far as I try to home in on perfection in terms of something I can RP, and something largely supported by mechanics already. I'm a tutorial master. That and I like so many of the races and have so many ideas. Knowing that I won't get slighted for choosing a yet to be implemented race means I might just go ahead and make that Lemur I'd been thinking about. I love magic. Planeshift really has a chance to be something special, and it won't be me that holds it back. I've stopped listing my current character's name for reasons already stated - but if you see a newish character with a sing-songy alliterative first and last name, there's a good chance that's my latest experiment.
-
You can call it East or call by any other name, but the concept of cardinal directions is going to happen if you have creatures that have a front, back, left and right. They will navigate according to these concepts, and they will seek to orient themselves to objects in the environment and to each other. If there is some magical new way to express these concepts, nobody has come up with a system that made enough sense to be adopted. All of that besides, using terms that represent directions in this game is just plain mean.
-
East Hydlaa is named like that due to East Stronghand. Just a head up… And then, saying North Hydlaa is wrong: it should be called Upper Hydlaa, since it's, obviously, upper.
Just a heads up.
-
But still, my point is right, just because Brazil is 10km from Columbia doesn't mean loads of Brazilians live in Columbia, the majority more than 80% of Brazillians will still live in Brazil, I never said I was right about the whole naming of maps, I was just picking up a question as to why they are named that way, nice to see some answers :)
