Inquiry time!

As you all know I have all but vanished from PS of late but those who know me should not be surprised at that .

Well regardless, I am mainly playing Diablo 3 for my gaming needs at the moment and was wondering if anyone else plays.
I play on the EU servers and my Battletag is: VeganMachine#2623.

Feel free to join me in beating on some things there

I think my stance on this proposal is already widely documented. I do not think simply 1 damage should interrupt a spell being cast but something like 20-30%  of the current hit points needed in damage by a single blow to disrupt casting does nothing to improve the situation. In extensive testing with Irec and Kisoji it was found with the changes in combat damage by weapons that damage to a fully armoured opponent who has 200 HA never exceeds a value of around 90 damage when being hit by 300q reinforced axes by a character with 200 in the axes skill in bloody stance.

So in the time it would take to slowly bring down the opponent casters health to a point that this percentage of damage to come into play, the mage would have killed the martial combatant several times with its much larger damage output.

Of course if you throw a high rank in shield handling into the mix (130+) they would block 80-90% of the opponents hits on top of this. So I think such a implementation alone is not going to be able to balance the two forms of combat but also a concept of a spell failure chance based on the type of armour worn by the caster is likely a nice approach as well, pushing many mages to ditch heavy armour, thus being able to be hit for much higher amounts of damage by a martial combatant. We did similar tests with 200 LA and the amount of damage was in the 150-350 range with all else remaining the same, thus making this failure chance by damage much more interesting in the sake of balancing.

Aww well I guess last minute is my sort of style! Good luck dear  and congrats thus far!! 

Who would make better guards than the SPC, headed by an adorable Menki General?   

Anyways, hope to make it to the event a bit. Should be possible as I will be all moved by then... I know I am always moving to new countries but the UK is lucky to have me for several years this time around!

Hope to see the good rp environment, maybe if good it will spur on more larger rp events to be organized.

Awww Marmieee don't get mad! Come give Ikki a hug?

Well in game problems like people being killed in a seemingly random manner should be addressed with the proper in game RP. I have yet to see you involved directly with any RP of mine, so until you witness our RP at the mine or somewhere else I suggest you not make such remarks.

Like I said, Ikon just learned of Kiso's recent actions in game through someone and he has a punishment organized on his return. Dealing with in game differences in a manner that will get the message a crossed to him about our guilds stance on senseless killings while also making a RP event out of it. Maybe you can take your differences with Irec in a similar direction?

I ask you what group of sentient creatures is without faults? Unless completely "brainwashed" people will act on their own from time to time. In game I see it simply as acts that should be punished when they are unearthed. These little "issues" are what makes up human-human interaction, and should make the best of them.

Cheers

Well my experiences with you show me that you are in no place to claim to judge our role-play inconsistent. Characters have their own personality and so killing people may look like random acts but more often than not there is likely a reason behind it. Either way one instance with Irec has nothing to do with our group as a whole, as it was not linked to any of our RP events, also that was before things became more organized in the guild.

Also, we have no alliance with the PoC. Ikon is just good friends with Zarre so their actions as a guild are not in anyway linked to our group. As for Kiso causing problem and randomly killing, when he is back a RP event will be made where he is publicly flogged and demoted for his actions that in no way progress the standing of the SPC. Overall, if you approach our RP with good RP on your side as well I think you will enjoy it like many seem to have, however any encounter with your character I have seen just OOC rudeness leak through overshadowing any attempt at quality RP.

I know myself I have killed guile and others at camp banished getting them stuck on objects and the like before but just the same I often kill them if there by walking around while casting. Bottom line it is the only place a leveled character can get any PP and they need to kill while cursed on top of that so I can understand why people do it but I rather see people just walk and cast there as well but again I said I understand killing someone for exploiting not saying I bother to do it myself, I have enough people hating me as it is *winks*.

So now you retract your complaints that we are doing bully rp and now instead say we just do not consistently RP? I think you might be a bit confused on what you actually think of this situation, are you bothered OOCly and letting that effect your in game character more than it should?

Well hopefully that helps clarify a bit, if you are indeed just bother ICly why have you not sought Ikon or Aensor ( the generals besides Irec ) for discussion and try to work a deal or tell them of the actions of their comrades?

Think on it.

In response to your added comment. I am just saying that it is bothersome and challenging to get a large scale RP going when you are acting as a "villain". Not saying anything to you directly here but it seems in the encounters our group has had with you, you do not seem open enough to the RP to enjoy it. If you think us wrong and your character is angry at us, assemble a force to get rid of us or make a deal with us. Would be enjoyable for both parties.
