Hogar, Freevale's page

Hi folks!

I offered TClifford my last invite on saturday. Since he wasn't answering, i gave it away on monday (see page 7).

He pm'ed me today: "Thanks, Sorry I didn't reply but been laid up with the flu this weekend.

tlc1145@ameritech.net"

Please relieve him from waiting and me from my bad conscience and get him in.

Thanks!

@TClifford: hope you ain't mad seeing your E-Mail here in public. Sorry i can't help you anymore.

There was mention that the substance of it would be developed through conversation, but if there is no substance then what are we upvoting? How is it a good idea?

One more modifier in combat alone is enough substance from my pov. Having attacks working only when walking or running, not sprinting, adds more tactical depth in my opinion. What attacks this modifier should be applied to, i leave for the devs to decide.

Of course, i respect your opinion, though. I am not here to tutor you. Yor decission is yours and yours alone.

you are arguing for lasting changes in reaction to short-term issues.

Even if he did, the idea is good. I upvoted because i think the mechanic is good. More options/diversity in combat is to my liking.

Ahem. It was 2 minutes before. Technically, I was here first. (j/k)

Although you are just kidding, my apologies. From my perspective, it was in the middle of the night when i wrote my post and i was very sleepy.

I should have gone to bed instead of posting. Again, sorry.

Since i am using an axe "build" i spam "carve" on groups as fast as stamina regenerates, resulting in waiting after two times
"carve" for stamina to regenerate, which is a little boring.

I understand this was indeed the intention when reducing stamina.

I would like a system where you buy stamina like power to a max of maybe 200 at skill 20. Would feel similiar to HP and power.

First thing: Monsters are just moving harvesting nodes in my book. Personally i see no reason changing anything.

Since this seems an important issue to many fellow players/testers, i will describe my observation with red skeletons. Before i start, i would suggest looking into their aggro mechanic. I had situtions where i hit one (no group, only solitary) with overdraw, it starts moving, and immediately resets. Sometimes they started rushing at me at second or third shot only.

1)Pull aggro with overdraw. Mob starts chasing.
2)Turning around running, using attacks that can be used on the run.
3)When my stamina gets low, my dps drops to a point you were describing resulting them in turning back.
4)Me chasing them, hitting.
5)Rinse and repeat.

Suggestion: Raise the aggro gain with each consecutive hit. This could offset the aggro loss because of low stamina. Making the "kiting race" at least longer, possibly not viable anymore.

Just my 2 coppers...

I would very much like an alpha invite as well please.

Done. Enjoy.

This seems reasonable, although if this were implemented I would expect to see all of the other gathering and refining skills fall under new umbrellas.

As a gatherer/crafter who is not interested in magic i do not like this idea.

Edit) Trying to be constructive: yes, leveling as mage is more difficult then fighter or rogue. Cleric is worse imo. I would suggest making a new achievement category called "weapon" with ALL weapons in it. Tie all weapon based feats to it, e.g. axe spec. Class role achievements are tied only to escalation cycles. So every class is on equal terms, and you have to team up if you want to level your class in a reasonable time. Just my 2 coppers...

Welcome to the community, Russell!

The thing i like most about GW is the way they interact with the community: fair, honest and integrating.

These people are not liars like the guys with the Star Wars or Elder Thing MMO.

Thanks, very helpful!

Thanks very much Harad Navar! Very nice.

Am I the only one already getting private messages about a counter revolt? :]

I am loving chaos...! ;)

That said, this dwarf will further aspire to make Freevale as free as possible.

But before that, i need to get some weapons crafted... ;)

So many questions about the WoT, Companies, and player population are unanswered. Certain of those answers could make very different approaches to how the WoT is played and what smaller groups really might have to face.

Or not....

Well if only 25% actually participated that would give credence to the assumption that many backers were just in it for the PDFs.

It may also point to the possibility that their lack of interest might continue, even after EE begins or they will give a few months try and leave.

What GW should do at this time, is begin to specifically court the MMO player demographic.

Create a new EE Package (month 3) for $50.00 that does not include the PDFs. With that comes two months of free play.

Sorry Bluddwolf, what PDFs? I am pretty sure i am into EE month 2, and i haven't got any PDFs. GW shop says 100 bucks and no PDFs for EE...

ic:
Sisters and brothers, hear me.

I always was the bad seed of the family. I was mediocre at crafting, rebellious towards the elders, and had problems following orders.

But never i did harm to a fellow dwarf.

It was in the middle of the night when the men of High Councilor Nils Igmargun dragged me out of my fathers house. They shaved my beard and tattooed the marks of the outcast on my skin, then i was told what crimes i was accused of: murder.

They brought me into the wilds of Janderhoff, beat me up, and left me to die. Thanks to some shoanti i befriended shortly before, i survived that night.

I wandered far and wide until i came to Freevale. These people took me in and gave me shelter. They don't question me for my past. They don't look reproachfully at my marks. All that matters is who i am now.

Come to Freevale. Be free!

Don't want to be ordered about?
Want to live in a democratic settlement?
Live near Loincloth Pass and Thornkeep?

Join us now! Be a free citizen of Freevale!

Note that neither Aragon nor Freevale are members of The Empire of Xeilias.

In my eyes, actions taken and statements made by any member of the Northern Coalition, and especially the most outspoken, controversial and aggressive members, influence my perspective on the entire group.

Statements made by the leaders of Aragon are taken into consideration by neutral third parties (such as Forgeholm) when making decisions such as "Should we sell our goods in Callambea or not."

As far as i remember, free citizens of Freevale never talked down to you, your company or your settlement. We never called you griefers or implied you are, nor call you other names. We never said nor implied we plan on attacking/SaD'ing you.

I politely ask you for the same courtesy.

Ayeyeyay, i am your butterfly...

;)

I absolutely support this. We desperately need that pile of junk in front of Freevale!

Very nice to have you in Freevale, librarians! Lets "liberate" some books for our to be build library!

In TT, one of my favorite Chars is a LE human Vivisectionist 7/ CE Master Chymist 6 atm. One of my Alchemist discoveries is "Tentacle(Ex)" with the grab ability, and i took every grapple feat i could get.

Combine this with "Enlarge Person" and "Animal Aspect(Gorilla)", and everyone not specialiced on grappling is fun to get toe-to-toe to, especially casters.

Of course, the TT rules would mean perma-cc in PFO, which isn't fun.

Although, i hope GW will try and make a fun grapple-mechanic. I don't think this will happen anytime soon, though. Grappling is just OP. ;)

Thank you KC! I enjoyed your report very much. I hope you had a good time!
See you in EE for some headjumping! ;)

Confirmed: Character Collision in PFO!

... am i right?

Nice work, guys... i am sooo jealous! ;)

Thank you very much. Kudos!

Hello to Bernstein!

Nice to see you on the forums!

Viel Glück im Landrush!

LOL. I am sure I hurt your feelings.

TBH, you hurt mine. I am sort of offended. My first thought was "oh, Avari calling me a hater because i am with Freevale and not RA". I dismissed this idea, immediately.

After hiting F5, i read your quoted post. I do not think such talking helps people outside RA to look at it's members more favourably.

Just because you don't root for the Miami Heat, doesn't make you a Lebron James hater. My apologies to anybody who honestly doesn't know the difference.

Didn't understand, first. Tried Google, found this.

Word play can be a two sided sword with an international audience, like on these forums... ;)

Uhhh. Does anybody mentioned we have elections in Freevale?

Vote for your council. Or be a elected representative yourself!

Don't want to be bossed around?

Chaos is Freedom. Freedom is Freevale!

Came here after a long day at work and read

The Marauders have aligned their company within the settlement of Freevale. Mounted warriors drive fear in the heart of the enemy!

woot?

his level of interaction with the community is far, far beyond what I've ever seen in an MMO, which is tremendously appreciated and a strength of PFO right now.

This.

If you want our opinion on something, be clear about it, from the outset.

"Community, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? No, I will not throw anyone off a bridge as the result of this thread."
Then avoid rephrasing the question in such a way that implies the matter of bridge throwing may still up for debate after all.

You want to get the lay of the land before making a ruling? Fine.
You are just curious about something and want our thoughts with no further ramifications whatsoever? Great!
You have a mechanic you want our input on? Even better!

You want the community to tell someone 'no' when you have already given them tacit permission to ignore your preferences? Why in seven hels is the CEO of the game even asking the community to express their opinion for or against a player entity when they are not going to do a damned thing about it one way or the other?

This.

So, here's my advice to Ryan (and I hope he's still listening): If you want a community to discuss something this...tricky, be prepared to fire the Invisibility Gun at will at the more hostile posts. Especially the sock puppets.

And totally this. (taken from the "PAX <insert much whining here> thread")

Welcome, Hogar. Please report immediately to the designated Freedom Drone for examination. We wish to confirm that your Freedom Levels are sufficiently high.

Trust Friend Gpunk!

Uhh. I had a numerian device floating around my head beeping all the time. Wanted to whack it with my axe first... do you mean that?

BTW: wasn't aware you are with us. Thanks for all the good mojo you brought this community. Please keep up your pranks, you make me laugh (and think sometimes).

Welcome! Though it is raining today in Freevale, I hear tomorrow will be a sunny day!

Where freedom is at home, the sun shines every day, regardless of the weather. ;)

Hooogaaaaaar! Welcome to the best settlement this side of the River Kingdoms.

Those extraordinary goblins are on the other side.

Indeed. The extraordinary ones are on the other side. On this side, there is freedom.

Freedom of speech.
