>>The way I read it was Valcer was posting a valid concern about the ranged portion of this ability, to whatever degree, being based on a single skill that is not wildly popular. Then a bunch of people, apparently with a personal problem with Valcer, jumped in and went off turning this into an argument. I mean, he just asked if there could be an SvS component or have it opened to all thrown and even ended it up with a thanks for whatever it turns out to be. Where's the whining?

Do you have Valcer on ignore or did you just not read any of his posts, ever?

He posts his list of passive-agressive drivel everywhere he goes then cries about being the victim and you can't even see through this pile of crap?

And on this ability, are there really this many stupid people that don't see how this is can be useful?

Oh no, part of it uses LT in the calculations, cry cry. Too bad I don't have an ability that can give me up to 80 ranks in any weapon I want to compensate for this if I don't want to train or backtrain an additional weapon because that would be really useful.

I mean, I sure would rather use my stealth boosting khri and then throw dirt and then stab/shoot/ambush them instead of an actual combat khri which can boost my effectiveness in all my combats by a significant margin since my stealth skills are slacking so much.

Wow Navak. You need to calm down son. I don't think you remember how threads here go. Other guilds don't do so hot over here. We tend to be frustrating. :)

And trust me. Your post comes off like you're jealous of Thieves. When in reality, you know you're not. No one is jealous of khris. Or they shouldn't be. They were great 5 years ago... but they're archaic now.

Other than that. Yeah.. you and Slaris were really trolling. I agree with you on Valcer in most threads. But he has a valid point in this one. His requests for a stat contest ability get a little old... but when it comes down to it. He's right. We don't have a stat contest spell. You of all people should realize how powerful they can be. You roar everything within a mile radius.

You might not like the way he posts it... but overall, he has a decent understanding of the underlying issues. He just sucks at posting and sharing those ideas.

I'm not in the business of defending Valcer, but a sting was derailed in which some pretty basic concerns were posted in a respectful way about a guild ability that relies on, to some degree, an unpopular weapon. Suggestions were made on how to make it more accessible to the guild as a whole. Thanks was frequently given for the efforts of the GMs. Somehow that was construed into whining and complaining and a defeatist attitude on the part of the thieves. Pretty much only Valcer was called out for that, so I can only presume that the motive was more personal in nature than objective. Apparently I was correct.

I'm pissed because the thread turned into a conflict when the majority of us were trying to offer constructive ideas, not chew out the GM's.

Here's the thing though. I was agreeing with almost all his points... and yet there were no real digs directed at me. That's bashing the poster, not the ideas. And it's really not constructive at all.

And as far as common sense goes. If LT were not in the calcs, it would probably be more beneficial to more Thieves. True? That's common sense. You guys are attacking him for whining, and also arguing strict realism about throwing sand. Fair enough, but it's not strong enough of a case for people to win over to your side.

I don't have hard feelings towards either one of you. You guys laid bait.. and Valcer and I took it, and the thread stopped being useful a long time ago.

shrug

For the record. I really try not to go to bat for Valcer. :) But I mean... this time he's right.

Point taken. There is a very good reason for that. The points you made, I addressed. Conversely, the points I made, you addressed.

Attempting that with Valcer, and I tried to keep them separate, didn't work out so well.

It's not "strict realism" it's how things work in the game. Everything from clumps of dirt, through those 40 stone axes or clubs (though generally only 39 and under so maybe it's a rounding issue) is LT when thrown.

I also didn't even address Valcer or mention whining until he decided to call me an idiot, but this is the same guy that says he is a parapalegic and his bad spelling and grammar is due to the speech recognition software he uses so maybe I'm just a jerk.

Actually.. this is sounding more and more like the blowguns incident. Let me relive that one if you will.

GM: I have a little release for Thieves. It's blowguns; it'll let you shoot poison at people

Thieves: Sweet! sounds awesome! how does it work?

GM: We'll sell the blowguns at a Thief shop, and you put poison-coated darts in them and shoot them?

Thieves: Can NonThieves use them:

GM: Only if Thieves give them to them.

Thieves: Well, that's cool I guess... be better if we could thug them if they have them.. but anyways, how's the skill work?

GM: Well.. it's gonna work off light thrown skill.

Thieves: That doesn't make sense.

GM: Well, Light throwns is being renamed light projectiles, and since the darts are projectiles it fits.

Thieves: A lot of Thieves don't train LT.

GM: Well.. that's what it's gonna be.

Thieves: We have a music lore split coming up... how about we make it off winds? Then we can have a combat lore.

GM: Blowing a dart and playing an instrument are vastly different.

Thieves: Throwing knives and blowing darts are also vastly different.

GM: No.. it's gonna be light projectiles.

Thieves: What about making it just a stat check. Agility vs reflex... or even agility vs evasion.

GM: No... it's gonna be light thrown.

Thieves: Ok.. but a lot of Thieves still don't use LT... Will this be useless to them?

GM: Fine.. you don't want my blowguns. Enjoy your rooftops

::vanishes::

So... what's the moral of the story? Not sure there is one. Be happy with what you get is the main one I guess. It just seems odd to me that 3 years later... the same situation arises.

As far as the... "that's the way it works" When you try to throw dirt while brawling... You get the, that's too light to use like that.

So... it's technically NOT the way it works. Because it's too light to be used as an LT. I agree there are some similarities. But... dirt is an activity that allows for a lot of mistakes. It's not like presicion throwing a dagger throw someone's armor. The dust has a large area of effect, and you just have to be in the general area. To me... brawling makes as much sense as LT in that sense.

Anyways... it's not the first time this exact debate has come up. Just thought I'd point that out.

I called you an idiot after for the 400th time you came and insulted me with your anti comment against anything i post notice how nearly everyone agreed or was civil about my thoughts except you, you and praxis are non thieve mains who post after any post i make, specially you, for years you follow me in any folder which has nothing to do with you and post negatively on any post i make. If your stupid enough to believe the joke i made about voice software thats your own problem, was a joke wondering what you idiots would say to someone using that since you like to insult every post i make due to punctuation or a thief release that doesnt even involve you.

Number of posts by me in the barbarian guild shooting down your suggestions- 0

number by you after me rudely arguing anything i post in the thief folder- hundreds.

Really man get over yourself your the only one here who sees me as starting this. Youve board stalked me for years, i know you aint got nothing better to do but really man get a life.

Again, I didn't post anything about whining or even remotely about you, Valcer, until you called me an idiot. I even double-checked to make sure I hadn't inadverntly done so and found that the next previous post by me in that area was 300 some posts before the dirt discussion came up.

On the dirt discussion, which guild is still getting stat vs stat abilities or spells added to the game since you brought that up as well.

I'm not the Man trying to keep you poor thieves down but if the reasoning behind something seems to make sense to me, I'm not just going to curl up in a corner as you bitch about it if I happen to be reading.

In general I think you want everything changed to suit you, how you play or don't play, and even in some magical world where it was just as you directed, you would still complain.

>>To be frank I think its pretty silly to make warpaint appliable by one guild

>>I know what war paint is maulem, and your a barb so you will argue it but its paint, I dont have the mind state to apply paint to my face? that is laughable at best

>>Thats it insult someone for posting common sense,

>>This is a 0 skill required ability and should never be instantly killing or freezing someone with a HIGHER stat in the contest.

>>It should be no different then magic they tell exactly what stats go into each spell contest, unless they want to hide how skewed the check is by clouding it,

>>how many people does it take to post the stats lol :P every other stat system is posted

>>UMMM how is 5 words followed by LOL bugging the crap out of em, its not a big deal to me hence why i was LAUGHING OUT LOUD?? just funny that it needs several people to figure out the stats :P

except half the time your the only person seeing it as a complaint and its really not even your business, go read your folder man your obsessed, i dare you not to respond to a post of mine in my folder for a year and ill do the same to you for 10 years.

300 posts ago cause i been away for 2 months i aint even played, there is hardly a single post ive made in last 3 years yourself didnt respond to in an insulting and argumentive manner when it didnt even concern you at all.

I posted one topic in the barb folder and it was because a GM told me too, they said if i wanted to know the roar stats to post there, it was not a response to any post of yours about anything barb related, i did follow up in my own thread. One thread which i created in 8 years, I never responded to your posts there.

also find me some complaints made by me when thieves was getting stuff, back with royce i posted thanks all the time and never complained. You call asking for things complaining and thats the insulting thing, you follow me every single post and call every suggestion i make whining and then try to shoot it down with some lame argument on why we dont need it.

you did complain back then too, i was a board mod shortly before it was announced that royce had left, and your complaints outnumbered any others, at least those thieves that still play DR now.

but on the other hand, navak does seem to troll you more than others.

as for the barb issue, i have no problem with warpaint only being applicable by barbs. the only thing there I object to is barbs being able to "see through" it in the case of a thief wearing it. if said thief is wearing barb title, shouldn't be able to see through it.

we keep getting assured that these type of issues will be resolved when titles are finalized, yet we get no word of when that will be. Another issue with titles is the absense of knowledge on posting the requirements for some of the higher criminal titles. come on... in game we can have secrecy and all that, but not having player knowledge of titles is silly.

now at the end when royce went on leave and was making lies about 5th passage then i complained but the majority of his stay when he was working i didnt even post. I complain when stuff aint being done thats the way of life, i dont go harrass other people tho and complain about their posts every time.


I got no problem with agreeing to never posting in response to navak if hed do the same, i doubt he can do it tho.

Is why i wish forums was registered one guild per account and they just can only see that one. I have a 50th circle barbarian named kilien, but everyone knows what guild i truly fight for, people can say they have thieves but the truth is everyone has one guild that is their main and who they wish to see the best. I like playing every guild and ive made suggestions for all but thief is what i am and he is barbarian yet he posts here more then any thief and its never something useful.

So right after your return from a two month hiatus, apparently miracles are of limited duration, one of your first posts is to call me an idiot and somehow I'm harassing you?

You don't fight for any guild, you complain about everything, all the time. Your "thanks" are often nothing more than your underhanded swats at staff and your suggestions, I guess you don't actually post any of those suggestions in a suggestion folder for all those other guilds or else they have mysteriously vanished, are usually "laughable at best".

Here is a good example of what you do, constantly.

First here is you:
>>also find me some complaints made by me when thieves was getting stuff, back with royce i posted thanks all the time and never complained.

Here is gonif:
>>you did complain back then too, i was a board mod shortly before it was announced that royce had left, and your complaints outnumbered any others, at least those thieves that still play DR now.


Oh and here is you again:
>>And your mistaken gonif i didnt even use the forums my first 3 years of playing

Okay...

And again:
>>the majority of his stay when he was working i didnt even post

So for the majority of his stay you didn't post at all and at the end you complained a lot but somehow you were always posting thanks during releases. This is keeping in mind you have been playing for 8 years, the first three of which you didn't post and Royce left 3 or 4 years ago?

You can't even make a good picture out of this because the first dot (you) and the last dot (whine) are connected with a straight line.

It's a tragedy being on the unrequited side of unrequited love, and while Navak's attempts for Valcer's affection fail because his words get in the way I blame society. It's a cruel world, indeed, which relegates such innocent passion to a conflicts folder.

As i said gonif is wrong i didnt complain till royce went MIA before that i didnt post for years and when i did start posting it was suggestions for royce and thanks when he made em


Your truly a moron if you dont think i fight for thief releases its the only release i do, ive posted more suggestions in this forum then anyone.

The only posts you do are arguing with someone elses suggestions, usually mine


Continue your love affair with me tho boy, i already said ill gladly take you up on a wager that you cant not respond to my threads for as long as i can yours.

If all my posts are complaints then all your posts are too cause 90% of your posts are trolling me and complaining about my posts. Whos the loser someone suggesting things and wanting more stuff out of a game they pay for or some boy who follows said poster and whines about every post he makes

ANd everyone of them argues how we dont need it and usually goes on how im dumb and dont know anything about thieves and how we already have this and that and how ours is the best thing already and we dont need no more. One since i got back a few days ago already said i know about as much as 10th circle thief or something. I know more then dang near every thing. I been here a long long time and unlike 75% of thieves my age i aint bought and sold but you always run your mouth like you and your little thief mule know it all.

Valcer, you have like 3 posts:

1.) Great, this is just another way to nerf thieves and/or bypass stealth.
2.) Make the other guild GMs stop and work on thieves.
3.) Please add X because everyone else has X and thieves should obviously have X, why don't thieves have X?

Nice to see he brought another barb over to the folder to try to stick up for em tho and hes insulted me plenty in the past, one which i mentioned this week, hence my insults...shrugs im sick of the whole debate notice he aint commented on the bet to stop posting in response to each other id be glad to accept cause i dont anyways, never once argued with a thread or topic he made in his folders.
