before I begin I would just like to explain that me explaining my capabilities in some of this isnt supposed to stroke my own ego and I am just making examples
1a is a challenge, doing things on 5-10 crits, people would normally do on 20.
that just means that nightmist has too small of a playerbase and thats why 1a is hard
using 1 character is not harder than using 20
the only hard part of 1a is the leveling costs and finding alot of free time
you only have to worry about 1 character so you can fully monitor everything
90% of the time the party cleric is keeping you healed so you do not even need to monitor your own hp
but for whatever reason
every 1a player I have ever talked to does not respond to pages etc when they are bossing
is it seriously that hard to control 1 character that you all need full concentration?
I can use 18 crits and go to any area/boss + do baal runs on diablo2 + watch a movie/anime/tv show + talk to one person on aim/msn while still holding 1-2 conversations on nightmist
there are actually many people on main that tell me to slow down when I move/hit stuff because otherwise it will lag
anyone who tags along with me notices instantly that I am obviously very very very fast and skilled
the only possible way to impress someone on 1a is your movement speeds or the fact you are not wearing a dagger of the winds
Main is..common sense and patience pretty much.
this describes 1a/main
its just about not getting bored and attacking stuff
the more stuff you attack the more your acct value increases
The fact you think 1 character wouldn't be a challenge, you think 20 would be? lol
the "challenge" of 1a is the leveling costs
but it is not actually hard to use one character
Things in 1a are asked to be changed because the playerbase made it impossible, either with their low numbers or inability to work together.
now here is the part I do not understand
I have by far the most colossal ego on the nightmist server
it could be argued that maybe I deserve to have the largest ego simply because I have the largest number of things to brag about
despite my ego I still think that pking/jumping people is stupid and absolutely boring and I have been under that impression for the past 3-4 years
the only thing that shows real pvp skill is 3v3 with cleric/ranger/ranger vs cleric/ranger/ranger
why do you 1a people harass eachother and create so much drama? wtf are you all trying to prove? the majority of the 1a players will pk as many people as possible so its obvious why you guys dont have enough players
why would a new player be interested in playing 1a? they will have no friends and they would most certainly be pked each time they leave town
just yesterday I had someone telling me a story about how they were on a low thief in SDG and 2 people actually logged on adept thieves to jump him and they still failed
do you guys seriously try to pk journeymans in SDG like that shows how good you are? thats just pathetic even if you hate the person
On main..one person IS the playerbase, so getting the same exact system, well, wouldn't it be obvious MANY things would needed to be changed? It took awhile, but almost everything is done anyway. A new 35+ system and balanced classes..and really it's done. A new experience system would be nice since lvling is way off.
5-6 people on main would be the playerbase but still I understandstand what your saying
Of course, I don't expect anyone who plays Nightmist to think of other peoples reasons.
quite true
And for the record, main has always been easy, even when it was populated and had pkers everywhere.
main has always been easy simply because nightmist has always been easy
People on main seem to forget most of the 1a players are old main players who gave it up
what did they abandon to play 1a exactly? after taking a very quick glance at the top 20-30 people on the ranking leaderboard for 1a
the 1a playerbase is composed of many many 3rd rate players who have alot of time to spare and that never had skills or expensive accounts
the only people I can think of that even had good main accounts when they started playing 1a were jason/ricans/dynasty people
1a players are old main players who gave it up because it was for stoned half asleep people who needed something to do without losing all the time and feeling sorry for themselves.
its kind of funny that you describe the 1a playerbase like a bunch of badasses that moved on because main was too easy for them and they wanted a challenge
the only players to ever quit main for 1a that were in the highest class of skill are broc/dev but dev actually lost his main account/had it stolen so he was forced to
99% of the best players on 1a are not even the record exp holders
if you look at the top 1-2 exp holders for each class they are all ex gate sitters/people that used nm as a chat program except jason/rafa
so what does that show? all you have to do is just be a member of the top 2 clans and have the most free time then you are somehow the best on 1a
1a = free time > player skill
main = player skill > free time
Oh wait, OH WAIT. I forgot, main is harder than 1a. Rolling 20+ crits instead of 2-5 is definitely a trip.
Cleric: sec let me put all of you on my healing macros so you do not even need to keep yourself healed like main players have to
Dotw Thief 1: k
Dotw Thief 2: k
Dotw Thief 3: k
Dotw Thief 4: let me put my nightshades in vault
Cobalt character: k
Dotw Thief 1: whoa a character that isnt wearing a dotw!? dont f*** with him
Cleric: k macros set r u rdy 2 play a text based game in 2010? u get 2 attack once then u stare at an empty bar for 5 seconds that says 0/7 or 0/8 then u get another turn
I would personally rather play a game with graphics instead of playing an outdated game like nightmist and spend 90% of the time not actually playing the game because I am looking at an empty stamina bar and I have no other characters to attack with
sorry
