Player Kill

Twice in one day. Maybe you should just stick to playing while Cruice and Gizmalin are on to hold your hand?

    Since I never finished rounding up my huntbreak emotes I never finished the anti-huntbreak part of my client (similar setup to the huntbreak ones, CTRL+F1-F12 to set an antihuntbreak trigger, set based upon area). There was some extra trickery to try and deal with doublebreaks in there, so it set both a client trigger and a mud trigger. I'll use the elven shield as an example.

    If I pressed the 'Elven Shield Break' button it would trigger the first break on both the client and the mud to follow, and once the client side triggered it would automatically set the second break inside the area, since I manually pressed to ask it to do that I figured that was ok as well (borderline) and if the breaks were close enough together or I was lagged obviously it wouldn't work since the second trigger wouldn't get set.

    However as I said, I was far too lazy to go around with someone in a party getting all the emotes for each break so I never got around to it. Hence all my kills were done without that and the client was only really used for escape (which it did very nicely).

    Maybe one day I'll come back and place a C on myself on a new char, see how much gold I can make from attempt reports.

    Mirnac - HAHAHA, You really think you where the first to set up a client to break for you automatic from anywhere? Hehe, some did that long before you on old zmud versions that sucked.

    I created my map on the 'old zmud versions that sucked', by the time my map was at 4-5k rooms it was taking me nearly 20 seconds to add a new room to the map, at 10k rooms it was 30+ seconds. Fortunately soon after that Zugg improved the mapper such that it became less arduous to map things.

    And Daeman, things would change ALOT if LBC was not allowed to have spillable drinks in it and maybe was changed to hold multiple items like it used to.:) OMG?? I can't hold an extra 85/100hp of instant healing?? How do you expect me to live with it!! or... OMG? I have no way to get around the nice properties that two handed swords give me but play like I have a one handed one now?? NOOOEZZ. Ok end.

    Oh definately, 2 things though, if you see a minion pack or boss with mods that you KNOW you cannot beat without having risk, you TP and rekick the game. If you get lagged against a group and you normally would have to minorly heal against them and you lag, you hit ESC + UP + Enter and leave the game immediately. As long as you aren't a turtle you can leave the game before the lag catches back up and all the hits register against you. Most HC players use this at least once a week at the minimum. This technique also is done immediately if your merc dies within an instant. Some would say its not a true way to play, but then again, your dealing with lag so its the balancer of lag death possibility. And a death of course in HCL is much like a permanant nuke or suicide on the towers. Usually a very bad thing. :)

    To comment on what Pentheus said is that healing is universal now. Before noone carried it. I remember learning phial and ONLY a handfull of people knew about it. Same with hb's. Client passing and quest info made it common knowledge and since people don't want to die they always carry these items. Secondly, Linhir wasn't around or when it was it didn't get big in the golding scene. So most people still killed gridmons and mapping was almost non existent. So pkilling was in general easier.

    I play two accounts now, in fact I play mostly on my EHCL account instead of my ESCL. Its (what a suprise!) t2tpounder and HCpounder respectively. I play usually around 11pm central until quite late. I am on alot as that would have been mudding wind down time in the old days instead of D2 back then.

    Look at the Barazbund log on the top 20, or Spike - those backstabs were pussified and everything that happened in either could happen now save multiple backstabs and a shitty strike. All the stabs in either log combined aren't as good as bsl stab now, so I don't think stabs being nerfed is as much a nightmare as you make it. They were a bit overboard for a while. I agree that strike being nerfed was silly. Some Ainu alt got killed by one I suppose.

    No, by dumb I meant, 'Only appealing to people who are retarded enough to think that clicking two buttons on their client is 'playing' the game and that they 'OWNZERT' because they are 'uber' compared to people having fun manually moving around and being good at the game not at a client that does everything and basically thinks for them'. Yes its all stuff I made from scratch, but no it wasn't awesome, it made everything on the towers into a computer game of who is best, fastest and basically everything that goes against Tolkiens work, instead of the enviornment that the two towers was before, which was one which people could enjoy and take their time doing things, plan shit out, and enjoy typing ko instead of having their client auto attack an orc. Then again, its pretty apparent which are which often by their obvious skill level differences.

    Heh, I have to agree with Exhalev on the mapper thing. I put it into my client and it was dumb. Dumb as in, I could specify any quest/item/location from where I was currently at and it would find the quickest geometric path to their location as possible. I did attach the grid maps to a graphic (after I removed the function above) which was useful as well but again, takes the fun out of the game. I would prefer much like others here to use the 15,000+ self created aliases/triggers that I have come up over the years. The good news is, most of the best PKers out there still manual react to triggering, so its still fun to spar with them but overall not with most of those who pk nowdays.

    I wasn't meaning to insult your client, Sean... it's dirty and I can't use it for shit, but it does much less for you than most. -- and as I recall, I had some mud alias or mud command which was also a command on your client - I distinctly remember you grabbing the keyboard to turn off your aliases like... Oh, I remember now! pk is an alias for me in the mud, and pk was an alias for you on your client so it screwed me up, revealed me, and didn't have any of my settings correct. But I might be remembering wrong. I did almost get him though! Just a shame that he only did risky stuff like that when I was at your place ;)

    I have triggers to colour landmarks the colour white, throw echoes on shape lines, and a few for a find system I made. I don't even use a backstab trigger anymore. I am content to rely on my typing skills, almost always. 12k aliases? Well, I've been modifying the same save file for like 6+ years now, without removing old shit... I probably use around 100 aliases, not including my triggers for 99% of the huntbreaks in the game. All of which I went around and figured out myself.

    Everything I have on my client, I figured out myself when I was like 12. Variables, triggers, logical thinking, is not hard to master. Mappers are for clowns though, that's all I'm going to say. Its like running a footrace against a guy who has someone pushing him in a rocket-powered wheelchair.

    Amen. The rocket-powered wheelchair thing made me giggle irl. Your client is a behemoth, though - how many was it, 12k aliases and eleventy billion triggers? I still can't believe I failed Gizmalin because I was PKing on your client... then got PKed while we scrolled up to see what happened :(

    Yeah Manni, I don't think you were on for most of the time when i was trying to figgure it out, at one point when i typed find fyng, it posted on the guild comm 10 finds in a row in a matter of 1 second. It was very useful once I finally figgured it out though :P

    I usually just log on to a char that has no hostilities going on atm and mud on him all day. which is why my main has like 2day aging while this one has 4-5d aging.

    Kado before I stopped playing I was only playing at work using a terminal window, so no client etc for a period of like 6 months :)

    Lobo, oh, ignore the 'who the fuck are you comment', with a comment like that I just realised you must be from Herkimer or are at least at the same mental level anyways, as such I don't really care anymore.

    I would never have an auto break client.. Im not Altar.. I just have my breaks aliased into Zmud instead of the mud so I can easily switch from char to char without having to set them up with the breaks.

    I am useless with out my client usually. I used to mud only from telnet then I became spoiled by ZMUD. Now I dont have shit for breaks on the mud and depend 100% on my client for breaking. Which is bad bc half the time I mud from telnet at work. Shrug*

    I recently played around with the trial of CMud seeing if it would auto convert stuff from my ZMud, my conclusion is it's 90% compatible, however for anything moderately complex (especially when it comes to substituting commands into strings) requires extensive changes. I gave up after about 45 minutes messing around trying to get my mapping scripts (the base of most of my script) to work properly.

    It imported the map fine and the speedwalk stuff seemed to work ok, however the room matching code I created was buggy when converted and I don't play enough (read: at all) to warrant the few hours it would take to recreate from scratch. Especially considering that I'd need to remap several areas from scratch and map several more new areas I'd need to get the maps working again. However I have some free time coming up, maybe I'll give it a shot.

    I used mush, and the farthest I ever got to scripting anything, (it took me about 3 weeks to finally figure it) was my find script. which my guild mates had to suffer through 3 weeks of '$Fyng is in @ with 4 ep left on the tower of I suck at figguring this cdrap out!!'

    Anyway, toward the end of my career, I finally learned to break somewhat decently. I avoided a few kills, either way, I found that the more i relied on my client the less fun the game became and the more of a powerplayer i was becoming. I didn't like it so i stopped everything. deleted all my guys and nuked my client :)

    Lobo, given the current climate of clients I hardly think that makes much difference, I wasn't even the first to do it, I just took it a step further than most people. I'm sure people have taken it even further than I did by now (it also appears half of the people using the scripts/settings didn't even make their own and just got one from their friend/brother/dog, at least mine was my own).

    I wasn't napping, I had to press a button to break (usually F1-F5 though higher numbers sometimes got used) and I also had to write those scripts and learn the huntbreaks, I also had to spend an inordinate amount of time mapping the game (and remapping when areas changed).

    If you're going to try and insult me, can you at least try and polish up your spelling and grammar.

    Since we're all boasting about how good we are, can I mention that I was breaking 10 man bangs with less healing (yeah a couple of them succeeded, with that much firepower on you it's inevitable), battlepoints blocking my retreats, lawlessness meaning no reporting and at level 18 because ER's couldn't get to 19 then.

    Inn's shouldn't be enterable in combat. Nothing else matters.

    Side note. I do remember loosing like 30k in death costs way back. That totally sucked, considering back then we all played like Naugrim:) Which would I prefer? Make deaths hurt again. Atleast 1 point per stat/skill instead of loosing 1 total skill or stat. My last death on falling with the durm party in mordor was the weakest I have ever had. I lost one skill on stalking. The death cost me 1400 but I lost 1million experience or just about.

    I remember when I first started playing, which was about 6 months or a year or something before death penalties were changed. I shielded Gilstro while I was talking to him since Pallasch was killing him with Hobytla. Pallasch came back and killed me for it, and I got mouthy. FRA killed me a dozen times or so and I finally learned to just shut the hell up. It's not just in the utopian sense of the word; FRA was being a group of bullies towards a newbie who didn't know his ass from his face. However, it DID keep some structure to the world, which is (imo) more important than justice.

    Basically, Pallasch was a tool, but he was a productive tool. If death penalties hadn't been changed (and all the associated changes like the release of ERs), Pallasch and his ilk would have kept the new crop in check and forced them to straighten up.

    I don't know what my point is. The repair guy came in and fixed the stuff that was wrong with my apartment this morning, which was nice, but he showed up about 4 hours after I went to bed... which was less nice. And now I'm all foggy in the head.

    Orcoron's point trumps every argument. I remember when I first started playing T2T deaths sucked majorly. When you killed someone they got the message, now you have people running around pking people just for the heck of it. Granted, I don't think the low death penalty is fully to blame. If we look back, the implamentation of lawless ERs is what made the death penalty lowered in the first place, because people were dropping like flies, and with the then current penalty it was ridiculious.

    Yeah, and can you remind me about the last time I was soloed when I was not trying to set someone up and end up a corpse due to risking too much for the kill? Nope, you can't. Because the last time I was soloed by someone while not trying to set them up, happened at least two years before you even started playing this game. And this was before people like you needed two VoV and a bota to even consider going up against people.

    Don't pretend you're some kind of superstar just because you managed to randomkill a few unprepared, non-PvP players.

    If I said I was above mediocre - good, great, legendary, whatever - you would talk shit about how I sucked. If I said I sucked, you would be on my ass about false modesty even more than you are now. It seems to me that my only option which would exempt me from all your complaints is not speaking at all.

    I wasn't very good, but even I can do [task] is not gloating. It's asserting that [task] is not very hard. In this case, surviving in that region is pretty damn simple... which is why I was able to do it.

    But if it makes you feel any better - I was not bad at PK. I had a few pretty good moments, and I had 1 or 2 pretty good kills.

    Pentheus, you always qualify your gloating with the fact that, 'you never were very good'. Let's get it straight. You either are proud of what you accomplished, or you can publically get over the fact you were mediocre. Your Christian humility shit isn't a saving clause, its apparently an attitude.
