Around the world of gaming:
Well, it seems there is ANOTHER Darkenbane out there (omgwtfpwned, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE). So now you care bears are probably thinking "oh no! more l33t PK’s to take my loot,” well.........I'll let you make up your own mind. I thought I’d post the guilds rule set/mission here so you guys can see the striking similarities. I’ve also taken the liberty of making the segments that made me giggle bold.
• Build the guild with solid players who help each other and keep each other as priorities in the world of Britannia.
• Maintain a headquarters for member use.
• No PK's as members. (this one is especially cute)
• Would never go to war unless all the Head Counsel agree to do so. One vote against would end it.
• Create and maintain a Web Page.
• We are an honorable guild - play by the rules and help only good people.
• We need to understand that we are a democratic unit, that will try to involve all members in the decision making process of the guild when possible.
Jesus what a bunch of care bears.
In other news:
Lineage2 has turned out to make baby Jesus cry because it contains the same amount of PvP as a blue EQ server. I actually physically felt myself getting dumber when playing the game, something that usually only happens when I drink. Let me explain to you exactly why:
LineageGate, the new scandal.
I was so very very impressed by Lineage 2 to begin with. My god, a pretty game, we’ll run and FFA PvP. What more could you ask for?
Well not the big fucking lie that Lineage 2 is, that’s for sure.
Let me tell you what this ”FFA” PvP really is:
Some spells cannot be used to initiate an attack on a white player, this is to prevent the attacker from gaining an advantage. If you use just 1.3% of your brain power, you’ll realize that this ONLY affects PK’s.
To attack a white player, you have to hold down a button while pressing the attack button. This also applies to melee attacks, where auto attack does not work (you have to manually make each hit). It’s my bet that there’s a Korean dev member sitting in his office, laughing at us for being stupid enough to accept such a lame feature.
You cannot dot/stun/sleep a white player. Whoever made this feature might not even be employed in the company that makes Lineage2, either that or he is severely retarded. I’m impressed with his ability to overlook the fact that this stupid rule cripples a hand full of classes in PvP.
When you die as a red, the chance of dropping an item is really increased, as is the exp loss. Also, you may re spawn on a mob that will instantly kill you. There is actually a chance of a major xp/item loss death loop. This may be to discourage PK’s, or just out of pure stupidity.
This system is so flawed/incomplete that I demand a written apology, or the first born from a Lineage 2 dev, to even consider buying this game. God, I am SO tired of games trying to sell themselves on PvP, but just turn out to be a care bear fest. Which again, reminds me of how much I hate you blue losers.
