Scaper-X
09-05-2005, 4:19 PM
Follows is a log of a wee discussion in #gwguru on this happening new game.

[14:53:46] <Shinsei> sp2?
[14:53:55] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Service Pack 2 for XP.
[14:53:57] <Mariena> In fact, SP2 was the cause of errors when I installed it Surprised
[14:54:05] <vanquisher> shinsei rox
[14:54:21] <Shinsei> ah, lol, im forgetting all my abreviations while playing RL Sad
[14:54:34] <Mariena> RL.. is that a cool game?
[14:54:44] <Shinsei> nah, it sux
[14:54:46] <Shinsei> too much grind
[14:54:49] <Mariena> Ive heard its a lot of work
[14:55:06] <Mariena> And you gotta do these dumb subquests like 'do the laundry' and 'clean the dishes'
[14:55:09] <Shinsei> the eat/sleep system is flawed
[14:55:10] <Mariena> whats up with that
[14:55:12] <Linkie`> <3 Shinsei
[14:55:38] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> That and the classes aren't balanced.
[14:55:48] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> *rimshot*
[14:55:58] <Shinsei> yea, lawyer > street bums
[14:55:58] * Speciou5 (hixscript@toronto-HSE-ppp4261982.sympatico.ca) has joined #gwguru
[14:56:24] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> However, the moral system is fun. Kinda like Fable.
[14:56:27] <Mariena> Anyway. Security holes? Virus scanner vs. trojans and other spyware. Router vs script kiddies and hackers
[14:56:42] <Shinsei> yea, it's like fable without the horns and the halo's
[14:56:55] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> But the monthly fee sucks monkey balls.
[14:57:14] <Shinsei> indeed. most expensive game ever
[14:57:22] <Mariena> I didnt have to reinstall my system for 2 years. It was my own dumb fault that I had to reinstall my system. :p
[14:57:27] <Shinsei> you even have to pay money for everything you do in RL
[14:57:37] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> That and there's no bonus for getting to a high level. In fact, the game starts to suck then.
[14:57:46] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> After awhile, you no longer want to play the game.
[14:57:58] <Mariena> You actually lose powers and attribute points when you reach a higher level
[14:58:02] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Yep.
[14:58:02] <Mariena> I mean, seriously
[14:58:18] <Nash> boons
[14:58:19] <Shinsei> yea i heard about that. then they delete your account and you never hear from that person again.
[14:58:28] <Mariena> And after a long while, the game uninstalls itself and ban your CD-key.
[14:58:30] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> CD-Key banned.
[14:58:34] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> *bannage
[14:58:45] <Shinsei> but like, they dont even come on vent anymore
[14:58:46] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> But your guild remains.
[14:58:46] <Nash> S-X is a booncake with nubsauce
[14:58:54] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> And a cherry on top, bitch.
[14:59:08] <Mariena> What about leetsauce?
[14:59:10] <Speciou5> This game has the most realistic physics and graphics too, right? =p
[14:59:12] <Mariena> With shizzlesticks?
[14:59:12] <Shinsei> the worst thing about RL is PK'ers
[14:59:27] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Yeah, you never know when you're going to get townkilled.
[14:59:29] <Nash> RL is Hardcore mode
[14:59:33] <Nash> I hate that
[14:59:40] <Neutronstar> no choice either
[14:59:40] <Nash> Hardcore sucks http://www.flagshipforums.com/images/smiles/gear_diagonal.gif
[14:59:46] <Mariena> Yeah, too bad the GMs always respond so slow when you're about to be PK'ed
[14:59:51] <Arcala> hmm
[14:59:54] <Mariena> And they always get a temporary ban
[14:59:54] <Arcala> shower time
[14:59:55] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> If only there were a mod hack for it.
[14:59:56] * Arcala is now known as Arc|Afk
[15:00:12] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Be able to change stats or levels...
[15:00:24] <Mariena> I'd love to play as a man for a week or so.
[15:00:32] <Mariena> But I created my character and you cant change it
[15:00:34] <Mariena> http://www.flagshipforums.com/images/smiles/gear_diagonal.gif
[15:00:37] <Shinsei> i heard some nubs got owned by PvE over at New Orleans
[15:00:41] <Speciou5> The women class is so imbalanced
[15:00:44] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> *stifles laughter*
[15:00:51] <Nash> I didn't create a char, it was randomized
[15:00:52] <Mariena> Hehe, yeah. They got raped by water elementals
[15:00:57] <Nash> that sucks Sad
[15:01:14] <Shinsei> yea, some of them got banned for it
[15:01:32] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Those who are really into the game fear the Dungeon Master cruelly called down a flood disaster.
[15:01:40] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> [/simcity]
[15:01:57] <Nash> I don't believe there is a GM
[15:02:02] <Speciou5> harhar
[15:02:03] <Nash> it's just running
[15:02:05] <Shinsei> yea i dont believe in GM either
[15:02:09] <Nash> and shit happens randomly
[15:02:10] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Nor I. I believe the game is completely random.
[15:02:22] <Mariena> Not our fault that some of those noobs couldnt defend against those Water Elementals. They got the warning a long time ago
[15:02:28] <Mariena> http://www.flagshipforums.com/images/smiles/gear_diagonal.gif
[15:02:33] <Speciou5> They were probably afk
[15:02:35] <Mariena> They needed to grind more
[15:02:38] <Mariena> Or that..
[15:02:44] <Shinsei> yea, they posted it in the News Forum like, a week before it happened
[15:02:44] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Yeah, the water elemental boss, Camille, should have been warning that it could happen again.
[15:03:03] <Mariena> Water elementals should be nerfed
[15:03:05] <Mariena> Sad
[15:03:17] <Shinsei> water is just FotM
[15:03:25] <Nash> Katrina is too hard to beat if you play as human
[15:03:26] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> I tried to gank Katrina in the town of Miami. I started losing HP and MP like mad and retreated to my stash.
[15:03:38] <Mariena> I believe some boons in the east parts of the game believe in Respawning, or something
[15:03:49] <Speciou5> Just counter it with swim level 6, noobs
[15:03:50] <Mariena> But you get a totally new character
[15:03:52] <Nash> actually, all the races ge pwned by it
[15:04:03] <Mariena> Completely random
[15:04:11] <Nash> Humans are imba
[15:04:18] <Shinsei> humans are gimped
[15:04:24] <Nash> They are too good
[15:04:32] <Speciou5> They have low hp though =/
[15:04:32] <Shinsei> they're better than dwarves though
[15:04:33] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> But particularly those who created characters with the African American facet.
[15:04:39] <Mariena> The pr0n is good though
[15:04:45] <Nash> They have best int and good str
[15:04:53] <Shinsei> depends on the class
[15:05:12] <Nash> Yes, but the base is good too
[15:05:13] <Speciou5> Whats your favourite class Shinsei?
[15:05:13] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Very much so.
[15:05:16] <Shinsei> president apparently has lowest int
[15:05:35] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Yep. His moral standing is extreme negative.
[15:05:49] <Nash> The kittun race is ownage though
[15:05:57] <Nash> I like to party with kittuns
[15:06:03] <Mr_Coffee> nash
[15:06:09] <Shinsei> my fav class is probably pimp
[15:06:10] <Mr_Coffee> may i ask you a q ?
[15:06:14] <Nash> G_G
[15:06:16] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> But kittuns steal drops.
[15:06:26] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Particularly yarn drops.
[15:06:28] <Mariena> Guys, do any of you like pr0n in this game?
[15:06:35] <Shinsei> i play as a student though. it's hard to solo
[15:06:41] <Mr_Coffee> the pic on your forum sig, kitty w/ the gun .. you have a larger copy of that ?
[15:06:44] <Mariena> Im a student too, Shinsei!
[15:06:45] <Nash> Everyone likes the pron!
[15:06:46] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Gotta love pr0n. It keeps the game interesting.
[15:06:47] * Imstillmartin (hellooooo@ACD4A0D5.ipt.aol.com) has joined #gwguru
[15:06:55] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> The student class is way too popular.
[15:07:05] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Skill trainers are swaped with them.
[15:07:09] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> *swamped
[15:07:09] <Mariena> The monthly fees are really high, though, and the drops have been nerfed so I hardly get any gold
[15:07:10] <Mariena> Sad
[15:07:17] <Shinsei> same =/
[15:07:21] <Nash> http://images.google.com/images?q=kitten+gun ?
[15:07:23] <Speciou5> Its mandatory for second classes though, Scaper
[15:07:30] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Too true.
[15:07:33] <Mr_Coffee> ty
[15:07:41] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> It's a cheap balancing tactic.
[15:07:43] <Shinsei> yea, student's the hardest to lvl, but you get the best secondary
[15:07:57] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Yeah, my kingdom's known for nerfing drops in a big way.
[15:08:01] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> But at least we get drops.
[15:08:05] <Mariena> What kingdom is that?
[15:08:08] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Some kingdoms reportedly nerf ALL drops.
[15:08:25] <Shinsei> my kingdom nerfed drops by 40%
[15:08:35] <Linkie`> wtf are you guys talking about?
[15:08:37] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> The States United Under American Rule.
[15:08:41] <Speciou5> The oil drops suck now =/
[15:08:43] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> TSUUAR.
[15:08:46] <Speciou5> Getting overfarmed imo Sad
[15:08:49] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Or TSU for short.
[15:08:51] <Mariena> Oh, that kingdom
[15:09:02] <Mariena> Quite crowded, I think
[15:09:06] <Mariena> And a lot of PK'ers
[15:09:08] <Shinsei> yea, all the nubs are paying too much for oil
[15:09:11] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> People love farming the market, though.
[15:09:27] <Mariena> And the GMs are real bitches in that kingdom, I've heard
[15:09:27] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> But that seems to be all they play the game for.
[15:09:34] <Speciou5> You should come to my kingdom Scaper, you get a free 20% resistance vs cold
[15:09:35] <Shinsei> yea, farmers
[15:09:42] <Align> Linkie, the MMO called Real Life
[15:09:45] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Damn. That's a nice PvE perk.
[15:09:52] <Shinsei> that's pretty sweet
[15:10:01] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Particularly against those snow-based disasters.
[15:10:03] <vanquisher> shinsei's hawt
[15:10:19] <Shinsei> England has -90% charisma though
[15:10:22] <Mariena> Spec, that's nothing. You can get a lot of dwarven ale for low prices and a lot of pr0n here
[15:10:24] <Shinsei> just look at vanq
[15:10:37] <Speciou5> You can get a lot of pr0n anywhere though
[15:10:38] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> But they do get +16 INT just for that cute accent.
[15:10:47] <Mariena> Publicly on the kingdom roads?
[15:10:51] <Mariena> I dont think so.
[15:10:53] <Shinsei> yea, but the charisma loss is drastic
[15:10:53] <Speciou5> Sign me up please
[15:10:54] * Imstilmartin (hellooooo@ACD4A0D5.ipt.aol.com) has joined #gwguru
[15:11:24] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> You've got to find two other members to form a guild. Then they can bring you into the game.
[15:11:31] <Shinsei> the only good thing about my kingdom is no exp loss when being KO'd
[15:11:34] <Mariena> My kingdom has these Red Fireworks Districts
[15:11:48] * Imstillmartin (hellooooo@ACD4A0D5.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Ping timeout)
[15:11:50] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> But you might want to fund them, it'll cost them about 18,000 TSU dollars just to raise you to a young age.
[15:11:55] <Speciou5> What kingdoms are these?
[15:11:56] <Mariena> People are so lame, they'll strip for gold
[15:12:08] <Mariena> And even have pr0n with you
[15:12:09] <Shinsei> will they /dance too?
[15:12:11] <Mariena> Yes.
[15:12:14] <Shinsei> sweet
[15:12:20] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Hey, don't knock it. It pays for my skill training.
[15:12:36] * Scaper-X`[Agny] /dances for gold.
[15:12:52] <Mariena> Islands of the Nether, is my kingdom called
[15:12:52] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> It's kinda irritating I can't remove my boxers, though.
[15:12:57] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Never figured out how to do that.
[15:13:10] <Neutronstar> you need the nude patch
[15:13:19] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Shh! You want to get permabanned?
[15:13:21] <Mariena> Lol you dont have the nude patch?
[15:13:23] <Nash> Meh, the internet is for porn!
[15:13:25] <Shinsei> i got the nude patch
[15:13:36] <Mariena> Everybody has the nude patch. It's cracked so people can't ban you for it
[15:13:40] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Dude.
[15:14:02] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> I heard someone downloaded the nude patch from a bad site. His account was stolen.
[15:14:03] <Shinsei> i form guilds and cancel them constantly
[15:14:10] <Nash> http://forporn.ytmnd.com/
[15:14:22] <Shinsei> with the nude patch
[15:14:44] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> That and you have people stealing from character stashes via in-game hacking skill now.
[15:15:10] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> If there is a GM, why doesn't it balance that ability?
[15:16:12] <Shinsei> cus they don't care anymore. they have our money now
[15:16:18] <Shinsei> we havent seen an update since......
[15:16:21] <Shinsei> hmmm
[15:16:24] <Shinsei> can't remember last update
[15:16:27] * Imstilmartin is now known as Imstillmartin
[15:17:07] <Nash> kittuns
[15:17:09] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> We were supposed to get an update in TSUUAR during late 2004. However, it didn't get supported and was dropped.
[15:17:10] <Imstillmartin> next g2 update in 2 days Razz
[15:17:25] <Mr_Coffee> Update – Tuesday, August 30
[15:17:25] <Mr_Coffee> Fixed rare server crash bug.
[15:17:28] <Mariena> When's the next patch coming out?
[15:17:51] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Not until 2008 here. Who knows if it'll just make existing balance issues worse...
[15:17:55] <Mariena> And why has healing magic been gimped so badly? It literally takes months to heal a bit of HP these days
[15:18:15] <Mariena> And ressing has been banned Sad
[15:18:19] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> It also depends on the local Healer in your area.
[15:18:45] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> However, I know how to heal better that a number of them. Their skill training quality has been nerfed.
[15:18:49] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> *than
[15:18:51] <Shinsei> yea they need to boost the regen rate
[15:18:58] <Mariena> http://www.math.buffalo.edu/~sww/s-b/worth13.jpg (http://www.math.buffalo.edu/%7Esww/s-b/worth13.jpg)
[15:18:59] <Mariena> lol.
[15:19:09] <Duck> healing p has been gimped? >_>
[15:19:22] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> I wanna be rerolled as a large reptile class.
[15:19:31] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Sex would be fun.
[15:19:53] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Until I get PKed for trying to play with a human class.
[15:20:56] * BlankSpace (~bs@blankspace.pugs-on.gamesurge) Quit (Quit: zzz)
[15:21:48] <Shinsei> lots of people PK you for body blocking
[15:22:02] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Ugh, and the rampant flame wars.
[15:22:25] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Also, have you heard that there's rumors of ANOTHER SERVER? Supposedly it's parallel to our own.
[15:23:30] <Shinsei> holy shit
[15:23:38] <Shinsei> you think they'll allow server transfers?
[15:24:26] * Imstillmartin is now known as Admiral_Martin
[15:24:41] <Scaper-X`[Agny]> Probably depends on whether someone's already taken your character name there.

Feel free to add your critiques on the title.

When YTMND does it, it's funny; when your average joe in an IRC channel does it, it's crass and "too soon"?

I don't believe in GM
Heh, me neither.

Shame that the ruling party of TSUUAR takes to exploiting its common folk via that belief...
