Meeting with orc MM in Krynn

Post by Irk » 07 Aug 2013 00:32

In short:
- we entered cave with blue dragon
- for our bad luck orc MM (didnt know such pity race can be MM now) was there already and Black is small enough to fear dragon, so he couldnt leave
- we stay with him until he get back to normal
- unfortunately orc didnt understand the situation and attacked us after 'warning' (from 'warning' to attack was really short time)
- somehow we survived and in the end was another 'warning'

Rest in the log below:

You grin fiercely as you bring your unusual holy crystal axe down upon the

Foot of the mountains before a large cave. It is noon. The sun has risen high
above the plains, beaming down a pleasant warmth. You are standing at the
reaches of the Dargaard Mountains which rise up high to your east. It is
impossible to travel the rugged cliffs and step slopes of these mountains.
However, you do notice a great rift in the face of the cliff that opens up to
your east. Steam snakes out of the entrance of this cave, making it seem dark
and sinister. Still, it is an opening you would be able to enter easily if you
dared. To you north and west, the Plains of Solamnia stretch out as far as you
can see, the higher elevation at the foot of the mountains allow a view across
the landscape.

In case anyone wonders why Laurel did not use the famous ogre crush. The answer is simple: a MM tanking the blue dragon, Irk and Laurel was able to bring Mr Constitution down quicker than it took for crush to execute.
Balance my ***.

Modus operandi seems quite familiar tho:
grow size quickly while keeping a low profile
throw your weight and guild skills around for bullshit reasons

Some things and people never change ... I wonder if this game's admin learned to handle such cases meanwhile.

Grow while keeping a low profile sounds tactically fine to me. Interesting log though.

Just curious - Irk, did you have any magical resistance on when you took on the orc? hard to tell from the log.

I personally think Eowul has done a marvelous job with the Morgul Mages. Given it's still in beta testing, I would seriously reserve your judgment until the guild recode is actually complete.

Comments like the above are really not conducive to encouraging wizards like Eowul to collaborate with players to make a real difference in Genesis (the whole point of this forum). If you have concerns about balance of MM, you can share them with the AoB team and we'd be happy to have a constructive conversation about it. Or talk to Eowul directly. He doesn't bite and actually has a very cute nickname.

This has got to be the best misdirection post I have ever seen, stir up MM balance issues to take away from the fact that an Ogre and Neidar were teaming. I dig it. :twisted:
