Mages on recoded balance

[Laurel]

Resistances will be available through layman magic guilds, improved items, maybe even implementation of natural resistance through stats (just as dex grants natural AC, it makes sense for wis/int to grant some level of resistance).

I allowed myself to underline the key word - future!
As opposed to this:

Why do they even allow/tolerate a guild which obviously is not properly balanced to engage in player fights?

it's about now and here, not future.

Gorb/Petros:
Having implemented and launched a guild that WILL have counter balances in future and NOT enforcing any additional policies for the transition period you guys were actually hoping for what? That humans (I kind of assume MM players are not non-humans) will not follow human nature and use this time to their advantage?

As long they used it "only" to grind, one could only stare in jaw-dropped wonder. Soon it started to be abused to feed egos on others (how can any tank fight back against a master of CC and DPS in ANY game?!?!), but everyone was in Irk-hate mode anyway.
I think the reason for choosing Neidars as prey for this was quite obvious. You can join the Irk-hate train, you can fear no retaliation, your RL friends already blew any alliance apart with your support and help.
And then this stuntie Logg shows that he has more RP in his toe than MM-players as a whole ... and an inflated ego explodes and needs more feeding!

Cel, Kas and partly Zauhak:
L2P your guild and stop whining how you got a nerf and how you are unable to do some things now. Pretty please. Learn from those who know how to play.

Btw. have we finally touched the topic of major (on a scale previously unknown to Genesis) CC AND major (that was quite known before a few times already) DPS being given to ONE guild?

Totally support Laurel on last note.

And area of CC is grey too.
There were a lot of CC abilities.
But all them caused nothing by bloodshed and wars.
Most of them were nerfed.

I think any CC effort must be considered under HUGE lens of previous experience.

Pff...we can't be defeated by some pesky scop.

It's all relative, Laurel. And I really don't play Zauhak, due to some of the changes that were made to the guild -- nothing that needs to be brought up. Suffice it to say, it's not the same guild that it was when I joined a few years ago. But that's ok too. I'll get back to it some time.

Just keep in mind that while PVP (or the looming threat thereof) is important to the Tower, there are many more parts that make up a guild. I know I speak for more than a couple of us when I say that it's those parts we refer to when speaking of any 'nerf' that may have been done. It's a shame that the focus has been brought on the PVP side of things (which believe it or not has been nerfed) through properly ordered kills.

But when referring to the players in question that did the killing, they are the largest the Tower has ever seen. I do feel that there are things to be ironed out, and maybe the new magic system is partly to blame. I don't think I would be allowed to get into specifics, so I'll save the admin the trouble and censor myself.

L2P your guild?

Quite interesting statement considering you have not been a member of a caster guild. I wonder if you could "teach" me how to be a Better Spirit Circle member.

I apologize for being harsh, but I find statements that ridicule and jab at players who I know and respect as being quite excellent roleplayers and whom I believe truly do know how to "play" a morgul mage.

On a side note, I wonder if any of you would give up your ability to grind effectively to be able to kill someone easily (so long as you had permission.)

I understand that you must have some kind of man crush on our "assassin types" in the guild, but again, because they don't post here doesn't mean they have any different feelings. What don't you ask them how they feel? You won't - You like to whine. I play the guild just fine.

What is the next topic you can pile on here? The black robes are too stylish?

I find it incredibly hillarious that Laurel of all people tell others to L2P.
