Realm of the Mad God

[Brickdoctor]

Knight, I want a Paladin eventually after all.

I'll grab the stuff, but Ima have to ragequit for a day or so after that...

Okay. Did you get to Level 20 with Priest?

Next time, by the way, you can try refreshing the page or closing the browser altogether. Also, stay away from higher enemies during high-lag times.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Lag-killed. NOTHING I could do. Nexusing would not work. SO pissed.

EDIT: Also, Quest 17.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My dragon soul sword... Sorry though.

Me too.

Was fighting a Frost God with my freakin' epic Level 19 Wizard and lag came in real bad, next screen I saw was the death one.

Got my new Ranger to Level 15 already, though, so that's a plus.

Still angry I lost the Serpentine Staff though......

Ouch. Level 19 is the death that always hurts the most, because you're this close to Level 20. Way back in last July when I really wanted to play Pally, I raged for almost a week when my Knight died at Level 19. I still try for a long-term playing style, though, and I avoid the godlands during lag.

There're two Staves of Destruction on my freebie mule, if you need them when you go back to Wizzy in order to unlock later classes.

Overevaluating got me again.

Thought I could take on a Grand Sphinx, guess what? I couldn't. R.I.P. Archer PoisonKate. Back to Wizzy now, going for Necro. I'll be sure to try and get one of those Staves to level up with.

[Brickdoctor]

My strategy against the Grand Sphinx is (1) find Sphinx, (2) yell "Sphinx here!", (3) wait for pros to show up, (4) wait for pros to kill Sphinx, (5) hide in the middle of cluster of pros, and (6) hope a portal to the Tomb is dropped. Works pretty well.

That's actually a good strategy!

I just killed a Frost God/King thing solo, so I'm feeling pretty amped! Also got Wizzy PoisonKatie to Lvl 16, more than halfway filled the bar to get to Lvl 17 too.

EDIT: Flipz, are you looking for gear for your Warrior? I got a Falchion + Basilisk Hide Armor + Ring of Defense with your name on them if you do.

EDIT2: Nevermind, got killed by a Cyclops God.

EDIT3: Got my new Wizzie to Lvl 9, and now got a Flame Sword to my name! Almost thinking of killing him off just so I can get a Warrior to use that epic sword, but not sure.....

[Flipz]

Damn it all.

After defeating enough of his guardians, Oryx will prevent everyone from teleporting out of the realm.

THAT's why I died last night--stupid Oryx sealed the Realm. Well, that's a bit of a jerk move...

[Brickdoctor]

No, I don't think the sealing prevents anyone from leaving. Only from entering. He says "I have closed this realm", and the portal in the Nexus disappears so no one can get in, but I've gotten out plenty of times when I was too low-Level to risk fighting Oryx.

Hmm...I've only ever teleported out of the battle itself. I'm certain Nexusing is disabled during the earthquake--I tried it the first time it happened and it dodn't work. I also remember my death coming very shortly after a "I have closed this realm" announcement.

Either way, from now on if I ever see the "closed Realm" announcement, I'm running for the nearest beach.

[Sisco]

Oh wow, the guild hall has changed a bit since I've last been on. It's so much more grandiose now! Oh, I'm back, by the way.

Oh, there is a certain point in the earthquake where the game shows you the realm but is already loading the Castle, so everything appears as if you're lagging, but your shots don't hit, you can't get hit, and you can't do anything. That would be why you can't teleport. You shouldn't be able to die, though.

On a happier note, I finally realized how tame Pentaracts really are, and I went to Oryx and was one of three survivors who killed the Mad God. No drops from either, but plenty of valuable experience. I think that, given enough time and an inventory full of HP pots, I could actually solo O1.

I'm going to test it next time I'm in a realm and the announcement is made, I'll just wait a few seconds, then try to Nexus out.

[Brickdoctor]

Note to self: Do not buff an Ent again. Ever.

Killed a Pentaract. Killed Oryx. Killed 604 gods. Died to a buffed Ent Ancient during lag. And got Flipz killed, too.

[Sisco]

I hate to say "I told you so", but I told you so.

[Brickdoctor]

I hate to say "I told you so", but I told you so.

Yeah, yeah.

Started to re-level. Skull Shrine between me and the Cyclops God. Slaughtered by Blue Faming Skulls at Level 19, which'll set me back 0.5 Def for the ring I was wearing and the Speed pot that I was stupidly still carrying around after killing Stheno. It was a bad roll that I was just taking to Level 20 because I was so close and didn't mind the Fame, but...

My turn to ragequit.

I might try to get that Orange Star, though. Try for 400 Fame with the other classes. Archer first.

[Brickdoctor]

The good news is that I apparently can't ragequit for more than ten minutes.

The bad news: scratch my plan for thirty nine glorious stars.

Ran up to Phoenix Lord. Mowed down birdie minions with my GBow. Killed Phoenix. Phoenix Reborn appears and shotguns me. Run up to birdie minions and heal - no, wait, I'm Archer. Arrow goes off into who knows where. Boom, dead, with a T8/T4 set.

Back to Necro.

[Skipper]

I was just about to post and say that although the day was terrible, I finished it with a well equipped Huntress with above-average stats. Then i decided to go in for one last spin, and died.

Doc, which classes have you reached 400 fame with? For me it's only Archer and Wizard, I've been trying for a while to get Huntress but somehow I just can't seem to break the 250 fame mark.

Final Score, March 29^th, 2012:

Realm of the Mad God: 15

Eurobricks Guild: 0 (Deaths: Brickdoctr: 3+1 Suicide+1 Assist, LegoFlipz: 4, Poison Kate: 3, Hornblower: 3)

Only Necro. 150 Fame with all classes except Trickster. The slow-down of Fame accumulation at 230 makes the other 170 a bore during which I wish I was playing Necro, assuming I even get to 230 before I forget that I can't heal off of enemies and die.

[CMP]

Make that 16. My poor, stumbling Assassin.

You forgot to add nearly killing me with laughter just now with that summary. I vote that this becomes a regular daily thing.

EDIT: The summary, not the epic fail dying.

17. Got another bad roll at Level 10 (-7), so I suicided. What server are you on, anyways?

Though I guess it's only fair to award ourselves two points for surviving and killing O1 twice. (PoisonKate and Hornblower, then Brickdoctr)

You forgot to add nearly killing me with laughter just now with that summary. I vote that this becomes a regular daily thing.

Sure. Should set a time, though, to cut it off, like, say, 1:00am EST. (for no other reason than that that's what time it is now) And edit out posts if we're just going to list deaths so that we don't spam up this topic with death announcements.

I wasn't sure what to call me getting you killed, by the way. I scored it as 1 Death for you, 1 Assist for me. We get a 1-point penalty for getting each other killed.

[CMP]

Try assisted suicide.

There's few things they can add to a strictly fighting-based MMORPG like this, but one idea I've been rolling around in my head is some sort of PvP arena. Possibly even larger scale ones like guild versus guild. Then we might be able to win something.

From what I read on the forums, the game isn't coded to allow it to support PvP (that's what the devs say), so that's one feature that'll never come. They are working on things to make guild membership more beneficial, though. (I've heard things from guild vaults to guild keys to guild hot tubs that replenish HP the same way Nexus fountains do)

Apparently, good things can come to those who wait die over and over and over. My latest roll was incredible. +23 HP, and every other stat except Wis was either average or above average. So, no more suiciding for me; hopefully that'll start off this EB RotMG day on a good note.

---

March 29^th, 2012, a date which shall live in EB RotMG infamy:

Realm of the Mad God: 19 (Deaths: Brickdoctr: 3+2 Suicides+1 Assist, LegoFlipz: 4, PoisonKate: 3, Hornblower: 3, Calanon: 1*, Emorith: 1*, CallMePie: 1)

Eurobricks Guild: 3 (Oryx Survivors: Brickdoctr: 1, Hornblower: 1, PoisonKate: 1)

*Unconfirmed

Thanks in part to all my suiciding, I've now cracked 3,000 Guild Fame. Skipper's still head and shoulders above the rest with over 7,000 now, though. Not sure if that's a good thing. Calanon has now contributed 41 Guild Fame, and I'm pretty sure that that was a 0 yesterday, so that might be an unconfirmed eighteenth point for Oryx. I think K-nut might have died, too, looking at his Guild Fame total, but I'm not sure. CMP is back active and is on the verge of passing VolcanicPanik, while Kate is quickly gaining on Flipz.

Despite dying multiple times, Hornblower and PoisonKate come out as the daily winners, tying with a final score of -2.

Additionally, B&P was quietly promoted to Officer yesterday, and his donation of a DSoul to Flipz backs up that decision. He remains in the middle of the pack at third place with 800 Guild Fame. Hasenklein (we miss you!) was reluctantly demoted to inactive Initiate, while CallMePie was promoted back to active Member.

[Flipz]

Add to that, FreeFlipz (my mule) is open to the Guild for play and muling, Doc feel free to add the info to the OP. My main account is also open for now, since I'm taking an temporary rage break (and because I'm secretly hoping someone else would be willing to take my Wizard [or any other class besides Warrior and Priest] to Level 20, since I can't ). PM Doc or Skipper for login details, consider him a mule with the exception of any Warrior gear. (Unless I REALLY like Paladin or Necromancer, I think Warrior will be my main class.)
