Realm of the Mad God

[Brickdoctor]

Are we going to do a guild run?

I don't know. A lot of members are on at different times, so there are only two or three of us on. We can try to organize something on a weekend, though.

[TheBoyWonder]

I HATE Rogue. Can't get past 3 for crying out loud. Gone back to priest for the mean time.

[Brickdoctor]

I'm back to rerolling, and this last guy had a horrible HP roll, but when I suicided him...

I've been to O1 countless times, but this is the first time I've gotten the Oryx Slayer achievement. (dealt the killing blow to O1) Didn't get anything from it, though.

The next roll was good, and I survived O1 at Level 5-12, but then I decided to try the Abyss and died in, like, the second room with my training set and Att and Master in my inventory.

[Donut]

If it's of any comfort, I lost 3 characters yesterday. Pretty bad runs overall.

I've lost a lot more in a day that I did today, too (once I lost three T9/T4 Necro sets in a day). I'm just really upset with myself for going into that Abyss in the first place.

...but the game seems to be trying to make it up to me. Got a few pots in GLands, then went to O1 (with Skipper and Pie) and got Ancient Warning, Deso, Att, and Def.

[Flipz]

Anyone on? I think I'm going to start my Knight super-fame run.

I might be able to get on for a few minutes. Not sure.

[Brickdoctor]

Nope, nevermind. Got on, got into a UDL wary of lag, the lag was perfectly fine up until Septavious' second phase. Then I lagged for just one split second and took a shotgun in the face. Literally half of all the 150-Damage snowballs. Died carrying Def, Att, and two DSpheres, too. No more RotMG for me, today.

It was a good run, though. Ended with a profit of about 6 Def, and I got some T11 loot from O1, which always makes me happy. Wasn't that great of a roll, anyways. Gotta buy Magus, ETap, and Para HP, though, now...

[Flipz]

Eh, I'll try again tomorrow, unless I'm busy with Mafia. I just want someone on to hold my Knight gear that you guys loaned him until I restart at Level 1.

[Darth Nihilus]

Just lost a Lvl 20 Priest at 40 Fame to a Medusa, with an Invoker + purple wand(can't remember the name) + 1% fame bonus Tome equipped and Mithril Armor + several other good items in Inventory. AOL won't let me make another account to use as a mule, either. But, now I've got an Archer with Double Bow + Elvencraft Quiver equipped, and trying to get back to 20 so I can get on the road to unlocking Huntress (Double Bow and Elvencraft Quiver were in my Vault).

[Brickdoctor]

Can't you just use Yahoo or Gmail to make another account? (or you can just use a fake email address, since you can play without confirming your email address. It's worked fine for me in the couple times I wanted a temporary account to hold stuff while I rearranged mules, but I've never used it long-term, so I don't exactly know how well it'll work.)

Lag is really bad for me, today. Got on, closed a realm, went to O1. Rubberbanded during the "BE SILENT" phase. Luckily, bullets are client-side, so I ran out of the ring without taking damage from the Anti-Spectators, but O1's bombs, which are server-side, left me with about 20 HP left. Got nothing. Wiped brow, breathed a sigh of relief at not dying, jumped into another realm. Finished off a Penta (and got Vit) to close it, but then lagged out going to O1. Tried again a little later, lagged just a little bit, lost track of my HP, and died to...*embarrassed look*...a Shield Orc Warrior.

I use fake accounts for my few mules, and it's working fine so far.

[Brickdoctor]

Woah, that was...weird. I go to O1, happily dealing damage during the "Be Silent!" phase. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, one of the minions of Oryx from the previous phase that usually disappear makes its way into the ring. I panic, take a bomb from O1, and back into the ring and into instant death.

It also appears that that was the last of my stockpile of T3 skulls. My dying with three leveling sets today hasn't helped. Not sure if I want to buy another one, or just power-level this next char and throw on the good stuff, since before death that last char got me 4 Def. (almost all from Pentaracts - everything else hasn't given me a thing)

I think I might take a break from RotMG for a couple of days, actually. Not a ragequit, but a sort of refresh and regroup sort of thing. I seem to be taking a lot more hits than I usually do, which I suspect is the side effect of relying on other people to be my meatshields during the week of Fame-farming I did. I need to finish up my Heroica quest, anyways.

Ouch. I (so far) have only died 3 times: One suicide with Wizzie to get into the Guild, one death straight-out with Wizzie at Lvl. 15, and one Lvl. 20 Priest at 40 Fame. That puts me at 77 Fame, not the greatest amount, but still decent. Now levelling my Archer as high as I can get him with the epic stuff I got for Archer while I was Priest.

Also, my godkill tally is getting higher: A Construct, a Pentaract, two Oasis Giants (Not sure if these count), two Ghost Kings, Mixcoatl the Masked God, 3 Medusa (Not sure if these count either), and a Leviathan.

[Brickdoctor]

Medusas count. Ghost Kings (not to be confused with Ghost Gods) and Oasis Giants don't. Nice job with the Penta and Leviathan, though.

Hate Leviathans. All random movement and spraying of bullets, not enough loot.

I'm getting back on today, might try for some more god-slaying after Lvl 15 gets hit. Maybe not. We'll see, I guess. BTW, anyone need stuff for Rogue or Assassin? I've got Stingray Poison and a grey Cloak if anyone wants them.

EDIT: +20 HP roll and +7 MP roll at Lvl 11 on my new Warrior.

This is one of those times when I love how easy it is to get back on your feet in this game. I got on a couple hours ago, decided I had nothing to lose, and equipped Horror, Master, and my last Sup HP, with the starter Skull. (since I had died with all my T3s) Got to Level 20 with a pretty bad roll, so I won't be putting the good stuff on this one, but I spent Levels 14-20 in a pretty much empty section of godlands. I think the one-day break did me some good. Wearing a set that's worth 2 Spd more than my normal Leveling set, I was planning to Nexus out at the first sign of trouble, but I seemed to be focusing and avoiding hits a lot better. Using a full stock of HP/MP pots and a T1 Skull, I spent about ten minutes there, and was fortunate enough to get 2 Def and 2 Spd. I saw a UDL, so I went into that, and I was taking things nicely and slowly, and in addition to the Wis pot, I got two T3 skulls in the second and fourth rooms, only once coming close to threatened. (when I ran into some Brown Slime, but I backed out at 250 HP) Nothing not to like for me in my half hour of play tonight.

I also ended up getting a free T3 Skull in the Nexus while trading from someone who was desperate for Spd - got the skull and 1 Att for 2 Spd - so that was good, too.

By the way, if anyone has Sup HP rings, I'll trade Sup Def, Para Vit, Para MP, Para Wis, Para Att, and/or Para Spd rings for them 1:1.

[Darth Nihilus]

Playing Knight now. Don't see what all the fuss is, Knight is basically a tank. The huge DEF adds to that a lot. Then again, I've got Mithril Chainmail + Ring of Greater Health + Golden Sword slapped on it at Lvl 3, so that might be affecting my views a bit. Not quite as good as my +20 HP Warrior with 27 DEF, but still, pretty good.

[TheBoyWonder]

Personally, my two favourite classes are Archer and Priest. Can't get anything past 5 before trying to attack a goblin Mage.

[Brickdoctor]

Actually, no classes gain any Def per level. Def as a stat apart from equips can only be increased with Def Pots. Comparing Shields and Helms, Shields have 2-4 more Def at each tier, except at T1 and T4 when they both have +2 and +8 Def, respectively. Unless you run around the low- and midlands and take a lot of lower-powered hits, 2-4 Def isn't going to make much difference. If you don't plan on maxing, Knight really isn't that much better than Warrior, and it comes down to whether you'd rather have the helm's Berserk (temporary increase of Spd and Dex) or the shield's Stun.

I go after Goblin Mages at 4, usually. Warrior and Knight are total tanks, though, because you can get such good stuff for them. For example, the highest DEF robe a Priest/Wizard can get is Tier 8, while with Warrior/Knight you can get up to Tier 12. Warriors and Knights, as well, can get hugely Damaging swords, such as the Ravenheart, which does 200+ damage to enemies. If you got the best stuff for Knight/Warrior, Acropolis Armor + Ancient Stone Sword +Exalted DEF + Juggernaut Helm/Shield of Ogmur, you could have 46/42 DEF (46 for Knight/42 for Warrior). Then, basically no enemies under Gods couldn't hurt you, and that is so epic that I won't turn it down.

[TheBoyWonder]

Rogue, my best is 2. But, the highest Fame I have earnt on a single death was 4, not counting the first suicide to get to rank 1.

You mean there are players who don't go after Goblin Mages at Level 1?

Personally, remembering the times when I started with nothing, I think the Undead Hobbits and Hobbit Mages are more dangerous. They shoot bullets in all directions, so if you walk over them as they fire and you don't have good Def, you can get shotgunned and one-hit killed. Goblin Mages have a horde of minions, but you can stay back and mow those down faster than they spawn, and then go after the mage itself, which really just wanders around and shoots one bullet.

Also, if you get up close to an enemy so that both shots hit, DBlade does more damage than megablocks, and CSword's range is longer than any of the others', so it really depends on what you're facing. Also, against most enemies, Def only absorbs up to 85% of shots, so you'll still get hit with that stuff in the midlands. Not that it'll hurt you that much, but you will take Damage.

[TheBoyWonder]

I found the Hobbit Mages easy with priests.

[Brickdoctor]

Wow. Stingiest O1 I've ever seen. We close the realm and go to Castle with two groups. I end up in a group that has no Priests, and the other group has, like, six. (ironically, we beat the other group to the courtyard) Go to Stone Guardians, get Drake+Magus. Okay, nice. Go to O1, me and two other guys are the only ones getting in Damage in all phases. (I was feeling pretty good after managing to drink two HP pots while dodging grenades inside the ring of bullets during "BE SILENT!", on a good note) One guy gets Att, the other guy and I get absolutely nothing, and some other dude who just jumped in now and then gets Roc.

Did get Wis and Def from Pents and Necrotic from an earlier O1 run, so I've been turning a profit, but...
