thanks for stopping by talisker, and thanks for all the hard work you and your team are doing. (also thanks quinn for catching him =P)




perhaps once a week you could pop in and say hi, possibly give us mini updates if it doesnt disclose too much?

your post here will go a long way to settling some of the doomsayers and shed a little hope for us  

actually, i like your posts, iv been reading this forum since release and your name is one i LOOK for to read, it will be sad to see you go,

/bow to you Soluss and good luck

so in a counter-argument, your saying that knowledge of a class, and of game play should not affect your chances at a group, but just the numbers should?

just hitting the number keys on my keyboard is not how i personally want to play, that makes a game much akin to a children's toy that says things as you push a button with a picture on it

im not saying that the negative argument is wrong, but if we are to wait for the devs to fix what needs fixing,
it would be nice to find other ways to make us work, as opposed to just giving up like this.

i do agree with what you said, in a lot of ways, id actually like to have this thread turn into a well rounded debate, taking in all aspects of people that play this game.


i wont deny that i am an optimist ... i am a perpetual optimist in real life about everything.

hehehe you have a point soluss =D guess im just unusually lucky >.< but dots are the bane of FD's existance.

i mapped "F" as my feign key so its close at hand to WASD, by tapping forward and hitting F really fast it moves and re feigns me,


the issue with FD stems from the way abilities are done for Npc's and PCs, if they trip an abilitie that isnt instant, they try to compleate the cast regardless, keeping them in combat, but they will not re cast while they think they are still in combat with you FD, hitting these keys really fast doesnt generally give the npc a chance to begin the cast again, but you are correct that it does sometimes happen.

I used the hill leading up to the ledge a tsangs to raise my skill from ~50 to 160ish, (~50 earned by  never using ramps in CB) and im currently raising it playing a VERy dangerous game with the elevator in New Taarganor(sp?)

the FD "in combat on success" bug is a nul issue, there is an easy work around for it involving hiting two keys in rapid succession 

i get invited to groups constantly, because i have built a reputation of doing the impossible, i am the puller, i off tank, and DPS, im corpse retrieval and wipe recovery, i crowd control with the best of them. people take me over other DPS because while i may NOT do quite as much, i still add a respectable amount, AND i add that benifit of the group never wiping entierly.

just the other day in tsangs, we accidently pulled rubicon and half the room with him, so i had everyone burn ruby down as far as they could. (i was 21 at the time) now i feigned mid way through as to not be high on  the aggro list.

the group proceded to wipe in the spot we had cleared, and just before the healer went down i burned my jin to finish the last 40% of rubicon and feigned... poped up and used the gem on the cleric


i see all this complaining, and the only thing i think, is, am i doing somthing that no one else is doing?
i dont see it that way, while i may be "lower level" and will hear "just wait till higher no one will group with you"
 i think people are focusing FAR to much on the negitive, insted of finding out what works now instead. find work arounds for our issues, and while i dont say we should just let the issues lie, in general all i have seen is threats of quitting if XX isnt fixed, or we are weakest because of YY,

they are Balancing the gameplay, and you expect them to just heap on buffs to us?

is that how a scale gets balanced? dump a ton of somthing on one side and hope all goes well? or do you add a bit at a time?


and no this isnt an attack on you or anyone, what im saying is look for other methods to make yourself worthwhile and groups (that have a brain) shouldnt pass you over

i call mine needle,  and i stab people with the pointy end 


in all seriousness, this is an awsome weapon for the level, and parrying alot means you are taking 50% less damage (by activating quivering palm)

i duoed the tomb with a 21 cleric =)  i tanked it, and nerve strike is insanely awsome btw
