DARK DEMON

Silvertongue and Weaken are common enough to be deflected with mirror ritual aren't they?

[quote name='Rumi' timestamp='1346514707' post='121330'] Seigheart tries to kill me but I have cast a mirror enchantment which causes his kill spell to target himself. [/quote] Then maybe other spells like silvertongue/toadpeak or weaken should also be "mirrored" back to the caster if the initial target has mirror ritual. It would certainly make RP more exciting to say the very least

[quote name='kellox' timestamp='1346515247' post='121332'] The portals aren't so random (I think). From what I've heard there are only two places it can take you. Pillars of Harmony in GG and somewhere in Lands of the East. [/quote] Aye, I remember the first time I was stuck in Golemus. It was on my third day of the game, and I think BFH ported me out

[quote name='february' timestamp='1346425493' post='121290'] not meant to compete? hahaha... no comment and i post this because they are suggesting mp2.. so mp3 will not be the noob stage anymore.. so time to bring back the fun.. just a tip.. don't put boundaries on things like saying mp3's are not meant to compete.. do i need to explain why? and the effect of setting boundaries? i think your smart to know it already.. [/quote] No actually, MP3 will sorta take a little of the MP4 learning role now Most people believe that MP4 currently is the stage where you learn most, although the basics are learned at MP3. With the new MP2 system, the basics will be known at MP2, leaving the more advanced and in-depth combat features to be learned at MP3 However, there are some things (like using heat ) which can only be done at MP4, so this stage is still important (and is very much suitable for competitions ) P.S I had said that this post is irrelevant here, yet you continue . . .

[quote name='kellox' timestamp='1346399778' post='121279'] Why are people hating on Seigheart anyways? [/quote] LOL I wonder the same thing! It seems every one of his posts MUST have neg rep!

[quote name='dst' timestamp='1346272955' post='121246'] Or maybe noobs under 30 days (or 42 ) can ignore viscosity and after that day, the visc will gradually increase. [/quote] Eh . . . why 42?

Yes, maybe the AP cost of MDA gates could be reduced (as Libby said) to, say, 140 AP? So even if the visc was +32 or above, going as a small group or just voting could get a newbie in . . . And I agree with Tom . . . as far as No Man's Land is concerned, viscosity there is always below 0, so it shouldn't be a problem for newbies.

[quote name='february' timestamp='1346248055' post='121228'] Bring back the fun in mp3 [/quote] From what I've heard, MP3 is meant to be a learning stage, and just that. So I would say that, all in all, decisions to not allow MP3's to join alliances, as well as removing HC for MP3's, were good ones. MP3's are simply just not meant to compete If you want to do all those "fun" things, then just advance! A simple as that Oh, and your post is sorta irrelevant here too, cause this is just the tutorial discussion XD

[quote name='Burns' timestamp='1346233872' post='121223'] [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/10188-viscosity-reasons-effects-and-intentions/"]http://magicduel.inv...and-intentions/[/url] Other than that, if you feel like ranting about viscosity, you're neither the first nor the last, try that thread to see what we thought back then (note, thread died when Mur made the announcement in my first link): [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/9999-viscosity-thread/"]http://magicduel.inv...ad/[/url] [/quote] After reading those, all I can say is that if viscosity can't be removed, there should be regular LHO runs to keep the viscosity down at the MDA gates.

[quote name='BFH' timestamp='1346183226' post='121196'] Please post the problems you see and a possible solution for them Many brains think better than one [/quote] Problem: Viscosity! Solution: Remove it! Why was it introduced in the first place? If viscosity is removed, there will be no problems for RP-minded people either cause they can get their papers more easily. Plus, most people in general dislike viscosity. Just yesterday, a guy came up to me and complained that he couldn't gain access to the MDA because of viscosity . . . P.S: Viscosity at MDA gates is almost always above +32 so if anyone is thinking that it can help new players when it is -80, then just don't say it

[quote name='kellox' timestamp='1346156208' post='121180'] If you're wondering why the retention of new players are abysmally low, it is not just because of the confusing tutorial, but I think it is largely because of the abysmally high AP cost to get into other lands. Generally speaking, a player will soon grow disinterested if they discover that they will possibly need to play this game for more than 200+ days just to get into the MDA. It doesn't help that viscosity is perpetually around +40 because not many players visit these high AP lands, which adds to the high AP cost problem. Not that i'm grumbling and picking at this, but I'm just suggesting and pointing out that this is a possible or large contribution to the reason why new players aren't staying. This is just some constructive criticism. I hope you guys don't take it the wrong way >< [/quote] Yes, definitely agreed. Many players have been asking me (I tend to spend time in the paper cabin and along the noob route XD) how to reduce viscosity, and are disappointed when they can't get to some areas, for eg: to get their papers from the MDA.

[quote name='tacitamuta' timestamp='1346125749' post='121165'] fresh Rustgold drachom I offer 3gc [/quote] [quote name='Seigheart' timestamp='1346129951' post='121166'] This topic is almost three months old. Check the post date before you make a bid... [/quote] . . . and also bid more than the minimum bid showed . . .

But then those who have just passed story mode would find it unfair cause they hadn't got the free avy . . .

[quote name='BFH' timestamp='1345839398' post='120967'] During this week I'll be focusing on new players tutorial Expect a concrete plan on it here in some hours/days. I'll exclude tokens on New players tutorial. We might include them at MP4 one. [/quote] Yes, introducing tokens in the MP4 tutorial would be best.

I'll be happy to answer any questions you have, BFH . . . if I do qualify for a noob XD

"What the . . ."

Wouldn't it be better to reduce the adept requirement for MP6 so that there are more than 2 MP6's at one time? The requirement 30 adepts now I think, and 15 wouldn't be bad. If heals are not enough, and if they have limited casts, then increasing the number of casters is the only way to go. Just my opinion.

I for one, agree with this new voting system

whoa . . . it's amazing how you can turn something so basic into such a detailed figure!

really? thanks!

Entry submitted and also PM'd a copy to you, Maebius

just to clarify, do all winners get the prot movelock stone, or only darkraptor?

get well soon!

thanks so much!

Dante, could you draw me an assassin avatar? something that looks a bit like the guy in my papers? i'd like an avatar but i've always wanted it to be drawn by a great artist, and without a doubt you're better than i could've hoped for!
