Harion Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 i set up rituals and when all creatures in that ritual die, it gets lost then i create another one, rinse and repeat it seems to me there's no point in creating rituals aside from healing and defensive rituals so when i got tired of creating and remaking my rituals whenever they are lost i just decided to keep using random ritual anyway, i win most of the time no matter which creature gets used only lose when the random ritual uses all weak creatures or those with low vitality but then i started reading here in the forums (didn't register before as i didn't want to be spoiled) only registered when i realized i was nearing breaking mp4 and thinking it might be wiser to find out if im making a mistake with what i'm doing which might be hard to reverse later on so, i read that rituals can acquire combos and max was 100 and i asked, so what? do unbroken combos make the ritual stronger? if so, then i'll start kicking myself now because i just lost a chance to get a ritual combo that could've reached 100 easily i reached 100 wins easy with my loss somewhere around 40 and the only reason i stayed at mp3 longer was needing more XP coz i stoppped acquiring xp when my win/loss ratio got so lopsided i could've kept winning but realized i needed to farm losses even though i notice i am still gaining XP even when it says 0% i just need to balance my profile so i could start gaining max XP when i resume story mode -- another thing is there seems to be no way to prevent my progressing to mp4 i still don't want to go to mp4 until i've had a few more things tested i was planning on levelling up all my creatures and sacrificing them all and getting new ones and repeating said cycle until i have enough vitality to buy that damn egg then i realize that if i step to mp4 with new creatures, i will get creamed with no way to recover thankfully, i've only sacrificed one max levelled creature which was aramor assassin also, i don't want to go to mp4 w/o getting inside loreroot, gg, and necrovion i've read that there are some areas i won't be able to access once i get to mp4 -- lastly, from my understanding, utilizing heat and storing it can only be done at mp4 at least that's what it says on the heat icon just want to know if this is correct -- pps. oh, and i forgot, can quests only be done by contacting RPCs in-game or can they be contacted here in forums as well? -- and how the hell do i start injecting/inserting myself in the MD world story? i've been pretty much anti-social in-game just going around and fighting i see everyone role-playing stuff in chat and i feel kinda stupid just butting in conversations where everyone talks in a roleplay manner with colored texts everywhere (and for the record, i only know how to talk in blue and gray) -- random thoughts: seeing as this game is still in alpha or beta i can only imagine what it'd be when or if it ever gets completed it would more than ROCK, i'd say this game is one step more closer to achieving what i truly want an RPG to be once an AI gets made that can construct story mode in such a way that an infinite number of possibilities and branches can be chosen with a story that isn't written by a human author but is created and collated simultaneously from the actions of all players in the game world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grido Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 you will value rituals more in mp4 and certainly in mp5, as everyone has better stats than you, so you will lose really easily and quickly if you dont set up rituals to combat their attacks. [quote]also, i don't want to go to mp4 w/o getting inside loreroot, gg, and necrovion i've read that there are some areas i won't be able to access once i get to mp4[/quote]while possible, it's extremely hard to get into Lore at mp3, and getting into Golemus or Necro at mp3 is unlikely also, you will still be able to access these places at mp4 through the same methods you'd use to get into them at mp3. [quote]lastly, from my understanding, utilizing heat and storing it can only be done at mp4 at least that's what it says on the heat icon just want to know if this is correct[/quote]it's from mp4 onwards, so mp4/5/6/7 [quote]pps. oh, and i forgot, can quests only be done by contacting RPCs in-game or can they be contacted here in forums as well?[/quote]it would be better to do it in-game, for instance i keep my forum account relatively seperate frommy in game one, as i dont stay in role on here, whereas i'm sort of in role most of the time in the realm itself [quote]and how the hell do i start injecting/inserting myself in the MD world story? i've been pretty much anti-social in-game just going around and fighting[/quote] start a role for yourself, make your papers at some point, people might start talking to you more if they are interested in your role, your role can be just about anything you can imagine, lookaround at what there already is, but try to create something new and different [quote]seeing as this game is still in alpha or beta i can only imagine what it'd be when or if it ever gets completed it would more than ROCK, i'd say[/quote] Perpetual Alpha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightsage Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Rituals get more vitality in attack only when their combo count rises, depending on the situation this makes them stronger or weaker. And I can assure you there's a much easier way to beat the loreroot guards then a brute force attack. And about those papers, you might want to pay a visit to the archives lobby to get your own, and look at those of others (the rectangles with a symbol in them when you click a players name link to a page of theirs, about their character or something else) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harion Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 idk if this will be a spoiler so... [spoiler]yeah, everyone's said there's a way aside from brute force, but heck, a single crit rit surely didn't work for me. the guards aren't all multi-attackers. there's one that hits single crits. i've thought that maybe what the hint meant was using an unupgrade creature, or hell, even just the egg still unhatched. haven't tried that theory yet though. but what's clear to me is that to win, i need to at least do damage to the guards. that, or last a certain number of rounds.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 but brute force is more fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightsage Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Agreed... I really wish I could fight the LR guards again and then use a single aramor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nex Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 yep, its pretty fun to play around with them at mp4, i tried it with a level 1 joker first and actually managed to lose at 100% then i used a lone, newly bought aramor to finish the job. on topic: thats NOT how you normally do it, [spoiler]you should try to exploit their greatest weakness, which, unless you use it against them, is one of their greatest strenghts[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
