Blackwoodforest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) This is making me really angry. I dont want to fight for heads or even be a target for all overpowered old players! It´s really annoying for every time you have one of those heads someone comes and kills ALL of your creatures. I have more to do in this game then healing my creatures without finding a secure place because like i understood it is nowhere safe if you own heads. I need several hours to heal my creatures for a few seconds in game to be bashed. How long will this take? I´d like to know and I will maybe stay off for the whole time!

dst Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Oh yeah...monthly ranting topic about HC . Blackwood...sorry to tell you but tough luck. There are ways to avoid getting all your crits killed and the first and basic one (which you should already know) is DEF rituals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harion Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 don't mind dst, he/she likes being the villain in this game both in-game and in forums obviously, for someone to complain about heads contest they prolly be someone new and why expect everyone new to know about def rits? hell, everyone should come into this game and know everything! it's a crime to go ignorant in this game, i tell you so tough luck, dst and their kind abound in this game if you dislike owning heads, just don't attack those with heads and if you have some, you prolly already lost them if your rit got broken anyway, heads contest or no, your crits getting killed will prolly happen most of the time EVEN with DEF rits just be patient with the healing and everything else this game isn't meant to be played fast like a game of counterstrike while waiting to fully heal and regen your VE, VP, and AP you can go and explore the land, solve quests and riddles and socialize with the players here that's the main bulk of this game anyway you'll be missing 90% of the game if you don't do any of this stuff and just stick to fighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantasm Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 [spoiler]if you set up weak def rits then they only get one head at a time[/spoiler] That being said the heads contest is really only for those who have either A) Huge amount of time played in a mind power B) Premium account members who have tons of creatures If you do not wish to participate just set up a bunch of weak rits over and over and over again. That will keep others from wiping out all your critters and most of the time if most others see they just get one head off you they will leave you alone. The big hitters are setting up huge defs to keep their heads and generally weaker offs cause most people set weak def rits all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Sorry harion but you don't have the slightest clue how this game works if you say that newcomers shouldn't know about def rits! He**! it's the first thing a newbie learns IF he asks around in case he/she is not smart enough to figure that out on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watcher Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I am amused when certain people say that others 'have no clue what this game is about.' However, Blackwoodforest, there are ways to get around participating in the heads contest. As mentioned before, there are simple defenses which allow you to keep the majority of your creatures alive. Also, taking refuge in sanctuaries is an option, though that only lasts up until you have accumulated seven heads. Once that occurs, you are 'fair game,' as it were, and the sanctuaries will no longer shield you from harm. Another option is to pass your heads to a player who is participating, allowing him or her to gain heads while not destroying your rituals or creatures in the process. You will continue to "grow" heads no matter what you do. If none of the above is amenable, another option is to stay away until the conclusion of the contest, which can take several days. dst 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 why do you even bother to heal your creatures? throughout my first 4 contests, i just didn't mind fighting in that time, the defs are huge, i was weak... you can do other things in that time and heal your creatures again once it's over XD and like someone already stated, this game is longlasting, not short-term-fast-fun like CS or WOW... you can do all kinds of things apart from fighting here :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I'm amused how certain players claim to know everything but I haven't seen them in MD. Never. Not to mention fighting or at least showing their faces. And yeah, like Burns said: why bother healing crits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
