It's just a game!

[Red Squirrel]

Remember, when you get pked, it's just a game! I don't know why, but UO seems to be one of those games where people get pist when they die. Don't take it so seriously. I'm sure you've all played games like halo, and probably have played against friends, well think of getting pked in UO as being run over by a jeep then blown up. It's usually more funny then anything. There's tons of ways to kill in UO, from packs of squirrels to land mines, or traditional mage combos. Yes some things may be a bit unbalanced, but with enough observation they can be changed. I hate changing stuff midway though though, but if something really needs change, then I'll do it.

I'm still deciding on if pvp tamer is considered overpowered due to the high end pets, but in the end, just kill the tamer and you're set. Rabid Squirrels for example are weak to physical and cold, so earthquake and wither will take care of em. If you see someone with a bunch of rabid squirrels, or yoshis, or hell hounds, or frenzied ostards, you know they may mean trouble, so they should be the first target. Just need to find good tactics and such.

Also not all templates can beat all templates, so don't feel so bad if you're an archer and die to a melee samurai or a mage, since you can be the best, but those templates are really hard to beat as archer.

I just don't want to see people leaving over pvp situations and such, just move on, it's a game. Remember there's more to UO than pvp in first place. Unlike other shards PVM here is evolving and becoming better, at some point there will be more quests, and more craftables, etc. Remember there are other templates like fisherman, treasure hunter, which can be fun. Nothing more fun than opening a high level treasure chest and getting KOed by ancient wyrms and balrons.

It just gets old when people complain about a teammate using a pvp tamer. And the person doing the complaining is holding an overpowered weapon that I have no idea how to get. I don't cry about his weapon, but that person and an ADMIN talk shit about how much better they are. I can pvp and run circles around Brunus. Most times at server wars I do not attack him out of respect and courtesy.

I started that coon for fun, not for scrolls. Getting raided was fun. No one needed the scrolls, and if they did then let me know. I will get them pretty much any 120 that they need other than mage or eval. Both sides died, both sides regrouped. That was fun. And you have a LOT of my respect for not looting my body. I actually brought more regs, so much that after I got my body I was overweight because of the old regs. I totally did not expect my regs to still be there, and looting my body was nothing I would hold against anyone.

But to Ratboy and Brunus, you came to a 2vs4 fight. And we had Garlic... he is one of the best Pvpers I have ever seen. And we had a pvp tamer too. And Alvar is pretty damn good too. You killed me when I was in wraith form. Ratboy can kill me more times than not, but I don't cry. I think of ways to beat him. Tues night I beat him in about 10 secs flat at server wars, if I can just get my buttons and timing down I will do it again.

Really what disturbs me is what happened AFTER all of it. Someone was a sore loser. Somehow something very suspicious happened. Somehow a guildmate was found and killed, while losing some good items. Coincedence? Or was it a ticked off admin looking for revenge?

Haha PvP tamers have to be the funniset thing to take on, if you can acually lore the pet away from the tamer it can get pretty simple, although I would like to know if you E01 a pet do humans do more dmg just like other monsters do?

DOC, I was there with packrat. Alvar said he would make a mage in TB so he could kill EQ-Rs and E.s, all I did was check if he was arround, afterwards, I told rat about it. I didnt kill him myself since I had to split packrat's suit to build up Brunus' one. I was going to put packrat in TB as well, but he is on the same acc of Brunus, so I cant do that. And to think, this was really a coincidence, seeing I was checking the sigils.
Them again, Alvar cried like mad, I couldnt read most of the bitch fest since I was taking care of my brother, but Rat told me about it.
A point was proven after all this: He would cry if he had been killed in a lame way.
Squirrel revoked my admin acess, Ill still find you people either way, cause I know where you guys hang out. I could just mass raid everyone If I wanted, but I dont, cause I KNOW after a bit, they will complain.
Hell, I only raid when Rat asks me to help him or when its a real faction fight, and I killed you when you was on a mount.
Beliave it or not, I dont care, I know I'm saying the true.
This just comes with a price:
I wont be doing events or helping if someone needs help.
I wont be helping people anymore unless if my regular char can do that.
I wont be reading pages or handling them. Squirrel cant handle everything, he is the main coder and has alot of stuff to do, so I was helping with the in-game part.
I wont be dueling anyone with Brunus Arkkaza if they wanted to pratice how to counter an overpowered template.
I wont be able to finish some of the stuff I wanted to either.

Now for the pvp tamer part, I dont care much about it, I can handle most of the rabids sometimes, but after a while it gets annoying to die to 5 things that can bleed/mortal/lethal/castspells/melee at the same time. Sorry if I said something harsh or alike yesterday. Hell, I trained McSavage to be a pvp tamer, and now he can pretty much kill someone in less than 2 seconds.

The attitudes of you and Rat have really put a bad taste in my mouth about this server. Like I told Red, might as well change your names to Kaz and Z0rak. Cause thats how you are acting. You act like you are hot shit and invincible, then it turns into a cryfest when you lose.

Rat got mad last weekend when he tried to raid and I sicced my death blades on him. Talk about a health bar going from full to redline in about 2 seconds, I was like WOW. I am going to use every advantage that I can find, and I wouldn't expect you guys to do any less. Thats what Id does, and it makes me mad that you guys talk so much shit about him. You guys were probably still in daipers when the first tamers showed up on OSI. Back when dragons had 1400hp... Back when dragons could just about insta kill you... Back when dragons took a TEAM of people to kill, tamers could have 2 or MORE of them. Don't talk about tamers being overpowered like it is a new thing, they have always been overpowered.

So here is the deal, I love all of the different items and the possibilities they create for character building. And I know someone will think up a better template to take advantage of the custom items. I want to keep playing around with my guy to make him better. But I really cannot stand the crying. And I definately will not play on a server where the GMs and ADMINs cheat, and thats how it looked last night. I will give you guys the benefit of the doubt, but it still looked very suspicious.

In closing, you win some you lose some. Just quit being bad sports about it.

Tamers and mages have always had the biggest advantages in UO. Tamers could tank anything and mages have the widest arsenal of attacks (Short range, long range, attack, defense).

I'm not a bad sports, if I was, I would be bitching all over my posts here. Rat gets pissed cause he likes to pvp, not pvp plus pvm at the same time, but I dont. Maybe I get pissed after a while, but nah. Hector killed me twice today, ask him If I got and bitched.
And I dont talk shit about Id either, since he is super cool and what not. Its just that rabid squirrels do more then any pet and I cant heal thru what they do, not even with SS sometimes.
If it looked like I cheated, feel free to think that, but I can still do whatever I did before, and now Ill just do it better.
Hell, Rat tries to apologize sometimes when he bitched like mad, and from what I saw, all that happened was: "Oh, you are so l33t, go back to fel" "FFS, get your ass out of here". So I'm with him on this one.

dont blame the admin on that. i went there my self and killed him. burno was going there to do some thing with tb. he told me alvar was tehre so i went and killed him. he didnt do any thing about it but tell me aobut it.

and i told every one that i pvp agaienst. (i remeber spacifilcaly alvar) that if i get mad dont take it personaly. im not good at much but if i can go from one person to one person and kill them. it makes me feel good taht i can do some thing. so when i die or get killed cheaply, i get mad. im sorry for that and i warn ppl. i tried giving alvar his shit back but he wouldnt take it. he said keep it.

and i will admit my wep is a bit over powerd. it hurts alot. when it gets nerfed i will work upon it
