New Challenges

Post by Penny »

Kinda bored with being demi-god? Everything either too easy or impossible to solo?

If you have GoC-set+relayers+stat scrolls+other ED stuff spent on your character it can be difficult to find
that fun fight. Even though +Veritas is doing his best adding new challenges. The thing with insta-heal is
that you're either doing good or you're dead. There's no "omg, RUUUUN heal me heal me" between those two.

I'm going to try a different way:
Make a second character. No pets, no EDs, no GoC items. Just plain old crafted weapons and armor.
Should make it easier to find a fun fight, and still be able to do that gold farming with main character.

Anyone else want to join? Could be real fun doing lady mel in a group without pets and insta-heal.
Failure is not an option, it's a standard.

I had this idea, similiar at least

challenge every one to make characters by OSI standard, 700 skill cap, 300 stat cap, no ED's, no leveled weapons, no relayers, no nothing special, just your standard typical thing, Gen one pets only, no bios or imp pets.

the challenge would've been something pvp related, or something else, like see how much money a person can earn (Though thats kind of lame)

An obsticle course could be fun.

Isn't PvP okay, as long as it's consentual?

pvp isn't considered in the slightest here, so it isn't balanced for, the shard is already balanced and pvp is just completely broken

pvp is consensual only in the pvp dungeon. also, pvp isn't what you think. it's mainly determined by what kind of gear you are wearing. it is unbalanced. what would be cool if you are into pvp, would be a stone that you clicked in the pvp dungeon that would give you gear. so everyone would be equal. once you leave the room it removes those gear.

I thought there was talk long ago about making a dungeon for players that only let you in the gate with basic items. I did this a few yrs ago on a different shard had a group get together and went with min items.

If you want a challenge make an OSI rule set character with a 1k skill cap for yourself. I plan on going this route after I get my main character finished gear-wise.

Only use items that are attainable on OSI, no relayers/leveled weapons/goc, well maybe GoC stuff if you roll a mage since magery is severely gimped on this shard. It will give some challenge to the things that are in game.

I think what is really missing is middle tier content, i.e. people who don't have full relayers, multi-bios, full imp packs. We have the regular osi content and a few customs for lower end middle road people. Then it jumps to the umbris stuff which is, from what I hear, almost impossible for anyone who isnt in full relayer with tons of hp and the insta-heal dex.

I agree, this would be cool. An arena/dungeon where your stats and own actions are the main factors.
