Priscilla's Lifehunters

The point was, its overly complex, especially for weapons.

I'm with sun, a list of banned weapons would work better. Btw, don't ban the zweihander. The great sword is so useless it isn't even funny, the range difference is huge.

Greatsword's shorter??? Please don't tell me that!!!!

Yeah, its shorter than the dgm even. Only the dragon great sword is shorter in that catagory.

It's a lot easier to ban weapons that clash with your cov's theme than it is to make a list of those that don't.

LOL! Then the Zwei will be rank 3 weapon!!! Recruits get to use the shorty "Great"sword!!! So fun.

Neways Orns at 30 atm... So we could have a few duels at sens if you hav somethng in that range

I will protect you dear friend! And if you shall fall in battle I will smash the **** out of your corpse to steal your powers!

Also I would love for you guys to fight us with dragons! Though I think we need dragon slaying practice.

Depending on our scheduling we should be hosting some pvps today or tomorrow in the SL50 range so follow our thread in general and join us when you can! Maybe once we hit SL80 we shall invade the Painted World and challenge life hunters to protect their queen!

Bout this... Fed may be you should keep a lightning spear as back up... So if I die during a fight.. Its like you take my powers... lol

Lightning Pike lol.

Or do the Gold Pine Resin glitch. Smough's Hammer gets lightning.

Can you buff Smoughs hammer?

Oh its a glitch... Fed u following this bud

And I actually meant the miracle lightning spear

No, but with the glitch you can visually buff it.

Yes I'm following! Stealing your power would be fun, doesn't help if you're host though

Wyrm can you PM me how to do that glitch? Sounds like fun!

Dunno know how to do it. You'll have to search youtube or google it.

Are the skill tests not enough? Incentive to rank shouldn't come at the cost of effectiveness. I'd find a different way.

Skill test it's like a graduation . The weapons should be the reward. I want to do the same with armors but they are more difficult to categorize and I haven't got time to sit and think about it. Golem Armor should be a rank 1~2 heavy armor.

Forum he appears dead set on the rank and reward thing; the best you can do is help him make it as painless as possible.

LOL @sun

As an analogy Wyrm is giving borth to a new cov basically, and forum you are an epidural.

I shall give borth! lo it is alive !
still, you really dont want it to be such a hostile system at lower ranks that it drives people off, or so restrictive that people dont obey it.

Armors are far easier to do it with, it just requires full sets. (which I'm against as well).

I'm telling you, if I was a scythe specialist and you wanted to limit me to the halberd til rank 3, I'd walk away. Same with my dgm, if I had to use a greatsword until rank 3 I wouldn't bother.

What if we just changed the rank rules? Rank 1 is the bs test, 2 is basic parrying (ie non combat situation,) 3 is 1v3, 4 and 5 are limited in number (which is increased as we get bigger and excluding CMs, more 4s than 5s) The only way to be rank 4 or 5 is to unseat a current rank 4 or 5 member and adherence to the rules. Determined by a a set of best of 3 "invasions" where the host summons one party, who hides as the "host", then the real host summons the other participant and they hunt and kill each other. If its a tie, both winning one 2 of 3 contest, its a sudden death duel in the arena. As the "host"the first party may heal 20 times with humanity only, the "invader" gets 5, to simulate the disadvantage invaders have without eustus.

You are right on the specialist point. But if you wanna join us you have to learn to use all kinds of weapons. If you don't like using halberds you'll have to rank up. I'm not giving LH Scythes to recruits, I don't feel it's right... It's almost like the militaries of medieval times, the lower ranks get the basic weapons while the royalty (knights) get the classy and shiny ones. Same as armor. I think the skills tests are good as they are.

Joe would not be happy to hear all this slander of halberds

Of course getting the LH Scythe is completely optional and once you are rank 5 you can choose any weapons of the list. I think it's the best way to incentive people to rank up, even if they don't have any interest in the rank 5 tier weapons. There should be at least 1 that they would want.

It was more to give the ranks meaning,thus providing a reason to pursue them. It would mean that to be rank 4 or 5, you'd have to be better than most everyone so we don't just end up all rank 5.

As for the weapon thing, people born into noble families got nice stuff, everyone else got crap. Its a social construct. If we're in the pw to escape it, why are we emulating it?

In this case I'm giving them the opportunity to work hard for that weapon/armor they want. Now that you said that, the fighting for high rank idea could work if we got a high concentration of rank 4s and 5s.

Your giving them the opportunity to get better stuff, unlike the nobles.
