An OOC proposition

[Sannil Sandal]

I am curious why DS isn't coming on saying this stuff to rig or byrgg or others when they get frustrated dying to a vulture fc or whatever. Sometimes due to frustration people say stupid stuff, but it's interesting who gets told to stop being a whiny very fine person, gender being but a construct of society and who gets "oh sorry this happened to you".

Because everyone who was playing DS 15 years ago still thinks it's the harder side, when it's been easy mode for at least the last decade. It's kind of like Christians in America believe they are a persecuted minority, or white people thinking they experience the most discrimination of anyone!

Anyway, even the people talking a big game on here don't have consistent behavior when it comes to dropping gear - which is totally fine. Gear's more likely to get dropped when it's low numbers and common gear. Or when the person looting is in dodge or combo and doesn't want to get weighed down. Stuff gets kept in big numbers PK because it's harder to keep track of who needs what, so you keep everything until you're inside and can handle a split properly. DS always keeps dodge to re-gear Jestin, and LS always keeps amber hilted swords to re-gear Shayl.

Who other than Razhak is still saying DS is the hard side, the only thing hard about DS these days is getting more than 5 people online and unafk at once.

Yep some merciless taunting by jaster sannil and zangief there.

Being 1 shot by a sneaking fc in crit v crit pk is vastly different to being run down into the ground because you weren't quick enough to get away from a group at half hps.

However, that said if you need me to tell you "its ok, it'll be alright" on a future post I shall do that for you if it helps you feel better.

Thats not exactly what happened, but glad you back your boys.


@Binito Thinking about it I'm gonna assume it's more rig is closer to them and also has proved himself a good and worthwhile player while I am not there yet, so I guess that gives him a bit of credibility when he gets frustrated wheras I haven't built that yet. I'd prefer to think that is the case so I will go with that.

Friend, everyone is allowed to rage. I get a fair amount of shittalk for my rages, most of it is just kept off forum. You are just as credible a player as I or anyone else.

[Musashi]

I know you do, though I feel dung between friends is not quite what I was experiencing here. It is what it is though, it's not like they're wrong when they talk about just taking responsibility.

[Kryyg]

You are my friend now Mushu.

[Razhak]

When Kryyg calls you a friend, he actually means prey.

beware!

To me, what you're saying at the end is the same type of thinking, though. 5 people is enough to get things done on DS and to be competitive against greater numbers. All the northern PK zones were designed under the assumption that DS would be fighting against greater numbers most of the time - which is a problem when numbers are often even.

Im not quite sure why to draw an analogy of your opinion that “Christians” in America feel most persecuted or white people thinking they experience the most discrimination of anyone makes sense here. It’s kind of asinine to bring that into this debate. This was a simple minded debate on isabels idea to have lootless pk except for his perception of myself and razhak being involved. I think your second half of the post was most credible and a contributing factor to the post.

I meant numbers across the game in a general sense, not directly related to pk in any way. Thanks for the lesson on darkside logistics though.
