When you play Ultima Online and you win at something, do you feel proud? I know I do.
Then we make it into more tricky. You win against someone alone. Does that make you proud? For me it does.
When you win against someone 3 vs 3? Does that make you proud? Oh yes it does make me proud.
When it turns into 7-8 vs 3 (you being the 7-8 ) and you win, does that make you proud? It doesnt make me proud, it is a kill and screenshot will be taken, but it was a kill with big numbers around it, just a kill.
Nothing to brag about really.
Also before you think or say anything, I wanna point out that it still counts when you meet these players in a group first and they get killed one by one.
For example:
Group A and Group B, both have 5 members each, Group A splits up so Group B gets to kill 3 of these 5 vs 1, because Group A's members kept running around like headless chickens. I look at it that it counts. Why run away from "arena"? If you run, you will get hunted down, just normal.
And talk about people "Kael'Mar" "Thain" etc. etc. these are people I only seen in AoS, Thain I remember from being in Jerry's group if I remember right? The one of first persons with 5/9?
Kael'mar is a friendly person, used to run around fighting with him when was a while in DiE.
There is loads of names from Pacific / Europa I can throw out that you would heard of if you did actually pvp in old days. But like myself I learned we live in new days, where is "Winning at all costs" toughts around.
And now I been babbeling really much, but I guess there is some good points in the text.
Play UO for fun, challange yourself more, dont let it get too easy.
In 1 v 1 I dont care, Ive never been a great duelist, over average yes, but never of the best.
8 v 3, dont take any pride in that at all, even when we killed you guys yesterday I said in vent when someone said wow we should do this all day and make lots of gold, "Yes cause sharing the gold from 2 persons on 15 is really gonna make us rich"
3 v 3, or smallscale teamplay is where I take pride, not duels, duels means shit, but small scale pvp is the most challenging envirnoment you can have, I dont care what anyone say about my or .aVa`s ego, the ego trip were on now is because you come to this shard stroking your epeens posting ONLY from one side of the battle, most of those who know me, or .aVa for that matter knows that 99% of the time, when we kill someone we shut the fuck up to respect the person who actually took the time to go to fell to try it out and fight, but when you come to this shard and you fucking diss everyone you can, posting screenshots all over the place how you own people who barely go into fell in certain cases, it pisses me off.
Im not here to defend PVP! or for that matter .aVa, you may think of us as you want, but you OWE it to the people who actually try to go to fell and fight you a certain degree of respect,
Drachs are a small shard, it dont need to loose even more players because you shittalk everyone and their mom on your pic threads.
To the other posts:
Squall, I wasnt in Havok at that time, had quit for the time beeing.
My name on Europa was Nagash.
and to Angus, My staff necro was a blantantly overpowered template I used, could kill anything with it, no skill to it, never been a good duelist, but as I said further up, I pride myself in teamwork not in 1 on 1 since that doesnt mean anything anymore.
Also, nothing about our ego have changed, were still nice guys, but as I also said further up, I dont like new guys (on drachs)coming in showing off their epeens posting only screenshots where they were either ganked 4 to 1 or ganking someone 4 to 1 calling it skills.
Also at the time we joined the PVP! alliance, HHW/CHG/NfT/Dw|m amongs others were one big alliance, also DEV/47 alliance were around, it was only me, soul and kozz, 3 vs 10+ is ok, 3 vs 20-25+ in every occurance is too much, HHW alliance got destroyed in the war though, about 50% split and remade Nft, the rest stayed and some joined other guilds alltogether, the picture when you came to this shard, was much different from what it was when we came back about 1,5 months before you guys. Yes we could still get the kills, but we couldnt raid shit because there were 20+ people coming in as soon as we had taken over a spawn for instance.
The only ones me, soul and kozz have a problem with on this server is you guys, you might be nice, but you rub everyone the wrong way when you act as you do.
Anyways, im quite finished with this, so what about you guys stop the shittalk and ill stop the shittalk as well. Cant bother coming in here every couple hours to reply to several posts.
To whoever I forgot to reply to, im sorry, ill skim(m?) through it again and see if theres something I missed
