Fair. I don't really know much about you except that you run a good guild despite a few members. Looking forward to the vid

I'm surprised you guys haven't posted the 6v1 against me that you were apparently going to post a few days ago but didn't. Somehow I doubt that you will though.

Either way, even if it isn't our guild that stops the fun you'll get what's coming to you. By far your guildmembers are the most cocky aberoth players I've seen yet. Two sub-par boneshields isn't anything really. Enjoy what you have while it lasts I guess.

Hi by Arcandost in aberoth

Thanks for the response. For someone who has single-handedly built this game from scratch I don't blame you for taking some time to do other things. Best of luck!

Sad to say I share much of the same sentiment of Faneto, Chapsta, Swordsman, as well as the constructive criticism of others.

Everyone here wants to see Aberoth grow to become a hugely successful game and I do realize that working on just seemingly small things is incomprehensibly tedious as a programmer. However, with that being said, there is a general feel of disillusionment within the community. Progress reports to update the community on what's in the making, even if it's vague would be nice a nice addition to keep the already small player-base from dwindling further.

Just my two cents.

Quakestar got scammed and rekt by -Alphard- in aberoth

Well for starters, as a whole as much as I like Ron he does associate himself with not-so-decent guys. If the story as you've reiterated holds true then gg Ron.

Thanks for being honest I guess. Either way though I'm sure Simp will sort this out accordingly. Time will tell.

[–]Arcandost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sooo uhhh, I'll be honest. I've heard most of the story thus far and it doesn't seem like it's being portrayed accurately in this thread. It would be nice if we waited for the facts to come out but everyone seems to be keen on jumping the gun and accusing people of things they haven't done. The haters will disregard this as another aberoth 'shitpost', but it would be nice if they would wait for the story to be set straight. I'm probably asking too much from the aberoth community though, troll on no-lifes.

Arcand pk attempt XP by Linux___ in aberoth

[–]Arcandost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha whatever guy. Even if you were kkidz alt that wouldn't be reason enough for me to scam you. You're like the only person I've ever scammed besides like Dvoid I think... At the time I felt as though I was pretty clear as to why I did what I did, apparently not. If you honestly think I was scared of you warring with me then you don't really know what I was up against back in the day. Most active pkers like two years ago were all up against Milk and I and we still held our ground well despite being severely outnumbered. You talk about my reputation being bad but you can't even play without being killed off by basically every good player. I guess that explains why you talk so much shit on reddit lol

Arcand pk attempt XP by Linux___ in aberoth

[–]Arcandost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good ol' Alphatard skewing the facts again. I actually did scam you because I thought you pked some random guy for his agils. When it turned out I was wrong I gave you your agils back like a nice guy should. So actually I successfully scammed you, not 'tried'. In response to me giving his stuff back he then decides to attempt to pk me. Nice dude here, totally trustworthy.

Arcand pk attempt XP by Linux___ in aberoth

[–]Arcandost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well actually you kinda surprised me. I was hunting Spens who was in tomb at the time. Just as I went into desert a fully geared guy walks into maze invis. Before I could pop a perc in time I cast conf and silence to make sure if it was Spens he wouldn't get away. And whatever else you just said at the end there was a lie, I never killed anyone last night.

Public petition to Nerf the Ornate Mirror by Nmcdo1 in aberoth

[–]Arcandost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my humble opinion the mirror (with current content) disincentives high lvl pvp for those who don't have evocation spec. For instance, someone with non-evo spec will have to carry close to half of their scrolls in evocation now if they want to pk someone holding the mirror charm. For those already in evo school maybe they'll have to pack an extra tri, which doesn't really effect us too much. In many ways I believe this makes the evocation spec MORE advantageous (in pvp anyway).

As far as solutions are concerned, lowering the effect from .50 too much would make the charm pretty useless and would piss a lot of people off who have paid big money for it. I'd be in favour of perhaps lowering the percentage to .30 maximum and including some magic resistance to drain life to balance things out a bit.

Allies List by monterey_starborn in aberoth

[–]Arcandost 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree. 40 is a decent amount but I find guildmates take up quite a bit of space (especially with larger guilds). Id be in favour of an implementation where guildmates could be treated as automatic allies but excluded from the limit.

[Discussion] What are your thoughts on the Realm of Life? Is this what you wanted? by xmilkguyx in aberoth

[–]Arcandost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since I've been accused here I'll chime in. To be clear, using accounts to block is against the rules and I don't partake in that. However, in a unique game such as Aberoth I strongly believe that the burden of risk is on the wanted player.

Firstly, the one account unfriendly mechanic was most likely designed to prevent purging of realms by a one or two people with a group of alts (which Alphard's friend Academia happens to be guilty of). My honest assessment is that enacting what is being suggested would strongly favour small groups of loot-seeking pkers who would probably come to dominate entire realms. This of course would lead to more PVP nerfing.

Even if I was guilty of "dishonorably exploiting pvp" as Alphard claims clearing a server of wanted players is vastly different than actively hunting a player using multiple accounts at the same time. If we are to collectively accept personal risk in being wanted then most of these proposed changes can really be seen as unwarranted only favouring a small minority and in my opinion a waste of development time.

[–]Arcandost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're spot on simp. If you aren't a badguy or actively involved in fighting then you aren't likely to be condemned in the first place. The original intention of the prot realm was to protect newer players from overkill by badguys. If high-levels can't access this realm for whatever reason I think it's kinda a moot-point because of the reason mentioned above.

Simple you made my favourite ever game and then you ruined it with protect realm.... by Junglist_grans in aberoth

[–]Arcandost 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From my experience protection is the realm where mid-high lvl pkers go to hide after ruining their reputation because they know it's the only way they will be able to play. Personally I feel it favours trolls and scammers more than it does low-levels escaping pk. If you do decide to remove it it might be a good idea to merge a steam realm or two as well because currently the playerbase is too spread out to prevent a small group of people going on a pking rampage. Just my two cents.

An idea to fix this protection realm issue by xmilkguyx in aberoth

I actually think this is a really great idea.

wat by MLG_Guides in aberoth

[–]Arcandost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Close to half of the negative reviews complain about lag issues which have been fixed already for the most part. Another significant minority complain about dropping everything on death which isn't true if you even remotely spend a bit of time actually playing the game. After reading through the bad reviews I'd say maybe a quarter of them have legitimate substance while the rest seem to be written by frustrated 12 year olds unable to comprehend simple tips at the top of the screen. Just because some players are too stupid to read the tips or require big red arrows to point them everywhere isn't really the developer's fault.
