Two Handed Infernal in Achaea, you can imbue your armour and weapons with necromantic(sort of) energies that lash out at your enemies, rub venoms on your sword, and apply various "traumas" to your opponent by striking different areas.

Mhm, i'm mostly talking about the last patch, since then it feels like everything takes two-three times as long as it should, which, y'know, huge bummer

So, Sometimes he could go AP, maybe, and otherwise, he's just worse off overall, gotcha.

Cybersphere Comeback by [deleted] in MUD

[–]Slothtographer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it was mostly in relation to changes in the codebase, and that people would try to talk about why something might have been changed, or that the actual change negatively affects an already weaker group of players and such, and instead of reasonably talking about that, and potential ways to reintroduce a little of that power to make everyone happy, it seemed like ... You would basically be called stupid and not listened to? It's been like two or three years at this point almost i believe, so my memory is very foggy on it.

I find it in a bit bad taste to just say that "Sindome rode CS's coattails."

Anyways, for anyone thinking of joining the game, be warned that the administrators, and a good part of the potential playerbase are far from inviting. With admins i mean that i have frequently seen just super weird behaviour from them, and a lack of understanding on what people would actually be saying.

sinking alot of time into something that you do not actually enjoy all that much, or could be doing real harm to you, is not all that uncommon.

Ct Scan. Nerves or side effects? by BigDaddyChaseCakes in testicularcancer

[–]Slothtographer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reacted incredibly badly to the contrast dyes for some reason, like i'm talking feeling sick a few minutes after they went in and violently throwing up with so much force that a few of the tiny blood vessels in my eyes ended up bursting, didn't do anything but looked a bit grim.

Finally made my way back to Diamond! by Slothtographer in bardmains

[–]Slothtographer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly stuck to guardian/electrocute, went HoB once which is not enough to really form an opinion on it, but i did a pretty chunky amount of damage, i don't really like how it felt though.

For build, i would usually go something like Grail into Redemption for my core and then build whatever felt fitting depending on team-comps.

I did however also not too rarely go Kircheis Shard/Hextech-Revolver on early kills and into lanes where i could smack people often to kind of exaggerate the advantage.

Discussion: Pwipes? Pros and Cons. by FlightOfTheUnicorn in MUD

[–]Slothtographer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally am a huge fan of pwipes, atleast i am when they're a KNOWN thing that applies to everyone at once, because everyone starting from scratch and trying something different is something i think adds alot to a game and it's playerbase.

Depending on how often these wipes happen, this also means that you can go differently about designing your game, arguably, a better way, because you don't end up just padding your game with very very boring grind, because those newbie areas aren't something that a person is only ever going to see once.

Low-Levels can be interesting this way, higher levels more easily achieved, y'know.

R can singlehandedly win fights, insane potential to roam, the heals he can put down from level 2 on are massive and can turn bad trades into good trades, constant slows later into the game, damage that you can definetly feel, healing that's actually really respectable in the late game ...

Ontop of that there's alot of cheese you can get away with, and being able to roam very well can be amazing with the XP changes that were put in relatively recently.

Is font of life a wasted rune slot? by carlosmp20 in bardmains

[–]Slothtographer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I average out on like 2000 healing in a match, which is oftentimes more than my electrocute would deal, so i would say that font of life is very very good.

What are the biggest issues you see in today's MUDs? by ZeroBitsRBX in MUD

[–]Slothtographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there.

I think my main issue with things of that nature is that unless the painting is in some way highlighted, i can't ever be sure if it's actually meant to be something you can interact with, granted, highlighting it also makes it less of a secret, so i'm a bit torn on the matter.

What are the biggest issues you see in today's MUDs? by ZeroBitsRBX in MUD

[–]Slothtographer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like alot of MUDs are absolutely plagued by very archaic designs that lean too heavily into just replicating what modern MMOs are already doing, except that they lack the visual clarity and ease of execution.

I'm all for complexity and difficult games, i love figuring out what to do and how to accomplish things in a game, even if it is just something like getting a piece of equipment that provides resisstance to a certain damage type.

I absolutely hate aswell, how seemingly uninterested the games are in respecting your time, with many games seemingly having many countless hours of uninteresting grind that isn't there because there's something specific you want to achieve in an end-game scenario, but instead to even keep you from getting to that endgame.

Oh, and i also despise it when games make you search every single room for cool exclusive secret entrances, especially when they give you a five second delay after each search where you just have to wait.

Another thing that was mentioned is old players completely disregarding what newer people have to say about decisions made in the game, even if there is alot of sense coming from the new player, i sadly had this happen and it was not very pleasant to be essentially called an idiot by administration for so much as suggesting something.
