This post is god awful and was made and liked by people who refuse to play anymore.
How is a bad post, my play status, and the play status of those who liked the post related? Also, "refuse" makes it sound like I am on some boycotting quest--not that case at all. Is it so god awful you cant rebutt any of the points I tried to make?
I will reiterate, perhaps this time you can respond intelligently.
- with all the talk of cheats, how long until you start realizing that cheaters arent going anywhere? They will use the easier methods that are legally available to them... BUT fortunately cheating in UO isnt unbeatable, this isnt wallhack/ESP or headshot aimbot with a high DPS weapon... its doing what humans can and do do...the problem isnt cheats, because, again, cheats can be beaten in a game like UO where cheating is a program emulating what humans can do. the fact is, the UO skill ceiling for healing just isnt that high... go play a game like starcraft and understand what real gaming skill is.
- the mindset is the issue: instead of complaining like a child, why not do what anyone who has ever been good at this game has done (NO I DONT INCLUDE MYSELF IN THAT GROUP): skill up and laugh at cheating idiots.
onto sallos and why it's more conducive to skilled play (more points you never addressed):
1) you can see all spells being casted (this, to me is a higher skill game, as you dont have to guess where the ebolts or lightnings fall...)
2) quicker/more responsive cast times
3) better targeting -- allows caller to be quicker and thus allows a small group to beat a large group via lame running tactics (its okay to be lame when outnumbered)
Is that quote saying that you had programs that autohealed? I'm just curious if it's a typo or not.
I will go ahead and re-quote, perhaps you can answer the question yourself (even though this looks like medium grade troll):
the fact is that cheating is a pretty silly thing to complain about. There is no invulnerability mode in UO. you just can have a program that plays better for you (i.e. hits a heal at the right timing) this isnt an impossible task at all... just take a look at any good pvper who consistently heals dumps caus we have been playing this game for 15 years. if you cant fathom the idea of hitting a heal properly (at the right time, in what is basically 1 one second window) after so many hours played well.... haha i guess we know why you are so addicted to UO instead of being successful IRL.
Where do you see an admission that I used autoheal? Not sure who you think I am but anyone who has ever fielded against me knows I am not good enough to be accused of auto heal, lol...
Bottom line is no one gives a fuck that you think these absolute zerg squads were dominance and no one cares that you aren't here to PvP.
Seems like you misunderstood--I dont think zergs are dominance (quite the opposite, I am a huge advocate for fighting 3v7--something I find to be too cumbersome on razor)--are you projecting other peoples complaints on me randomly? Nor am I disillusioned with the idea that I am some sort of celebrity or that the community would be impacted in the slightest by my absence (odd that you assume this, as I dont say it anywhere at all... I think you are confusing me with some of the other forum warriors). My point was more that Sallos made game play more about fighting people instead of battling your client.
How would you know what PvP quality is? It's gone up severely, I hate Tet and his guild but I would much rather fight a tight nit group of 4 every day like them who may or may not be the best of all time.
Bit of a contradiction there... PVP quality is up, but Tet is the best current competiton, and he isnt the best (as per your admission). Also, if you recall, Tet used to be captain gank, wonder why he is just a tight nit group of 4 now. doesnt have anything to do with less pvp right?
But you're right, I dont know first hand about the level of pvp, it was more a question (notice the question mark? in english, and many other languages it indicates a question). I do, however know the play level and mindset that a player like Tet has (been playing against his must-have-numbers/run-hide/only-take-fights-he-can-win bullshit for about 5 years) and thats really my whole point.
Sorry, there's no threads being made in your name begging you guys to come back or asking where you went. You're all dinosaurs, all we have are your fossils on the forums to remember you by.
very unfortunate that what I wrote came off as a cry for recognition... Who is you guys? You seem to think there is some widespread conspiracy, I wrote the post as an individual, I cant help who clicks "like". Is it so hard to believe that some people dont care about hybrid status anymore? I was more just writing in defense of a very solid, skill added program: sallos, and more importantly, how all your complaints about cheaters wont solve anything as sallos was actually a lot harder to cheat on than what everyone is now forced to use. You sound like a pro-life/anti-homosexual advocate--why are you trying to control others? My whole point is, if people want to cheat they will. Dont be so concerned with what others are doing, and instead ask how you can improve to beat them--that's having a positive attitude, which is what this shard needs. Anyway I am sure this level of provocative thought will just lead you to anger and insults, instead of discussion. have a wonderful evening.
just as a final thought: I fully support the removal of the often complained about sallos features such as cutoff maps and cheats--What I appreciated in the client was the consistency, not the abusive aspects...
