LVL 1-15 My expereiences, before the patch stop working

[Tor]

Definitely my favorite class so far that I tested. Probably, the reason why I like this class is because, I came from flyff, where you weren't so reliant on skills. Just melee a lot of the time like this class which I like. Their speed is really fast I think compared to other classes. I also like the choice of weaponary that they can use in the early lvls. I know that as you get higher certain skill become dependent on the weapon you have equip.

I also heard from our super pro, meangirl that this class can take on 20 mobs at once. I'm using to aoeing, in flyff so, this is a big + for me.

I like using dual fists, and dual claws for the speed. Also i like the skill that lets you go 1.5x faster. OMG at lower lvls when you can't fly this is god send. Moving from place to place, searching for things is so much easier now.

So does that mean you are set on a War for your main once MY-EN is released?

[meangirl]

:shock: me no super pro :oops:

seriously, i play PW with my husband, and it amazes him how poorly i play after playing the game for so long. [tears...so sad] sometimes he'd get upset when i'm defeated by others, i don't pvp that much, but warriors always kill me so easily [more tears], i'd say it's the lags, but he's certain it's my poor gaming skills.

i'm definitely not a top player, maybe not even a decent one, and i don't know a lot of things, heh, but playing a game with the love of your life is pretty fun (well, except the dying and making him upset part) :P

[Tor]

So lucky. I wish I could get my gf to play 5 minutes. Last time she played a mmorpg with me, she played for 2 minutes, got killed, and ended getting me killed also.

[Krescen]

I know a few girls in your position (where the guy happens to consistently be a friend of mine >.>). The guy is trying to carry you along with him as he raises his reputation so that you can both be 'the best' together. Mentally, that puts you both in a group. Already, any small failure he does causes him to blame himself in some sort of way, which drives him to improve. Since you are part of this same 'entity', because he loves you and want you to raise with him, he gets upset any time you fall behind. You falling behind not only slows him down, but since he doesn't want to leave you behind he has to deal with the issue. Following the same standards (since he has paired the mentality to both characters), he reacts the same way to your mistakes as his own. Each time you mess up, he blames himself, fate, whatever could be blamed for causing your mistake, and yes, also you. You get the blame not because he is upset with you, but because he expects it will have the same effect on your as it does on himself, that you will adapt from it and learn and improve. (See Tor's comment above)

Often, the same aggressive mentality does not seem to have the same effect on girls as it does with a guy, due to chemical usage of adrenaline (girl's adrenaline is more passive). This means that it is clearly not your fault that this tactic is not working on you. You can, if you wish, find the trigger to your own inspiration to cause such a reaction (no help available there), but that is your own choice.

To all truth, you are doing perfectly fine, so long as you are not giving up at any point, regardless of mistakes or faults or failures. Devotion and knowledge are keys to such a game, and such you have demonstrated in an essence of required accuracy. This means that you are good at this game, by default.

I'll demonstrate using myself. I know on average in a typical game that my own death, PvE or PvP, is a frequent event. This is often not due to lacking strategy, proper builds, knowing what I am doing, or any lack of mentally grasping the game. Nor is it due to lack of playing skill such as tactics deployment, lack of perception, lack of communication, or absence of reflex. So why do I die? Because I'm trying too hard to do something else that I fail to do everything. Often, my priority on killing surpasses my priority on survival. Does that mean I suck? Ask the players that died before I did, or check my kill rate of monsters, they will disagree. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and if you are using your own to the best of your ability, that doesn't mean you suck.

As well, inevitably, everyone dies in pvp. If not, something is wrong (and pvp gets boring, even if you are the one who is never dieing). No one says you have to pvp either, if you aren't strong in that area, be strong in others. I'm sure there is areas and elements of the game where you can show him up.

In essence, don't let his comments put you down, they are being said with the intent on making you stronger. By saying them at all, it means you hold a lot of potential.

To the last comment, with a game this big, being 'best' is a huge expectation, but saying you are not a decent player is already incorrect. I know personally already from what I've already seen that you are perfectly decent for a player (just avoid peasant wear in the future >.- ((that's the wink))), and that you know a substantial amount. The game is too new to expect to know everything.

And remember, the words "but playing a game with the love of your life is pretty fun" is actually the most important part of the game, and many people couldn't say that for them self (such as Tor >.x?). (and me >.<)

[meangirl]

i bow to thee, Krescen :) you're a true philosopher of the human psyche.
thank you~ ^-^

[xiaoloui88]

Krescen really philosoplher = = ...

[babylon]

Krescen, that was great advice :)

[Krescen]

At times it makes me wonder about the "You can't help others before you help yourself" concept. When it comes to things like this, my advice only seems valuable when it is not for myself. >.x

Reminds me of the quote "You can always look into the eyes of another person, but to look into your own is near impossible. At best, all you get is a distorted view from a mirror, and never a true view of yourself."

That quote belongs to Runie (Shion as you know her). Dang, I miss her. >.x

yes, this is why we need other people - so they can stop and check us :)

[Krescen]

>.x Among other reasons. I hold value to teamwork quite a lot.

You know, while the topic has gone off topic, getting back to it, we see that we will be getting our next english version soon, the actual english version. Tor, are you still going to try characters, or are you going to master your preferred ones now?

[davis]

:o

[Tor]

I'll master my prefer one.

I'm currently trying other classes right now cuz I already know I won't reach lvl 49.

[Unseen]

Well, Im defo being a Human Warrior on the Open beta and official release. I just hope the chars dont get deleted after open beta.

[Krescen]

They don't, such has been already announced.

We may be moving to PW-IN though when it comes out, which is close to the same thing as a wipe. It's a fresh start.

[Unseen]

Actually, it was announced that if there was a bug/error of some sort on the server, and players have used bots etc, then the characters would suffer another wipe to make the game fair again for the official release.

This is where my hope comes in. :)
