[OOC] Arena FAQ/Advice

[Bartimaeus]

Pretty much he is not strong, cannot take hits, his magical attacks are very weak unless casted through an ally, then they are strong, he is above average speed(unless underground then he is very fast), so he basically needs an outlet to fight through wether it be his ally or an enemy summons he takes over, etc.

[Skallagrim]

Sounds like Skallagrim.

@Rilla

@Bartimaeus

I noticed. It will be stored within my memory for an eternity now.

[Bartimaeus]

Nuuu. Wait. How much do you think id have to pay you to take a slice of your brain?

[Skallagrim]

Vordak is a machine. No biological parts.

[Bartimaeus]

Oh. Emp Grenade out!

[Skallagrim]

@Bartimaeus To get serious about your character idea. I don't really know how many team fights you'll get into. Without having some kind of offense or defense if you do manage a team fight, you will have to face off against someone or no matter how much healing you think you can do, it won't stop a beat down of your teammate, ultimately leaving you to fight at least one person. Without offense or defense you become an easy kill and points.

[Bartimaeus]

He has high offense, it is just mainly indirect. He will have a few tricks up his..uh..tentacle?

[Crazy Scion]

OK I will take a shot at it. If my lurking in the background hasn't yet been noticed. I have, for a little while now, been thinking about roleplaying again. Though I am a bit out of practice due to being away for so long. So, seeing that this is the legitimate advice thread and I want to learn. I have decided to post here to see if I can potentially get a recap of some of the basics of the arena role play world. It is honestly still my favorite part of the guild to visit. This is despite the fact my character was never really suited for combat. I still structure his CS with combat in mind.

To help things along I am not completely behind on everything. For the past few days I have been reading through some of the threads to see what has been going on. So I am aware of the ranking system as well as the ongoing tournament. I am also aware of the mentoring for Bartimaeus as well the sparring match that is being coordinated in the arena chat thread with Important Nobody and Vordak. I am a little behind in reading up on the battles. I've had a head ache that has persisted for the past five days now that has been making it difficult to read. I am also trying to pace myself to prevent another burnout. I seriously over loaded myself last time and couldn't even look at roleplay for months, let alone consider returning. However, I am active now, and am trying to capitalize on my motivated state while it lasts. I am posting this as I am on the verge of sleep, but I guess this is so I can give it plenty of time to get a response while I'm at work tomorrow. Also, wow this post got long fast. I really need to watch the rambling.

[Skallagrim]

Welcome back. We are doing ranked fights for a title. We are doing tourneys and working on establishing persistent story lines for those who want continuity for their characters.

Are there currently any criteria for judging a characters power level or has that been just been put down to the judgment of the opponent? To clarify I am taking about the Normal, Normal-Powered, Powered, and High-Powered qualifications. I am having some difficulty deciding what qualifies for each level as it seems to be quite broad.

@Crazy Scion

Mostly it is left for the opponent to judge.

[Bartimaeus]

Scion? Do you happen to be a fan of League of Legends?

[Crazy Scion]

@BartimaeusI happen to know some things about the game, but have never actually played it myself.

[Bartimaeus]

:O What a shame. I ask because your name is one of the names of a character in the game.

[Crazy Scion]

@BartimaeusI am a fan of many different things and would even possibly be a LoL fan if it wasn't for the fact my labtop can't handle video games very well. I can barely play a game like robocraft on low graphic settings if that is any indicator.
