So I'm trying again today, even though this was relevant yesterday. I haven't changed anything I wrote yesterday as a sort of "tip my hat" to honesty and how I really felt, rather than now having a night to think about it. And yes, Diarmuid, I am giving Agorinth a bit of a compliment in this post... he deserved if after the odds he came for the Codex against, even if he DID know that all his powers would still work. Although I still get really irked when I think about how easily I could have avoided dying had my link actually been working. I know there were a few others with similar problems, and I have since changed ISP's (yes, it was that bad) to see if it improves any. Ah well, here's to hoping...

Ever have one of those goddamned days where it seems like your enemy (Empire,

whoever) is somehow sitting on the damn Internet blocking your damn packets of
data? I fought the Imperials all day today, and each damned time I would start
an attack I would freeze up. I wouldn't disconnect, just freeze up. I could
unplug my PC, yank the phone line out of the wall, and the damned mud still
considered me "online". Well, that's two deaths for me today where I didn't
even know I was dying until five minutes of me dying flashed by at the pit. I'm
beginning to suspect Immortal conspiracy. I think Agorinth's dispel magic has a
"lag poor fucking sod of a victim" effect that we just don't know about, and
since it goes away when I die... that's why I can move again when I hit the pit.
;) Okay, not really.
times, and both times we would have either won or at least not died. There's no
way in HELL a nightgaunt can kill a Master Offense form even if all he does is
shift, and there's no way I would have just sat there on the Western Battlements
waiting for Agorinth and company to come along and attack me. Without attacking
first, that is. ;)
Imperials kept logging in and seeing me and Kilgaren, and then quitting within a
couple minutes. I won't say who did it, but five different Imperials. And
then, poof, Agorinth shows up and apparently their links all get better and

I hadn't gotten that first halt off you probably would have either gotten one of
us, or at least gotten away. I know some boob here on the forum made an
insulting remark about transmuters that halt... Well, fuck off. That's like
making insulting remarks to thieves for backstabbing, or paladins for using
sanctuary and wrath, or.. hey... Agorinth dispelled all my shields. I think
he's a clueless wanker that has no grasp of tactics. See? Doesn't make any
sense to ride on someone for using an extremely effective tactic.

ragged on Agorinth for dying in the game, calling him a weakling. See, this
would have been one of them "bad-ass" things to say that I keep hearing about,
had I not died :P But here, nah.... if you're halted, slowed, softened, with a
staff/spear spec tanking you, and an invoker beating on you AND you lived as
long as you did... well, stop scaring me. I'll need to sleep, sometime.
