The porcupine is by far the best defensive form available. If you had of played it longer you might of thought of some new strategies and found out why. > Well my first arbie.. my first trannie with a major form. I was pretty disappointed when I got the porcupine. Was really hoping for the mongoose and dreading the armidillo. Porcupine is awesome against those that don't know you have it really and that seems about it. Oh and Felars who won't wear a shield. > > Empire.. Well why the hell did you delete Ghaeleg? I thought you were doing pretty well. Tholden I always thought you where pretty onto it. But when you stopped at rank 40 to learn all your new skills I left you behind. > Masters. Have archons been toned down or something? > Sylvan. Damn you scared the shit out of me Hegobi. I hunted you a couple of times by myeslf before realising it was pretty futile. > Battle Damn there are lot of you about hero rank at the moment.. I think those Liches need to do some culling. > Entropy.. Never saw any of you > Oh and sorry about killing you Disola. I felt bad about that after all the help you had given us ranking. > Oh yeah Derkohm . Heh I had some fun killing all those orcs that time.. I was dirted the whole time but it was nice to see all those orcs getting toasted. If you have the log I would be interested in seeing it.
> Well I guess it kills most of the other trannie forms with ease. But I wanted an anti rager form and the porcupine just isn't suited to that. I think if I ever play another trannie it will be offensive major. Though I doubt I will ever play another trannie. I eventually perfected the controls just before I deleted. It took me 30 hours to get to rank 38. Then I stopped, perfected shapeshift, shapeshift skill.. all the control spells.. so that I just had to the controls left to master. Then I went ranking. When I got to rank 39 I had been playing for 80 odd hours.
> I just think 40-50 hours for that just SUCKED. I left it to triggers I must say. But if I had joined arbiters before that I would have deleted a long time ago. I just can't understand the reasoning for the amount of time required. Oh and I am pretty sure I must have mastered the wolf form before I started practising shape-shift. So thats my little bitching done with. It was good to see the Arbiters perspective on things for a change. I had a lot of laughs when people loose there cool and started going nutso out of character because they were stupid enough to be seen criminalizing by an Arbiter. Then of course I saw at least 3 people get flagged run out of town and get their mates to kill them to avoid losing exp or equipment. Not that I really have a problem with that.. I really don't like the idea of loosing experience with dying to special guards. But also I guess there needs to be some deterent. Anyway the reason I deleted is I prefer more action. And I love raiding too much. That raid against Entropy was interesting as I have never gone into the entropy cabal before and it took me a short while to figure it out. But yeah there where no entropy in my range so it was pretty much a walk though.
> Arbiter... I had to say all you guys where cool to interact with. It was pretty obvious I wasn't the only first time arbie in the ranks. But I did my best not to show it.
> Calarathriel (sorry for the spelling) you where always cool and I got used to that whole dear thing that bothered me with a couple of my other characters. You were always flying about getting me things cause I was too lazy to do so. Heh I have never really cared much for equipment.. I guess maybe cause when I have good gear it makes me less willing to die.
> But you role play very well. And I guess prevented a war between the Hall and the Village which I would have given half my quills to have happened.
> Jekeb Sorry I deleted.. we made a pretty good team. Well I guess a healer and most make a good team. But I think you saved my life half a dozen times. Damn that Impalement. But without you about I think I would have deleted earlier. I hope you make it to hero.. And I hope that the other arbies get to hero quick so you can actually have some fun.
> Dariantilus We had some good talks. I am glad there was another transmuter that had nothing to do. Made my life a little less boring.
> Hammon thanks for inducting me. That was the coolest interview I have ever had. You ask me two questions and I get them both wrong. And bham I am inducted. I think it is a damn good idea you allow others to learn whilst within the Cabal rather than have to know every detail about it before hand.
> Trewyn. Well the wolf got the better of you at the lower ranks.. So I was happy. By the time you got to Hero I was getting my ass handed to me every time. I haved played a felar spear spec in battle before so It was interesting to see impalement from the other side.
> If it wasn't for the tortoise form I would have died a heck of a lot more to impalment.. I never had any money. Oh and Jekeb running in to heal me once I became incapicated from the bleeding.
> Hyswahr.. I have no idea how to spell your name. You were the only other rager I ever fought.. apart from Avargus that time. I respected you more than the rest of he village maybe because you weren't a big law breaker. That time you and Trewyn killed me just inside of dwarf I was really pissed off. But I just put it down to a misunderstanding on your guys part as I always used to get fed up with people crying about rager gang banging all the time. But you where 'DEVESTATING' me with your claws through stoneskin on your normal hits. So that is why I full looted you when I killed you on eastern. Then gave it all to a younger arbie so you couldn't get it back. I felt bad about that after I must say. But I wasn't about to repent or nothing. My policy was not to return anything from any of Arbiters enemies.. But Calathariel sorted that one out.
> Dawn.. Never interacted with any of you.
> Troupe.. Ditto.
