The Fall of Al'khazar

[Aryon 679]

We shall not let the Undead win! We are far too strong! I hope we can hold Galahar if they ever attack, but, knowing our brave men, hopefully we can survive. About making a whole new capitol? I do not know. We could make Galahar our new permanent capitol, and upgrade it. I honestly do not know. This blow has been a mighty one.

-OOC-

As for the Undead power-gaming, I completely agree. They spam lightning, no-rp kill about 10 people each, then complain when they get killed. They made Al'khazar ridiculous, like, honestly, great job taking away all those items of people who lived there!

Signed, Aryon

((damn damn damn!! My ender pearl collection is in my basement of my tavern! I can't get within 100 blocks of that place without dying! The gm's seriously

Need to allow us a window to get our things before getting out of Dodge! ))

((...the Hell? Good thing I read the forums. Would have been bad , not knowing this happened and just walk there like every day. What about Soulstones? Have they been set to somewhere else?))

[mylimo7 409]

((no they havent, so if you soul to Al'khazar you die instantly))

I heard Prince Mylas perished is this true?

[DecoLamb 959]

Poor dears.. Ive heard a few things on my travels, and they seem to be true.. My stock is dangerously low thanks to that damned war, but Ill send some of the catch from my next hunt your way. I also offer whatever I can to help the humans, I share human blood from my mother's side, and despite her great hate for Oren, I do not think she would want to watch anyone starve.

I'm going to gather medicinal herbs for any wounded as well, if there is anything I can offer to assist the refugees, do not be afraid to ask.

((I was Recently Preaching at Winterfell and wanted to share my somewhat speech here))

Friends, For to long have the undead threatened us and these times, is one of the darkest. I have dealt with these heartless freaks for quite a while, from the age of 11 They killed me parents...Making me have a shroud of darkness and nightmares, then they do countless acts of Ibless, Well All I say is that we shove all of that in there face. They took out the last sage the other days so I heard, I'm sick of it. They took Al'khazer today. Many lives lost, and so happened maybe our kings. This war going on, The orcs and dwarfs. Put down your differences everyone of aegis. Band together, we now have the UAC Back, Tough times are ahead but if we just so happen to stick together, And drive the bastards back to the cold nether we could just so win this! So people of Winterfell, People of the destructed Oren, People of Aegis! Band with me, Band with Every race to finish off what these disgraces have started!

[Aerinyes 402]

Though we have had our differences in the past, the Princedom of Malinor sends our condolences to the Sons and Daughters of Horen. I have been advised by the High Princess that any refugees from this will be welcome in the Holy Princedom. We only ask that said refugees conduct themselves as guests and treat everyone else with due respect.

Humans are such remarkable creatures. In such a short lifetime they amount to many and great things. Continue to do this. Rebuild and enact the due Justice my friends.

((why can't undead grow a pair and plan their own events, instead of having gms write their scripted event for them. We can reach them now... Ender pearls :3

((This was planned by the Ascended, Undead, and Enor, but events like this must be consulted with the GMs. We can't just show up and attack Al'khazar without a notice, as with 1.0, the Undead Fireballs no longer work, and we can't really "corrupt" a place by ourselves, such as spreading Netherrack and Soulsand. As that'd require us to have permissions to most of Aegis' main regions.

there is almost no rp in the beginning of the battles we are always right in the middle city defending no key locations, battles should start with the undead breaching the front gates or walls ))

The beginning of the battle was roleplayed, and we moved as strategically through as we could, we snuck in from the North gate, before any lightning had been cast, there was a group of twenty people sitting in the military district yelling "I'm ready to fight." So we moved around from there and made our way to the keep, but somehow, those people knew that Undead were attacking, and there was even more people waiting for us there. Believe me, if we could start at the gates, break through, and move our way to the keep like you want, we would. If a person with a stone sword is even ground with an Undead, he just has to run till he's within fifteen blocks, and the Undead's gone, as Undead have no melee, or self-defense, An Undead can only have one staff on his hotbar, and if he uses it up, has to open his inventory and grab another one. Which is more then enough time to kill an Undead (with any weapon), If certain conditions are met, an Undead can be one-shot with a Diamond sword from full health, (A GM and an Undead tested it), Undead do have Magic, but it's only effective if they're on higher ground during that battle, Undead had Lightning and mobs during Al'khazar's takeover, after the crash, we were limited to around two summons of mobs per undead, as that's what crashed the Server and caused the rollback. If a person is within 15 blocks of an Undead, the Undead has no defense. With Sprint, it is fairly easy to run past monsters, as there's currently some mob lag, they can't use Lightning, as it will hit themselves too (Unless they're on higher ground), so if they go at the front gate, they will probably die within the first thirty seconds.

I agree, the undead powergame their victory. You can not just hold up in the highest part of the city with regions still on and just teleport away when things do not go your way. Yes i am talking about the undead that were in the throne room when the king of Alras fell.

If the (Real life leader) was trapped in the (Reallife place of importance) office, a person was holding a gun to his head, and there was Bullet proof glass between the exit and the whatever people were trying to save him, would they try to break in through the glass, and risk the Leader being killed? And in this instance, the King of Oren was trapped in the throne room with the two most evil people in Aegis, one of which had just murdered the Ascended Sage, and mortally wounded the other, who was the only other person in the room, and there was a closed gate between the Guards and the King. Would you break the gate down and risk him being killed? If the Region wasn't there, people would break through the gate with their fist. No one there had an axe, no one there got an axe, no one there emoted to try to break through the gate, in a real situation, a gate couldn't be broken in two seconds, and if they did, they would probably lose their King. In a hostage situations, people take the hostage to give themselves time, and the (Crime stopping force) wouldn't run in immediately to attempt stop the most two most evil persons from shooting the (real life leader), as he would probably get shot if they started whamming at the glass with a hammer. They'd plan, get a course of action, then go from there.

In the last 2 months I have not seen a single undead rp in a battle. They just spam lightning and mobs and post no rp kill ban reports

Every battle I've been in I have roleplayed,

Lightning cannot be spammed, if someone's hit with lightning, only that strike can damage them for three seconds, no other lightning will have an effect until that strike ends. Mobs can't be "spammed." A person can summon three things of mobs before he has to open his inventory and get another staff, two if he has used a different spell. Mobs are highly ineffective whenever there's 200+ people online, and a person can usually run past them unless it's a severely small corridor.

I have not posted any ban reports, as I try to solve issues with the player In-game, and if they continue with the issue after I have asked and explained it to them, then I will do it, but if an Undead did, it is the GM's responsibility to decide the outcome of that report. Which reports have nothing to do with any of this.

As for the Undead power-gaming, I completely agree. They spam lightning, no-rp kill about 10 people each, then complain when they get killed. They made Al'khazar ridiculous, like, honestly, great job taking away all those items of people who lived there!

In real-life, would a person who planned to take over America only attack a places where people have nothing? No, they would attack areas that would make the biggest impact. I already explained that Lightning cannot be spammed, as doing that will just waste the staff before it can do more damage, and if an Undead No-RP kills ten people, the ten people should formulate a proper ban report against the Undead in question, and what powergaming?

((And an undead once no-rp fireballed me because I just happen to be on the same road as he was. Like, wtf?

If someone does this, please screenshot and immediately report this to me, I have been warning people doing this type of behavior, and taking action to those who do it after that warning.

Sincerely,

-Allen

Also, It's 1:00 AM, so I will respond to anymore questions/statements I missed tomorrow. ))

((and I told huron to close the gate -_- then you guys

pour through the crowd, but u guys were impossible to reach by foot when you were ontop of the the towers, we said you powergamed the undead victory by causing the portal to open, warriors couldn't do crap about it, they were forced to leave because they were bot able to do anything with the portal. Another example was when you guys turned on debuff in Al'khazar, there was NO way we could of prevented that from happening. So about like 50 people died due to the powergame of undead))

Well the thing that angers me is that while I am enjoying slaying tons of zombies I die from lava being spawned everywhere. Is lava randomy generating in places RP? I hope not. I also do not like how we couldn't even determine the outcome. This is mostly the Gms fault. I don't like it how no matter what, they are still going to put lava and soul sand everywhere and we didn't even have a choice. It is impossible to kill people on the highest buildings and when you get close your killed with lighting. Not fun.... Now I'm not blaming undead for some of these problems but I hate it when I know that I am going to die no matter what and the city is goIng to fall no matter what. It's just not RP at all. It's just people having fun killing people. I would play a PVP serve if I liked that.

((ok so Ive been offline for 2 weeks and I'm finally allowed to get on today, but the problem is I was in Al'khazar last....can a gm help me by like tping me out of the city?))

(So since alk'hazar has fallen, and Enor missing and Felix missing, Oren will be needing a acting leader intill enor comes back if he ever does. This acting leader will lead Oren into victory.

The following nominees Hawk whitestorm, Oren_Captain Huron, and throdo.

Think who would be best, think who has done many great things. Choose wisely.

((As the battle started, the Prophet and Overlord started conjuring and corrupting the nearby area. Each area that was corrupted I personally went to, I moved from the Keep, to the Military District, to the church, and staying at each area until the corruption was complete. The battle had gone on for nearly three hours, before I went to the church and summoned a portal, while the Prophet created another one near the square.))

The most powerful can summon cities, such as Drauchriem. Also, due to their residence in the Nether, they've learned to better control fire and manipulate heat, but not to the point of immunity. Finally, the Undead were given by Iblees the ability to corrupt the land around, spreading lava they conjure from the Nether, they can slowly change the surrounding areas into netherrack and soulsand, bringing the hellish bringing the hellish taint from their world into Aegis.

((But do people want Undead to walk in, and die within thirty seconds, and the event then be over, or head to the highest buildings and have a chance of living? This is why the Undead and Ascended are not going to 2.0, if the Undead run in and die, people complain, if they go to the highest towers, people complain, no matter what the GMs and people have tried, someone's not happy. So if you have something better, feel free to tell me. ))
