A Call for a Kingsmoot Issued 19 SA, 5th of Ambercold Today, I, Donovan II Freysson, am issuing a public request for the Kingdom of Norland to call for a Kingsmoot for the potential replacement of Halvar Edvardsson. In the time honored tradition of our people, a moot of Rurics ought to be called for the replacement of a King for the betterment of the Kingdom. Whilst I believe that Halvar was an incredibly good King in his younger years, guiding our people through the Sutica war and Inferi war, in his older age he has grown soft and complacent. Our people have been slighted continuously since our settlement on the continent of Nyrheim. The only slight which has been justly answered was the wergild of Krugmar. Since that incident, there have been slights from The Druid Grove, The Realm of Elvenesse, The Kingdom of Oren, and most recently the oath breaking high elves of Haelunor, whom whilst under the Iron accord chose to enact crimes in the Kingdom of Norland. Thus, in light of the recent actions, or rather inactions, of Halvar Edvardsson I no longer believe that he in his old age is fit to hold the throne to the Kingdom of Norland. Should this moot be accepted and Halvar re-elected I shall not issue any further challenging to his leadership. Additionally, I believe it to be unfair to issue this challenge without myself being willing to take up the burden of Kingship. I hereby nominate myself as the first candidate for this moot, although I encourage other Rurics who believe they may lead our nation well to do the same. Donovan Freysson, Former Marshal of the Kingdom of Norland

if this is true, would you possibly say that you do a medium, or even slightly above average amount of trolling?

Smol'Ruk wanders around the new city of krugmar, admiring the architecture. "Mi grukks mi have peeped zimilar goi to diz in pazt. Ztill! Twiggiez nub gettin in here!"

Smol'ruk grins a large yellow toothed smile. "Hozh, mi grukk diz iz ok zirkumztanzez tu have pinkkie bruddas."

Checks for Techs!

Highlanders on mod team be like:

Rigan takes the time to make an amendment to his statement: "Although not quite as salty as the rivers by Oren were during the Sutica war."

Rigan Volaren goes to the pool of water behind the canonist church in Karosgrad. He lowers his mask and dips a takes a drink from the pool. After a quick moment he spits it out to his side and nods to himself. "As I suspected. Salt."

Didn't haelunor get one and isn't haelunor directly allied with oren?

I think this summarizes my thoughts on the issue personally but I do have a couple other things to add: First, I find that cheaters in 1.9 are typically easier to catch and are less beneficial than in 1.8. Keyword, less, I understand that they still do give an inherent advantage. The major difference that I find is that it requires the use of a client or mods for beneficial hacks as opposed to a hard to catch auto-clicker script. Second, I see a lot of comments here about TTK. Personally I don't find TTK that bad but I do agree it can certainly be slow at times for many people especially with kiting and saturation. However, most communities do their practices off of the main LOTC server where it's easier to organize things in 1.9 with the custom things. The important thing here is that they aren't using exact copies of Vortex/Surge so they're missing a couple things the biggest being special effects. I'm sure many people remember the bleed and stun effects from the Open Beta, these will greatly decrease TTK since kiting will be harder and there will be more damage. That begs the question, why haven't we seen any of these on live? Well, the first thing to consider is that most major fights have happened at a level of bronze or iron gear where the chance to land an effect is abysmally low, coupled with the fact that common LOTC gear is pretty much just Chainmail and Swords, (Chainmail resists bleed from swords), and these effects haven't shown up at all. Hopefully some changes are made to make these effects more relevant. Third, I suspect LOTC already has some form of buffed bow damage, something that people haven't experienced too much because of private servers. 0zark and I did some thorough testing of bow damage on Open Beta and we found that bows often did 2-3 hearts of damage per shot. On private servers, this damage feels (and probably is) much lower. Edit: I've been informed this is no longer the case. I definitely think this should be changed back to how it was. Fourth, most weapons can very easily out DPS saturation even without landing critical hits. As dyselxic has correctly said, the problem is that people aren't particularly good at group fighting. 1.9 group fighting and 1.8 group fighting are incredibly different and it takes a lot of practice to transition from one to the other so I understand a lot of the community's frustration with this. Fifth, we already know changes are coming in some form or another. Pretty much everyone agrees that the current version of vortex is drastically underprepared and work is being done to fix it. It's not worth arguing too much about these things right now because we aren't using a finished product. I understand there is a difference between constructive criticism and whining and I think there are definitely some people on this thread who have made better suggestions than others. Just sit tight and let's see what happens because everyone knows the player base doesn't have any control / say in things anyways.
