Velious Solo/Duo Challenge Official Thread (and Trio/Group)

[Danth]

Watering the WW dragons is pretty lame but the P99 admins allow it. Can't fairly call it an 'exploit' when it was reported directly to the head admins in 2015 and it's still present in 2025 without so much as a comment, let alone any changes. Maybe -1 to a watered score or some such.

I view our implementation of the lull line in much the same light: Nilbog agreed it was OP way back in 2009 and here we are 15+ years later with lull still OP. Charm, channeling, the list goes on. There's enough "potentially to-be fixed" stuff on P99 that I don't feel it's worth getting bogged down in it. Easier to simply play the game as it exists in front of us and if something changes later, then it changes. It's supposed to be a fun series of solo/duo/etc tasks, not really a competition and certainly not for any tangible reward beyond personal satisfaction.

I haven't done enough POM to be able to comment on it usefully. Just a few trips in 2017....didn't like it much.

No, they don't.

My last dragon video was from 2022. My Ionat video is from 2021. That post is from 2023. So it's not relevant anyway. Personally I haven't really seen or heard of anyone being summoned by a GM for it, but they can certainly correct me in this thread if I am wrong.

There's a reason you pulled both to the exact same spot. There's a reason you positioned them both exactly the same way. You know what you were doing. You knew you were exploiting the water LOS to avoid taking the breath damage (aka Dragon Drowning). These kills are not legit and they never have been.

Right now myself, Zuranthium, and Danth disagree it seems.

Check again. Seems you're mistaken.

So far you have zero.

We both do since yours weren't legit.

You can keep trying to attack other people's kills if you wish. It isn't incentivising people to do solo challenges here or anyhwere else on these forums. You can post your solo challenge kills at any time. So far you have zero. You are very quick to deal out judgement, but are so shy about showing off your own kills. I wonder why that is? Unlike yourself, I won't simply attack your video. You don't have to be afraid to post videos.

Thanks for the update Samoht. I wasn't around here much in '23 to notice it. Seems like admin attitudes are gradually changing. I think I was the first person to post it in the private forum section back in '15--one of the first, anyway--so I'm pleased they're finally coming around.

Guide, not GM, but they came out and told us to knock it off. So now we don't fight dragons in the water.

This is incorrect, even if those videos were disqualified.

I also have a Cliff Golem, Ancient Wurm, and King Tranix kill (fully popped room, no lulls or FD). All of these were self buffed, self pulled, no consumables. You have no way to argue they weren't solo:

Three for me and Zero for you. You can post any evidence at any time. But we both know you won't.

Four kills if we end up counting Ice Burrowers. That was also self buffed, self pulled, no consumables:

These are just the recorded kills obviously. I don't record every kill I do.

There is no reason for my WW Dragon videos to be disqualified.

The post above was created after my videos were made. This post is from 2023, and my last WW Dragon video is from 2022. My Ionat video is from 2021. Rules change on the server over time. I can't predict the future.
