I've performed little life hacks in this game like using the manastone on the right classes at the right time, that I have thought were perfected to min max mastery, then Ill see someone else do the same thing 20% faster and be like, holy crap I wouldnt have even dreamed of using my item with another item like that holy crap I must try this!!!!

How do you not get that out of castles video lmao I just dont get it. Its like being a norrathian luddite lmao

I guess in that sense, thank you for making up the farmers of the karanas, Loramin [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Honest question: when someone does something cool in Contra with the three starting lives, are you more or less impressed vs. when they do it with Konami code? When someone on P99 get their items from someone else (RMT or twinked by a friend) instead of earning them, are you more or less impressed vs. when they earn them?

When someone does something else that involves not playing EverQuest, but makes playing Everquest easier ... something the game's makers removed because it made it too easy ... are you more or less impressed vs. when someone does something clever by actually playing the game?

I seriously think you should try to obtain a manastone so you might be able to understand why you are so increidbly wrong comparing it to a cheat code in contra.

I mean I dont want to sound harsh but you didnt even know what a sarnak battle shield is, seriously question, do you really think you have a right to be so convinced that your right about this? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Edit: I just get mad at you loramin because your main argument is "their use is not clever"

Yes it is, it is super clever, you would never ever eeeeeeeeeeeever have figured the OPs trick out if you played this game for 80 years. Ive worked my ass off to min max that stone and I never thought of this!

I bet you'd hold it and be like, "I dont get it, this isnt that much faster at all." Ive seen people use these things for years like complete idiots. I was like that for a looong time too until someone manapilled me and blew my mind deep in a guk dungeon once long ago.

Figuring out how to use the manastone, especially after it gets nerfed, is an amazing feat and its something that you just should try to learn about and understand..

because it's magic and magic is cool.

Look, it literally doesn't matter what I write, because you don't read it. I've said multiple times in this thread that the ring recharge was clever. Less clever because it requires a cheat, but still clever.

I don't know how many more times I have to say it to get through to you, but I'm not going to waste my "breath" trying to find out. Meanwhile, when I ask you direct questions (eg. is RMT less impressive than not RMT?), you ignore them and attack me personally.

Keep arguing with the voices in your head, but I'm here for conversations with people, so I'm out.

You're comparing the manastone use as a blanket to using a cheat code, then asking me if it's less cool because someone uses one in contra?

Im sorry if I cant read your backflips here, I know you said the ring uses was clever, but you're saying here flat out the manastone is a cheat, and im telling you

to use it to gain any amount of mana over just sitting there and meditating, requires that you are clever.

But you just say that using it and clicking it is cheating. Which is 100% wrong.

So dont get upset with me man, you're the one not reading my posts mr accuser pants.

Heres an answer to your honest question, that I find so loaded that it's not honest at all... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


If the cool thing they are showing me is

1. beating the game without dying
2. speed running the game
3. playing the game

I do not care if they ahve 24 lives

if they are showing me they can beat the game in under 3 lives, but died 23 times, then NO obviously I wont be impressed.

If someone is showing me everquest and is like

Hey check me out Im a wizard combing my manastone to kill shot the mob when the tank is at 1%!
Im a cleric geting runed by an enchanter during a tough battle
My druid binds and ports out during an epic pull to reup and gates in for the clutch final heals

Then f@#%k yeah I will be impressed if they tell me they do any of that with a "cheat code"!

I just dont see how dying to all of those things is better everquest because you didnt have a manastone + the brains to use it and the quick thinking to pull it out at the right time. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Loramin, if you think manastone is like a cheat code, just wait til my 50 mage pet tanks and kills Priest of Discord in Rivervale with the help of 5-11 gearless (except for a ring slot) level 1 halflings. Cumulative level kill on PoD of 55-61 levels in Vanilla classic - when you put it that way, it's kinda cool.

*rubs hands together*

I just want to make something novel out of a game that has lost its novelty. It's my way of reclaiming some nostalgia by discovering new things in a game that has been fully(?) discovered. A game I had so much fun discovering things in, but truly am reaching the upper limit of what I can "discover" due to playing so many years and all the information available.

Doing something new in a game where it's "all been done before" is a fun game in and of itself. See the thread of "Which race/class combo would you be impressed most with at max level." Widespread general sentiment: none, it's all been done before.

Well, I got a few things left on my list of things that have (probably?) never been done before. Stay tuned.

Soloing Tantor in Velious with Red Wood Wands is off my list now unfortunately =( Only possible via bard now and bard could kill faster with chant kite, and it's a one-shot ordeal with no recharge... But like I said... stay tuned.

The wonder of norrath is that you can do whatever a chemist can do in real life with atoms, you can do with pixels!

This is so much work just to get a full bar of mana, easier to afk
