YAVP: FeWz
Posted: Thursday, 18th December 2014, 11:40
Well, my slow and plodding work on filling in the Wz column is taking shape. I now have my third species win.
Playing a felid has been an exercise in drudgery. This species should not be considered a "specialty" or "difficult" species and treated differently simply because it is listed as one of an equal number and list of choices in the beginning. Something needs to be done to rectify the inequality, or it should be eliminated.
At one point, he was XL27, and still unable to cast a single level 9 spell, despite extreme skill investments. Ridiculous. He had several things going for him, not the least of which were a raft of lovely mutations that he carried all the way to Zot, where he was immediately malmutated by OoFs and ancient liches and had to destroy all his by mutations quaffing the cure for the bad ones, which is a completely retarded mechanic that the vocals keep championing senselessly.
I had hoped to do another 15-runer, but it was clear that even in statue form (a game-changer, for sure) it would be impossible.
Overmatched on Zot:5, I decided to tele around, apported the orb, and ran. Died twice on the ascent, but made it to the surface without having to fight much of anything. Lame victory for a lame species. This episode has really soured my view on the game.
On the bright side, I must be getting better, because this win took only 35 attempts (but if you add up all the felid deaths, I'm sure it is twice that number, so no celebration just yet).

Playing a felid has been an exercise in drudgery. This species should not be considered a "specialty" or "difficult" species and treated differently simply because it is listed as one of an equal number and list of choices in the beginning. Something needs to be done to rectify the inequality, or it should be eliminated.
At one point, he was XL27, and still unable to cast a single level 9 spell, despite extreme skill investments. Ridiculous. He had several things going for him, not the least of which were a raft of lovely mutations that he carried all the way to Zot, where he was immediately malmutated by OoFs and ancient liches and had to destroy all his by mutations quaffing the cure for the bad ones, which is a completely retarded mechanic that the vocals keep championing senselessly.
I had hoped to do another 15-runer, but it was clear that even in statue form (a game-changer, for sure) it would be impossible.
Overmatched on Zot:5, I decided to tele around, apported the orb, and ran. Died twice on the ascent, but made it to the surface without having to fight much of anything. Lame victory for a lame species. This episode has really soured my view on the game.
On the bright side, I must be getting better, because this win took only 35 attempts (but if you add up all the felid deaths, I'm sure it is twice that number, so no celebration just yet).
