WoW and Contest Round#2

It's amazing how many people ask me to play WoW. Today this guy I don't even know very well said to me "play WoW". The pressure is building... I think I might quit Lineage to play WoW.

Just kidding.

I can't imagine myself quitting Lineage because I have so many goals. Lineage was the first MMORPG I ever played and it has changed a lot since 2001. With each added content, my wants increase more and more. What I have now is just a small sample of my Lineage dream.

I will probably quit gaming all together rather than play a game other than Lineage. One of my big regrets is constantly switching MMORPGs and never reaching my Lineage goals. I really plan to stick with Lineage until the end. And may that day never come...

Contest Round 2
Thank you to all who participated in my contest. I think it's unfair to keep people waiting, so I'll have the contest go by rounds.

In Round 1, the previous post, everyone was wrong. So with your choices narrowed down somewhat, keep the guesses coming. (That is, if you really want five nzels.) People who posted their guesses previously may guess again.

Focus Method and A Contest

First some drop:
I don't know why people complain about it not being b-kat. Katana = 10k which is better than nothing.
Yeah, I guess I'm late in noticing these spelling errors. I wonder what other ones have them.

Ok now for the focus method, which again, I'm probably late in using. The only person I've ever seen with screenshots like this is Rehito, and when I saw those screenshots, I always thought it was there because that was a convenient location.

So one day I turned on the movable HP/MP bar and I moved it around. I moved it to where you see it in the screenshot, and the first thought that popped into my head was, "Hey, that hides the experience bar!"
I used to constantly look at my experience bar when I hunted and I got discouraged and tired because of how slow the progress was. I would try to play for, say, 3 hours straight and get experience that whole time. What always happened was, I got off after maybe 2.5 hours because I met a certain % goal and I was tired. But with hiding the experience bar, I don't look at my experience and it's easier to just stay on for that period of time I've allocated for hunting.

The best part is moving the experience bar away after a long and successful hunt. Sometimes I go "Wow, I made a lot of progress." There are those moments when I see my experience bar and drop my head in exasperation because I thought I got more % than that. Still, hiding my experience bar really helps me get to my goal faster and more efficiently. These days, I try not to move the experience bar anymore, so don't bother asking me for my level and % because I dont' know. =P

Now for the contest!
Here is the picture again:


I'm going to award [5 scrolls of enchant armor] to whoever gets this right. Post with
-What class this character is
-What level it is
-What is the stat distribution

If you can get all three right, you get 5 nzels.

Example
-Knight
-level 60
-14 con, 20 str

(obviously this guy would be way off track, but at least I eliminated one possibility for you.)

I suck at taking screenshots, so I'll just show this one.

Serious Question- No Flaming, Just Answer If You Know

I don't know how many big name mages like Drannon, Ettin, Creatine, and so on read this blog, but I have a question about mages in pvp. I was reading drannon's blog a few minutes ago and someone commented with "i still think [name irrevelant] has best mage control ". What I want to know is, what exactly does that mean?

I have a mage and I have tried some pvping with it, but I find it's hard to target a person who is surrounded by other people. Obviously, it's very easy to target someone who is pink with the middle mouse wheel, but it's a lot more difficult to be the aggressor and have to ctrl + click someone. So is that what "best mage control" means?

Then again, how do mages kill one person in a crowd without accidentally hitting bystanders? So my real question is, do all the mages with respect and credability have such great control that they don't use modified lin.bin files or autolocking programs like Linex? I'm just putting it out there, please don't flame, just comment if you have the true answer.

*Previously posted before I thought of the question*

Surprisely, I didn't take a single screenshot from my last post to now, so I have no pictures to post.

Just some news:
-I left PlayBoy because a lot of them joined KoGurYo, and I'm not ready to fight yet. Also a bunch of members left and joined other pledges because PlayBoy is so empty.
-I joined ElvenGlory, and yea, it is full of elves. I think the princess is looking for a war (not like K and Pride war, more like actually using the /war command), so if that ever happens, it would be fun.

I took a quick trip to FI to test elemental falldown + vampiric touch combo. I hunted the place past the drake/bb area with ettin and cyclops. The bugbears/trolls/harpies are easy with triple shot and vt, but the cyclops and ettin require falldown + vt to be killed faster. The experience wasn't better than 3xf in my short run, but if I go again and get used to it, it will probably be better experience. FI is always fun nonetheless.

My rabbits are still level 30 but one is 33 now. I don't expect to start seriously training them again for another month.

Ace is a Water Elf Now

First off, I'd like to apologize to those people who check this blog often expecting a post. I just don't have enough content to post since I only play about three days a week. I also want to thank those who read this blog; it makes posting worth it.

First off, here's a bit of hope for those who hunt FV! This was my first bdai in over a year.

Look, I only use two rabbits now. Just kidding. One of the two rabbits you see is actually four overlapping. Which one is it?
I haven't been leveling my rabbits lately, so the picture from my previous post is still up to date. Since I have a vacation coming up (Feb 18- Feb 27) I decided to go back to exp gaining mode, as well as exploring more content from episode four.

Once I got to level 30, I chose earth line and never changed. Since elemental falldown came out, I decided to finally switch to water and check it out.
I had a +0 b-kat lying idle on a storage character so I made it +5 and went to FV to play like a melee int elf. It seems like elemental falldown + vampiric touch doesn't add more damage, but lets you do max damage more consistently. So when I fought a fire warrior or fire archer, I didn't have to use elemental falldown first, but on a lava golem, it made a difference.

Just another screenshot I found amusing. Not one, not two, but three bugged lava golems.
