Comments on: Reapplying the Decal: Part 2 http://www.archgrove.co.uk/weblog/2005/08/09/reapplying-the-decal-part-2 Implicit Definition Thu, 01 Apr 2010 13:52:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Veritas Boyle http://www.archgrove.co.uk/weblog/2005/08/09/reapplying-the-decal-part-2/comment-page-1#comment-472 Veritas Boyle Mon, 19 Sep 2005 05:22:02 +0000 http://www.archgrove.co.uk/weblog/2005/08/09/reapplying-the-decal-part-2#comment-472 My! my! SM certainly has a very vivid imagination, I mean coming up with that psychogenic lore about the roots of AC, ALMOST as impressive as the work that is Decal. well not really... Allow me to share my experience thus far. I was around when AC first came out, BEFORE decal! Since then I've been a member of the Obsidian Knights of TD and proudly call my self a "Knight". Back then, many hours went into looting and selling, figuring out spells, and finding ways to stack my pyreals with out OB my character. Then Decal came out, shortly afterwards, I discontinued regular playing (in no way related to the release of Decal). I then came back late of last year when decal, it would seem, was at its peak! So many apps could be d/l'd and run to enhance the game play! And salvaging/tinking, whoa that one took a moment to figure out! You mean my bandit hilt elect yaoji is worthless now? Damn! Most recently I've come back to play AC after a couple months off. I've come to this conclusion; without the implement of Decal in game play, I no longer have the availablity of a buff bot to cast me up to tip top shape (lvl 126 sword, 2 schools magic). And now every corpse is not scanned with a swiftness that would not hinder my max exp earned / buff cycle. So now I am having to go out and interact with other players, work up to getting them to cast a few critter spells on me, and likely wind up hunting with them for the time being. Also I am now faced with the choice of, take the time to loot corpses in great detail to try and find one of those 'rares' I keep hearing about, OR kill one, move on to the next one until my stamina needs casting. If your still reading this post, I must say that it has been interesting coming back and adapting to AC again with out the help of Decal. Though I wouldn't mind having it again =) However I am against macro hunting and that sort, I mean when I came across it in game, I didn't mind it at all, its about my gaming experience, and playing the game is fun for me. BUT when my EX-patron asks to go hunting in some dungeon and then turn on ElTank and leave his monitor, that pissed me off a little bit, I mean Hello?! You take me to a dungeon above my abilities and then leave me for bantha fodder? What nerve! Speaking of nerve, all you Dev's, don't let your nerve be smashed or weakend by other attempts to knock you, instead let them be empowered by thier harsh comments. Its almost like a direct attack on your abilities, and I think you should come back double fold and show them what it means to be a 'computer programmer of breathtaking technical and creative proficiency'. Keep up the preserverance and I look forward to the new Decal! Thank you for your posts and melting away a few hours down time at the job. Cheers! My! my! SM certainly has a very vivid imagination, I mean coming up with that psychogenic lore about the roots of AC, ALMOST as impressive as the work that is Decal. well not really…

It’s a hacker thread and not everyone accepts what AC has become due to their actions. I don’t know who you are which is no surprise since if I did, you would likely not make up lies about me.

I'd just have to say that what I use to admire of you, I've lost for ever just as I did with the guild that we both were in. Your ruining a good thread. Sad that what these people seem to say is true along with every other bad thing I heard. By far the good out wieghs the bad in Decal, along with all the plug ins it comes down to how one chooses to use them. Locke Mary I wont stoop to your level again!
