ok. just wanted to know who we have to bribe to get some kinda of barbarian Gm that will actually do something for us It has been a while since the barbarians have gotten anything realy useful. The other guilds are getting new spells and useful abilities all the time. I personally know that there have been a few really good candidates applying for the the spot. yet we still have no one filling the posistion. I was just wondering why, and when can we get a Gm that will actually do something for us useful. I know,,we have roar masks,war paint,and a copule barbarian only shops that sel nice fluff( yes thats about all they sell,,fluff..The forged items are way better so why bother with the ones the shops sell. And as for the masks, and war paints what good are they when you can not get em..if nothing else can we atkeast get a war paint store that we can shop at anytime instead of waiting for fests and merchents (that never seem to happen anymore). Shoot even the bards get better stuff then we do...It's kinda sad, when i started out here a long long time ago the barbarians were a great guild to belong to..now there the so far down the list umong the gm's I don't think they even know we exsist anymore...If ya don't believe me go back over the boards from the last year or so and see what all has come around for the barbs and look at what all the other guilds have gotten..

While the development pace of DR has never been blazing I think we've got a damn fine good GM who is working hard for us. Remember, he's just one man. Just have a little faith.

If there is one thing Dragonrealms has taught me over the years its patience. Just be patient.

He said new attacks are at the top of his list, so I'm gonna have to give him my support for the moment. Especially if we get to see something soon...

I'm still wishing for a way to rechoose roars, though :(

Thats the problem everything is in the planning,,thats like a politician saying as soon as i get into office... Tell me this,,is all that new stuff they are planning on the same table as the new forging system...And While i'm ranting I Think charlie( belive thats his name)has been missing long enough now. I say it's time to replace him...We are Barbarians. it's time to act like a barbarian instead of being submisive and saying oh well as long as your working on something...Quit kissing butt it has not worked yet..........

>>Thats the problem everything is in the planning,,thats like a politician saying as soon as i get into office... Tell me this,,is all that new stuff they are planning on the same table as the new forging system...

No, different GMs, by in large, are working on the lore stuff than are working on just flat-out Barbarian stuff, as far as I'm aware.

>>And While i'm ranting I Think charlie( belive thats his name)has been missing long enough now. I say it's time to replace him...

He'll either return or be replaced when there's a reason to do so (ie. sometime after the new forging system).

>>We are Barbarians. it's time to act like a barbarian instead of being submisive and saying oh well as long as your working on something...Quit kissing butt it has not worked yet..........

How about you start acting like a Barbarian first yourself? Stop this pointless bellyaching and being disrespectful to the GM(s) who are and have been working on stuff for this guild. I used to use an old quote from Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan) as the tag-line for all my posts back in the day, and I think it's time to bring it back out just for you...

"Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing." - The Tower of the Elephant, R. E. Howard.

If you want to act like a Barbarian, learn this lesson.

Putting the Romance back in Necromancer.

Necromancy: Because every man lives, not every man really dies.

Very recently GM Aurdun got the chakrel changed so you don't have to kneel to meditate on it. Considering how many people were asking for that I'd call it development. I think you're whining to whine and should be flat out ignored.

It way too early to judge Aurdun. Considering he just recently got the job. His first release, the chakrel change was great. I now use my chakrel in combat all the time. He also seems to have a really great vision on the future of the guild.

On the same note, you can't proclaim him a great GM on planning alone. There have been plenty of promises in the past made by GMs of all guilds that have never been completed.

Maybe I am too gullible but I expect big things from Aurdun.

charlie was "played" by former sgm Maelona. so he's gone. there will be someone else replacing him that provides similar functions most likely though.

all guilds go thru phases of inactivity. things will get better.

Considering all the things he has on the "to do" list he gave us, I'd say give him another 6 months at least before you can do any judging.

you also have to remember that adding code to a program as large as dr isn't easy because you have so many functions that have to link to the new code and old code that it needs to link too. then you have to test it to make sure its not going to mess up the game or interfere with other code. it takes time lots of time.

>>Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Shut up Corum.

We just came from having two great gm's and we're apparently in good hands now. I'll be testing his drinking qualifications tomorrow night. Stay tuned.

>>God man, you need to join a guild like the Paladins and learn about how green the grass is. Do they even have a GM now?

What happened to Maece? Aside from that, there's Ssra.

DISCLAIMER: THIS POSTER IS NOT A MEMBER OF STAFF AND HIS INFORMATION IS/MIGHT BE WRONG.

>>Assuming it gets approved, when we take a look roars, you MAY (do NOT take this as gospel) not have to worry about roar for a little while.

Someone explain this line to me because I am confused? When we look at roars we don't have to worry about roars?

....only thing I can possibly draw from this is that roars may be taken away and be put on preview?

Dude. Awsome. I won't take it as gospel, but you can't stop me from getting my hopes up! ;)

To the OP: See? You don't need to bribe anyone. Aurdun'll try to work his magic anyway.

D'oh, good catch. That's what I meant, of course.

Being a War Mage is great. You get to rain all sorts of desctruction on people. Plus, you can blame your gas on Zephyr. Just wave your fingers and let it out.

>Charlie is not coming back in the way used to be

I hope that whoever replaces Charlie isnt some half-representative jackass of the Trader Guild like ol' Charlie.

The replacement to Charlie (whom I might be evil and name Charlie for laughs) will be an automated system that will get folks a mark or not based purely upon their relevant skills with a hard set requirement. As stated this will not occur prior to the rewrite and the mech split where we'll have the actual relevant new skills that actually indicate who spends time in the forge or not among other conciderations. There will be no GMNPC which you'll have to try to catch at unannounced random intervals who will make a decision as to if you are worthy or not in their eyes.

More details on this later. I'm very unworried about the specifics of how this will work as I'm more worried about getting the rewrite done so that I can resume worrying about how this will work.

"This island is made mainly of coal and surrounded by fish. Only an organizing genius could produce a shortage of coal and fish at the same time." Aneurin Bevan, May 1945, on World War II rationing and shortages in England.

since my barbarian already has a mark, although she hasn't spent much time in the forge, -- as she had been told she had to train weapons higher in order to be effective in the forge - that is what she has been focusing on, training those weapons <although she DID make a katar it was well, a pretty awful katar. :-)

Now it was stated in the other folder that the lore primaries will be the best at creating things, although she would still like to forge, so should she now be spending her time folding paper instead of killing things like a good barbarian?

what's a tog to do!!!!

i was thinking bard might be better. you get lore prime plus weapon training at 2ndary.
