why don't u give us your tricks :-D |
I mean, what kind of level 13 player travels naked and why??
Me. :p
The reasons (to me), are many,
1. I fight when I wanna fight, not when I'm thrust into one.
2. I don't like to waste my hard-earned gold (arts) just for the sake on gaining some miserly exp.fsp. If I need exp/fsp, I can always get them doing min AP ambushing/GBs. In my opinion, wasting about 5000 precious gold worth of arts traveling in full + enchanted arts just don't make sense.
3. This being the most important reason for me - Most of us are thieves. We do ambushing for a variety of reasons - build secondary factions, gain exp/fsp, earn TG points etc. Do we like it if we meet someone wearing like 3 x 40% enchanted arts and make you lose an ambush and have to wait an hour before we can ambush again? I don't think so. Then why do it to others?
Some players can only spend 1-2 hours online daily. Making them lose an ambush really sux for them and does little good for the thief hunter except some miserly exp/fsp, which is hardly worth the gold and durability wasted. |
I mean, what kind of level 13 player travels naked and why?? Seriously. At first I thought he was high faction level DE catching you in his full arts. But I watched few battles. Not enchanted steel set. You can barely do a merc quest in such set, not thieve.
same with people who carry just 1 troop :)
i don't understand it - but hey, free tg points |
I'm with Jedi-Knight. Travelling fully arted up seems a waste of gold. For people travelling with 1 troop, I'm delighted. Free TG point with very little XP attached.
I'm now trying to get a hunt record or two, so getting a cheap TG point to get my initiative up is sweet. |
same with people who carry just 1 troop :)
Always do that. But if a wizard does that, he loses all mini artifacts and has to equip them each time again .. =( |

Easy win, 11000 exp and 2 fsp for funny 1500 gold. Seems like a good deal to me. |
for darkelf84:
by the way how did u manage to catch so much players and less caravans?
There must be a secret about it, but don't take this as offensive.
I just want to learn ambushing 'tactics' |
| clever :) |
yeah i want to learn this "ambushing tactics" too.
can you teach me :) |
everyone ambush,
but why he can ambush so much people?
the ratio is unnormal,
I wonder there is illgal program, |
to 39.
Q1: This is anti-thieves's challance.
But i reveal my small secret. U hardly catch me alone.
I have hardly been caught by anti-thieves.
Q2: You can ask TaQQ, xone0016 to know about it. It was no lie .
to all. Secret. :) |
#17
2.How do he avoid those anti-thievies?
99% of ambushes are made between 4 locations:
Yellow Lake <-> Great Capital
Yellow Lake <-> Blooming Glade
Yellow Lake <-> East Bay
Great Capital <-> Silent Hill
So, he simply doesn't travel between these locations.
For example, if he wants to travel from Yellow Lake to Blooming Glade, he travels Yellow Lake -> Misty Coast -> Great Capital -> Blooming Glade. |
| I have been caught. A closed battle. If i had been careful i would have won. |
to 52:
That is the strategy i avoid thieves (I still wear full-arts, sorry to thieves).
But #17 discuss "how to avoid anti-thieves" not thieves. |
to togort:
where is 99% come from?
do u realy know what we are talking about? |
to 53:
That is strange. From 5/2, you won more than 135 players with only 2 loses.
Maybe bad luck "finally" falls on you? :p |
| 52 it does make sence for avoiding thiefes but anti-thief is some1 trying to catch thiefs in full arts + enchants mostly :) |
for Barbarian-Fishy:
I wasn't complaining here, I told the interesting fact (admit that it was interesting) and it WAS related to this thread.
Is there any rule that prohibits to post a link to battle log?
Please explain why you deleted the post.

A very very closed battle. He had 2 enchanted gargoyles. I had a big mistake. I did not think i had 6 mana left. If i had casted Disruption ray spell on his enchanted gargoyles i would have won for sure. :(( too sad.

I would say it's not a secret at all. I did a couple of days maybe a year ago when I was level 10 switching from elf to DE. I quit after a few tries since I feel it's unethical and has no fun at all. Mostly I caught players but occasionally met caravans. At that time, we can still catch players in the same clan, but it's not possible now for the same military clan. I think that's a major reason he leaves his former battle clan EW in order for catching more players.
Some of my advise,
For Admin: show the location change after destination arrival, not immediately after moving.
For thieves: stick on caravans, not target on players.
For travelers: may wear full art to avoid being ambushed, but not intentionally looking for poorly equipped thieves for an uneven battle.
Finally hope everyone enjoys the game. |
