Hi!
Remember me? I’m your evil Scumlord. Yes, I know we haven’t talked for a while.
But can you blame me? You are all so damned ugly, it hurts my head even
thinking about you. I mean, sure you are evil spawn and all, but do you really
need to be so unpleasant on the eyes? Isn’t it enough I suffer every time one
of you opens their mouth and spout vile lies, does there really has to be a visual
component too? And while we are at it. What’s up with this newly fashion to
attack from the front… What is wrong with the oldschool stabbing in the back? So
I at least have the option to just let you stab me instead of having to look at
you… Seriously Scum… have a little heart…

ScumFlash:
Quilp is
getting so round lately that he apparently is developing motherly feelings. He keeps
finding himself these little brats he enjoys keeping around. But you know me,
as long as it keeps Da Round One happy… it is just hard to say no to those big
round puppy eyes. And after all, it is
not THAT hard to ignore those tiny corpses after he forgot to feed them again for
a couple of days… right?
His first
victim: Silverlance is a level 230 catriding Scout who apparently thinks we
have an emperor and enjoys setting stuff on fire. All I can say about that is… I’m glad we
managed to get another Scout, but why are they all nuts? But to prove I’m not a bad guy I’ll give him
a little tip: Go to the “Hall of Fame” type in a random number between 15.000
and 35.000 (they have the most different goodies) and attack the one that comes up. Do this every 10 minutes and watch
your scrapbook percentage grow. Because let’s face it… 49.65% is a bit shameful
at level 230.
His second
victim this week is Georgi97, a level 223 catriding mage, with a very decent
93,53% scrapbook. He really needs to reevaluate his gear though, because some
of it is out of date. Especially that Hula Costume is soooo 2 years ago. Doing
damage faster than your opponent is the most important part in this game. With
staying alive long enough to be able to do that damage as a good second. So focus on your mainstat (INT in your case)
and CON.
Rule of thumb: Always go for equipment with
the highest mainstat (INT, DEX or STR depending on which class you are) + CON combination. Take 3-way epic ONLY if the
combined mainstat and CON values are well over the value of the mainstat of
normal gear you would have gotten otherwise (LUCK is just a bonus). For 5-way epics basically the same rule
applies, but the amount of added defense bonuses (non Mainstat values), keep
them viable a little longer.
For
example: Your normal mainstat items have INT around 450+ (gloves, shoes, robe).
Your Hula costume is a 188 5-way epic (188 INT+ 188 CON = 376 which is a lot
less then 450) and should be replaced. The same goes for the epic 225 5-way necklace
(225 INT + 225 CON = 450, you’ll get better values out of a normal INT item by
now).

Number One again:
I almost
forgot… We finally managed to grab the number one spot again. Gratz to all
lowlifes and scumbuckets. But if we want to keep that spot we really need to do
better on our check in again. We can’t always rely on our archenemies to lose
because their check in is worse than ours. Instead, we need to make sure that
or check in is always better than theirs. To help in that regard we’re trying to
get back on track to the normal attack schedule of 0.00 and 12.00 PST raids
(aka 9.00 and 21.00 CET).
Montly
dungeonraids are back:
Because we
love adventure, loot and slaughtering, but mostly because Valind asked me why we aren't doing it anymore,
we’re going back to our monthly dungeon raid schedule. That means every first Wednesday
of the month at 0.00 PST (aka 9.00 CET) someone will push the dungeonraid
button. Be sure to safe your potions for this occasion and let’s see how far we
can get this time.
Officers
This post
is getting way way way way too long (I know you Scum have the attention span of a
dead moth), so I’ll safe the officer part of this post till next time. Just let
me hint, that there will be a lot of changes and that your help is needed.
