A Journey With Merry!

Thu, 08 May 2008 19:30:49 GMT

weeeee I'm posting!

I don't remember when Chaos turned green, but i prolly have a pic of him green in an earlier post. He didn't even drop any bbs, cheap bastard

i haven't seen dk in forever. He's still pretty weak, but always fun to kill due to his rarity.

A useful ingredient indeed! For those of you who don't know, Corruption's Tongue is the item you need to make Demon's Crossbow. Unfortunately, you also need like 10 of each shackle and 10 Potions of Mental Acuity. In order to get Potions of Mental Acuity, you have to get each of the books from the Grave Guardians right before SOE. There are 4 books, they're untradeable, and they're pretty rare to get. Furthermore, once you get all 4 of those books, you give them to an NPC and he'll give you one of those items you get to use every 24 hours (i forget specifically what the item is called, but it works like the Unlimited Quiver basically). Potion of Mental Acuity has a rare chance of being obtained from that item.... and remember, you need 10 of those potions to make any demon item lol. So, it'll be awhile before i put Corruptions Tongue to use (if ever), but at least it's cool to know i have it. I've never seen it drop before, and as far as I'm aware it may just be the only one on the server.

speaking of shackles... heh. One down! lol

Yea... i didn't know lich talks! lol
He also dies. HAH! I had a heal mage, but i was the only tank.

Ok then.... so, I've been around for awhile now. And something big happened this morning. And it was good. This is where it all began....

I have *almost* every lvl up saved on my comp. The original SS too, so the file is tagged with the date it was taken. Ahhhh, lvl 50.... I hit lvl 50 on February 15, 2005. This is where my journey began (lvls 1-49 don't count! lol)

Lvl 51 - May 2nd, 2005. Added Con.

Lvl 52 - August 28, 2005. Added Con.

lvl 53 - November 13, 2005. Added Dex.

lvl 54 - January 28, 2006. Added Dex.

Lvl 55 - May 4, 2006. Added Dex.

lvl 56 - May 29, 2006. Added Dex.

Notice that's less than a month from lvl 55 lol. That was when i made a bet with Anju that i couldn't lvl by a certain time. I made 60% in less than a week which was AMAZING back then. Remember, that's BEFORE LOA update came out.

lvl 57 - September 23, 2006. Added Dex.

lvl 58 - April 29, 2007. Added Wis.

I took a LONG break from Lin after i hit lvl 57, that's why it took so long to hit 58. I had actually broken up with my gf of almost 5 years in Jan '07 so i was pretty depressed at the time. Also note i'm on 34f, which means by this point LOA had come out. Does anybody remember exactly when it came out?

lvl 59 - May 29, 2007. Added Wis.

Uh oh, this is the first SS where you see me lvling in TOS 1f!!!! It's also exactly 1 month after i hit lvl 58. Once i discovered Temple of Shadows, my lvling went insane. XP was so easy to come by...

lvl 60 - June 28, 2007. Added Wis.

Hehe, yet again I lvled in 1 month. All thanks to TOS!

lvl 61 - November 20, 2007. Added Wis.

I took quite a break there when the semester started.

lvl 62 - December 25, 2007. Added Wis.

This is the ONLY lvl up ss that i don't have the original of because i was playing on my sis' comp when i lvled that day. If I had the original pic, i would have re-cropped it so i could show that i was hitting lvl 62, but you guys get the point

lvl 63 - January 8, 2008. Added Int.

2 weeks after i hit 62, i made it to 63.

lvl 64 - April 7, 2008. Added Int.

This one you guys actually HAVEN'T seen yet and DIDN'T know about (most of you, anyway). That is to say, i never posted this one. But it's not the surprise

Take a peek at my xp bar... and Lich is comin hehe.

lvl 65 - May 8th, 2008. Added Int.

I lvled up on lich lol. And here are his drops too

it would have been really awesome if he had decided to drop me Lich Robe or something as a lvl up gift lol. Cheapo!

so i was having fun testing out my new stats when i got this!
Yes, i was hunting Lesser Dragons and i wasn't safe % lol.

Also, for those who don't know, my base stats now are:

Str: 12, Dex: 18, Con: 20, Int: 15, Wis: 18, Cha: 9 (Whatever base elf cha is lol)

If you're adding up the numbers, keep in mind there was the elixir event, so that accounts for the one missing Wis point.

And, on a final note...

Yea, that's the sorta things Anju says on TeamSpeak. Scary, isn't it?

Happy hunting and good luck to everybody! May you all ALSO hit lvl 65

- Merry

Yay!

This seems to be a popular comment lately.

i try, guys!

at least SOME people appreciate me

I know you all come to my blog for the hardcore nudity. Naked Riffy!!! lol

i was just amused. Ignore me.

Yep. Look at my xp bar, too! lol that last 15% took me FOREVER to get, i was just so busy lately. Usually the last 15% is the fastest for me to get hehe.

I got payback though... a group, who shall remain nameless, was killing Death and i asked if i could join in. I didn't care about any of the drops, i just wanted to see him die hehe...

they were nice enough to give me head!... of death. lol

and finally:
It took me almost 2 weeks exactly. One hour later and it would have been exactly 2 weeks. (I lvled at about 1:30AM on Tuesday the 8th)

Oh, and i don't care about showing my xp, hp, or mp bars anymore. Whatever heh.

K, good luck everybody and take care!

- Merry

Happy New Year everybody!!!!

Tue, 01 Jan 2008 13:03:35 GMT

Happy happy new year

So, once i lvl again (VERY soon lol) I'm going to make a fun post. I have a good idea for my next post

check back in a week or so. I think maybe by Thursday? We'll see how things go!

good luck in '08!

- Merry

***Edit: Anju pointed something out to me when i told him my idea for my next post, so that idea will have to wait for when i hit 65 now, sorry! Hopefully it shouldn't be too much longer, though! Oh, and i'll still be making a post later this week when i hit 63

Thursday, December 27, 2007

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 00:00:30 GMT

posting from my sis' comp! so i'll keep it short

weee finally my lvl 3 earrings! Workin' on those lvl 4

So, i was hunting TOS2f and i decided to keep careful track of how much xp i was making. The first number is how much xp i had at the very beginning of the hunt, before i killed any mops; each number after that was written down at the end of the wafer. Each wafer = 10 minutes, for those of you who don't know, so basically each number after the first one is 10 minutes later.

Clearly, it doesn't take long for me to get xp hunting there. Since I'm at home and busy with christmas/family stuffs, i haven't really had a lot of time to play, but when i can get 3% in one hour, i really don't need much time before this happens:

lvl 62 I lvled up on Christmas day at about 2AM. Now let's see how long it takes me to get to lvl 63 hehe... I'm already at 7%, and i'm going back to Dallas tomorrow.

Good luck everybody! and, of course, have a very merry Christmas! and happy new years, and all that fun stuff! I know i did/will

- Merry

Another post already!

Mon, 17 Dec 2007 04:45:14 GMT

News! Fun news!!! But first, amusing stuff:

we all like farm animals, right? Especially Anju. We know what he does with farm animals!

they absolutely suck for hunting, btw. Every time you hit a mop, they just run like little pansies. Oh, and i will point out, that the pig is friggin' FAST as hell! Anyway, that was just fun, but here's what this post is REALLY about:

----> sexy

sexier

ummm... not quite as sexy, actually. They used the same sprite for the key as they did for the Head of Chaos, so i was kinda disappointed with it lol

this is the tele pad on 1f

weeeeee

so this is what it looks like when you initially arrive on 2f TOS. All peaceful, tranquil.... those priests are the only ones on 2f TOS that aren't aggro, but they are tribal. So yea, you're just fine at first, the screen is clear and it seems safe....

then this shit happens and F---S you up!!!! lmao i'm sure anybody reading this who has been to 2F TOS is laughing right about now, because they know exactly what just happened to me hahahaahaha

those bastards spawn like crazy. Seriously, you'll have a clear screen like i showed you earlier, then you start hitting something and this shit happens.

Priests of Death... notice the one on the left is essentially an undead Beleth and the one on the right is an undead Bapho

Undead Demon version priest

hehe another demon, they're cool lookin! and that's another Priest of Death above him, they walk really slow and are pretty weak.

there's the undead succubus version hiding behind that priest of chaos... I guess i'll try to get a better ss of the succubus priest and post it. I'll do that in an edit later

and the big tamale himself, Death! He's kinda cool looking, with his 4 arms and all, but i was a little disappointed with him.... he's pretty small. Chaos is a lot crazier looking.

there's a nice SS of him stunning me. When Death sees you, this is what happens: he tele's you to him - just like Chaos - he cancels the living hell outta you - just like Chaos; this SS was taken prior to being canceled - and he stuns the shit out of you - not at all like chaos. Yea, his stun lasts WAAAAAYYYY longer than Chaos' stun does, and the worst part is while you're sitting there stunned for a f^*%ing eternity, Death is nice enough to summon more priests of Death to kick your ass with. And chances are, you die.

SO, even after all that, i tried and tried again and died a few times in the process (i think my death count on 2f is up to like 5 or so now total? haven't really kept track). I'm stubborn, i wanted to find a way to efficiently hunt up there.... and I did.

Bam, there ya have it. On TOS1f I was making 1.2%/hr and that was the best xp i'd made out of every other place I'd hunted before (i've never tried the new RV areas for xp hunting). Now I've more than doubled my xp productivity! It's INSANE heheheh. The great part is, even after i hit lvl 65, i'll still be able to make more xp than I was making on 1f at 49+ lol

there are only 2 downsides, though: first of all, because of my method of hunting up there, i don't get drops. Zero. No frags, no bbs, not even so much as a brave pot or anything.
Secondly, i'm constantly using water life because otherwise my mp simply won't keep up. You saw those screenshots, it gets pretty crazy pretty fast up there, and the damage adds up fast. Extremely painful. That's a downside, because it means that i go through sgems like candy... i used like almost 400 i think in that one hour. So.... for the xp gain, i definitely still think it's totally worth it, but man do i take a hit as far as money goes lol. These hunts are very costly.

Alright, it's almost 4 in the morning. Take care and good luck everybody!

rather than starting this post off with how much people love me, i thought i'd go for something different....

i know you're lying, you love me =)

yep, TraciLynne is a dirty liar too!

I got AS solo hoping it would make for an interesting post is it working yet?

10bzels + 10 5bcomrs =

&
add another nzel
oh well, can't win 'em all.

and now it's time for various drops! yay!

cougar is too damn weak.

if phoenix dropped anything more useless, i think i'd throw up.

this guy is always interesting, right?

look! he's gold! heh

yea, he might've been more interesting if he'd dropped something.

me, showing off my nice cock

oh yea, and btw for those of you who didn't know yet.... lol, i'm lvl 61! i'm at like 40% already so that just shows how lazy i've been as far as updating this crazy blog. I can't believe you guys still check in on me! hehe

So i'm going home for Christmas, i'll be gone from the 18th-28th. I might actually throw one more quickie post in before i leave, if things go well... we'll see

btw, amph, i think it's funny you liked Jen, she's by far the CRAZIEST of those 3 girls in my last post. But no phone #'s will be given out on my blog! Unless some cute girl decides she wants to give me her # on my chatterbox?

k gl everybody, and take care!

- Merry

Heeeeeeeeeere's Merry!

Mon, 05 Nov 2007 19:07:08 GMT

Sup gang! I've actually been logging in a little bit lately. Just started playing again about a week and a half ago...

nice to see people still care!

These pics are kinda old, from the island event, but i thought they were worth showing anyway:

That's right, I'm a crazy bastard. I blew 2 Tarak Boots and DE Sandals. Please don't cry, everybody.

Also from the event:

oh yea, also got these 2 suckas awhile back, from before the event even:

both parties had the same people in them, but i shan't say who else got to be a part of those drops.

i have a ton more pics from the event, but that was so long ago these pics all just seem sorta... outdated. Just drops and stuff, and it's not like everybody hasn't seen it all before, so i'll just skip to the present:

GRATS NOOBS!

CP lvl 60
6oldenn6reek lvl 65

and thanks NC for the halloween event. It wasn't a particularly huge event, but....

well, i enjoyed it nonetheless

so that's all i've really got for you guys right now. I figured I'd post a few pics of myself though, my halloween costume was badass. There's nothing else Lin related after this, so feel free to skip it all if you so choose.

I'm the sexy Columbian druglord

don't worry, it's just powdered sugar! lol

and a few pics of me with various cuties

(my friend's gf, Brigitte)

(My friend Betsy)

(My friend Jen)

and a pic of me in my natural badass state.

take care and good luck all!

Peace Strikes Back

Mon, 10 Sep 2007 02:26:15 GMT

Damn, Peace... why you gotta lay it on NC like that? You're gonna make Merry quit....

Anyway, this is donk. I've been hella busy at work. Got a new job at a HS in Oakland with a 160+ students. I don't have time to tie my shoes in the morning... gotta do it on the road on my way to work. So, keep it real, peeps... maybe I'll come back in a few months... I doubt it... maybe next summer. I'll try to post some SSs at some point... whenever I get some time off. Merry, don't cry, Peace and I will get along fine without you,

Thu, 06 Sep 2007 21:57:02 GMT

I`m not taking over this shit this time....

Whats up?? hmmm I don`t know where to begin with, like title says I wont take this shit nemore. NC SOFT and their ppl keep trying to make the game "more interesting", so new GM in charge comes with more "amazing ideas" to do so, but guess just as his old friends and their brainless updates, he ends up screwing up da game.
This time our smart GM or whatever the charge is known is Fracas who Instead try making the game funier keeps ruining the fucking game moreeeee and moreee.
Back then myself have took another stupid updates that I haven not been agreed with...but right now I think they went too far, they complete fucked up this time. I`m frustated about what they have done to the mage I have worked my ass off to get her where she is right now, a mage that I built thinking on be a good char in the future... eating shit literally while lvling her w/o INT to the old DEP rules to get her where she is right now (ya I know right now with LOA rules set is easy to lvl a mage, but I did w/o them till lvl 54 and that shit took forever, yet I kept going)...for what??? to fucking cast HW every 300secs?? to being a worthless char on pvp on lvl65+ who wont be able to venz out not a single fucking person when It supposes not to work like that??...well TOTALLY CRAP. Well, this far I go, because Im tired of NCSOFT making updates:

#1. That none asked for.... like LOA rules set, who in the hell asked for it? if we`d wanted LOA we fucking would have played LOA from the beginning and not waste our times playing in a harder way, with less drops/stuffs and lvling hard, so the useless GM in charge at the time, one day would wake up happy and decides we had to get it on the easy way just like LOA, not mattering if LOA ppl were having easy from the beginnin.

#2. That are not needed...like this bullshit nerf on mages, because seems with NC`s logic several mages hurt while hitting the same target but several DEs shooting out critics (this ones not need to be high lvl to hurt) or several "good" Elfs doing triples arrows on same target (specially on mages) dont fucking hurt uh????? BULLSHIT! if ya wanted to fix the coi`s pk and the cleary destroy`s power (which Im aware of) I`m pretty sure ya could have fixed it on another way...like making only one destroy connect and then add some delay till next one success...adding longer delay on the pk coi´s detec out so the player has actually a good chance to make alive and hit venz, so if you dont do so then you fucking deserve to die....and maybe many others ways, I dunno, But why fucking mess with all mage`s attack spells?? Fracas do you actually fucking know what our char`s class name means???? M A G E S, we fucking NEED to use spells, we fucking NEED spells to hunt, we fucking NEED spells to fight...what the fuck is wrong with you??? think better before you do "fixes" on the game and stop following your ex-mates on the stupids things they have done to ruin the game.

#3. That are not really important...Yeah of course to stack HW for me a mage was annoying, those unexpected resets could hit our nerves.. but do I ask to every mage: do ya prefer the old way? or just this stupid thing like now and stack 300sec for 60mp?? aint this more irritating than before?..but yeah I guess in a long term we could get use to non-stack stuffs no more, but I repeat is THIS REALLY THAT IMPORTANT TO DO ?? I dont think so.

YET the real cancer, the real problem, the main fucking issue its still around. And what you do fracas? you and your useless workers need to start mattering and focusing on bots/hackers who are growing up their population more and more everyday and get not punishment instead doing this updates. Why you dont do a shit about it??? because they are lots and they pay lots of accounts and thats bussines for your company??. Or I`m the only one who thinks that detect a botter (mainly this one) out is so dam easy?? Why your brainless monitors cant??? why is so dam hard to see whos botting and whos not and fucking ban them alrdy??? why you dont do a shit about them???... quit making the game less playeable everytime with such fucking stupids updates. You guys made us think you actually do something about it, like putting a stupid /acusse command that doesnt do a shit but calm us down so we actually can dream that cheaters will be banned (thing that never happens, cuz if u acusse someone he will be there next hr, next day at same spot botting). But you know, you can keep all the cheaters and botters and let go the good players..I guess they can pay more accounts than me and than the others good fellas players.

I quit, I`m not paying something I am not satisfied with.... not saying I wont be back because I guess I`d be liying to you all and to myself if I say I wont...sadly I guess everyone comes back at some point to check out the game and to see if it has improved in some way. One live proof of that is that Imma keep my account, Imma keep my items. But I dont really see myself comming back anytime soon, but guess we will see and just the time will say so.

Just wanted to let everyone knows how I am feeling like, some ppl may share my thoughs some others not...whatever, I guess this is my last post in here so think what do you want.
I think I have made good peeps in this game and this is the most important at the end. They know who they are and I will try to keep in touch with them. Wanted to say Good Luck to everyone in game but mainly good luck in real life. I enjoyed the time merry allowed me to have in here with the posts, I tried to make them somehow entertainment for all the readers. hope it worked!!

And just one more last thing to say, I always pay 4months with credit card and Im only on the 2nd month since my last payment...but alrdy canceled my auto-payment on the credit card on PLAYNC account. So to resume all this, you still will see me around till november, after that my account will run out.

See ya all, and with nothing else to say but...

Post By: PeaceOut

Apologies!

Tue, 07 Aug 2007 15:54:07 GMT

I extend my apologies to everybody for my extended M.I.A.

Like most people, i think the event sorta burned me out a bit. I've been playing Diablo 2 with some of my college buddies. It's been fun....
Furthermore, I'm actually home in Houston right now for the week. I'll be back in Dallas on Saturday and then.... i'm not sure if i'll still be up for playing Lin or not yet. Maybe i'll finally post my event drops then though heh.

Also, i'll DEFINITELY be on for that xp event. Hellz yes!

That is all take care everybody!
