Ultionis.net Staff

Ultionis: If I can recall correctly you played Lineage II since prelude and were a member of quite a few clans (Lotus, Warcry, Purgatory etc). Are you still playing? What made you stay in game for such a long time?

Redviper: Mostly I stayed around because the people were fun to hang out with. I don’t play anymore, haven’t for about a year or so except for a short stint on bartz.

U: You made yourself well known in many ways in Lineage II. One being taking screenshots of you alive with 9 dead Dynasty members. Was it important for you to get well known amongst the community and are any means to get there ok?

R: It was a long time ago and I think we did it as an in joke. Nothing really special tbh, and I did always think that I was more famous for my legitness

U: I disliked you and Canedra equally. Who would win a fight between the two of you?

R: Definitely me. Cane sucks! Plus I’d be playing Kaycer and no one can beat Kaycer!

U: I always claimed that you and members of Purgatory in general were very good solo pvp’ers but couldn’t pvp in group for shit. Any truth to that or did your enemys simply have better groups (archer vs. mage)?

R: It was a mixture of both. We never did have many support classes and Purg was a bunch of independent minded people. I wouldn’t blame being mages on it. We just didn’t care enough I think. Although I think at our height our best group was pretty good as a team. But yeah we all did love solo pvp (or small ganks) compared to lag fests.

U: We (as in Dynasty, Covenant) have been questioning Purgatorys, p00ts and other enemy clans legitamacy. Whats your take on Covenant and Dynastys legitamacy?

R: Purg was super legit!

Actually we never did think that Fate (and I guess Titans – we didn’t have much of an opinion on Ultionis) was very legit. Overall I am sure the legitness was probably more a case of propaganda instead of any intrinsic quality of the clan. Ofcourse now that those days of rivalry have passed both sides have a much better idea of what was going on.

U: Some of the most epic fights I have had ingame has been with Warcry and Purgatory. Altho we were awesome and all…those were the fights I thought I was more likely to lose than to any other alliance or clan. I guess that those clans and alliances were sort of like an archenemy to me personally. Who was your archenemy in Lineage – clan and/or player?

R: I’d say Fate was pretty much my arch nemesis. If I had to pick a player I’d say Oni or Choda. I have an undying hatred for daggers! Or Smoked.

U: What is next for you in terms of gaming?

R: Nothing really. Lineage was the first and last online game I played. MMOs take way too much time and I don’t have enough these days. Maybe if they merge servers I might play again for a short time.

Here we go with more videos, the new poll will be up shortly! Have fun watching and vote, vote, vote!!! Remember that you can messagge me ( via email or msn ) if you missed any fraps and i’ll arrange a way for you to get it :yes:

Moving to the main content:

Fraps #1

Pov: Sorgsen

One of the few fights by sorgs, he’s pretty static and that’s what i don’t like about this fraps but he does his job ( smashing keys anyone ?^^ ); you can see agan getting cancelled at the beginning ( as usual ) and getting rebuffed midfight by spires ( not in group ). Very good job by the healers, even tho i don’t think the enemies had CoV, so you could have done that with only one good healer!

Fraps #2

Pov: perclo

This is my PoV as you can see i own. Anyway first fight was easy, i was still using the “anti-dagger” Yaksa mace |-| ( what a noob lol ) but we had a pretty good group compared to theirs. Second fight is one of the funniest i have ever frapsed; i die straight away ( damn bug that turned to est everyone casting on themselves – you can see that in the beginning – giving no shield defense at all ) but fortunately Tio saves the day! PS: in the fraps you can see Caveat talking way more than he used to, that’s because it was sorgsen ( keyboard smasher © ) , and that’s also why the character Sorgsen totally sucked in that fight ( nancyboy was on him ).

Fraps #3

Pov: Morrolan

I just love morrolan’s pov, playstyle and quality; first few fights ( perclo, Agantara and Morrolan ) were just too funny to play as you can clearly see a TH ( agan ) owning archers like nothing; i am gonna have to say that they were pretty unbalanced levelwise. Mid-part of the fraps is just crazy i have nothing else to say about that; the last fight was kinda zergy but you still can see some surgical healing ( from my side ) and some uncoordination from the enemies ). Hope you enjoy this week’s poll! See you next week! PS: last week fraps will still be up for a few days so hurry up if you want them!

Ultionis: Refresh my memory please – You were a member of the quite large alliance SPQR before creating your own clan Bloody Pirates? In what chronicle was Bloody Pirates created and which where your friend and enemy clans at that time?

GordonGreedstein: I don’t exactly remember what chronicle it was but it was shortly after World of Warcraft was released. If I remember correctly, from the very start we were fighting (or more accurately, getting killed by) Fate/Ultionis, who were generally much higher level than we were. I seem to remember getting killed many times in Dragon Valley Cave . I don’t think we had any allies or friendly clans at the time. But we did form alliances/friendships later on.

U: What did Bloody Pirates have that you could not get in SPQR or some of the other alliances around at that time?

G: The clan was created in backlash to membership in Hiro’s alliance. He was a nice guy but had way too many rules that interfered with our enjoyment of the game, so we left to form a clan without such rules. The only rules were to help our friends and @$#%^ everyone else! Otherwise, you could do pretty much what you wanted even if it wasn’t very “nice.”

U: From my point of view Bloody Pirates was made up of cocky soloplayers. Any truth to that? If so, how was it to lead a group of such people?

G: Hmm. I don’t think I would describe our members as cocky but we did have a lot of players who were not inclined to take direction from authority figures (allied clan leaders, alliance leaders) that were outside the clan. Our members would often challenge “orders” that they thought were foolish and this could be a challenge to managing the external political aspects of the clan. As the Captain, you have to balance these conflicts carefully otherwise you are going to have a mutiny!

Internally, in many ways, the members of Bloody Pirates made them easy to “lead” – because they usually took initiative to accomplish things on their own and they had a high degree of collaboration with each other. In some other clans, I think players might depend more on leaders to give them instructions but that was largely unnecessary in our clan. People took initiative and worked together very well. The main challenge, internally, was to mediate disputes between strong personalities who sometimes didn’t get along.

U: Any regrets? What would you have done differently if you could start all over in prelude?

G: My main regret was to start as a dwarf. The class was very enjoyable, but was severely handicapped with respect to participating in the PVP that ultimately proved to be at the center of the game. In order to participate, I had to completely reroll. Other than that I don’t have any regrets.

U: You played a warsmith as your main character. Were you serverfirst on any crafts? Did you have loads of money?

G: My main character was originally a Bounty Hunter, so no, I didn’t have any server first crafts. However, our clan did have two of the first S-grade weapons (they were drops from Antharas). One was a Saint Spear. I don’t recall what the 2nd was.

I made a lot of money, from raid drops and from severely exploiting the manor system. I did not have loads of money because I used the money to equip the members of the clan as best I could. I never had overenchanted weapons, epic jewels, etc. of my own.

U: What clan or players did you most enjoy to have as an enemy in Lineage II and why?

G: Having the strongest clan/alliances on the server as opponents was the most challenging aspect of L2. However, the most fun enemies to fight were the players and clans that were most evenly matched to our own power and abilities. So I would say TheInquisition (Wrathmore’s clan) and xxTitansxx were our most enjoyable enemies.

U: Damnit, seems like I have to break my seven question rule. Your nine players vs. my (Ultionis) nine players. You get to chose the line up – who would it be (on both sides)?

G: Haha. That’s a great question. Since you said players, I can choose without regard to classes, so :

BP Team: Indadark, Areondell, FlamingTurd, Sangias, Mersin, ArtisticMayhem, Nahksuirebit, Tsarvadim and Raveloft

vs

Ultionis Team: Agantara, Sorgs, Silentshade, Nancyboy, Smoked, Estalia, BlizzardH20, Dez, and Perclo

U: Does Bloody Pirates still live? What is your/Bloody Pirates plans for the future in terms of gaming?

G: Technically, it might still exist on Devianne or whatever server Dev merged into. I transferred to Bartz but I don’t play anymore because I don’t have the time (or the interest) that it takes to advance through the content beyond level 79. And the politics aren’t that made Devianne fun aren’t there for me.

I would like to play Lineage III if that ever comes out, but I would prefer to have the easier job of being a clan member rather than a clan leader. I haven’t found any other game that holds my attention like L2 did.

Ultionis: You are an old school Lineage II player. What are you doing these days when it comes to gaming?

Jado: I quit L2 about a year ago, these days I spend my time rooming the online poker tables making millions of dollars. Oh and I play the occasional game of Starcraft, my first and only true love!

U: Jado, your silverranger character on Devianne, was quite well known during the time you played. What many people might not knowis that you played a Dark Avenger, Nimixes, when the game was first released. Given the choise today what would you have rather played and why?

J: Hmm, probably neither. Although if I had to pick I would still go for the SR, I had a lot of fun abusing the speed and playing an archer in pvp was very fun. Although I would have loved to do Olympiad on a DA in the later stages of the game. L2 has a lot of fun classes, I liked my sws and bishop a lot too. Just depends on the mood

U: You had quite a long and unusual Lineage ‘career’. You started out as Nimixes on Devianne, then you went to Teon and powergamed there for about half a year, just to come back to Devianne as Kells and later Jado. You recently asked me – Looking back, would you do it all over again?. Now the question goes back to you.

J: Yep I certainly would! I had a lot of fun getting lost in the magical world of L2 and neglecting my real life for this game, although I do think I would have tried to balance things out a little better! But I still haven’t found anything that comes quite close to the feeling I, and I’m sure you too and many others used to have when we first started playing L2 and discovered everything about the game. Good times indeed!

U: You were quite high level early on in the game and member of one of the ‘best’ clans at that time, Prophecy. From that point of view, what clan and possibly what players would you have thought to be dominating the server later on?

J: Well it became quite clear early that Morlek would have a big influence on the game, he was a very dominant personality on ventrilo and seemed to be smart in dealing with people and situations that arised. I also of course knew that Sorgsen would be the best player ever to show himself on the battlefields of Lineage 2! These answers seem very obvious, but looking back it just stood out since the beginning, that you two would come far in L2 if you kept playing.

U: I will have to ask you the same question I did Agantara, who was the all time best pvp’er and which clan was the most outstanding on Devianne?

J: All the time best pvp’ers.. that’s a tough one. I thought Agantara himself was quite good, and seedkun always impressed me also. But maybe that’s just because his class was overpowered. Even though many might not respect him KakaoGR deserves mention, he was a very tough opponent.

U: So what is next, what game do you see yourself playing during 2009?

J: Well, hopefully Starcraft 2 if it comes out! I’ll be willing to give another MMORPG a try and will do so if anything comes along, but I’m not really set on playing any of them just yet. Maybe the games can surprise and be so good that I just can’t say no.

U: What is the main feature in that game that makes you want to try it out?

J: As a long time Starcraft fan I have anticipated SC2 for a really long time. If anyone doesn’t know about SC, it’s a super deep strategic game which is kind of similar to chess. The strategies, options players have and the skill that it takes to master the game, is the reason I just never really lost interest. Hopefully SC2 will be equally hard to master and of course the e-sports scene for it will be huge.

Ultionis: You are an old school Lineage II player. What are you doing these days when it comes to gaming?

Slycutter: I play L2 some, I tried Warhammer but it was like a WoW clone almost and the pvp was not as promised. I also play a lot of Xbox live, Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty 4, and Gears of War 2 (if they cant fix the shitty party matching)

U: There has been alot of talk about you and katanas on orphus and l2blah. What is the deal with that?

S: It is how I made money back in C3, it was so bad I sometimes had several sets of katanas being sold at the same time, highest was +14 I made. Was around the greek invasion time so they had a lot of adena to spend and I was more then happy to take it.

U: From what I can remember you played Lineage I. Care to tell us some about that – in terms of your role on the server and what character you played etc.

S: I was a prince (in L1 clan leaders were an actual class so you started the game as one was kind of a different take) and a lead medium size NA clan on I think Dep server been so long. It got over run with Chinese people and real life came into account so I pulled the cord, since a prince needs to run a clan, I did not want to reroll so I just quit.

U: In Lineage II you chose to lead and stay in a smaller clan Wretched OutKasts. Through all the chronicles in LII there must have been other options, other clans or alliances to join. For what reasons did you stay in a small, maybe not as competetive clan?

S: It felt like home. I played a lot of Mmorpg’s many clans are just a means to an end and no one really feels obligated to anyone in the clan. In a game like L2 I think we can all agree that its the people that make the game not the game.

U: I am going to ask you the same question I did Agantara. Who is the all time best pvp’er and which clan is/was the most outstanding clan on Devianne?

S: Whoa all time thats a tough one, there are few people, Smoked, Methoz, Platinumdrgn, Polti, Reason, and MikeOson. Clan I would have to be one of three old clans, original Glory with Loom Reason MikeOson Robynne Tommyboy etc. all the same clan, the Fate/Ulti combo and the Titans clan before they broke from Dynasty.

U: Alot of guesses has been made on l2blah on the true identity of PkMastablasta. Do you sit on any inside information?

S: Yes but I can’t reveal my sources.

U: What game do you see yourself playing during 2009?

S: I may try DarkFall, Aion seemed good but now I am not sure. Too many MMORPG have disappointed me in the last year though, so may just take a break and play my Xbox. Plus Dawn of War II, SCII, and Diablo III coming out might have me tied up too.

As you can see i just posted 3 Frapses, this will mostly like happen every week ( if i don’t forget it ) and the three videos will be replaced with new ones at the end of the week. So if for any reason you miss one of the videos, you could pm me and i’ll reupload them.

Anyway for this week:

Fraps #1

Pov: Agantara

This is a pretty old video, quality is pretty bad and it’s also poorly played but i kinda like it.

Fraps #2

Pov: Nepito

Just a random video, nepito just sucks as an archer and everyone knows it.

Fraps #3

Pov: BlizzardH2o

I like the music and the rendering, maybe fights aren’t that good but it’s fun to watch! See you next week! PS: the host isn’t that fast, so don’t blame me!I can’t do anything about that for now!
