TC on Factions Test Center invading LB Castle

All TC Stones (TC Chaos, TC Order, Team Goat, and the CV gug`ye) are now around the valley We still search a Cow Statue for the tower. Atm we bid at 2 actions for it. Be aware that everyone should give a contribute in getting the statue. :)

You see the YAM visiting the valley asking for Woods and Jins hand ;)

You can reach Woodstock now over Woodstock-TC@teamcow.com, although the old email also works.
There are 2 more teamcow.com email places free, maybe we should make a duel event for them :)

you see Julio fighting fearless enemy forces!

searched for a tc hq as magery was turned off in towns and it couldnt be expected that osi was fast this time.
actually they surprised by getting a client patch and turning on magery today again.
although magery works again in town we had 4 hq possibilites (the castle, zylyas 2nd large brick, the tc vendor 2story, and finally balaar came up with his 2nd tower which was best alternative to the not enough secured chests in 1 & 3 example. (2 was cool but tower is still better).

ok i didnt made a shot.. heres a pic of tc hq
. <---------------- there. the shot was made out of the orbit. (sorry its 5:00 in the morning)

First already these 2 stages, email and coming to bank let already many "guildjumping" ppl fell apart as its way too much energy spent towards a guild that they would be able to do. so at the end only 4 people of like 12 invitations came.
We gated to the Castle and begane some duels


you see Lady Nirax introducing the duel rules


but as the lag on ice island was horrible we gated to 2s where the duels continued.
after around 3 hours of duelling Nid Fuditaetsch/ELIAS former M&M;/SoA and Comet/Metoc former CSS were taken in their test-time. :)
welcome

Natan accomplished with Jin-A`s help this huge picture :) Moooo!

DS : nearly doesnt exists anymore.
DG : peaced after 3 days as chaos. switched now order.

on df the situation doesnt seems to be yet that worse.. besides.. did you noticed how many ppl got in last times bless deeds?..
as calandryl posted yesterday for the first time in dev board again, and was only on this point completly silent we hope that same measures and tactic will be taken like it was with SUN on SP. they have let them dupe until the logs were full and it could be clearly stated who got an item by error and who duped permanently. hopefully it will be not too late for the already inflated(by trammelgold) uo economy.

besides even if pvp would be "balanced" between fighter and mage after uo:r i have not seen yet any vanq +xx ebolt that i can bless.
if every fighter is going around now with blessed crap go figure wehre even runesbares wanna be balance goes.

besides i got a new email from jalek about client status on pvp crashes:

You know, I am working on them, I didn't ignore the bugs, but sometimes they
are not easy to fix,  especially when I can't reproduce them.
I have isolated a few crashes but have had problems reproducing some of the
others and I hope to have a new client up this week or first of next.
I know you are upset, but, try being a little more cordial, it goes a long
way. 
Insults help no one.
Thanks

Life would be much easier if I had the source code... 

PvP was tweaked massively and you will be of no use if having no clue at all about the changes. We tested some days before patch on test center many fights and combination so we began to shift our tmages some days before patch (when monsters had no enhanched pathfinding)

please note that atm we train team fight and duels a lot. its very important to participate :) as you wont be able to win anything with old tactics.

At ice Fiends

Dorijan crashed first while rel poring and died. Azmodan crashed, and died. Finally also Mr.White who was trying to get the heads and important things besides String and Professor X (Manga) died when an Avenger spawned on him.

Finally we have not to care if theres more Chaos than Order or old problematic since Chaos was not green anymore to each other.
While the skills of TC Order stone are compared to regular TC crap as we have not very finished brothers and sisters on it it apperently is sufficiant to our surprise to del with most problems. ;)

While it were many new TC's for our kind of taking applications, they all were at a time part of the old SoA.
If all goes well it may have the same effect like when the old Catskills SOL joined TC with Geordie first, (Gauron, Natan and Fredo later) one year before.
As it seems all goes well, as there are no signs of making two different parties in TC which would be more than contraproductive ;)

TG visiting "the wall" in decite

01-03.04/TC in test week, some fights & TG stone

TC in test week Cohen which most of you may know from old fights joined our ranks. His "Mentor" for integration in TC is Dorijan again :) Cohen joined with Cohen (go figure) and his char-brother? Ny'Alvad Welcome! Some Fights There were a lot of fights the last days as much order is out. At the moment the TC Order Stone is not important as the usual switchers changed to order, or just chosed to stay away from order/Chaos since the switching takes longer. WZ visiting us in Trinsic. Jyl was nice to leave them coming "alone" this time TG Stone The TG stone had technical problems which should be resolved today.

28.03/new TC's and Duels

new Cows Hi. After a long time we may introduce Luke to TC which was introduced to TC by Dorijan Grey. Kruse may join too introducted by BFG. Welcome in test week. This kind of joining is unconventional, although it may show to be interesting to use kind of a Mentor for new TCs. Julio is back on stone after having swapped skills. Delekahn is back to business after ending his test-phase in rl Duels (concerning new TC Test Duels) Phillip LaGuerre TC - Luke TC : 1 Phillip LaGuerre TC - Luke TC : 1 Dorijan Grey TC - Luke TC : 1 Dorijan Grey TC - Luke TC : 1 Dorijan Grey TC - Philipp LaGuerre TC : 2 Philipp TC + Delekahn TC - Dorijan Grey TC + Luke TC : 1 Dorijan Grey TC - Kruse : 1 ps sorry no pictures.. made the mistake to save them on the HD that is beeing remade out of images every 2 days atm .. :) The Meeting was moved in about 2-3 weeks. Espect more news and organisation after some icq talking. It will take place in Hannover.

15.03/a lot of

TC MEETING Part#2 After we couldnt manage the Meeting-Setup in Time (the time frame was very smell to organize it for the days when Hydras Appartment was free (without brother), it seems that we have exactly 1 1/2 weeks time to manage to set up a date for Essen. (a town in germany where i live). As my cousin drives in holidays my appartement will be also free so we could set up the things. if i am right we have the given time frame of 18 to 29'th which we could use for a 3, 4 or 5 day meet. All TC's will have to bring their PC's with them as my PC's will makes the ICS'Routers. As we had no problem getting with 3 people over 1 ISDN linke we can play with 6 people at the same time. You have to bring with you: Your PC, and some bedrolls/whatever you use to sleep. no kindlings please ;) So far following TC's wish to come: Balaar[Sweden], Natan[Sweden], Hydra (Gauron)[Germany], BFG (Phil)[United Kingdom], Imperator(Unforgiven)[Austria], Dorijan Grey (Costa)[Germany], and {Julio (heal-heal)[Germany], Paul(Frietwart)[Germany], Eisen (Sticky)[Germany], Vampire[Germany]} . as my appartment is around 56m2 the TC's in "{}" fell in if some of the first mention cant arrange to come (as they annoucned before comming), so that we dont get over a total number of 6 (including me). HOWTO's In the right Nawframe a link below the FAQ's is made to a HOWTO-Directory. Included is a file for old-tc's how to add news in the future, and some Howto's i dropped before. ps. note that i changed a linke in the howto-news faq. there was stated "you should tweak with that around (meaning news-archives. that was an error. i meant shouldnt ;) Some Fights some funny fights were hold in the last days. our stone is no longer buggy ! :) and we searched fun as the roleplayers we are through britain. Art thou seeking trouble? RPG Event Talking [more] most shots from Dorijan: in decite in decite in decite in decite in Jhelom in decite wit RPG Outift Event BFG had the idea to an interesting TC-Event. The Event consist of a kind of quest, many fights, teamwork, and a lot of brainstorm. Its still in planning, but it should leave the FOA-Revival Quest behind. :) At the last Trinsic Attack under the lead of the Order-Guard Dupre we were able to defeat the evil in their unholy caves. Full Story: Gathering Outside the Trins Town hall The Evil was Discovered Something goes certenly wrong here a lot of people is interested dont press allnames if you dont have to! :) The TC Order Stone is up and running Who wishes to place Char-Brothers/Sisters on this stone can be added now.

06.03/TC MEET, BOH Meet, some fights

TC MEETING yes for some surprisingly the underground plans for the 3d TC Meet in Hannover seem to get in the end phase. :) Although we planned to make this TC Meet in Balaars Inet Cafe in sweden, his con problems over his 2mbit line seem to be even worser than our prma-conlost lines. :) So far following characters will come: HYDRA (ex Gauron/Manga), Natan/MrWhite, Balaar, eisenugly/sticky/hustler, Nirax sister of Woodstock sister of Penelope sister of String. Although BFG wished to participate at the next meeting coming from UK we will have to check how it goes. Important things for the meet: We will not go to the greek restaurant again. BOH Meeting There is a BOH meeting in Stuttgart next days. Check their Website www.bithcesofhell.de if you wish to participate. we were invitated. some fights Therre were some fights in the last days. Order is very active and besides fighting with BOH we sticked together to get rid of them. visiting occlo part #39884 besides that there was some funny fighting with LaL .. yes LaL which showed to try all to step in the PvP steps of BhD trying to Noto etc with dragons. Tragically they died. TC sieging the LaL Hall besides that.. congrats to balaar ! hes the 4'th i see on df i think. : who can buy him a horse now ;)

03.03/CON,Trinsic & duels

Trinsic As always on the right side we still make major efforts to push the Trinsic attackers back to where they came. :) Hydra, Dor and Natan fighting the undeads not hesitating to use even LlamaEV's to kill them ;)) besides that we still have major Connection problems. Although that we decided to accomodate to that and make some backpacks ready for CL dying. As some guessed really right, for some its hard (including me) to die in cl.. some kind of proudness, hating to die on amateurs hands. News Pause is over. sorry for delay but i was working on HP (some scripts for a new forum) and updating my hardware here.. which of course took some nerves.
