I'd like to hear how they explain undead having robots.

Ever heard of Phyrexians?

Those were way cooler though (and I think there was a bit of demon mixed in with them as well).

in your avatar, what's that guy shoving into the orange juice then eating it...eating?

Dunno, I think it might be toast.

Looks more like snail.[/quote:4ab34]

That's Bob Sapp. He eats sushi with orange juice.

Anyone find it annoying that people go after the Beastmen Leader, despite him/her being practically unkillable until all other beastmen generals are dead?

I absolutely hate people that do this. They also shout asking where the big "HNMs" are in Besieged, I guess they want to die to crazy AoEs and not ever kill them or something?

And its often the same people over and over who keep shouting about it. Yelling about {Magic} X {Attack} Gurfurlur only lolz. I had it today though....we're down to one general (mihli) and she's got killing claw, aerial torpedo, 2 scorpions, 2 wamoura on her. This idiot keeps yelling about get gurfurlur <pos> <pos> {Magic} X Then he shouts 'You'd think after 6+ months people would get that gurfurlur absorbs magic and learn how to do this right'.......I shouted back 'You'd think after 6+ months people would get how beseiged works and save the generals' suddenly he was yelling about targeting killing claw first!

I somehow don't think it will be a lasting change ~.~

If you mean killing any weird-named mob (like the troll puppetmaster with 3 buddies, and not your typical Troll Puppetmaster), then /guilty

If you mean -specifically- Mega Bosses, I avoid it unless the party is lame as crap.

I could care less weither it's a win or a lose. Lose access to EXP spots? Meh, I'll have fun in some other way i'm sure. But I'll tell you know, beating on something that has a funky ass name is a hell of a lot more fun than sitting around hitting the ordinary. I dunno, maybe it's just me (which it most likely is).

Nothing wrong with it though, losing is a matter of minutes to a day to get it back, it's no big deal at all... so I figure, if i'm gonna sit around for an hour, best make the best of it and actually try to fight something I dont usually get the chance to even look at, ya know?

I went on an exploration to Medusa once, least according to the sites and all, tried to get to her local. If you agro the first true sight mobs, by running all the way to the cliff where she supposedly spawns loses that agro, and you can take a peek at the NM summoner chilling down to the south. No medusa though :\ no fun.

All about fun. My top 3 things to do, in order, in besieged:

Find something with a weird name and beat on it/convince people to beat on it. For the extra EXP.

Find friends and just sing tons of songs for the hell of it.

Find mah buddy galka general and have a nice chat with him as he mashes stuff... man he's great.

Yes you're right, the NPC SE put in Al Zahbi explaining what they are must be lying.

Of course, I should take a single NPC's vaguely related line and apply it directly to this.
Your logic defies my entire world view, it is deserving of praise I could not in over one thousand years even begin to properly offer.













I'M BEING SARCASTIC!! :O

I have no fucking clue as to what in the hell you're talking about. But just in case, welcome to a RPG. Rumors from the townsfolk are more reliable than the Associated Press.

But the thing is what the NPC was talking about has probably nothing to do with the acrodudes.

We're talking about the mega bosses, its mentioned a few times =) Killing the secondary bosses is fine - because they die, wasting resources just to say 'darn we lost, but we got Gurfurlur to 96% this time!' is just stupid.

[Gerion]

Hammer-Go-Round and Drop Hammer are both AoE, at least in the case of Xirlorhur the Clavinger (sp). Also, Clavinger used Collossal Hammer, which I never saw hit, so don't know what it does or if its NM only.

The fact of the matter is you're all assuming they're automatons because they're metal.
Never mind A: no part of them looks anything like our automatons, B: the Troll Mercs are the automaton specialists, and C: they do not have a master counterpart.
Not only do I have no reason to believe the empire has constructed automatons any different from the ones we know of, but you're more concerned with likening them to other such robots and such to actually think of any other possibilities.
I am not saying it isn't possible, I'm not clear on how an automaton works, but if they have anything resembling a brain, I'm sure it could be washed, I'm just saying the only NPC that refers to lamiae and automatons makes no mention of them possessing the knowledge or the inclination to modify them in such a dramatic way, and I want something more solid than "They charmed them, alright."
So it's not even a rumor, what he's talking about did happen, but there's not enough of a connection for me to take the NPC's words for more than face value.

One person said something about them being a new type of qutrub.
Considering the gold and some bits of necklace, I think that's just as likely.
Qutrub are slowly wasting away and they like shiny shit, it's possible the remains of one was placed in a metal body to continue serving the Lamiae.
Was the body crafted from automaton parts? Maybe, but that doesn't make it an automaton (unless whatever's inside is controlling the outside like one, in which case it kinda is.)

i do the same thing to small and witty...


in fact i dint even read what i just posted. whos eating corn?

Actually, I see his avatar and I just know its going to be something retarded based on his track history, so I scroll down.. ;3

[Xfaustx]

lol >.>

so are the new NM's in besieged hard?

[Kuya]

lol >.>

so are the new NM's in besieged hard?

no, go touch them in various places

[Xfaustx]

on it.

It's also a good strat to save yourself, as well. If you run far enough, they'll forget about you so you can recover.

Yep, the whole "leash" Besieged mobs have- they'll deviate off their path, but only so far before heading back to where they intend to stand and fight. If you do it right, you can save Zazarg every time just by kiting mobs along their "leash" path, then breaking off and letting them forget about you- then loop back around and hit whatever's still bothering/newly spawned at the general. They won't run back to engage Zazarg, and he won't go too far off his starting point. Paladins are actually really nice for towing mobs this way- NINs tend to run into random AoE's along the way and get pasted.

[Sagacious Sundi]

I just realized Rughadjeen (sp) mentions something about a goddess in some of his dialogue... However, I can't recall any special goddess in the Empire's beliefs, just serpents, the serpent king thingy Zahak, a story about Alexander, and them "worshipping" their current ruler. Possiblities?: A) The goddess is the Empress, B) It's never said they don't worship Altana or some kind of goddess, (or it is mentioned that they do fit her in somewhere) C) One of the serpents is a female, D) Rughadjeen is not Al Zahbi-native (I forgot if this was mentioned in his quest), E) Plot hole, F) Something else.
