I finally died after about a week of playing.
Now trying to keep motivation to keep decedent character going.

You seem to be a mature person, and have a pretty good attitude, but you have had some bad luck, and have made some foolish decisions. I would suggest you find a village with experienced people to mentor you. Unless you really have nothing, you should never wander around in anything less than a cuirass, though plate is better. Not only for protection while fighting (swords will destroy you in one shot without armor) but to avoid getting shot with stones or arrows. Hopefully, someday you can look back at this time and laugh.

Yes, today i was foraging with my full explo alt and somebody attacked me on mountains near my village. I didn't start to run because i got a lag spike.
Then when i unlagged this guy disconnected, i walked toward him and killed with 50 uac in couple of seconds :D
Don't know if that guy was from ainran ( i don't think so) but it was pretty fun :D Without this dc i should be dead, but now i'am alive with ql 38 merchant (rest was garbage)

It was the most fun death, by far, of any game I have ever played.
It's cool that you tried, instead of complaining that the game is mean to you and stuff. 8-)

If it was some noob-ass griefer and you knew the combat system better, you might have even had a chance.

How did it go?
i was the villager that went with him, they sniped him with a sling (robben wasn't wearing enough armour) and then he got out of his boat (he's not smart clearly) so i got out of mine and punched him while he was moving with about 20 attack (i had lost some while he was stood still to check his UA and i had gone through well over half his defense with it) and did 60 damage to him, so he ran to his boat, i ran to mine and we had a chase, he ended up getting back to his village (called rapart and i think russian) but on many occasions he sat still and tried to aim his sling at me and i nearly broke his boat (i was our miner and had been playing on the character for about a week, so i had over 100 str... it was fun i'll admit
Oh boy, here I go cheesemaking again...

He hopped in his boat and we gave chase. Cornered him at a bottom of the lake, where it was like playing some weird game of pong that stopped him from escaping back up north.

and had a soldiers helmet (it was a bronze :P i've seen him a few times since)
i edited the quotes in case you don't know, sorry :P

My experience with helmets is next to nil, so I couldn't tell the difference. I checked the wiki, and I guess it would be coloration on the targeted ragdoll?
Still, doesn't change anything as far as my sling being potentially effectual, heh.

The lack of models on the wiki for this is unfortunate. In a couple of cases, yes, it could just be color, but some of the helms have a very distinct model.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

Heh, not one of us considering everyone pretty much has like 400+ UA =p. Neat story though, i wish people would attack me randomly more (which seems to have started happening now that i wear a necro robe instead of a leather cloak :lol: )

Maybe instead of fight and kill someone ask him to spar? Its still fun and nobody die in this process. Ye i know that theres no pain and andrenaline rush when u just spar, but believe me, its better for both sides :D
