    Default Nexus War

    For those of you Urban Dead junkies, check out the Barhah at Nexus War! The game is based off of UD but different theme. Actually, we even have a Ridleytown Resistance Front. Bringing the BARHAH! to NW.

    So... I was wondering if anybody else played? I've got three characters:

    Testtube - a 29 Elementalist - Ridleytown Resistance Front
    Death's Aspect - a 27 Seraph - Ragged Philanthropists
    A Wandering Traveler - an 18 Myrmidon - Pirates of R'lyeh

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If anyone's interested, I can point out the subtle differences between Good, Evil and good old Barhah style Neutral.

    I've been playing for a little bit more than a year. I've donated, so I've got 10 characters.

    Aeron Greyjoy - level 30 Elementalist, Salty Dogs
    Angrboda - level 30 Void Walker, Oblivion Squadron
    Bob the Eternal - level 30 Revenant, Hoodie Ninja Pizza and Subs
    Simon Fench - level 30 Advocate, the Faithful
    Cnaiur urs Skiotha - level 29 Divine Champion, High Knights of Liberation
    Sergei Goldberg - level 29 Nexus Champion, Edgetown Original Gangsters
    Melisandre - level 23 Dark Oppressor, Murder Inc.
    Anomander Rake - level 12 Sorceror, Grim's Hideout Regulars.

    the other two are still mortals.

    (Yes, I do read a lot of fantasy novels. 5 of those 8 names are from novels)

    Anyway, it's a lot more complex than Urban Dead, which is both a good thing and a not-so-good thing. In addition, the fact that the sides aren't really defined (and most people have alts on both sides of any conflict) can lead to some out-of-character nastiness.

    Just recently me and my level 5ish mortal joined the DEM in Nexus Wars. And no, we're not morality policing.

    Ouch we've been hitting you guys at Murder Inc quite hard recently :P.

    Sorry I missed this, but

    How's the revenant? I've got my myrm working it's way up and I was considering going Rev...
    Revenants are a real glass-cannon class. At night, they can dish out absurd amounts of damage (mine does 31 damage on a critical hit w/ blood frenzy, 19 normally) with a very high hit rate. However, they don't get any innate armor like Eternal Soldiers or Nexus Champions do, and they can't cast Turtle Shell, so they're stuck with mundane armors and potions for defense. Also, due to the day-night cycle, you're only effective half the time (as you get none of the Rev's nighttime bonuses and substantial penalties, so you're actually worse than you were as a myrm). If you schedule your playing right it's not a problem, but it can be an annoyance.

    I have Pravus, a Myrm in the Pirates of R'lyeh whose about to hit Revenant, Don Quixote (I'm kinda suprised I managed to snag that name) a Defiler in The Claw (leveling is pretty hard in Stygia, but at least they're next to a library) and Catweazle, a Raggedy sorcerer.

    The whole Forgotten City thing was pretty fun, though it's put a dent in my crafting.

    I'm a fairly new player- I just got my first character to tier 2.

    Grevane - Lv 10 Defiler - Oblivion Squadron
    Matthias Rosegate - Lv 8 Mortal (Going for Myrmidon) - Riddlytown Resistance Front
    Kethief - Lv 7 Mortal (Myrmidon or Paladin) - Currently Factionless
    Just another souless construct out for world peace and harmony.

    ((Yes, I'm aware that this is horrible necromancy, but better than starting a new thread, right?))

    I just joined, it's pretty fun. I have a character called Captain Svensgaard, and decided to make my own faction just for hoots (the Nautilus Pirates: a carrot for anyone who gets the reference.)

    Fun game so far, but the demons and evil creatures breaking into random buildings and slaughtering you can be a bit upsetting .

    The whole point is to kill each other. Expecting to be safe anywhere is foolishness.
