Personally I don't think they are worthy of the effort to hunt, so I am glad they have decided to come to me en mass to save me the trouble.

just like little kids hoping for some reaction, its how they get their thrills in life, but i guess i wont sink as low as them

ill just say imo Okies are pathetic little children craving attention


NS4 Okie huntings parties sounds pretty damn good to me


And insulting them isn't sinking to their level? Self-delusion sure is grand, ain't it?

DV: On checking the player list... dood... i'm so eager to sign on when i get there i keep on forgetting that list is there, and besides... 1) that list changes as people log on and log off 2) There is no way that I'm going to write down people's names and levels 3) you are correct, it IS an exact way to note what level the players are... :wink:

Everyone else... as far as NS4 is concerned... please be ready to welcome the Okies and our Okie god in all our chaos and mayhem. We'll be there to welcome you. :twisted:

And please, for all your talk, all your bluster people still can't keep themselves from commenting when an Okie thread is started. People WANT to talk about Okies, you NEED to talk about Okies. I think this thread speaks for itself. 8)

uhm... no, most people dont write down every1's character build... but then again... we have this great thing, well i've heard of it, called a brain where we can store ""information"" so to speak. and, maybe, just MAYBE!? we can "store" the ""information"" of a characters level by "adding"(more on what this is at a later date, dont want to overwhelm you) the numbers of a characters classes together to get the character's total level.

ooooohhh yea i can just feel the creative juices flowing.

why are you all so bothered by the okie? sure, maybe they can be "a huge pain" but not truly that huge... It's not that hard to avoid these things, in fact i think, especailly Junksta and Billard here, love the okies. Why else then would they spend sooo much of thier time coming up with thier insults and reasonings to "defeat" the okies.

i dont think you guys need to put Billard as a priority to convert in NS4.. i think you already have him

oh yes; and modred... dont even begin to start about loose screws...

Thorst I think you speak out of turn on a matter that does not concern you! j/k - open forum say what ya want - I don't care.

But yea I get the okie thing a bit better now - just was not ready for it I suppose since I played North and Pac more. What I find now is precisely as Mz alluded to though - I am thinking of ways to adjust my builds to take into account such aberations as okies. Better than trying to figure another different build for soloing everything.

Anyway, I was more into finding out the reason for okies being allowed to do what they do unabashedly. Slightly different take than you portray Throst.

Personally, I think that the Okies are custom-made for the Shadow Legion. After all, what group in the FR is most hated and attacked on sight? (Yet looked upon with some envy by everyone else.)

Mz Shadow is even a DM/Goddess there.

However, considering one thing, I've been hearing lots of grousing about PP and Disarm on characters done by members of the same faction, and I think that, if possible, this ability should be removed from the members of some factions (in particular the NC, Circle, and possibly the LA.) After all, why on earth would a Paladin disarm a Cleric of Lathander?

What I have seen of the okies is nothing special. All they seem to be is a bunch of bullies. They started characters in the MA faction and basically they run around terrorizing the MA noobie zones relieving unfortunate noobs of their noobie weapons using the disarm bug. Usually you see 2-3 3 to 6 level okies beating up a 1st level MA noob. Then they yell in shout how they own the server :).

Not sure how this adds to gameplay. But i am sure someone will enlighten me.

Flame away ;)

i have to agree with thanos......

this kinda crap shouldn't be tolerate/have a system to have consequences in ns4 (which it does NOT).

i have never played with the 'okies' before having played on old north and west during my tiime in ns3....

playing in MA though for the last 2 DAYS, i've had my fill of them.
they disarm/pp, kill MA faction members while themselves are in MA without taking a faction hit (wtf?!?)

it's already challenging enough in MA to get a mob to spawn, and kill the mob as a caster, to have a okie beating down on you at the same damn time without any consequences at all.

they're like spoiled kids that never have to follow the rules......that should not be the case. this is a game yes, but this is not the 'okie' game. there are rules to follow not to grief on other people's entertainment.

btw, hostile actions against faction members should take a HEAVY faction hit. actions should have consequences.

With great power comes great responsibility.

This is why the Okies aren't very responsible in their interactions with others. :P

Thank goodness for the server wipe so we all start on the same footing again.

Okies are just another faction? Beware of who you make enemies with, this world is much wider than you imagine.

The MA will make a much more dangerous enemy than a few noobs on one server.

Wait for it.
