Nope, it is not an illusion brother :hugs:.
After i got defeated and lost both thralls i started speaking on the psn chat with @jmk1999 . I released my steam from frustration with John and i wear my light dragon bone, build full agility, full vitality, 15 grit, 5 expertise , Tulwar shield and 20 jars with materials to make them bombs. I didn’t knew that i will find more bombs inside. I haven’t watched so far any hint or video, i wanted to explore it my self.
So i scout carefully the build and i saw the sloped walls, i understand at once the weakness of anticlimbing. I started killing outside the walls in the perimeter and i finally find a way to jump in and save my self some jars. I didn’t made it to the first jump, but because i was scared and clumsy. So i jumped again after clearing a little more agro and i am in without breaking the first entrance. I wasn’t afraid to die, i was alone and i could retrieve my body with sorcery anyway.
In there the agro was massive so i climb to the first sloped roof i find, down the npcs were many, so there was only up :rofl:. For some reason the archers were extremely goofy, so i took the chance and climb to the sloped walls and there i am on the walls between 2nd gate and third. I scout a bit, prepare 4 jars and i jump down. I start killing, and running to the gate to place a jar, light it and escape again. The carts seemed a good place to go up, heal and take a breath. They had bombs inside, so i knew that in the second round i will use these, o won’t spend my own.
Million times said, this game has a pvp that favors the naked bombers, so here i am, not naked, but flexible as a naked one, to go place a bomb, ignite it and go back to the cart and repeat. After a few minutes the gate will break, so now i had to fight and clean this area before i proceed to the inside. Tulwar is a freaking beast, and hammers and great swords break on shields helplessly. They died swift so there i am inside and a small mini with a small group awaits ti die, so they did. As i am inside i look back and i see no other npc coming anymore. So i place a jar in a door and poof, i am on the first floor. The same wave waits there to die and they did as well. Another jar and poof i am on top floor. The boss with 2 only now, bliss. Mission completed the horn sounds, victory. I start loot and i go over encumbered. I didn’t care, if i die i summon my body and gain my loot, no big deal, so now i walk like a turtle and start breaking doors with my jars to look around. Nothing important, let’s go out the main building. There 2 guys waited for me, i raze my shield block and lights, block and lights take them down. So i started wondering around for about five minutes, going in rooms that i didn’t in the beginning. The spawns i was killing, were obviously spawns, not existed patrols. Finally i get in to a room that gives the battering ram. I grab this too, i go out new spawns. I kill these too but now i made my full round, i had nothing to see more and no intention to break the first two gates i didn’t break to enter, so i remove bracelet and summoned my body in my house. I empty my self, feel happy for the revenge i took, i buff my self and now i take a Musashi too.
Since i lost two thralls and the one was Marcos the Berserker :cry:, i had to train a new one. Hopefully this Marcos had you hair style, so i said, everything happens for a reason after all. I left Marcos to a fellow camp on another player that had 10 Berserkers full silent legion there, he was safe in this spot.
So i repeat the situation, way easier now and faster. I didn’t loot everything because i wanted to go back to Marcos. When i killed the boss it said, Your follower gained a lvl. On the way back i was whining, omg i was killing 10 minutes and my thrall just took a couple lvls. What a great surprise to return and see him lvl 20 :heart_eyes:.
My greatest disappointment became joy and for a minute i felt rewarded that i didn’t give up on it, or for my pvp experience. But after i think of it a bit, i went mad again. Because here we are again, praising pvp on pve servers and efforts. A couple days later i will read a comment of Dennis in here that was saying something like he respects pvp players more than pve…
And i said…
No sh.t, really? I couldn’t tell!
