First of all - HOLY nuts! It's the GOAT! Kalypso is a name I haven't seen in AGES!
Jen may be the most-known player of all time, especially since NM had so many more players in its heyday!

Lol yep.

love the childish name calling you use as you throw around "senile old man" "drama queen" you can talk to people without insulting everything they say, might even be easier to talk to em. Just saying.

 

failed lol, he hit you once and you logged immediately. he wasnt desperate just wanted to pk, some people actually enjoy it.

 

If it was Varien, it was my mage, but it wasnt me I rarely pk.

best crit is kind of a shallow and subjective title to be honest
 
on one hand I tip my hat for someone accomplishing a certain level of power earlier in history
but at the same time? it means very little when you know the secret behind it
 
 
there have been so many "meh" rich people on main and 1A throughout nm history
 
I have personally made the climb on each server
so I have had the privilege of seeing just how bad most "rich" nightmist players actually are once I get to a level of wealth similar to them
 
once they can't auto win by having a 10 level advantage and stupidly out gearing I realize that mechanically I am just facing off against a senile old man with very expensive things and that they aren't actually good at the game
their movements are slow and their alt escs are weak
 
 
generally the pinnacle for these people was reached long before before better players played and before better crits existed
so they were allowed to hoard wealth and status much earlier than other players (which they then abuse by picking on the less fortunate)
 
the most iconic crits from each era of nightmist have always amounted to whoever happened to get something before other people
or whoever was on the best terms with the most people (questie inheritance/farming/bossing freedom)
 
old fart? a literal 3 or 4 stat mage that just happened to be in the right place/right time to be the only mage with devastate
bahashabeem? technically the most impressive 30 ranger ever
 
he had 312 hp (which is still the most ever) when the average hp for a 30 cap halfling is 278-289
 
were people afraid of him? nope
he was some random mello dude
he was average at the game and had like 2 or 3 arch crits
he also came from a nobody clan and had welfare tier gears
 
as a hypothetical experiment lets try this...
 
lets just pretend to paste a generic douchebag personality and make him a founder of TR or a similar clan?
then he could randomly 20v4 smaller players trying to get established then suddenly he would be "cool" and "feared" because he would automatically be in more boss/questie loot rolls and be allowed absolute freedom to train/farm
he also would be in the "cool kid" party that murders all the peasants in every mosh/event simply because of his status
 
lets go with an even more extreme example and randomly put that same dude in someone's "moose nm I quit" inheritance and he was running around with bracelets of speed and boots of haste
people would probably be spamming his name all over this thread
 
disjunction? first dude that happened to discover that a cleric or paladin and a cobalt automatically destroys anything else 1v1 because 90% of the server mained generic rangers with enchanted bow for some reason and no one had vamp lol
 
 
right now I could freely vomit 90% of the best questies in nightmist history on any character in my account and as long as they are level 40 they would objectively be the best of their class simply because I hold the culmination of 20 years of nightmist history
 
just rambling and food for thought I guess

Would have been easier to just say you thought bahashabeem was the best rather than show how butt hurt you are with this over exaggerated wall of text.

Thats why we are allowed our own opinion about who We Think is the single best crit is.

At least these players youre dumping all over probably didnt log off every time they see someone that might pk em. Lol

Nope - that's not fair. The 2nd page of Game Discussion gets there - so a very short tunnel.

 

For best crits on Main:

1. Europa - for general gameplay - have to hand it to him on the grind, which is NM greatness
2. Disjunction - for PVP - first one with Cobalt Staff of the Winds ages ago; so many event wins, etc.

 

I think we became less crit-aligned. So even great crits have passed around a lot over the years. I am sure there are better stats, gear, event wins, and such on many current players' crits.

 

wow I remember that, I tried to solo pk Disjunction once, It didn't work out i had garbage gear/stats and no matter how much damage I did he vamped so much and did way more damage than me.

 

Best crits also probably comes from personal experiences on NM

 

For me on main it was probably Old_Fart lol

 

I played main til 2007 but I started 1a Way later in Late 2012 after a 5 year hiatus from NM, (Which was shortly after 1a lost a ton of active players from what i've heard.) so no opinion on 1a server.

Ew, nothing about a thief in this game is great other than landscaping Assassin Vines. Sad our best weapon is still a machete. Lol
