towering

There is no formula for having a successful tower guild. There just isn't.

ehh I disagree here. Guilds that are spinoffs of umpteen howmanyever previous hat farming guilds tend to easily succeed because each cycle has the same 5-ish main leaders + previous cycle's members + the tower mutts who double/triple guild before deciding which to stay with + new noobs.

Guilds that dont have the support of a large towering community circle tend to struggle, even if they arent necessarily noobs. It's difficult to get enough good members, because everyone goes to the guilds they know will get 1k quickly.

He could do something useful with his time instead of wasting it in this ****

Don't know about you, but I play Graal / video games to waste time. Most people spend the rest of their day doing productive stuff, right?

A huge thing is to never blame everyone else if you run into trouble while you improve. You always look at yourself first.

Thallen 04-07-2016 01:12 AM

I'm not sure if there's a process to "improving" at towering. It's more of a social thing now, the current landscape of it isn't really competitive. You just need to join a guild with people you like at a tower you like. I don't really have any recommendations for you.

Getting better at sparring is all about just doing it and getting familiar with the sparring community and each player's tendencies. It's just a measure of how well you can control your character and react... It's not rocket science, the only difficult part is understanding stuff like directional weaknesses and blink.

He's been actively ****posting on these forums for the last 5 hours, ignore any of his self-conscious attempts to make it seem like he's better than anyone.

Friend slime on skype and kiss but all his members and for sparring just be like thallen and watch the persons movements in the beginning at a spar and find your way around it! ;)

The argument that Graal is a waste of time because you get bored of it is stupid. You could argue that any game is a waste of time, which in a way it is.

If you enjoy playing Graal then keep playing. If not then stop. Games get boring after a while. Graal is no exception nor should it be.

You're right, I expressed that wrong. Enjoy the game but only to an extent. Don't waste your time grinding, especially if you don't enjoy PKing or Sparring. It's a game, meant for enjoyment.

So treat it as a game, not a life.

And you claimed I was mad. Damn. Look at this awkward fanboy.

Your logic right? Anyone opposes you they're your fanboy?

Yeah like I said, I expressed that wrong.

Well that's not true. It's mainly just having a consistent, active, and not too horribly untalented Guild. Sub-Guilds are honestly a must because you have to try and achieve non-stop player activity.

That's at least what I've seen in my experience.

If you care that much about your statistics, by all means grind until you go blind and those thumbs go numb. Not really anything amusing in Classic once you've accomplished everything and made friends.

Asaiki 04-07-2016 03:36 AM

Just play a lot ;-3

InvalidA 04-07-2016 04:30 AM

thanks guys :) I have been teaming up with skyeatsplane to help out when I'm on and as for sparring I'm working on a tactic that has people stumped.

Yeah, if you're lucky enough to be the guy selected to be the leader for the next 1k. While you could join for 1 1k, and then immediately get to do yours, often it doesn't seem to work that way. It seems like whomever the main leaders are decide which guild, and it often seems to be a personal friend.

What I meant by "there is no formula" was more elaborated on in the next two sentences. I meant there was no easy/quick way to have a successful tower guild.

But yeah, could have used a different word.

I'm approaching 5 years of Graal and I must say it gets very boring. Probably Graal is my most played video game ever, though, so they did something right to be able to manage that.

Do what you want. Do what is fun. If Graal looses its interest for you, there is nothing wrong with that. Find what is fun so you don't regret wasted time.

If learning how to spar well doesn't bring happiness to you, don't do it. If farming doesn't make you happy, don't do it. If towering doesn't make you happy, don't do it.

If it does, however, bring you happiness... do. it.
