Chapter 28

"Seven, eight - exhale. Take a break, and again - hands slowly upward, one-and-two-and, stretch, inhale, stand on tiptoes, hands smoothly to shoulders - three-and, four-and. Exhale."

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 18:34

The course of exercises that I did in the morning instead of the usual push-ups and squats seemed to be oversimplified. Very simple movements, minimum exertion, nothing like my usual warm-up, but still I felt that I was warming up, and without any drastic movements or jumps.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 18:35

"Now kneel down, like this." Exercise continued. Twenty minutes, shower, shave, breakfast.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 18:40

Thoughts of yesterday's completion of the quest would not go away in my mind.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 18:41

What do the classes that never opened heroics have in common? Complexity.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 18:42

And what does a player do when he realizes that a class is too hard? He looks for a group. "Creators" focus on the group, on society, and the help of friends, while I, on the contrary, play in the style of "lone ranger" to the point of not revealing the nickname.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 18:43

Maybe that's the point. Classes are weak so they bought a boost or looked for help in the guild. That's why they flew past the quests of the initial zones too quickly. Heroic is known to get by doing a long chain, and what's a chain without a starter quest? Then everything becomes clear ... although, it can not be that no one has not noticed anything, especially at the beginning of the game when everyone was actively looking for hidden quests and generally studied the world trying to get even the smallest superiority.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 18:45

I once again called up the list of known paladin scenario quests.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 18:45

First: "Salvation of the Soul of the Warrior" - the evil has enslaved the soul of a warrior from that army that once went after its leader. Starts at level thirtieth, the soul is summoned if the conditions in the dungeons from the thirtieth to the fortieth level are met. Put a tick, I need to check what kind of dungeons and how they relate to the plot of the quest. The reward for the liberation of the soul - a magical essence, increases the effect of paladin abilities when applied to a shield or sword. Does not disappear when used, and can be applied to different items, but the recharge is fifteen days, the lifespan of a normal weapon when actively used.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 18:55

"Search for a Document" - are known to search for a book, a note, a tombstone inscription, and so on. A copy is taken and carried to the temple, and joyful NPC gives a reward - usually a one-time increase in faith.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 18:57

"Battle with the Renegade" - one of the ministers betrays the temple, the traitor must be found and punished. The reward is a point of faith, sometimes armor with good stats and the flag "for paladins only".

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 18:58

And the last - "Search for a New". Performed less than a hundred times, as it requires finding a new dungeon. That is a new dungeon that has never been completed by anyone. After obtaining the achievement the paladin returns to the temple, reports, and gets a huge pile of reputation and a new rank. Now, this already looks like a stepping stone to the heroic class, but none of those who completed it got the next quest.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 19:01

I sighed.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 19:01

Well, okay, Vova: still, no matter how much you drag this moment out, you have to decide what to do about the Virt bug. Yesterday I used it once, but it instantly did three times as much damage as my hardest hit. What would a normal person do? Contacted game support, reported it, and received deep moral satisfaction. Do you believe that? Rather use as much as he could, and then sell the secret in real life.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 19:02

The top guilds use modules all the time. Can it be that their players are so inquisitive?

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 19:02

"Comp, search. The words "creators of destiny", "account ban", "virt", "modules"."

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 19:04

Permanent account ban to all players of the top guild "Avader". The use of the ability to put several items of equipment on a character in one slot. Revealed on the second day of use.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 19:07

Purge the accounts of three hundred players who learned how to bypass monsters in dungeons, going straight to the bosses. All were visitors to the same forum, and the exploit was discovered on the third day.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 19:08

Permaban, purge, removal, blacklisting, even criminal prosecution - for selling items created by a specific spell while using a virt. The most recent news was seven months ago. The longest use of the bug is five days. Well, there's no way that I alone guessed to check how virtual weapons behave when confronted with virtual armor! At high levels of the day without a fight between two players, would have long understood!

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 19:09

Contacting support means attracting attention to the account. Checking the logs, taking an interest in my progression, and hello, in the best case scenario - zeroing of the character's parameters. They probably won't touch the rings left on my account, but it's still unpleasant.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 19:10

Not to report? So if I were the developers, I would put a tracker on every such use of the "undocumented ability to penetrate any armor" and check the smart guys.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 19:11

It's a fork, though. Why did I do that in the first place? I was saving the exorcism in case Jago decided to kill me. Then I would have stunned him and gone into melee while Gdag and Alric held the boar. But why didn't I spend the arrows? Save it? Yesterday it seemed like a good idea to get the mercenary to play on our side until the end, preventing him from failing the quest... though yes, without his help the three of us wouldn't have been able to take down the boar.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 19:35

Okay, I'll try to solve the game problem with game methods.

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 19:35

After calling back, I checked with the courier about the delivery time for the second glove. I missed it yesterday, so I ordered delivery in the evening. Oh, they're cashing in on me, aren't they? Never mind, I'll get mine. What should I do in the meantime? Maybe watch a movie?

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 19:39

I took the glasses, twirled them in my hands, then put them on.

Camrad_RIP 15.11.22 в 11:42

Seven years ago, augmented reality glasses appeared. They not only show a virtual monitor but also impose a picture on the real space. However, not too much, without being connected to a computer. Three years ago the first models came out, scanning and displaying emotions and tracking the movement of larger objects, albeit weakly. So in a year or two, my virt could be scrapped.

Camrad_RIP 15.11.22 в 14:17

"Comp, fire in the glasses."

Camrad_RIP 15.11.22 в 15:03

The room lit up, lights flickered, curtains flickered, and the wallpaper got covered in scattered specks of sparks.

Camrad_RIP 15.11.22 в 15:04

There is no smoke, although it is present in the training videos. Useful thing, mandatory for fire safety drills. I myself pushed it in the company. In schools, it shows very clearly how to act, how low the smoke is, and how quickly seemingly non-combustible objects catch fire.

Camrad_RIP 15.11.22 в 15:06

All of this is an illusion, though. It seems real to us, but somewhere deep down, we believe more and more in the illusory nature of everything around us. Maybe the reason for the popularity of all these games is immersion in a fairy tale. Ten years one megaproject after another failed, even began to think that the era of online RPGs was gone, but then the glasses appeared, and like mushrooms popular games began to appear at once; the same "CoDs", for example, initially stood out only for the function "full use of emotions and socialization of your character", there is even no function of setting the character image - takes the real face and slightly corrected for the game race. It's much better than the real thing.

Camrad_RIP 15.11.22 в 17:10

So, indeed, soon half of the population will go to the illusionary worlds. And the other half will work to feed the first half.

Camrad_RIP 15.11.22 в 17:10

"Comp, the launch of the Creators of Destiny!"

Camrad_RIP 14.11.22 в 19:39

While the second glove is being brought in, I'll have time to deal with the routine.

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 18:51

Before I entered the sanctuary, I hesitated. If I'm wrong, then... I'll start looking for a real job, not just sending out a dozen resumes. There's nothing to be afraid of, we must act!

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 18:51

The priest at the altar turned and renewed the blessing of the temple without reminder.

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 18:52

"Good morning, brother paladin. A new day, new feats?"

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 19:11

"It's more of a new hassle." Now, since you clearly have the function of teaching the rookies, you must fit right in. "Tell me, brother, can one who walks under Her luminous hand be dishonest?"

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 19:12

"It's a complicated question. No one is infallible, sometimes there are difficult situations and difficult choices. It all depends on the degree of unrighteousness and whether or not you set foot on that path again."

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 19:13

"That's how. That's pretty much what I thought. Well, the way implies a choice, doesn't it?"

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 19:13

"Yes, brother paladin. The main thing is not to make a mistake or persist on the wrong path."

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 19:20

I bowed and went out. If you put aside the wraps, the noobs are told not to use known bugs. But you don't have to report it either. Well, the ritual act of washing one's hands is done - the player found out about the bug, the player asked the tutorial, and the player no longer used the bug. I'm in the wrong position for a bug buster, hurry up slowly. And what's the rush? So I'll consider that the conscience is soothed.

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 19:22

Back in the barracks, I took up drawing, trying to strike a balance between speed and precision in making the scrolls. In twenty minutes, I got two sixth-level blessing scrolls and one fifth-level blessing.

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 21:07

I got out in the real world, looked at the article on "masterpieces," and wondered. If you don't use a tablet, you can only get something exceptional by using expensive reagents, such as "silk paper," which is made by artisan weavers and gives a plus of eight percent to skill. The chance, if the article was to be believed, was in the neighborhood of three percent. I could more or less plan the rank of a masterpiece by selecting the ingredients. On the other hand, it cost me nothing, and the yield was still the same three or four percent. Until spells of rank three or higher were available, it was not profitable for me to use expensive reagents; no one needed such scrolls at such a price.

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 21:11

By the way, what do I have on my chart for spells?

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 21:11

In the Crypts is one, captured. Misty Field, which has already been, - a random choice, that is, you have to guess. There each monster is unique. Slow Streams tract - "Fog Mark" of the first rank, reduces the defense of the target. Destroyed Temple - "Canopy of Darkness" of the first rank, good shield against any light or elemental spell. Lasts only ten seconds, though. The Negrin Catacombs are a great set! Fire Ray, Mana Shield, Soul Exchange, and even a rank two Inferno. But I'm not quite there yet. It's a shame.

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 21:14

I decided that for now, I would use the capture on any monster I could find in the Mist Field, just to see if I could get lucky. And at level twenty I'd try to go somewhere to expand my arsenal. I pump, judging by the past three days, two and a half times slower than a normal player, even with all the modules and buffs, so that time can be spent on filling the book of spells, which also affects the quality of the character.

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 21:16

I was just finishing handing over the scrolls to the Khramm when the doorbell rang. The courier, a young boy in his twenties, clearly recognized my harness and squinted at the scabbard while I checked the delivery, but said nothing. The left glove had a shield connector, which made it look like I had one big module on my arm. When I put it on, I held my hands together in Gendo gesture and hunched over.

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 21:18

"Excellent!" Oh, I don't look like it, oh! But still, now the arsenal of emotions is wider. And I don't have to throw my sword into its scabbard now and then to take the loot or heal myself.

Camrad_RIP 16.11.22 в 21:23

It took half an hour to practice and record the new and old commands. So, with so many commands, my game will be like dancing. By the way, can also do macros on the poses in the virtual. For example, when I sat down - automatically triggers the "camp" skill. I wonder if there are boot modules? I was engaged in the third-grade dance, so why not use it? All night long in the arena paladin tap dancer!
