Well, there is a lot of uproar recently about the Obsidian Sanctum JP. I can understand it, certainly. Back in the days when i was young, unexperienced, innocent, i had the same problems. I was PvE´er by heart and soul, didnt have a clue about PvP ´n stuff.
But yet i grew accustomed to it.
The Obsidian Sanctum is kind of an Hide and Seek game. One has to learn the Hide-part, then its much easier to do the Seek-part. So learn to hide, learn to jump, to be agile in air and on ground. Then you can fasten your seatbelts for engages initialized by you.
And now here i am, Toxxa, Kodash Thievess, eagerly seeking for fairlay, duels, good sportsmanship. But i also have my dark side. Justice can sometimes only be served by revenge. By devastating entire guild groups, for the sole purpose of stopping them from getting through. Thus i invented my own OS JP etiquette. My own codex.
1. Never start a fight. If enemy engages on me, oh hell sure i´ll call out for war.
2. Server x camps at y location? Fine then. Fight, split them up, kill them all, and kill anything belonging to their server until outcry is big enough to let them know they ain´t gonna do their camping-stuff with Toxxa. Yes, this puts me onto their niveau, but no, i do this alone or with much less people than they have.
3. Never kill Green Arrows. Only if they engage, rez their fallen mates, or if they´re Mesmers capable of beaming up entire armada of unsymphatic enemies. Reasoning behind this is simple: even if they wanted to, unless they´re very experienced and/or almost lvl 80 they cannot hold their own. Feels like beating kittens if you kill Green´s for no reason.
4. Win by outsmarting enemy, not outcheaping them. There´s enough of OS JP campers who only know how to fight and win by using as many knockbacks, pushes and pulls as possible near any lethal height of a cliff. If there isnt a cliff availiable, they´re gonna die in pain.
5. If i am in revenge mode, i still keep my manners. So anyone inviting me to ask me if i´m so kind to let them pass sure will be allowed to pass in peace. But those who invite just to unload half their vocabulary of insults ranging from family insultments to racism will be reported appropriatly. And they shall not pass.
6. Die like a man and don´t run like a mouse. In even fights, fair fights, i don´t follow the oldest and most reliable of all Pirate traditions – running away. Thats a no-go for me seeing most thieves do this and don´t have any fighting honor. But if i am outmanned, or my suddenly appeared wild opponent runs a cheese build, then i answer with stealth or cheese.
7. Duels are holy. I don´t interfer with them, i don´t interrupt them. If its one of my server about to loose, and his opponent engages to finish him, well thats a total different story… most of the time ending with two of my server being alive, but none of theirs. And i love to duel, too, because they are the best opportunity to try and sharpen my skills. There is a lot to learn left for me!
That is all. Thats how i act and react. Calling Obsidian Sanctum a second home already, you´d not be so wrong if you compare me to a mix of Batman and Freddie.
So whenever you have Kodash in your matchup – just like Elona and Jade Sea as of now – watch out for this cutie.
Toxxa end.
