Prevent Getting DMed

[SeEManN]

There are 2 ways of DM. The first one the BJ thing. Okay in the beginning ALWAYS press f1 to see where the first AI is KOed. For example on Flats when you oh (AI) Brunar or whoever in Market Road is down run to this place (perhaps with speed) and shot a firebolt there, the thief cant be far away. For yourself use at the beginning the drop-flare trick to get 6 flares and always have a flare in your while you patrol shadows. In floors run next to the wall so its much more difficult to get KOed. And even if someone KOs you know, you have for sure a loadout, run to this place and get that thief! That isnt so difficult. If there are 2 thieves and you fear them (you dont have to) then call help.

The second one is the sword thing. Why do get pissed of when the thieves get 12 guards kill on breakout?
1. Guards have more live
2. Guards have better weapons
So its very risky for a thief to kill a guard. If your not skilled enough to kill a swordthief go a few steps away and shot a firebolt in his face or if you have a good aim a paralyse bolt. Another nice trick is throwing some caltrops while fighting. Even Phaetorn (the one who only ghosts) said skilled people cant have a problem with swordthiefs.

I heard a time ago from a CTG member: "DMing show that you have no skills"
If i get owned by DM thieves im very angry on myself not on the thieves!

All you noobs should listen to us old guys who pass down such sacred knowledge! We wish not for you to make our mistakes!

2. Guards have better weapons

As we've seen in other threads this is not true.
1) Thieves have the only 1 shot melee kill in the game.
2) Thieves have the only 1 shot ranged kill in the game.(AI)
2) Thieves have the only 2 shot melee kill in the game. (AI)
3) Thieves have the only 3 shot ranged kill in the game.

The guards simply don't have anything that compares to this, except perhaps the mace which might be a 2 hit kill if both hits are charged. Of course, that is balanced by making the guard slow.
The best weapons in the game are property of the thieves, my friend. (add to that the fact they can blind you, go invisible, hide in shadows, and crack and there is no way to see it coming even)

Now I'm okay with DM theives IF there is a level playing field. However, giving thieves 1/3 of the map that they are invisible upon PLUS the best ranged and melee attacks puts the guards at a disadvantage to say the least.

Guards have more lives, yes . But does that mean they have those lives forever untill a human dies ? NO
Thieves can't lose their lives unless they die. Guards can lose lives even without dieing. AI cary the lives , and like many said before thats kinda a bad thing. So that kinda means that thieves are better with their lives ( In My Opinion ).

Guards do not have better weapons. Right now thieves are overpowered with their weapons. ( when used right )

( btw ) about what i said ... i never said they can't have a problem. I said many skilled people know how to counter them, that's different from whatT you said

[Biohazard]

While I agree with you, Seemann, I also agree with MadGerbil on one note. Thieves are a wee bit too powerful when it comes to fighting a guard one on one.

[LegalAssassin]

Yeah, how can you jump and run between the rooves with that HUGE sword in your back pocket?

[one_gundam_war]

one on one thieves have the advantage which is sad to say.

but usually a team of guards can be unstoppable to anything but an almost equal amount of thieves (or gross stupidity)

I didnt say they have more lives, I said they have more live. Sorry for the misunderstanding, i meant more health. (125 to 100)
