what was the wilderness?

[xpendersx]

I hear people mention it, what was it? how did it work?

[infiniterage666]

Basically it was just a weird version of DC (kinda) where you could only hit 5 mobs, that progressively got harder the higher level you went. I think kyo got to level 10 (or something?) with the 100% block glitch.



The 5 mobs were "reborn" in the one of the raiding updates (think it's 5 man gods). Really I don't know what the *****ing is about, wilderness was never anything but a bragging point.

but people like to brag. look at masteries; they were never anything but a bragging point, and that seems to be one of the things people miss the most, judging by the number of complaints on these forums about how they should be brought back.

Wilderness was a 1337 place that was _NOTHING_ like DC. it was a list of 1 man gods we had to kill to earn certain bragging rights not to mention theyre the inspiration of the life forces for the sacred blade...

Each god had his soul force or life force as they call it it was random items.. Torax's Death Shield and what not.. they also dropped orb-like items that if im correct gave you a few extra stats.. not much but hell every bit counts. And bragging rights were undeniable @ that time in the game...

The "****ing" about wilderness is outwar players are tired of dc and raid dc and raid dc and raid.. nothing else to do on outwar.. just dc and raid.. we need new stuff to do..

Torax Death Shield was given to people who joined the Torax server through a transfer from the now sigil. . .I don't know what you're thinking about but I did Wilderness up to about level 5-6 and I don't rememeber ever seeing an item drop, except for the map pieces which were used for nothing.

"nothing like DC"?

You hit mobs did you not? Sounds a bit like DC to me. Torax's death shield was awarded to those who switched to torax from www server, not from wilderness. They didn't drop orb like items at all, in fact they only dropped one weird quest item that no one ever used I believe.

Sib and Ganja were also part of the wilderness. The original wilderness had 3 areas with several eniemies to beat, and then their was 3 really tough enimies after that. Their was Torax, Fabar, and Dinadar.

When you beat the boss of each area you got a gemstone which gave various upgrades to your account (more money per turn, some clicks per turn, and some attacks). Then when you beat Torax, Fabar, and Dinadar you got their soulstones I believe. They also gave various upgrades to your account.

What was cool was you could make the eniemies weaker by having certain things on your account. Having a lot of unbanked money made Sib easier. If you had time warp casted Torax would be easier (if you lost to Torax you would lose attacks).

Umm the 3 wilderness "bosses" originalyl dropped orbs (not skill orbs) that each gave a certain bonus. I don't remember the bonuses, but the original wilderness didn't have levels.

then please post the item link


If you're on Torax, go to Shields in the TB and search for Torax Death Shield. Theres actually 1 person who has it up on their TB. It brings back memories, I always thought it looked really cool. And the wilderness, wow that was a long time ago. Even though it was pointless, I kinda miss it anyway. It was at least something different to do.

Like a lot of others have already said, theres not much to do in OW at the moment, just DCing and raiding. And if you're not in a good crew, a lot of the good god raids are just eye candy. Hopefully there'll be a lot more to do soon, because to my understanding OW hasn't added many new things to do in A WHILE. I played back in '04-'05 and theres nothing really new besides some quests.

The original wilderness dropped orbs that gave like rpt/ept and crap it was very small bonuses since it was WAAAAY back when mil items and such. The more recent wilderness was just one where you hit for exp, it got progressivly harder but was almost pointless... you got about 60 exp or so in the higher ones.

And with the 100% shield glitch some peolpe made it to the 60+ in wilderness.
