Whats with the cursed Doom Arties ?

**Tabbitha** · 1st August 2006, 07:27 AM

asks a player who have been hunting Ophidians ?

I know they are loot from the ophidian bosses, but what are they good for anyway?
What kind of sick joke is dropping uninsurable arties and helping ppl to scam unknowing buyers?
Can you at least bless some of them (e.g. CBP on cursed HoM or one of the old personal bless deeds)?

Comments he has received from other players

If you see the item's cursed, and you want a normal artifact, don't buy it...

As for dropping cursed doom artifacts, I have no problem with them being cursed and would definately not mind using them in PvM. What do you want? Normal Doom arties without the cursed ability? From these, practically solo'able with-the-right-weapon, ophidian berserkers?...

and

I would say that they are just as good as the uncursed arties.

Just because you cant insure it doesnt mean you cant use it.

If you dont put yourself in a situation to get killed by another player,just because it falls back into your pack if you die doesnt mean that its not worth using.

How many times personally have you ever lost everything on your corpse because you couldnt get back to it in time?

When is the last time another player looted your bones?

If you stay in tram and you fight in a group or use the cursed arties and dont go somewhere where you would get over your head,you wont have to worry about losing it.

Im not flaming you at all,and you are not the first person to say that the cursed arties are a joke.

Im just trying to understand why you feel that way.Maybe you are looking at it in a different perspective than me.

I think they are a good idea for people that other wise couldnt afford the insurable ones to have a shot at them.
If you use a little caution while wearing these you would do just fine.

and

All arties should've been cursed to begin with.

Wilki finally added a comment but only to something he thought was a good idea.

Quote:

They should take every exsisting artifact in the game and make it cursed, make it skill vs skill.. Small stuff like clothing, bandages, regeants, ingots, ect.. Should be blessed.. Crafted stuff, might be for insuring it, then make arties cursed..

Wilki replied briefly

Interesting idea...
