I have a question about weapons to someone that can answer it. Up until recently I thought I understood how weapon damage was calculated but another player approached me with a different perspective so I wanted to check here to see which was correct. My understanding: Example: Short Swords (75% DEX,...

I'm not kissing ass here but I would like to say that Heph or PowerMite as I know him or Keign(???) as he is known on the forums, is a very decent and fair GM. All the time I have known him, he has not allowed his personal opinions to interfere with what is right or wrong and does not hold a grudge ...

Simply solution would be to make harder dungeons for the uber high levels; who've played so long only to see there stats are worth shit. :lesson: Who cares if there super strong, thats kinda the point of online games anyway. This does not address the problem, only delays it further until more diffi...

Good idea BUUUUTTTT..... Instead of 5$ = chance to have a leather tunic +5 nv? Umm.... Maybe like 10$ = 50% of leather tunic +4 nv??? Make it cost alot for the super uber items, If people REALLY must have those items... So there for people who want to pay for uber items can (Or chance for their ube...

I like those ideas but I think the Half troll ability is a bit OP in comparison.
attack speed is a multiplier and that multiplier is stacked by dual wielding weapons which also increase the rate at which you accumulate rage. just my 2 cents

I see it is a nice perk, but it is limited in it's usefulness. If there was a level cap then it would be more viable. however, with the way things are currently setup. I can only see it being useful at very low levels. It quickly outlives it's usefulness at high levels. Now please correct me if I'm ...

The following is a system I remember seeing from another online game. It's much like buying a lottery ticket. for $20 you can buy X amount of tokens: you can spend X amount of tokens to randomly generate an item for you which you can name and keep/trade-in for tokens. Lets say I'm I want an adaman s...

actually, fist weapons are NOT dual wield. if you look at the name of the item you are wielding for a fist weapon you will see that it is singular not plural such as "gloves" or "gauntlets" or "boots" that are attached to those items. "Brass knuckles" is an it...

*Racial Bonus for Draconian ( +10% damage) does not stack with damage increasing tints (blackrock, darkweave, ect) -barehanded punches for 5-7, with darkweave gloves 9-11. *Neither the Racial bonus or damage increased by tint effect critical hits. -crit for 60 with barehands, use darkweave gloves (+...

egg,
did you read my post from the topic you linked?
It was mainly directed towards you to help give some ideas and share my online gaming experience with you. I hope it helps and provides you with fruitful ideas that you can use for future updates.

question:

Do diminishing returns effect both PD and Regular server or just Regular?

right. I think I stated that in some of the above posts.
so diminishing the returns by a % of level will NOT fix the issue of equality among stats.

the result should still be the same. if you reduce the total stats by a % there is still no reason to invest into strength if you're using 2 short swords. and fighters will get screwed from lack of dexterity. Mages will have the upper hand since they don't really need str or dex, the can devote thei...

Rusty, while your idea seems sound, think about what you're saying. How will it effect 100% weapons and mages? how will it effect 100, 50/50, 75/25 weapons? I think if you plug an equation into your spreadsheet which diminishes returns from level, you will see the initial problem still exists becaus...

I think the way to resolve the issue is change the formula for amount gained from skill derivitives. The lower the amount of % derived from the stats (UA = 50% dex/str), the less of a gain you get from them. as I understand it you bonus 100% from both str and dex using LS and UA, so, by making them ...

has this issue been resolved or does the problem still stand?
this thread is a little outdated and there may have been an update. Great research Rusty

*********WALL OF TEXT ALERT ************ I was reading through the forums and came across this interesting forum. I have my own philosophy on the matter just like everyone does and has an asshole ect. I understand completely where both sides are coming from here in these arguments. I hope it's not t...

Seph-i-roth!

Hello all, This is my first post. I am very inquisitive and often bothering players with all my questios so instead of bothering them, it would be better if I just ask the entire community. :D My questions is in reguards to dual weilding. As I'm told some weapons have passive abilities and activatio...
