AlphaOmega206: i dont know, damage will always be useful, but AR will help me get the crits
moralsareforme: you need 20 AR per crit though
AlphaOmega206: AR is especially important now especially since everyon's mobility just sky rocketed
moralsareforme: peoples mobility should be higher
moralsareforme: im gonna have to talk to cele again
moralsareforme: its still easy as **** to sever people
moralsareforme: but thats not the real problem, its capped
AlphaOmega206: i dont know what to enchant nex
AlphaOmega206: what do you think i should do?
moralsareforme: i dont know
moralsareforme: i really dont
AlphaOmega206: if mobility is not cap, someone like me can get 300 mobility and no mobs will ever touch me
AlphaOmega206: except for ones that use magic
AlphaOmega206: mobility cap is nessarry
moralsareforme: no it isnt
moralsareforme: then somebody like you could also get 300 AR
moralsareforme: and counter it
moralsareforme: and then people could hit you
moralsareforme: the cap is not needed
AlphaOmega206: i'm talking about mob
moralsareforme: so?
moralsareforme: you would suck offensivly if you had 300 mobility
AlphaOmega206: how are mobs gonna hit a peson with 300 mob?
moralsareforme: they cant even hit somebody with 90 mob
moralsareforme: so thats a moot point
moralsareforme: and you can GET 90 mob
AlphaOmega206: i think mobility should be tone down, same as chances of servering
moralsareforme: dude
moralsareforme: thats STUPID
moralsareforme: think about
moralsareforme: it
moralsareforme: its already IMPOSSIBLE to have a defensive character
moralsareforme: you just CANT DO IT
moralsareforme: its STUPID
moralsareforme: i CANNOT, even if i wanted to, have a defensive character
AlphaOmega206: i dont like the idea that mobs cant hit us
moralsareforme: they ALREADY cant hit us
AlphaOmega206: exactly
moralsareforme: if i tried to make a defensive character
moralsareforme: he would just get severed INSTANTLY by players
moralsareforme: even with 100 mobility
moralsareforme: which is the cap
moralsareforme: AR is INFINITLY more powerful than mobility
moralsareforme: in every way
moralsareforme: thats not balanced.
AlphaOmega206: maybe it is supposed to be that way
AlphaOmega206: maybe mobility is not supposed to be as good as AR
moralsareforme: no
moralsareforme: that would be retarded
moralsareforme: are you saying offense should always be better than defense?
moralsareforme: first sever always wins?
moralsareforme: and since you cant defend
moralsareforme: its just whoever happens to get the first attack in
moralsareforme: since every attack will ALWAYS be a sever
AlphaOmega206: i didnt say that
moralsareforme: thats how it is right now.
AlphaOmega206: i think mobility should be tone down so that mobs can hit us. I also think that chances of severing should be tone down also that way we dont have one hit sever situation
moralsareforme: would be the same problem
moralsareforme: whoever happens to pound on the other guy the most first wins
moralsareforme: most damage roll wins
moralsareforme: most hp wins
moralsareforme: great
moralsareforme: no such thing as defense
moralsareforme: count me out.
moralsareforme: i want to be able to defend.
AlphaOmega206: resistances
moralsareforme: thats not a defense, EVERYBODY has those
AlphaOmega206: they should make dodge manual
AlphaOmega206: instead of attacking a player have the option to dodge
AlphaOmega206: or defend
AlphaOmega206: when you're hit while you are defending, everything is 50% off
moralsareforme: that could be cool
moralsareforme: but i still want a character thats just
moralsareforme: able to dodge
moralsareforme: shrug
moralsareforme: and DODGE for real
moralsareforme: i hate ALWAYS being hit
moralsareforme: EVERY SINGLE TIME
moralsareforme: ALWAYS
moralsareforme: heck, you could consistently hit somebody with 120 mobility, let alone 90
AlphaOmega206: perhaps, we should have these options in battle:
jab, thrust, lunge, spin, multistrike, retreat, advance, defend, dodge, flee, bash, cast...
AlphaOmega206: all manual
moralsareforme: that would be fun
AlphaOmega206: so if you dont want to hit, you can defend or dodge
AlphaOmega206: someting like 60% successful rate
moralsareforme: how about
moralsareforme: you type dodge
moralsareforme: and then you start 'dodging'
AlphaOmega206: no
moralsareforme: and you get an instant bonus to mobility
moralsareforme: but if you attack
moralsareforme: its instantly gone
moralsareforme: and you get a PENALTY to mobility as you leave the 'dodging' state
AlphaOmega206: when you type dodge, you do nothing and when the other person hit you you dodge.
AlphaOmega206: if you are successful
moralsareforme: no i dont like that
moralsareforme: it sounds too random
moralsareforme: what if my character was really really good at dodging?
moralsareforme: or really really bad?
moralsareforme: wouldnt the percent be different depending on the situation?
AlphaOmega206: i'm sure we can come up with somekind of gradient for the dodging skill, maybe rogue can level up dodging to 90% while cleric have only 30% dodging max.
AlphaOmega206: something of that sort
moralsareforme: oh a skill?
moralsareforme: i dont like that
AlphaOmega206: turn it into a skill
moralsareforme: it should be based on mobility
AlphaOmega206: cuz some classes can dodge better than others
AlphaOmega206: it could be a combo of both
AlphaOmega206: mobility and skill %
AlphaOmega206: mobility + skill +luck
moralsareforme: hrm
AlphaOmega206: cuz a cleric should not be able to dodge as well as a rogue
AlphaOmega206: and there's always a luck factor involve
moralsareforme: i dont see why mobility just isnt tweaked
moralsareforme: would be much more simple
AlphaOmega206: but my idea doesnt sound so bad does it?
moralsareforme: im not sure
moralsareforme: i think it should be universal to all classes, like AR is
moralsareforme: attack rating is.
AlphaOmega206: and dodge would be different from defend
moralsareforme: even a mage can sever **** if their AR is high enough
AlphaOmega206: if you successful dodge your opponent will miss you, if you successfully defend, your opponent will blow will be reduced by 60%
AlphaOmega206: or something like that
AlphaOmega206: it would provide an alternative to people who like to defend in battles rather than hack hack hack
AlphaOmega206: hey you mind if i copy and paste this conversation to the idea board?
AlphaOmega206: in the forum?
moralsareforme: yeah just as long as you keep the parts about me saying that i think it should be universal to all classes, like AR is
AlphaOmega206: lol, k
well there you have it. Say hi to dodge and defend
