There was also a time when a warrior could kill a mage in 2 hits, which was realistic.

Anyway, what is this ra kel qwan exactly? (description please)

Fire Motion Power.

I was not saying they should not. At no point i did.

But it was logical back then, A mage can obviously burn a warrior in a few attempts, but a warrior could slice open arteries of a mage and have them bleed to death in a few attempts.

Hangon, why the heck am i posting here again....

I corrected it.

Well, seriously. A couple of hits with a sword would kill anyone... Not only mages. One flame that consumes you would kill you instantly. But I have never seen a game that is that realistic. Maybe it would be nice though. I dunno.

I see a runescape solution cropping up.

Fighting < Magic < Archery < Fighting

Fooser · Post by **Fooser** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 5:09 pm

Yeah and there are no archers, so...

Retlak · Post by **Retlak** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 5:10 pm

I think thats due to the current cost + work for carpenters to make many arrows...

New crafting system cropping up, genius!

Fooser · Post by **Fooser** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 5:14 pm

And probably the fact no one wants to stand around shooting arrows at pigs for a long time

The object is not to become more realistic. If you want to make the fighting/magic system this realistic then I would hate to hear your idea about crafting.

I just wish I had a good reason for why NPCS do not give magic res....I asked like 10 times and get no response that makes sense in the game.

Azuros · Post by **Azuros** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 11:01 pm

the response made sense if you think of magic resistance as negating the magic with your mind, you just think otherwise

Lrmy · Post by **Lrmy** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 11:26 pm

Then explain why we can still get it from other mages.

I dont. it wasnt I who stated this in the first place. Arameh I think it was, said that a warrior should kill a mage in a couple of hits, and that this was realistic

Lrmy · Post by **Lrmy** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 1:36 am

Since when does it matter who started something?

I do not think a warrior should be able to kill a mage in two hits and vice-versa.

Arameh · Post by **Arameh** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 1:39 am

I am not really for realism, I am for fairness and balance, I stated that because some PO mages would say stuff like "magic should kill instantly since its a big bunch of ice fire whatever that strikes you"

Dantagon Marescot · Post by **Dantagon Marescot** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 5:01 am

There are archers, though few and far between. My ranger of course. But he isn't good enough to even take down a noob.

Korwin · Post by **Korwin** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 5:02 am

If magic and meelee combat are to be balanced, I first suggest that all weapons break after five consecutive uses, that way warriors won't have the unfair advantage of outlasting mages.

Retlak · Post by **Retlak** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 10:08 am

But mages can escape in seconds.

Booya.

Alkuurg · Post by **Alkuurg** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 10:12 am

But warriors are able to wear metal armours! I think mages should be allowed to wear metal, so that it is more realistic, and we'd have a greater variety of magic casters.

Samantha Meryadeles · Wed Jan 10, 2007 10:44 am

oh yes, mages running around in platemails, suuure!

farewell logic. welcome platemail wearing and two shield using powermages of old times!

Alkuurg · Post by **Alkuurg** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 10:49 am

YES!

It'll add a whole new dimension to the system! Currently, the magic system is very restricting for roleplay, as you can only play sissies like samantha or athian.

Retlak · Post by **Retlak** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 10:50 am

LOL Areed.

They can only teleport out if they get the time to cast the spell, and having it succeed.
Wich can take quite a while I reckon.

As for the mages in platemail, well only for more balanced battlemages.
But can you really stop a mage from wearing some light lor-angur, I mean tech wise?

I suggest that runes disappear after five uses as well.
