The New Fighting system

[Llama]

It seems waaay too overpowered for me...

It took me 1.5 mins (REAL) to kill a swarm; and killing 2 mummies made me reach my cap, and he's an average fighter.

Also there seems to be a trouble with the waraxes..

Anyone?

[Belgram]

Waraxes are a non-weapon. If a scripter reads this it will be fixed


So is the magical sword


PS: Everyone sucks at fighting now

[Llama]

Try walking through the swamp, you end up having 7 or so swarms on you at teh same time..

All i can say is:

Poor n00bs...

I think they're trying to get back at us for making the mages suck so bad.

Maybe you noticed, that there is a new fighting skill? 'Tactics'?

[Belgram]

Worst thing is wolves. You can't run and you can't hide. you're a dead man

[Poots]

would you mind please explaining this new skill? what atributes does it take? how does it help?

[Gro'bul]

My char got this skill, and its name explains it all. I guess it helps everything a little bit in its own way. Still, I can't see how people stink so bad, I mean I guess my characters is one of the best fighters but only the magic casting skellys did much damage. Red skeletons are tough, tough as hell, and the one that summoned skeletons well, my char ran away screaming like a little girl. Consider grouping to take out these powerful undead.

The fighting system is rock-paper-scissor. Think what weapon and what armor is good against what sort of enemy.

Fighting from the back makes your hits very strong. This does apply against monsters also. So never fight alone, but have someone backstab the monster!

It's all about tactic.

Think what weapon and what armor is good against what sort of enemy.

With think you dont come far, you have to test. there is no hint that could tell you now what weapons is best against lor-angru, nightblade, heavy steelplate, or whatever.

You just find out with many tests in pvp

[falco1029]

is tactics based on intelligence? It should be...

Anyway, im assuming you raise the skill by hiting a monster's back or side?

[Retlak]

Take on multiple enemies gets it up good.

With which weapon? Did you ever try to fight flies with a sharp sword or a dagger?

and killing 2 mummies made me reach my cap, and he's an average fighter.

Well, the cap means nothing.

No, I usually use flyspray

With a snakesword and shield....

That's just for PvP and I don't think that I give out a secret if I tell you that every metal made plate has about the same "weaknesses". Leather armor might be a different story.

As for monsters, think.

[Retlak]

Retlak never reaches his cap

anyway, watch out for Trolls Ogres and Demon skelingtons.
Tested, they pwn Ret in 3 hits.

[Aristeaus]

I was doing fine against an ogre, then it started casting magic on me ;] pwned LOL

[Retlak]

your ok when you block their hits, but i guess Ret was unlucky, 3 succesive hits taken -_-

and Arist you are modded!

[martin]

With a snakesword and shield....

Two words:
Bad choice.

Try to imagine that IRL. You hitting a swarm of flies with a snakesword?

Martin

[falco1029]

yes, what could possibly be good against flies? Perhaps something wide and flat.....

[Athian]

I think they're trying to get back at us for making the mages suck so bad.

omg no. mages are screwed now if theres more then two people crap stats and back attacks equal dead mage.

[Aristeaus]

Im not actually :p

[Poots]

I I use a poisened dagger, and while practicing with it, I swear that my slashing skill went up instead. Is there a way to check the scripting or something? someone said that it was because I'm a hobbit in ooc. is that true?

[Gabon Corad]

yes Gabon got absloutly murdered by a demon skelliton and a mummy when he was fighting with Athain. Lost my nightplate but Gabon is very very strong
he has only attributes to be a fighter and thats all his skills are, if intelegence is needed to learn more then Gabon is screwed, at the time it was really fun down in the cript when me, Salathe, Reltak, Gort, and Athain went into the cripts but if you dont fight in groups your gonna get desicrated...sorry to the new people

[Llama]

My points are these:

1) Noobs will get slaughtered...or fight in groups and pick up the rubbish which everyone else leaves
2) Archers and mages will get over-run by the extreme spawning levels...
3) Less usable weapons are beign dropped for n00bs, this will force them to have to get money to BUY things...which might be a problem. You used to be able to pick up 1 helm/ mummy.. now the helms are rarer (and nicer)

4) Everything else I like...

[Retlak]

i am confused.. its almost asif the skills atatcking and parrying have become uneven. when players fight, sure you can parry blows and receive no damage, but most of the time the players hit and within 4 hits tey could probably kill eachover. fighting monsters you dont hurt them any extra i have noticed..

[Crothu Inkathurg]

I pwn with the new fighting system!

[Retlak]

same here, its wierd. Tactics must be the missing skill that will fix this equation of mine!
