Lowbie power! Add in the suspense of an incap-saving and you got yourself a log! I liked it!

Cunning plan of his! To dismout from mule, rem metal, wear leather boots and recieve 3 shatter hits on the bare feet, not to mention the last pierce by you. This new armour system is so ridiculous. All this idiocy happening only because mannagement wanted to reduce the power of shining metal.

I completely agree that the new melee targeting system is ridiculous in most way, but I don't think it was made to reduce the power of shining metals. I think it simply is a case of someone with a very limited ability of seeing the consequences of a change and not doing any kind of playtesting of them (the same can be said for most changes by the same person). Further more I know of one Arata who mostly shares my view of the melee system but not my view on shining metals, the A wants much less shining while I want much more.

Well somehow mannagement got tired of all those whines on unkillable powerplayers in shining, even though shining never made you invoulnerable, just somewhat harder to kill, yes. And shining people also were/are target no1 in a group fight, killing one results in nice loot, concentrated fire - and you get that evil 'uberpower' gone. Simple as that.

Having shining brEASTplate usually resulted in really nice chance of survival, since the hit system was based on 'bodyspace' - body being the biggest/more chance to hit part, with the rest spread out pretty much even. Somewhat logical system, but not enough for mannagement. But what the done now is just ridiculous? Ok, enemy 'sees' there are no nice absorb item on that body part, and tries to hit it, but there are still chances he misses, right, either completely, or just hits the other bodypart? But no, almost ALL hits go in the unprotected place, even after some twiddling. Remember the fun being hit by a black uruk patrul 9 of 9 times on leather boots? It got changed a bit, but still works almost the same in a small number fights.

Don't know where I am heading with this, just some thoughts on the matter.

2008/08/14 20:16, Belor: 
I completely agree that the system is ridiculous and pretty much totally unrealistic. I suggested some changes to make it a little more realistic but only the reduced impact of parrysplit was removed, and my suggestions wouldn't have made it good just a little less unrealistic. But I don't think reduced importance of shining had anything to do with the change being made, just incompetence :(
(And pride then prevented it from being changed too much, or reverted.)

I also agree with St0lb, shining metal these days is nowhere near as useful as before. I have a funny example. I played my level 21 cleric with 90 defense, full fine metal on all parts, and i buffed FAR (FAR!) better than my level 50 150 def warrior in full shining metal, white coif, metal gauntlets and smooth black boots. Due to ONE piece of armour being different, the extra 25 levels and 150 defense didn't matter shit.

I compeletely agree with the shining brEASTplate, it's not a bEAST anymore when you wear it. The gods make such a DOWNer changes sometimes. PICKing on us I guess, evil p*RAT*S

Lol @ Telessar.

I liked the log!

2008/08/15 07:19, Fragir: 
The body targeting system in PK is ok, but it should never go past player vs player, vs mobs this is just ridiculous. I remember mobing one char while quaking shaghosh and getting like 7/8 hits to head with circlet.
I can understand it's purpose in PK, but vs mob groups it really sucks (well it was changed a little but it still sucks).

Holy shit! Razoor's dwarf has 240 def!

2008/08/15 15:10, Zorts: 
Zinc wtf?
