KayJay1971 239 Posted May 30, 2007 I'll have to admit, last night when I signed on and saw all the changes, I hated it. I felt confused and I didn't want to assign any skill points because I didn't know if the weapons I had were going to be the ones I used in the future. But today I think I have a plan for my character and things are making a lot more sense. I am really glad that I was hoarding weapons before the update. Now I have a wide variety of things to choose from. It looks like I am going to be more of a spellcaster now. The 2 minutes before reaching 100% recovered is pretty dumb though.

I'm 140 away from maxing out my skill points. I guess once that is done, so am I. I attacked the top dog last night to see how I would compare. I lost by 147.

I wish you could assign MORE than one skill point at a time, too - it seems like their server would crap out while upgrading them over and over, too.....they need a new hamster!

itsbigmoni 1 Posted May 30, 2007 Yea, i'm a bit confused right now. As it stands, ALL of my weapons are of the novice variety. If i wanna move up, i'd wanna improve my skills in that. But if i invest too much, i won't have enough points when i get to the point where i need points for adept or master. Right now, i think i'm gonna keep fighting in my level and see what i can come up with. I'm gonna try to focus on only a few weapons. One question i have though. Theres the shortsword, longsword, and largesword. Is there only one sword in each of those categories? My strategy would be to equip 2-3 different largeswords, and focus on improving largesword skill. But if there is only one type of largesword, then i'll have no idea what i'd do just yet.

Mrdirt73 0 Posted May 30, 2007 It's near impossible for mid to low level players to compete with the new changes. Yeah, I'm kinda afraid of that too, and said that in the forums there in the lead up to all this. My goal now is to just continue to kick the crap out of the lower tier of rank 1, and hope to eventually have a pretty decent character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KayJay1971 239 Posted May 30, 2007 I take it all back! I hate it again. My last 3 battles have resulted in losses because I run out of stamina. I would be beating on some guy and run out of stamina when the other guy only has 25 life left. I would have like 150 life left but can't battle. I have way too many rare and uncommon items. This makes me have to rethink my whole strategy and I have already assigned a bunch of skill points!! So I went and bought 2 POS common items so that I can at least attack when I run out of stamina. I think putting the life max at 300 is too much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KayJay1971 239 Posted May 31, 2007 How exactly does a critical hit occur? I just fought some one and they had 4 critical hits during the course of a 49 turn battle. They had one for 49 points and one for 20 points. I still whooped that azz though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Landry 29 Posted May 31, 2007 How exactly does a critical hit occur? I just fought some one and they had 4 critical hits during the course of a 49 turn battle. They had one for 49 points and one for 20 points. I still whooped that azz though "Critical hits have been added to the game. Some items will perform critical hits more often than others and the amount of damage you do is based on your Strength (for weapons) and Magic (for spells)." Apparantly it's completely at random and will give you more damage than you ordinarily would have scored that attack (I had a critical hit for a whopping 7 points).

usurpers26 26 Posted May 31, 2007 You start each battle with 100 stamina points - and each equipped weapon tells you how many stamina points it will use (on the stat card). Just means if you roll with all ur/rare/uncommon you better win fast. How do you know if you ran out of stamina? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
