The Ghost of Christmas Future, II

[Jackard]

Are we discussing mere quantitative balancing, or is there some more qualitative issue here? I'm sure you aren't suggesting that character stats shouldn't matter in combat.

here we are, six years later, and a veteran is seriously suggesting a scenario where one dude can effortlessly dispatch five other dudes like this was fucking dynasty warriors except in a pvp permadeath game... this should never occur

If what you are saying is that it is unreasonable that there is a level of stats that makes you effectively "safe" from your opponents, then I agree with you, and always have.

Cap the combat related stats. Make number of people (and all that strategic mumbojumbo) deciding factor not muh trillion UA and MC. I think people can live with already existing q of combat gear mechanics. Das it my fellow basketball american.

Just introduce harder diminishing returns, no?

I rather prefer to think of it as if it were, say, Super Smash Bros. Even if you play with 1 handicap against one with 9 handicap, he is never "safe", even though the effects of handicap themselves are linear. There are already elements of the new combat system that work to this effect.

are there guns

Please tell me by LA you mean Los Angeles and not Louisiana?, because if you are here in Louisiana I'm gonna find you and slap you upside your head for that dumb question.

That's a great idea. You should also be able to gold plate your guns for more stats and #bling.

Takes 4x another person's stats to break
defence bar with 100Off vs 100 def and
do 0 damage, the effect of stances are
capped at like 2x or something and as
far as i know the agility difference is
also something like 2x the speed of the
other guy max at 0 0 advantage.

Unless he means the actual Hafen combat
system, then i'd be intrigued
