Game Development: Testing, testing.

[Jackard]

It seems like many of the moves, at least, could incorporate stats other than strength. Dexterity, inteligence, agility, and perception all seem to have a natural relationship to various moves.

It would be nice to be able to go with a more mobile, finesse or skilled fighter as opposed to just a strength-based brawler. It does add complexity to the system, though, and maybe that type of balance is not the desired result.

having stats that are actually significant in many different ways is more depth than complexity :P

its not hard to understand that something like Agility might have a variety of uses

Yes because when klaue went raiding noobs he obviously took of his armor to be all sportsmanlike right? This system fixes nothing.

oh my god, quit your bitching woman

I do much agree Jackard. However, there is a second overlooked benefit of making stats other than con & str relevant to combat. That is that it causes murder alts to be worth nothing more than scent assasination and wallbreaking.

If you invest enough to make an 'alt' have balanced high stats.....well...it's not an alt anymore is it?

Fuck my main is stuck and he cant get out D:
Edit: No testing for Kheyre I guess.
Edit2: There needs to be a start playing from RoB option while you have a hearth. I can't destroy mine and I am stuck with my hearth behind a gate i dont have the key to.

<burgingham> btw jorbs and loftars idea of a testserver that runs on previous game data just plays into our hands
<burgingham> this is sooooo easy to find good places
<Chakravanti> Yeah
<Chakravanti> it is kinda fucked up to do that
<burgingham> doing all that spywork without any risk

While the clowns have been fooling around, I've found a bug.

Battle Cry: Only possible when you have 20 IP or more, full intensity and combat advantage (any amount). Fills your offense completely, drains 50% of your opponent's defense and gives you 2 steps of advantage, at the cost of 10 IP.

Battle Cry does not lower your foe's Defense Bar in the slightest, or at least not visually.

this totally. shouldve bee a totally new map or something like that or at laest from more than a week ago.

[Jackard]

that and provide some premade chars for targeted testing

Good idea.
