Prelude: World 15

[magnet]

Is this another case of loftar's disdain for "ugly" numbers in game? Example he refuses to make in-game time and curio timers more readable just because he insists on there being a 24 hour day in-game.

Really a shame to scrap the whole hitpoints and CON vs STR changes just because current armor scaling didn't fit nicely into place. I'm not as knowledgeable as some others in this thread about how armor is factored in, but couldn't the equations have been rewritten to fit the new change? Having trouble understanding what the major issue was.

Really hope you guys will at least give the health / armor changes another look at some point and possibly implement it without the issues you had with it. It seemed like a promising change and it's a shame to see it scrapped over some number issues

Solves the problem of movement cheesing meta, addresses hour-long chases and makes it no longer necessary to carry several waterskins to have a chance of survival in a PvP encounter.

The thing I'm trying to describe is more that the game does absolutely nothing to teach you the fundamentals of PVP without you actively searching them out & practicing. Most people end up playing for 10 years, realize they're still basically toddlers standing next to a bunch of Mike Tysons, then decide based on that it's an insurmountable challenge/find excuses. Then others start believing these excuses and parroting them, then it grows to be the culture of the game.

Some of these people also join factions and parrot their leaders.

Bads will be bad regardless.

Did you discover unintended interactions with some damage sources that made you decide to drop it, to keep this world's launch healthy? Or did the whiners who whine about everything make you think it wouldn't work right?

It turned out armor scaling didn't work out particularly well due to its linear nature.

So... you and jorb didn't even test this before announcement?
