signs of an unbalanced mud.

Posted by Crackle on 11/13

The clearest sign that a certain kind of char is much more powerful than other types of chars is to take a look at the spread of players who know what is going on. When snipe and perception were out of wack what happened? Suddenly every pkiller and even unclanned became snipers and had rifles and were kicking arse.

When you could build chars stats out of proportion everyone was a 550 hp dex mage. When magic was out of wack when this system first went in...everyone was a cause mage with a little dex thrown in for good measure. Now, take a look around and every player is a str fighter...they are everywhere Clearly the players know something is giving them an advantage. I'm not sure what it is that is making it beneficial to be a str fighter...maybe it is bash, but in any event something is clearly out of wack because the overall number spread of characters is leaning way towards the str fighter side. I personally still like magics best... always have...but when I go into a fight against other people or group with a large mob killin group...it is strength fighters and healers all the way. I think that is the most po iwerful indication that maybe a little bit of unbalanced abilities are present in the current system.

Everyone is beatable. Every type has a workaround. In mobkill, you can't blame people for wanting to go with the fastest killer and the best healer. I can't complain. What exactly is it with the strength fighter and healer combination that makes it seem unbalanced?

I should cut and paste.
