Posted: Wed Dec 22, 2004 3:36 pm Post subject: Armor/Weapon Quality |
|
|
Appraisal will now show the proper protection/damage for armor/weapons, with the bonuses for quality applied. Appraisal skill, intelligence, and armor/weapon quality factor into the ability to get an accurate reading.
Weapon quality was not properly applying damage bonuses in combat, which should be fixed sometime this week. _________________ HR-Marduk

argh. another reason to need to train appraisal! damn you all!
does something high quality require more skill to appraise it, or less? i know i completely suck at appraisial (ie: i have 0 (1 in it), but i'm unable to even remotely get an assessment of my uniform and rifle. and with 75 (84) intel, i figured i would at least get something less than being completely oblivious.
thanks a ton for the update. final question! does armor skill help the way an armor protects? _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

More.
And no.
Keep in mind your uniform is pretty much maxed out as far as quality goes (it's possible to get higher quality armor, but not by any means readily available to players), so you'll have to find someone with a respectable skill level to appraise it accurately. (You're not completely oblivious. By my numbers, you're somewhere around half-oblivious.) _________________ HR-Marduk

alrighty. i wasn't sure if better quality meant easier or harder. makes sense that it's so hard now. thanks.
ps: first cabochons, now this. what is this, force yaru's player to want to invest in appraisal day?
edit: is it possible to add a 'you feel certain this is right' once someone is way way over the required skill to appraise a certain quality? _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

Once you can see the quality you're within a pretty small range of the actuall appraissal. _________________ HR-Marduk

Damn what happened to Tshar's armor?

Paper would offer more protection. That's my 'crat appraising it with 159 appraisal and 110 intell. I also had him check on the Temhuk Scale armor at Kings Ransom which is what this armor is altered from. . .

On a related note, the bonus to armor protection based on quality has been reduced, as it was much too high. _________________ HR-Marduk

by the by, i can appraise my uniform and rifle now and see the quality. i'm not quite sure why (not like i'm complaining... but i'm not sure if the difficulty was lowered intentionally).
also, would quality ever reflect how well something works at different ranges? _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

The quality of a weapon was not modifying the damage done in combat properly, which should now be fixed.
In addition, you will now need an appropriate amount of skill in the related weapon to get the full bonus from weapon quality. _________________ HR-Marduk

Thank you for the updates, just curious why the skill requirement? _________________ >You allow Stilldawn to undress you. |
