|
|
so after a day of hard work, i like to do nerdy things like try to figure out why yaru has trouble dodging/hitting certain things in HR.
in terms of the level-based advantage/disadvantage a player has when fighting a critter of level X, is a player with the exp of someone just hitting 100 getting the same advantage/disadvantage as someone who would, technically, be 150+ if more levels were actually gained?
i'm asking this because of those good-old voya khaz who always hit me no matter how much i keep pumping defensive skills, but more because of how Tkiro couldn't figure out why certain people couldn't take on corrupt paladins when they definitely should be able to fight them (but still be a challenge).
like, if the paladin is something like level 110, or 120, or whatever (no clue!), is the fact that PCs can't go beyond level 100 giving us a penalty as if we were overhunting by 20 levels, even if we possibly have the skills of someone notably over 100? _________________ 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!

It would be interesting to know if critters count as being triple-trained from levels 67-99. That would certainly advantage them. _________________ ** The phrase "break a leg" just wasn't ambitious enough for Mellie Knight. [8:31 pm]

i thought critter skills were scaled as 2.6*level to help partially make up for that. _________________ 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!

There's no penalty for hunting something that's over level 100, when you're stuck at level 100, from what I can tell.
The issue with corrupted paladins(well, one of) was that they had stats higher than I had intended. Woops.
In the case of voya khaz and their glacial winds, they're just REALLY good with it.(Being icy beings of death and all.) |

alrighty, got ya.
i guess those emissaries are just even sicker than paladins, too, huh. _________________ 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!

They're more or less where the paladins were before I bashed them over the head with my forging hammer. |

Your experience is considered if you're level 100, and you are given an "effective level" designation. This designation cannot exceed level 120 (currently). This effective level system is currently only used in the combat system and does include magic and psionic attacks. It applies to both attack and defense. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

thanks, that's cool to hear.
(now the question is if the cap is 120 because that's the highest critter for the time being, or if it was just set that was because.. oooooh things to ponder while coding)
but seriously, thanks for being upfront with some of the behind the scenes mechanics. there's 0 real need to do so other than answer nutters like me, but i also like being able to tell if something is off or if something is intended (and clearly some things are just intended to kick my ass, heh). _________________ 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!

Sure, we have all kinds of players.
The 120 is basically set there to match existing huntables. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato
