The Warrior Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 My stats are abysmal (highly negative), and I'm sure others are in the same position. Because of this I no longer equip any weapons because it just makes my stats worse, surely this doesn't make any sense, a sword should make you deal more damage not less. Therefore I propose we should either have new weapons which incorporate negative modifiers, modifications to existing weapons to give them some negative stat modifiers or change to the way the modifiers are added such that they will always increase stats not decrease. (e.g. base + [b]abs[/b](base*modifier) ). I prefer the second option (although new weapons would be good) mixed with the third in some cases, because to me it makes sense that if you are wearing stiff or heavy weapons then your energetic immunity and briskness should be lower. Or when using difficult weaponry like a club your defence is lower. ignnus, J-D, Menhir and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubaris Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I always wanted more diversity of useful armor in the game, but we seem to lack active artists and will to get it implemented. Your case actually has sense. If you are so incapable of attacking, and someone gives you a sword, it wont help, it can only backfire on you... You swing it awful and somehow hit yourself x) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Orchid Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) [font=comic sans ms,cursive]There is plenty of armor/artwork that exists but is not developed, but, I agree, it would be nice to see them implemented - and negative stat modifiers only make sense for the situation described by The Warrior.[/font] Edited July 26, 2012 by Phantom Orchid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warrior Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Rhaegar, but surely in that situation it is luck that should be reduced not attack, because the sword still gives you the potential to deal more damage however not necessarily in the right place.

stavaroiu Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Nah, i think its more likely you cant swing / lift the sword at all cause your too weak. With neg stats i imagine you cant even face palm your opponent, a sword and armor makes you only more of an sitting duck. I would love to see some new armor sets though. ignnus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I wouldn't say stats work that way, because you can always go 0% in a fight and your stats won't matter, so you could still potentially win.

The MoM Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 okay, the sword kinda makes sense, but what about armor? you can't 'misuse' armor, it's there are it protects you, it should increase your defense, not decrease it... right?

Root Admin Chewett Posted July 27, 2012 Root Admin Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Not if the armour pins you down and makes you much weaker, harder to move and easier to kill because you are practically immobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipstickz Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 But this shouldn't even matter, because you're not the one fighting, your creatures are. Phantom Orchid and Ivorak 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MoM Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 so the fact that YOU hold a sword makes THEM stronger/weaker? that doesn't make sense... they could gain 'morale', increasing effectiveness, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubaris Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Well, tendenciosly-made-guess-to-defend-status-quo, maybe some swords are so good, that while you wield them, you feel so powerful and strong, so that your willpower and determination gets a boost, something like a placebo effect, and your creatures follow your souls strength.

The MoM Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 in which case, when you have a great sword but don't know how to use it, you feel so weak that willpower and determination get diminished, and your souls grow weaker??? okay. Not making much sense anymore, sorry guys... :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
