|
|
I'm teaking the duel engine now (it should take a week or so to finish). Thus, whatever results you saw in the past will likely not hold at all after I'm done with it. |

That's the best news I've heard yet. It's been in need of an overhaul for a while now with >400 STR/MAG not being all that huge anymore.
Looking forward to the new changes here. Hopefully we can incorporate the rest of the stats a bit more. _________________ ______ "We're still flying"

Not so much as that post. Seriously, it's just what Vex has said: the duel engine is being tweaked and it will likely have different results once the work is complete. Somehow I doubt duels run for fun rank very high on the admins' "Should I care?" meter. _________________

Basically, now that there are "paths," there's no point why a "Warrior" would be blasting people with magic just because he has higher MAG... etc...
And player input should also affect the outcome of duels to give it an extra dose of unpredictability. |

That sounds like it will make the duel engine even more fun to toy with, can't wait to use it. _________________

Player input huh? That's interesting. I'm excited to see how it will affect the duels in the battles. _________________

Hmmm. Interesting. I can almost imagine Clerics to be blasting purification magic and healing themselves, wile Thieves keep stealing their money. That's just my assumption though. Keep it up, Vextor. :D _________________

I can see those now.

That'd be sweet, but kinda unfair, don't you think? Like if that happened, I'd duel every member until I had all their money and then everyone would hate me. :/ _________________

Well, obviously it'd happen during war battles, and the duel engine would just give you an approximation of what you could steal should you duel this person for real in a battle or exploration etc.
But I think we're getting ahead of ourselves a bit here... |

Hahaha! I see shattered hopes everywhere. :P
The main modification in the duel system will more likely be just giving the duelist a choice whether he will use MAG or STR for offense and things like that. _________________
