Proposal: Remove PB from the bash landing calculation

[reil]

God you are dumb.

Weapon OB being upped across the board with total defense also being upped across the board. Combo weapons also hit just as much OB as abs weapons so I don't even know what you're talking about here.

180 ob hits abs just as easily as 200 ob.

200 ob hits dodge and combo more often than 180 ob.

See how the relative benefit there is slanted towards absers? Was that slow enough?!

Rest of it is just noise, so I assume Kryyg took over.

180 OB would hit 280-300 defense the same 200 ob will hit 300-340 defense.

See that ?!?

This is the dumbest thread I’ve seen this month

[matheus]

Would 190 OB hit 290-310 defe the same as 210 ob hitting 310 to 350 defense? Is this the argument our future generation will be having in 10 years?!!

[reil]

180 OB would hit 280-300 defense the same 200 ob will hit 300-340 defense.

See that ?!?

I can see why you might set a lower threshold of '280' when you're used to 400 defense and 75% abs on the only character you can play without spam-dying, but that's not really how it works in general.

I don't think any fix to stats will help any situation now. Everyone already has super stats and super statted alts. There's nothing to really be done there. It will just be a classic wotmud ladder pull up for the new players to have even less advantage.

Not if it applies retroactively, that'd be a big part of any major overhaul to point distribution system. But I'll tally one for 'jerking off to our zero-effort-botted or reroll-cheated stats in perpetuity' for posterity.

I like this idea.

As nice of a theoretical thought of a pfile stat wipe and point allocation would be, we'd see numbers dwindle even further. Overall net loss for the smaller % of folks who would be for such a game-killing thing.

[reil]

Yeah, a part of me also doesn't want stats system fixed now that I have my 18 19 19 17 15 blands channie and 19 16 16 19 19 hunters/warriors/rogues/fade over the course of 23+ years, but the other part of me knows that's like arguing "making the game actually resemble a game is game-killing".

I guess we've had such overwhelming success over the years with the current statting/rerolling system there's just no sense in even considering changing it.

[Thore]

Not that I am a MUD historian by any means, but what little I have heard or know of other MUDS, some have died off after pfile wipes. That's all I'm saying.

The point of abs is to train you into a zen state of being where you constantly embrace your own mortality and let go - of xp, eq, tps, qps, friends, clanmates, everything

The point of everything else is about accumulation, consumption, monopolising, competition, endless aspiration, flexing, self aggrandisement, and eventually frustration.

It is a classic eastern philosophy vs western capitalism problem

And the answer is - play abs, have nothing, be happy

Rhys will agree with me! And also zarth
And every true abs pker
