Plus, I recall immortals saying they added a bonus to learning rates while in a group. The race thing will definitly boost your morale. I think grouping with similar alignments helps with this as well though my studies on morale and its affects haven't quite become that in depth yet. Not only good + good but chaotic + chaotic. Etc. etc.

Supposedly the group bonus its still not QUITE as good as solo ranking. But a human warrior I had recently learned a hell of a lot slower solo than my storm giant warrior in a group. (usually of elves, stormies, and various goodies)

I prefer it as is, and here's why	daurwyn(VIP)	January 31, 2009 02:20AM
Or each level gives 1% gain.	The Forsaken(VIP)	January 30, 2009 08:59AM
And to add...	The Forsaken(VIP)	January 30, 2009 09:01AM
Yeah I think this is a great idea, too. n/t	Balrahd(VIP)	January 30, 2009 09:23AM
Me too.	Mek	January 31, 2009 08:42AM
It is intelligent design.	smfii	January 30, 2009 03:41AM
That's exactly why World of Warcraft, and other games, suck. NT	Batman	January 30, 2009 04:11AM
Yeah. That + lower risk. I want ramifications if I fuck up nt	istirith	January 30, 2009 06:11PM
Agreed. NT	Matrik	January 30, 2009 11:07AM
The more posts like this I read, the more I think all defense skill %s should just be a flat 100%.	Balrahd(VIP)	January 29, 2009 11:04PM
Thing is 100's do mater....	lightmage	February 01, 2009 08:01AM
The vine's gone now :(	istirith	February 01, 2009 08:28AM
Let's have built in preps for mages too, and all warriors have saved weapons.	Rogue	January 30, 2009 02:40AM
I was being serious. I don't think setting defenses at 100% will as much of an impact as the other stuff you listed.	Balrahd(VIP)	January 30, 2009 07:49AM

Yeah, yeah I read what you said the first time, still not gettin it.	Rogue	January 31, 2009 02:21AM
Just a small clarification on my approach to playing	Mek	January 31, 2009 12:49AM

I don't think it would matter. txt	Isildur(VIP)	January 30, 2009 08:39AM
IMO non-defense skills should still have to be spammed.	Balrahd(VIP)	January 30, 2009 09:27AM
Well, the other way around this is to show neither %s, nor improvement messages~	ExPaladin(VIP)	January 30, 2009 03:15AM
More then 100%	ekvilibr	January 29, 2009 11:08PM
Plan you character	ekvilibr	January 29, 2009 10:47PM
Ok, enough with the slippery slope crap	Mek	January 29, 2009 10:53PM
Just do not play dumb races then	ekvilibr	January 29, 2009 10:59PM
I really don't	Mek	January 29, 2009 11:30PM
There are other things to worry about besides skill percentages that fuck up your 'luck of the draw' game way more.	Scrimbul	January 30, 2009 08:02AM
Hey man I DO realize all of that, hence...	Mek	January 30, 2009 08:29AM
I have better solution	dervish	January 29, 2009 08:58PM
I wouldn't call them lazy, BUT	deriveh	January 29, 2009 11:06PM
Okay then	dervish	January 29, 2009 11:33PM
Re: I wouldn't call them lazy, BUT	ekvilibr	January 29, 2009 11:12PM
That is a good idea actually. :D n/t	deriveh	January 30, 2009 02:24AM
It wouldn't ruin a thing	Mek	January 29, 2009 10:31PM
What annoys me.	cointreau	January 29, 2009 03:07PM
I wouldn't even bother on parry/dodge/shield block.	istirith	January 29, 2009 03:15PM
Only problem with that...	AncientNewbie	January 29, 2009 04:28PM
Honestly. Solo ranking = better skills is a myth.	Pro	January 29, 2009 05:18PM
Re: Honestly. Solo ranking = better skills is a myth.	Matrik	January 29, 2009 06:08PM
That's pretty much my experience.	Pro	January 30, 2009 06:37AM
Are you implying that three of the same race provides a ranking bonus even for non-orcs?	Jib	January 29, 2009 06:01PM
Three felar, at least, get a really noticable increase. I've never had any other same race group.~	ibuki	January 29, 2009 06:37PM
Fuck aim.	cointreau	January 29, 2009 03:59PM

My god, shut up already. FFS.	Scrimbul	January 29, 2009 12:29PM
Our priorities must vary considerably	Mek	January 29, 2009 03:46PM
It's not that bad	asthiss	January 29, 2009 09:17PM
Sorry man, but...	Mek	January 29, 2009 10:37PM
I can kill your level 15 dex race, and probably your level 25 and 30 one, with an orc or a giant or a duergar.	Scrimbul	January 29, 2009 11:08PM
Agreed	cyril	January 29, 2009 10:51AM
Except one of the original reasons for the change was to benefit higher int chars nt.	laearrist	January 29, 2009 12:05PM
