I thought about this, since I'm a practice whore I have no issues with getting all my skill
near to perfect with in 30-50 hrs.(depending on race/class etc) 20 perfect skills at 20
right of the bat is crazy insane, An orc in the right hands, at that lvl with 20 perfect skills
is going to be tough. Not to mention all the other builds that dont come to shine until
X skills are 100.

Consolidation of Ranks Idea

dubs July 15, 2013 12:02PM

In my opinion

daurwyn(VIP) July 17, 2013 03:14AM

Okay, here's where I might have to light my torch and get the pitchfork.

The Faithful of Nazmorghul(VIP) July 17, 2013 09:04AM

No pitch-forks necessary. It's rather simple in my opinion.

sevriis July 17, 2013 10:18AM

It isn't this simple

daurwyn(VIP) July 18, 2013 12:39AM

Simplisticity + Randomness = Our brains want to believe spooky things are happening.

sevriis July 18, 2013 07:06AM

Yes, I understand stats, cause & effect etc.

daurwyn(VIP) July 18, 2013 11:43AM

Nothing that doesn't show in consider/improved consider. Mobs with a class > mobs without. I did leave that out but not intentionally.

sevriis July 18, 2013 11:50AM

Seems I'm at least partly correct

daurwyn(VIP) July 19, 2013 03:04AM

Indeed. A study with pigeons showed that when given food completely randomly, they would develop superstitious movements in order to get the food to appear. After a few confirmations they were damn near impossible to get rid of. (n/t)

Artificial July 18, 2013 11:40AM

This should be in Wiki. (n/t)

The Faithful of Nazmorghul(VIP) July 17, 2013 10:26AM

I think being observant will let anyone figure this shit out.

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 09:12AM

If that's the case...

The Faithful of Nazmorghul(VIP) July 17, 2013 10:23AM

I should probably make getting caballed and heroing as my goal next time I play.

DurNominator(VIP) July 17, 2013 11:53AM

Cabals are boring. Be my uncaballed hero buddy. (n/t)

Matrik July 17, 2013 12:11PM

That's boring too since I don't have any cabalmates or things to do that way.

DurNominator(VIP) July 17, 2013 05:16PM

I have one problem with cabals.

Murphy July 17, 2013 06:14PM

double post, sorry (n/t)

Murphy July 17, 2013 06:13PM

RE: 84% against people who in a very short span not only power-ranked but are a brick wall of 100% in their skill lists.

sevriis July 17, 2013 10:30AM

It's def. a mix based on what a player wants to prioritize.

zannon July 17, 2013 10:41AM

DBL post, please delete (n/t)

zannon July 17, 2013 10:41AM

Good enough.

The Faithful of Nazmorghul(VIP) July 17, 2013 10:35AM

Caravan guards are a good skill practicing mob

zannon July 17, 2013 10:29AM

That's a fair point.

The Faithful of Nazmorghul(VIP) July 17, 2013 10:32AM

If it is based solely on level of the mob

zannon July 17, 2013 10:15AM

Couldn't you also occasionally heal, heal from the same mob? During the fight? :P (n/t)

smashtro July 17, 2013 11:09AM

Healers have refused to heal people fighting them for a while now. "Bah!" (n/t)

sevriis July 17, 2013 12:53PM

+9. This too should be archived, wiki-style. (n/t)

Re: In my opinion

asthiss July 17, 2013 05:07AM

I'm not 100% positive Daurwyn's post isn't misinfo, but

Splntrd July 17, 2013 05:50AM

I wouldn't liken these to the vine

daurwyn(VIP) July 17, 2013 06:34AM

Wouldn't that be to the effect of

RiderOfStorms July 17, 2013 07:14AM

I have a suspicion

daurwyn(VIP) July 17, 2013 12:02PM

Could certainly be...

Matrik July 17, 2013 12:13PM

I think I asked about this once.

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 06:39AM

Daev on mobs and skill gains

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 09:32AM

It is a little bit of one.

Matrik July 17, 2013 09:37AM

Right, and if that's all there is to it (level), then there's no beef. (n/t)

The Faithful of Nazmorghul(VIP) July 17, 2013 10:29AM

But that's not all

daurwyn(VIP) July 18, 2013 03:13AM

Consider?

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 09:39AM

You mean the macho edge? (n/t)

Artificial July 17, 2013 07:30PM

You know it has a downside, right? (n/t)

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 07:44PM

IMHO there's no downside for an experienced player

daurwyn(VIP) July 19, 2013 03:08AM

I believe macho also makes it hard to flee. I could be wrong but every time I took I'd panic three or four times before fleeing. (n/t)

tesline July 19, 2013 04:17PM

Macho definitely affects flee

Tolnum July 19, 2013 04:52PM

It seemed so for me but I always thought it was just my imagination. (n/t)

Murphy July 19, 2013 05:42PM

Wait... flaws give edge points?! That's news to me! nt

KoeKhaos July 19, 2013 04:03PM

Yes, but not much

daurwyn(VIP) July 20, 2013 02:21AM

If it blocked yells completely maybe...

Murphy July 19, 2013 03:14AM

No yelling, cant consider, cant be rescued, gotta lead groups. Nothing else. (n/t)

Artificial July 17, 2013 07:53PM

So it doesn't have wimpy 0%?

DurNominator(VIP) July 18, 2013 01:53AM

You can still set wimpy.

Murphy July 18, 2013 03:17AM

Well yeah. That's why I only took it once. (n/t)

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 07:57PM

I take flaws to enhance RP, not to power game.

Matrik July 17, 2013 10:03AM

Noob. (n/t)

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 11:35AM

Boob. (n/t)

Matrik July 17, 2013 11:58AM

So what mobs are tweeked that way? What are everyones best practice mobs? (n/t)

Doesn't feel so good, does it? (n/t)

Matrik July 17, 2013 11:32AM

Juju zombies are great for learning skills. Male/Female Tresnores in Azreth. n/t

Jerrokrar July 17, 2013 10:01AM

There was a dark guard in arial city that was top notch.

wrathpuppet July 17, 2013 07:30AM

Same as many others

+1 couldn't agree more with you agreeing with me. :P (n/t)

deriveh July 16, 2013 06:24AM

I consider myself a pretty good CFer, both PK, RP and Explore wise. And I never perfect skills by spamming save for parry on a sword spec and dodge on a dagger spec. The rest goes up by lvling/playing even with my giants.

deriveh July 15, 2013 08:46PM

A lot of people don't seem to get how the game is structured

butterfly July 15, 2013 07:04PM

This. And I personally would be interested in a flaw that makes you gain 3 times less experience. (n/t)

Bryntor July 15, 2013 06:11PM

If everything starts at 100%, about 50% of the reason to pick elf/d-elf is gone.

Well

Seems like it is moving towards POS. Which MUD has more players on any given night, POS or Carrion Fields?

ExPaladin July 15, 2013 02:59PM

What is POS? Short for piece of shit? (n/t)

Murphy July 15, 2013 03:56PM

yes. (n/t)

subov July 15, 2013 03:59PM

No! (n/t)

Murphy July 15, 2013 01:58PM

If you fast-forward to 20, your char should be gimped. All skills at ~75% or slow learning, not perfected skills.

smashtro July 15, 2013 12:50PM

Attempt at a helpful and articulate response.
