With that upgrade, I have a few combat maneuvers in mind, and maybe an actual combat style. We'll see. I still have quite a bit of other coding to get done in the process.<br /><br />Or, for that matter, I could probably show you a few things so that you could get a start on coding them up yourself, but being a dev tends to take a considerable amount of time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268730032056823886.post-10846000530661627382010-10-18T11:44:35.946-07:002010-10-18T11:44:35.946-07:00QQ here too, not that I believe a word of itQQ here too, not that I believe a word of itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268730032056823886.post-88694026027533889692010-10-18T11:43:40.620-07:002010-10-18T11:43:40.620-07:00QQQQAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268730032056823886.post-52179175496262548422010-01-30T07:00:19.101-08:002010-01-30T07:00:19.101-08:00True actually, Rangers did get a LOT of bonus spec...True actually, Rangers did get a LOT of bonus specs, and I forgot to mention in the main post about the awesome applicability and versatility of this new bonding process. Familiars for wizards, followers for leaders, friendship/loyalty bonds, hell even Knights being able to bond their warhorse something I mentioned in an earlier post. Definitely a huge accomplishment.Gavadelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04950691928775181234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268730032056823886.post-76853725133503762982010-01-30T06:34:06.907-08:002010-01-30T06:34:06.907-08:00Verynvelyrae only get spec bonuses based on their ...Verynvelyrae only get spec bonuses based on their familiar, that's right. Many familiars now grant fieldcraft bonuses (or do once you get the bond strength up) appropriate to the bond.<br /><br />Old Ranger base spec bonuses (from the guild itself, not from bonds) were put in when Rangers had shitty animal summons and no familiars to speak of. Then familiars came along, with a shitload of default spec bonuses, and I never bothered updating the base specialties.<br /><br />I felt like the bonus specialties had gotten a bit out of control, and also couldn't see the justification for it. Familiars give you more bonus specialties than anything else in the game, plus everything else familiars do.<br /><br />However, I'll give you a nice clue as to something familiars do now, that might make up for it. Some familiars have the ability to modify the formula that determines your combat ratings. For example, if you bond to an orthros, it makes your fieldcraft skills count for more in your combat ratings. How much more they count depends on how high your bond is. At max strength, you will be getting over +4 per point of fieldcraft skill! Dog familiars make your tactics, among other things, count for much more. Small bird familiars will give you crazy dodge bonuses based on your sky fieldcraft and some other things. And so on.<br /><br />So the general combat bonus from getting a bonus spec in fieldcraft skills is gone, and has been replaced by something more specific and, in many cases, far better. And moreover, this mechanic coheres quite well with the notion that your familiar is subtly working its way into your soul and changing everything about you. In this case, changing your fighting style, as it were.<br /><br />As for skinning, I actually really like skinning, it's just that the code for it was old and broken, and it was really hard to support it in a way that didn't lead to it being unbalanced. It's also modeled really poorly. At some point someone will make better crafting mechanics. While usually I'm inclined to leave the crappy code in place until better code replaces it, in this case the skinning code had been a sore spot on an otherwise completely rewritten guild for multiple years, and I just got tired of it.Twilightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268730032056823886.post-34477264803458680952009-11-27T15:50:22.539-08:002009-11-27T15:50:22.539-08:00Glad to see a post Gav, I've not been logging ...Glad to see a post Gav, I've not been logging in much myself, but I tend to check the blogs. Vanishing Tower always was a quick death for my characters, so not much of an impact for me. I was sad to see the Hotel California go, I understand "cleaning" the mud stylistically, but at least renaming keeps content. Every little bit helps. Those glowing bracelet the eagle dropped eliminated the need to worry about the annoying mechanic of night blindness for poor human Wilson.<br /><br />I'm thinking of pumping Charisma and having Wilson get out of the Rangers and into ELF...the higher level stuff seems to laugh at big physical hits alone. I would be tempted to keep brute and leave the Rangers if Iggy did not have to die, but then again I suppose that would defeat the charisma synergy anyway.<br /><br />I'll try to get a Quell backstory going at some point for your amusement...

Just remember turn is based on charisma and/or willpower (a dev can correct me on this) and Gav is an amberite. So his turn is (and should be) quite a bit better than a human knight's would be at the same level.<br /><br />That isn't the problem. I turn and I'm able to do some damage, but not enough to outright kill him. All I do is 5turn and he's a dead undead. And that isn't right.Gavadelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04950691928775181234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268730032056823886.post-18731681940373681112009-07-11T08:09:20.648-07:002009-07-11T08:09:20.648-07:00Amen brother Gavadel!
