    It is much better than it was before; I appreciate the Dev's making this change.

    I realize it may not be possible because of the way house assets are built, but someday in the far future, if we could paint our houses, that would be awesome!

    I didn't read anything in the R34 instructions about "dragon armor". Are you seeing something that I'm not?

    MrBlight,

    What they are saying is they fixed whatever bug was effecting people for no success chance AND now at lower levels you'll get a higher success rate, and the rate of gains as you level the skill up will diminish, so for example:

    (Old) (These numbers are totally made up for this example!)
    0 Level - 0%
    20 Level - 20%
    40 Level - 40%
    60 Level - 60%
    80 Level - 80%
    100 Level - 100%

    (New) (These numbers are totally made up for this example!)
    0 Level - 0% (Same)
    20 Level - 35% (vs. 20% linear Old)
    40 Level - 60% (vs. 40% linear Old)
    60 Level - 77.5% (vs. 60% linear Old)
    80 Level - 90% (vs. 80% linear Old)
    100 Level - 100%

    Hope that these example numbers illustrate what they are indicating.

    V/R Brickbat

    Great patch and thats about all this is - a piddly little patch
    Real structural and mechanical problems ignored
    Lets slap ourselves on the back over designing the car upholstery and wooden dashboard trims and ignore to design an actual vehical to put it in

    FOR GODS SAKE FIX THE TARGETING SYSTEM (it's embarrassing)
    FOR GODS SAKE ALLOW US TO COMMUNICATE IN A WORLD CHAT (is this an MMO or what?)
    FOR GODS SAKE ALLOW THOSE WHO ARENT ANAL RETENTIVE TO ENJOY THE GAME ALONG WITH THOSE WHO ARE LIVING IN THE PAST YEARNING FOR THE RESURRECTION OF ULTIMA ONLINE
    NO I DONT WANT TO READ EVERY NPC'S DIALOG ( And guess what the vast majority of those who will be buying the product to make it sustainable so those of you who get off building fireplaces in virtual houses in virtual worlds can continue getting your willies doing that DONT GIVE A DAMN READING NPC's DIALOG EITHER)
    STREAMLINE QUESTING!


    or all this will fizzle up and die after release as the gaming community (the casual paying public )consigns years of work to the scrap heap

    REMEMBER THE GOLDEN RULE: HARDCORE GAMING = self MASTURBATION it only lasts about 30 seconds and then your watching Gilligans Island reruns!

    PS dont get me wrong i love this game and could write pages on whats innovative and exciting

    Woooooot a non plate armor that has defence of a plate armor to give more defence to light armor users?, That is not cool.
    We have say alot that Archers and Mage build are way more powerfull that melee, first the Magic Attunmet is a free Bonus that melee classes Dont have, and we have to learn Magic to make our selft more powerfull and the deal with frizzle problem… And the last the slow skills with 100 feet range and 10 seg duration ? That is just gg for melee in pvp.
    I Dont understad if you realize if we continue with this all player Will b Archers and Mage.
    New meta "Tank Shield Mage Build Dps with non plate armor that resist has a plate armor" lol

    More power to all melee classes.!

    I completely agree with the armor thing but I disagree about archers. As a melee (bludge / stun), archers are now one of the easiest things for me to kill. Mages of course utterly trump all. Currently all of the best PvP'ers are mages running similar builds and a few key spells that utterly dominate. The best battles are between these mages themselves.

    2 things
    Thanx for reply on my collar question thats fantastic, looken forward to it.

    2nd, melee needs work yes. But i also think if they adjusted 1 h weps like they did, its a pretty massive boost to fighters.
    Mages still trump all. Archers will benifit but not be completly show stopping with new armor. And that duration on slow isnt as massive as ud think.

    Melee needs work and balancing, but they DID take a step towards it here. Archers cant destroy plate fighters simply, even with that slow increased. Now 1h adjustment means shields are viable ( from my understanding ) which will hugely impact ure ability to survive and close that range quickly then its gameover.
    But pvp is still mages vs mages with same spells for win build, for now.

    I think you'll see some of this leveling out with R35/36 with the Damage Types. Bone Armor will probably be focused on Physical. And I imagine there will be heavy armors to help resist various energy styles as well.

    Wow mellow out. Maybe the negatives for you personally outweigh the positives. I don't disagree with everything you say here, but if you don't like the game, try another one, maybe?
