New duel system set to be activated
Version 1.33 is not far away from release now, and we’ve received some important news: the new duel formula is planned for activation! The exact formulas have always been shrouded in secrecy and this revision will be no different, however we have been informed of the basic changes. According to the developers the formula is more a series of tweaks than a new invention, with the following skills expected to be balanced:
Stronger: Aim, Dodge
Weaker: Appearance, Tactics, Toughness, Reflex
These changes should favour “traditional” ranged duellers with high aiming, shooting and dodging in exchange for appearance and tactics taking a hit. (Perhaps that is favourable where “split skills” for challenging and defending are no longer as influential…) Resistance duellers and dedicated charisma builds may feel a pinch though, arguably not a bad thing in terms of game balance.
Tip of the day: your stance greatly affects your aiming and dodging ability!
Now just for a second forgetting the rest of the duel changes .... WHAT THE HECK IS THAT TIP SAYING ???
Well ill make it clear to what i think it says and what ive found to be true already ..... its more about total guess work where you aim or dodge than ever before....
All it says to me is...... If you guess correct with reasonable aim youll hit if you guess wrong with reasonable dodge youll get hit ..... which means dueling just got totally stupid and all about guesswork and luck ..... well whoop dee doo now all average players can win duels... pathetic.
Seems to me no one wants any pure or very good dueling players in this game anymore ... its beyond belief that an average job build or fort build should even be able to have an equal chance in duels ... thats what duelers give up ... jobs and fort performance for the duel...
You make this game all about average players you just lost a significant section of your customer base.....
I get there are tweaks needed but honesty ....
Tip of the day: your stance greatly affects your aiming and dodging ability!
Roll the dice and hope you guessed correctly.... Are you fracking kidding me ?
