goldbond Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 i wouldnt know, but dont IMMs play around on the test port? couldnt you guys just change racial and class attributes all the time and fight each other and find out what works and what doesnt?

Iyorvin Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Yeah, but who determines what works and what doesn't. What is balanced and what isn't? With what race is which class balanced and which isn't. I'm sure the imms make suggestions enough, but it's up to one man if they are made. They can't just all log on and run around like idiots with uber power combos trying to pk each other..........right.......who would do that. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRins Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 who would run around with uber power combos to PK each other? Basically everyone in the game...exceptions to those who branch out, those with great skill who could really play whatever R/C they wanted, and those who just let their projected RP guide R/C choice instead of what is the current 'hot' R/C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldbond Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 i think running around doing exactly that on the test port, collating the results, and coding changes based on them would solve a lot of issues. or could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questioner Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Naw, not even the immortals can come up with the ingenuitive tricks that some characters use. Immortals themselves playing the combos in question won't give an exact result as to what a class or race should be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangelion Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Surprisingly, I'm in agreement with Questioner on this one. The number of immortals we have presently is not a large enough test group to come up with a conclusive set of results regarding individual class balance. Not in any sort of reasonable time frame, anyway. Excluding blatant errors in judgement, as well as advantages in equipment and cabal abilities, it would probably take at least a month of playing a class against the entire playerbase for an IMM to make decisions about a class' balance. It would take probably triple that to do it via the test port, with only ten or twelve other competitors. Now, what you could do is set up a port, much like the one that was hosted some time ago by Savnt (?), which people could log onto, get armor, and fight. Assuming that there is enough maturity to avoid ganging, a select group of players, along with immortals, could test at their convenience, broadening your sample a little. However, the likelihood of that happening is slim to none. Probably closer to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
