All right, so the point cap is established, but my brother says you only get 500 points max from a backstab.
Also, the Backstab is supposed to be insta-kill, right? It only takes out about 75% of a Rotondo's HP with 20-25 players on the server, and same with Celestia. Should the damage be turned up?

The point cap is 1000 and you get 1000 points for a backstab, also it only does that because their HP is very high with that many peole on due to their HP per player ammount.

1. Ok, thank you for the clarification.
2. I'm asking Pecon if that was intentional or not.

It's semi intentional. Initially, backstabs were just really powerful attacks that took out absurd amounts of the boss's health. When we transitioned over to the new health system, backstabs became absurdly weak because they operated through the boss's base health (100) instead of their scaled health (Could be upwards of 10000). I simply edited the backstab to divide the damage resistance by ten during its effect. That, however, seems to have caused strange effects. Points for one backstab are totally unpredictable, and damage, while usually an instant kill, may not be. I haven't gotten around to improving the system.

It isn't supposed to be an insta-kill on high health bosses and/or very high player counts.


Damnit Jetz you beat me.


I guess I'm not fully informed either.

Interesting. Good to know!
It would be nice if they got that fixed up, then the backstabbers wouldn't get yelled at as 'point wasters'.

Once, some dumbass accused me of not caring about anyone's feelings when I backstabbed several bosses that were standing there proclaiming "free points!" Tell the people who have a problem with backstabbing what I told him: "You're not playing for points, you're playing to win."

I'm with him, if they want people to have points, Jetz will get it.

I 100% agree with this. If you want free points, backstab Badspot. Heck, make an attempt to backstab any boss, at that!

God I hate when bosses do that. Just play the freaking game, guys. You can't expect a completely idle boss NOT to get backstabbed. If it's your turn to be the boss and you don't want to play boss, just kill yourself in the spawn room instead of wasting the normals' time.

Dude, you didn't read the above posts did you? We're saying that backstab might not give the points it's supposed to give.

So? It still gives points, regardless.
