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

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. |

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

Tell the people who have a problem with backstabbing what I told him: "You're not playing for points, you're playing to win." |
