Author Topic: Why stats don't work (Read 5147 times)

People keep asking, so here is my reasoning on the subject:

The central reason for removing stats is that it divides the player base and requires much more content to have a full game. With no stats, any player has the option to use any of the weapons and items in the game:
   Sword
   Crossbow
   Throwing Knife
   Magic

But if we divide the players up into different classes, then each class can only effectively use one or two of those items. That means that there would have to be many many more items in order for each player to have the same number of options as they would without stats. You end up creating a seperate game for each player class. That is not an effective use of content for a game of this scale.

And it prevents people from walking up the Log Challenge. But I see your point, and I agree. With stats my magic sucked, but I could travel anywhere and snipe people with a bow. I lost against those damn mages. Oh well, there'll be no more of that.

to many peeps were complaining bout this...
however the seperation of classes would aid me in that my main fighting style is magic so that way i wouldntnt get yelled at for using it

I remember stats.......I could kill someone with the ball spell in like 4 hits xD

But they also ran super fast so it was harder to hit them, and they were able to climb tall mountains.

There could be a soulution to people who want stats possibly there could be a seperate game where there were stats and classes which would diversify the game and another game which would be the present one right now. But the chances of that happening is slim unless there is a high demand for game diversity.

The only thing I miss is being able to walk up small inclines.....that was fun.

bad spot there is a simple soultion to your delema. it is simple.just make it so stats increase speed of what it is your doing.for example make the magic only hit faster not harder.make the sword hit faster not harder.see what i meanthat would work
