#42188, "How is this any better than just making the prep knowledge allowed public?"
|
I dont think preps are bad for the game. I even think some things should stay non circulated, like area explore stuff. But do you really think removing all preps from the game is going to benifet CF even a little bit more than just saying "Fine, leave the wand system as is, its diverse enough, but let people circulate their wand lists". That way the newbie has a place to start looking, nobody gets "Free" wands or protections, you can still get them on tough mobs/have to look for yours. If you remove all preps from the game, I personally think that will be the nail in the coffin of CF. A even remotely playing field would be impossible. Would paladins lose sanctuary. Ragers deathblow? Resistance? Would bards lose protective songs? I find it hard to believe you could remove all the protections from the game without destroying it totally.
General consensus from the playerbase is that preps are cool. Even back in the days of purple potions, people liked them. The difference between then and now is back then, it was common knowledge where to get the preps, and now, you punish people for sharing that knowledge. I think its a great system. But its an online game. Short of area explore, let the knowledge be public and vets will no longer have an advantage against newbies. You want to prep? Easy, heres where to look. Go spend your time and energy gathering preps. The only thing the playerbase doesnt seem to like is the timesink and gamble you take on the character looking for wands that are quite possibly on mobs you have never even heard of.
I mean come on guys. Sleek black rods in area explores? Several of them at that? Are you trying to kill the newbies off?
I think this is a great staff, and a great game. I love to play it. I only speak up on this matter because I personally think a lot of bitching would stop when people dont have to hide their wand lists.
I would personally play a mage if some of the gamble of the ABS system was gone. I like some sort of option to gather protetions though, weather everyone else has the same option or not. If all preps were gone from the game, I doubt I and many others would be able to love it like we do now. If I wanted to play POS, I would boot my own copy and play POS.
