23109, Edges
Posted by Panir on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Any thought on making edge gaining somewhat static? I mean, every newb I've rolled up in the past month (a lot of them) has gotten the standard 1k immxp for having a role etc. so you guys are pretty good at handing out xp, and seem on top of things. However: if you want to encourage new players perhaps make gaining "edge points" or whatever it is that accumulates to allow you to buy edges static. That way no one is left out. And it makes the game seem more welcoming.

23111, That sounds like the exact opposite of what edges are for.

I assume by "somewhat static" you mean that edge points should be handed out at some predetermined points in a characters life. Like weapon specs and legacies are now for warriors. The problem with that is that edges are rewards for a characters actions whether it is RPing, PKing, exploring, etc, they not free perks to be automatically obtained.

I agree that in general it might be harder for a new player to take full advantage of edges as they first learn the game but that is no different then any other aspect of the game that requires time and experience to master. Cheapening edges isn't the solution to this.

23110, Edges are the last thing a newbie should worry about, don't know how to use them and don't need them to function. nt
