65020, Goblin Competitiveness
Posted by Tac on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
First, are goblins meant to be competitive PK-wise and/or PVE wise?

If no... can you explain what they are supposed to be... If yes, I have some thoughts.
65028, I think they should get the orcish set snares skill

At 40, the same level orcs get it. It won't make them competitive but at least max level goblins will have the ability to be mildly annoying in special circumstances.
65029, I think they should get int toned up

Skill set is amazing as it is. Int sucks.
65030, Not sure why it matters. 100% kick isn't going to win any more fights than 80% kick

65032, Mastering time matters for fun purposes
Posted by Kstatida on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
And goblins are purely about fun.
65034, But skill mastering doesn't matter for fun purposes
Posted by KaguMaru on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
So the point is moot.
65038, My definition of fun
Posted by Kstatida on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
involves killing people with little timesink :)
65039, Then it does not include playing goblins
Posted by KaguMaru on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Goblins suck. They SUCK. Try playing one. Now try PKing solo with one.

You've proven that you can PK. Now all that's left to do is prove goblins can PK. Put up some numbers and I'll concede the argument.
65040, I've rolled goblins in the past

Dropped because of int. It didn't seem like a long-time project so I didn't have patience to master skills. So goblins = no fun :)
65041, They still suck with straight 100's so you know
Posted by KaguMaru on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Deleting was the right choice but not because of int
65042, Still definitely because of int
Posted by Kstatida on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
But it's my int instead
65025, I'd say they can be, but aren't meant to be

Trip, cheap shot, and a free charmie are enough to terrorize people in the 30's, while being a victim to almost any one in the 40's.

I also thought goblins were chars you play just to have fun because you know you'll never really be a powerhouse. It's kind of relieving not caring much about pk. Hell, your impact on cabal wars is basically whipping lower level retrievers.

Have you played one? They can do quite a bit, but the level 40 cap sort of tells you what their real role is in Thera.
65033, that's the general idea n/t

65035, Gremlin!
Posted by Lhydia on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Isn't that a gremlin?

But also do Goblins get edges when they hit 40 since they can't go to 51?

Can you turn edges back on for everyone?

=)
65036, It's mostly pre-25 I think the skillset is weak...
Posted by Tac on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
You are fundamentally a thief without knife or backstab or hide pre-25...
