#57, "RE: two points (and the crowd goes wild)"


          

So I did better start practicing real fast here beacuse NOBODY IS AVOIDING THE PRACTICING TRAP!!

You're misinterpreting Nepenthe's point. He was talking about pre-2001 CF, when practicing physical defenses was trivial- any giant could have 100% across the board in a about half an hour.

Back then, basically everyone had the 100% skills except the most newbieish people (who didn't realize how easy it was to practice), the top end (who didn't need no stinking 100% parry to whoop you), and players like me (who get bored practicing easily, and just go do other things).

By getting rid of the ridiculous kobold swarm method of practicing, you're better off not worrying about it, in my opinion. The amount of time it would take to intentionally practice the skills up would be better spent exploring, etc. And my experience has been that:

1) The skills go up anyway with time.
2) The difference between "this is where my parry ended up" and 100% parry is so small as to not be worth worrying about.
3) Intentionally practicing a skill is pretty darn boring.
