#25209, "RE: It is not because goodies suck"
|
>Can you explain how, for example, a good arial dagger spec is >weaker than an evil arial dagger spec (on the arena for >example) or a good elf invoker vs a drow invoker (no cabal >powers).
No I can't, because that's not what I'm claiming. Mechanics wise they're mostly identical.
My guess is that the staff have realized that without the "perks" to being good-aligned that nobody would play good-aligned characters, for all the reasons mentioned elsewhere in this thread.
As a side note, another reason (besides having fewer targets) that goodies don't get as many kills is that the targets they do have are typically of a higher average skill than the set of targets available to an evil character. So not only are there fewer people to kill, the set of people you can kill is going to consist of a higher-than-normal percentage of vets.
One other thought on the stats you posted:
Kostyan, Djabree and Khargurln managed to accumulate those goodie kill counts while also killing a ton of neutrals and evils. Had they decided to concentrate solely on killing goodies then I would expect their goodie kill counts to be slightly higher. Djabree, for instance, was focused on killing mages, then members of Empire and Scion, all of whom are evil.
Here's an expanded list with the top 15 for each alignment in terms of total PK wins, in order of total PK wins, with number of "opposite align" kills listed:
Evil:
Kostyan, 174 Djabree, 95 Blitzenturt, 223 Hunsobo, 241 Igbah, 173 Kharghurln, 183 Ravon, 158 Kjrorh, 112 Nreisshe, 122 Vens, 94 Kanaev, 122 Grunlath, 139 Dulmisa, 130 Cabdru, 112 Palmer, 75
High: 241, Low: 75, Median: 130
Macha, 109 Niheriva, 150 Alriac, 119 Malthalia, 70 Gryshilniar, 110 Hyzin, 121 Jeqo, 81 Brinton, 111 Mizfara, 103 Darascus, 95 Mhardat, 57 Obaznuk, 83 Lariya, 83 Adhelard, 83 Dungard, 79
High: 150, Low: 57, Median: 95
And, like I said, if those evil characters had been concentrating on killing only good-aligned opponents then their goodie kill totals would be even higher. (At the expense of their overall kill totals, of course.)
