#61967, "Just eliminate Obs/Explore already."
|
I've always agreed with the sentiment that a char at 500 hours should have way more edges then a 100 hour char. Edges should be a factor of longevity, not of efficient farming which is what most of the PB has reduced it to. All they want is the most points the earliest they can to have PK advantages.
I do believe even as it is Old Age characters have lots of perks. Old age yields skill perfection in pretty much every skill as compared to young chars, and generally the old guys will have more edges just by far more opportunities to earn points in the form of pk, role xp, cabal xp, imm xp.
The obs/xp system, the more I see people try to farm it as if it was some mandatory grind, makes me think it needs to go away completely.
Instead, give every char seasoned traveler, twitchy, wise recovery (they all seem sort of generally age and experience related)
At 75 hours you get seasoned traveler. At 150 hours you get Wise Recovery. At 200 hours you get Twitchy. At 300 hours points to spend freely, and the same for every 100 hours there til you die.
Seems like a better system, and edges would more be a little more reflective of longevity.
No matter what the system, CFers will try to farm it. So really, eliminating their ability to do so is the only workable and equitable for all players solution. At this point, obs/explore are the most farmable things, and generally appears to also be the most broken in terms of the disparity it creates between highly skilled and newer players (speaking solely in the edge point arena). Though PK tiers is also pretty bad.
