#65020, "Goblin Competitiveness"


          

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.

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.

Skill set is amazing as it is. Int sucks.

And goblins are purely about fun.

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.

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

Deleting was the right choice but not because of int

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.

In response to Reply #6


          

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?

=)

You are fundamentally a thief without knife or backstab or hide pre-25...
