#70, "Edge Points"


          

So I know this has been hashed out in other threads that got too long to follow but I had a request and suggestion. At this point I'm playing the game as if edges don't exist because over the scope of 3 characters I've only seen 3 edge choices total. Edges are sorta dead with the way things are currently set up. Most new characters will get between 2-4 total after hero. I'm used to having between 20-30 at hero on a long lived character. On to the suggestion.

Scrap edge point system and give edges like thief points. Full edge lists every time you get an edge choice (take away devious versatility totally and only allow roll the bones/spin the wheel once).

1 edge choice at level 10
1 edge choice at level 20
1 edge choice at level 30
1 edge choice at level 40
1 edge choice at level 50
1 edge choice at level 51
1 edge choice at middle-aged
1 edge choice at old age


Give an edge choice for role contest rewards or general awesomeness. Let people just choose whatever edges they want (same skill % requirements) and take away any game breaking edges.

The IMM exp thing was good for the first couple of days then fell off, there aren't enough people to pk in low/mid ranks, and exploration for edges just doesn't work anymore. It is funny to see the amount of people that RP by themselves now though.

Thanks!

Your observation (or speculation) is different than mine. I think you're exaggerating.

Regardless, I'm not interesting in making major changes to edges after having just spent quite a bit of time planning and making changes to edges. Furthermore, I don't think what you're proposing is an improvement or addresses the concerns we have.

For what it's worth, I suppose a lump sum of edge points is a viable RC reward but that's up to the judging Immortal and not the player. To my knowledge we've never given RC winners the option to write their own ticket.

I'm not ruling out more changes or even a wholesale revamp to the edge system down the road, but I'm not doing it right now.
