General Discussion / Re: Lower the Marketplace Tax

« on: September 19, 2012, 12:38:22 pm »

You sound like someone who never bothered to make profit. And gold sinks(because the "tax" money doesn't go anywhere, it disappears forever, therefore you cannot call it a "tax") are meant to ensure that the amount of money doesn't go out of control, not to discourage people from trading with gold entirely.

Capitalism is the theory of completely self-driven economy, where the drive to "make profit" fuels the profiteer's motivation. So capitalism has no place in this marketplace, because everyone dislikes losing a lot of money due to 5% tax, and this leads to a crippled supply of offers requesting only gold. Maybe I should start dealing purely in heirloom points with gold to sweeten the deals.

I have used the marketplace a few times and I can't see how 5% ruins my profit(or would scare anyone away). Personally I find the 5% reasonable.


Blah, blah taking what I write way too serious to look smart.

The tax is fine how it is, you should just calculate the tax into the money you want. And if you can't because people are selling it much cheaper it's just bad luck. Of course this is only my opinion.

Business.

The text looks so out of place, Imo it would look better if the text was carved into the shield.... Or something similar.

In my opinion, it's just a horrible idea that will erode more fun out of the game.  There are ways to improve mechanics without limiting players further.  Let's see some of that.

Let's see some additions to mechanics that don't revolve around reducing player abilities.

This all the way.

I'm all up for giving archers a buff in melee.

Have you considered going hybrid yourself? Getting some throwing skill to cap their ass when they try kiting.. Surely I don't know if this will be good solution. Anyway I don't know much about it since I'm all melee myself, I'm just looking at the possibilities.

I don't think I 'll ever go STR build again, especially since these WPF buffs are on the way.

I hope they'll reset stats, if it's that game changing.

Going full WM when you don't want to spend points in multiple prof is usually a bad idea. I'm not a no-WM extremist, but if you got 24 agi, there's pretty much no difference between 5 and 8 WM, even with the heaviest armor you can use so I wouldn't go over 5, and that's only if you really want that speed. After that, IF is a much better investment.

Also, that is what I would do with a 92 speed weapon. If you plan on using faster ones, you can safely decrease WM even further.

I will keep this in mind, here is what I've been thinking so far:

(click to show/hide)

Strength: 21
Agility: 18
Hit points: 68

Skills to attributes: 8

Ironflesh: 6
Power Strike: 7
Shield: 1
Athletics: 6
Riding: 0
Horse Archery: 0
Power Draw: 0
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 3

One Handed: 1
Two Handed: 133
Polearm: 1
Archery: 1
Crossbow: 1
Throwing: 1

I'm a hybrid build and it allows me to counter almost everything.
I'm fast enough to catch pretty much anyone.
I hit hard enough to not glance or take 3598765 hits to kill someone.
And I'm super balanced and do well in most situations.

One of my builds.

15/24 (convert 8 Skills points to Attributes)
5 Power Strike
8 Athletics
8 Weapon Master
and then 2 Skill points left over for whatever you want.

WPF:

Twohanded - 135
Crossbow - 130

Or put WPF in whatever you would like.

Being a hybrid takes away from the boredom of the stretch at the end. It allows for versatility and situational options.

I could actually see myself using this, and I haven't used the crossbow much so it might spice things up.

While this SHOULD be in the beginners section, I don't see any real issue with threads like this.

To OP:

21/18 all the way!

My current build is:

21/18

7 PS
7 IF
3 WM
6 ATH

99 2 hand wpf
98 pole wpf

I can easily use any 2 hander or polearm with this build (wpf does next to nothing right now, so having a little less doesn't matter.) though my primary setup is a Pike and Langes Messer in 2H mode with either a medium armor setup (around heraldic mail level) or heavy armor (around Black Armor level). My alternative setup is a Long War Axe, Crossbow, and steel bolts with either of those armor setups.

How to use a build is really up to you. Personally I like to use circle-strafing footwork combined with jump attacks and holds. It took a while to learn how to do it properly (circle strafing incorrectly is a great way to get yourself one-shotted), but it's hella fun. Backpeddling is just... boring, and reach games aren't really my thing.


Practice different footwork styles, don't just copy what you see other people doing. If you do something that people have seen a thousand times before, they'll just anticipate you and the maneuver will likely fail. Therefore, try things out. Sometimes you'll die miserably, other times you can kill players with much more experience than you.

Normally I would prefer WM over IF but I might try it.
And it would be nice if someone could move this to the right section, thanks.

So I'm playing 2H, and I'm soon done with my second Gen and I've tried the balanced builds 21/18 and I'm currently 18/21, I'm thinking about trying 24/15.

I would like to see some interesting builds, and maybe a few pointers on how to use the builds.
