NPC dummies on duel server

[San]

It would be cool (especially with STF characters) to test your damage and retrieve some actual damage value back. Have them located in a somewhat more isolated location than where duels usually take place.


~3/4 for naked/light armor, medium armor, and heavy armor/plate. They have unlimited health and stay in place, but when you hit them you get a message concerning how much damage you dealt (maybe even speed bonus).

It could help people with timing of attacks, target practice for ranged, or give info on the effectiveness of your STF character with actual figures.

I doubt a few NPCs with this specific purpose will be taxing on the server or anything, and duel doesn't usually have more than 20 people unless it's right before a strat battle.

It would be cool to have the NPC's from regular tutorial in there too. I constantly tell people to practice on the native tutorial people when learning how to block. Thats usually out of the way and they do it once or twice and go eh, not worth the effort.

I agree with and support these ideas.  Especially the idea of showing speed bonuses for hitting the dummies.  Many folks don't realize how important they are.


Stranger suggestion: could we have dummies with wooden weapons that stand in place and attack?  This could help folks learn to block, especially if there were different difficulties...

Go to a duel server on native, it has bots. I forgot the name.

The devs will never let us know how much damage we are doing to anyone.

God forbid we know how our build is.

Nditions is the name.

Very Very Good idea +1
