FoF: It's Friday go Frolick - Chrissay Zeeman - 10 Apr 2009 18:19:15 - In this Five on Friday we cover Throwing, Faction Artifacts, and the Doom point system. Is there anything special waiting to boost archery w SA that won’t make it immediately obsolete against Bladeweaving? We don't want throwing to be necassarily better (or worse) than archery, just different in how it plays. Also, throwing will be exclusive to Gargoyles, and archery is exclusive to humans and elfs. There will be a period of testing coming up where you'll be able to give us feedback on throwing so that we can balance it with archery. -Wilki -- Please explain the point system in more detail for doom.  I can spend hours in doom soloing and get nothing.  Seems to me that if drops are based on a point system that if someone solos something that person should receive all the points that it offers. Instead of looking at is as the "total points available" on the doom boss, think of it as a value that determines how many points each person attacking the boss gets in the end. That means that the person who did the most damage gets the maximum available points from the encounter for a given player. If another person joins in, the amount of points available as a total is increased, however they'll get a bit less than the top attacker did. So, the way to look at this system is that it increases the available points from a boss to accomodate adding more players to the boss fight without punishing those already there. -Wilki -- Why do faction artifacts have so much durability compared to regular articfacts? The faction artifacts can only have their durability restored with the powder of perseverance a few times; each time drops the overall durability of the item by a large chunk. Additionally, many of these artifacts can be damaged in equipment slots, where non-artifact versions wouldn’t take damage at all. Thus, they have a higher initial amount of durability. -Draconi -- Will there ever be an easier way to turn a character from red to blue? The current time to turn my character from red to blue is over 800 hours... We’re considering a one-time reprieve at some point in the future. -Draconi - Could you adjust the library rewards system to accept commodity deeds for items that can be placed under a commodity deed?  I would like to donate some wood (and did once) but it is too troublesome to repeat the task. I thought the hard part was to be the gatherin' not the donatin' The donation system for community collections needs an overhaul in general, and we’re still discussing options. This is a great idea though – it would at least help with some of the common resources.. -Draconi
