Title: request and demand
Post by: arpade on December 04, 2007, 09:38:12 pm
In low levels i think its quite fair. But when reaching hero ranks the fact goods can request seems pretty imba. Though this ability is coerent with rp, a good shouldent go killing a paladin for his equip, its easy to see that evils have loads more trouble getting their shinies.
Imagine a fresh new reboot. A good char wants the meddalion of mishakal, some elysium equips, a nice and shiny vengeance. he takes about 10 min in the game and gets all of it (i know this stuff will never be all available at the same time, just *imagine*).
Now a evil would love to get his unholy avenger, and... before he gets on the rest of his list, he already took at least 30 min to get it, if he doesent take hours (i know i do). by this time that same goodie char already took half of the equips the evil would use as well and walla. imba.
maybe demand skill should be automatic for all evils and have some REAL chancess of success. I dont know (could be lame if all killing is removed for equip gathering, then it gets banal).  I also cant think of a way to remove request.... It just doesent seem fair.

Make good char and request relics before your enemies do. Then log on evil and hunt your low naked enemies :)                                             Machiaveli

Doesn't seem fair? What's fair in love and war? Besides, what doesn't seem fair is that I don't know where to find all the shinies!!!  :P :P ;D ;) :-*
