Introducing 5ba/20 (in General)


Brakke Bres [Ow man] March 30 2009 12:51 PM EDT

As mpr's rise and rise and characters are getting bigger and bigger.

Many characters up top have very high rewards for EXP and cash, yet the stragglers around 3mil have trouble making ends meat.

Introducing the 5 BA per 20 minutes regen rate.
As high MPR's have bigger rewards than 2.5+mil mpr characters but they still have the same regen rate.

Is this fair? And should CB introduce a 5 BA rate for the MPR top 5-10%?

Should a new regen rate be introduced to slow character growth down?

Or is it good at the moment and we want to see the first 7mil mpr characters by the end of the year?

Per your own statement: "Many characters up top have very high rewards for EXP and cash, yet the stragglers around 3mil have trouble making ends meet.(sp)"

New regen rate will not make any difference for those up at the top. They will get even higher rewards and the so called 3m stragglers you speak of will be straggling at a different mpr.

Henk, I assume you mean to lower their BA rate without increasing their rewards?

Brakke Bres [Ow man] March 30 2009 1:30 PM EDT

indeed, lowering BA rates and only slightly raising rewards but not proportional

If you recall, back in CB1 and for a little while in CB2 we had xp requirements that went up. I can't find the changelog, but Jon changed it so that CB2 now has xp requirement of 12 for anything you train.

Having higher xp requirements to train slows down growth. I thought this worked out well. I just can't find the reason why it was changed.

It was changed because the db and server were eating themselves alive when calculating evasion during fights.

Also should there then be made a new realm?


Shire
Rivendell
Lorien
Gondor
Fangorn

The changelog where levels now cost 12 per.

Fangorn is even more ancient than Mordor and Mordor should be the place where banned accounts should go to ;p

But frodo had to go there in order to 'beat the game'

Admindudemus [jabberwocky] March 30 2009 3:36 PM EDT

there may already be a function doing just that. the mini zone within a ba refresh zones seem to be endless.

Well yes you could introduce a new realm for people that are here for two years.

And no it can't be Mordor :P

"But frodo had to go there in order to 'beat the game' "

Frodo and Sam were totally multi... Try to beat the game, and you'll end up in Mordor ~_^
