This is like..what I was posting about somewhere..minutes ago!

It's also sad to see just exactly HOW bad I suck at some things I thought I was fair-to-middling at, heh. But fun.

Wow, now that's educational. Some make me go  'eh?', that's for sure.

Interesting to actually see them.

None of these are a surprise, really. They all reflect how much they've been used and a guild's basic handicaps.

I'd love to see offense and defense listed now. Also, I'd like to see ()'s replaced with []'s (doesn't matter much, just aesthetics).
Lunch makes me happy.

Wow. This is a very, very nice addition, Tiernan. Thank you immensely.

No one on staff is just waiting for the opportunity to get revenge on someone who killed one of their characters years ago.

Except me. I remember every death. And I am coming for you bastards.

This is awesome. It's going to make me type skills even more obsessively than before.

Wowza.
I think I'm going to like this a little too much.

You win Armageddon, congratulations!  Type 'credits', then store your character and make a new one

I can't stop clicking it.  :-[

So, quick summary of these new values:

Range goes from:

Novice
Apprentice
Journeyman
Advanced
Master

These, like attributes, are relative according to each character's guild maximums and minimums.  A merchant/hunter with (Master) in archery might be the equivalent of a Ranger with (Apprentice) in archery.

Now obviously I don't know the actual values between the two guilds and subguilds, but I think it's a good call to make the skill level indications relative to our character's perspective.

No.

It's not normalized.

A merchant/hunter with Archery will never be a (Master).

And just to confirm, since we apparently weren't clear enough in ATS, Mansa is correct, it is NOT normalized by guild.

So subguild versions likely max at journeyman while main guild can go all the way up to master? Something along those lines it sounds like? It's interesting to see.

Are we sure about this?  If so, that is odd since I have a character who is [Edited] in their subguild craft.

Is it also a class skill though? If so then it makes sense from what I'm hearing, if not then there is likely a problem.

Heh, Staff already said it is based on max possible, not max possible for guild.

Sheesh.
A gaunt, yellow-skinned gith shrieks in fear, and hauls ass.

It is not a class skill, no.

I am disappointed, then.  Still a cool addition, but my preference would have been to "keep some of the magick" with basing it off of potential.

Ah, well.  I still love the change.

Whoah.  Double frigging blind.

I'm trippin' balls.  Not sure if I like or dislike.
April 02, 2010, 01:51:27 PM #44
I like it overall, I think. It makes some sense.
The level names seem suspiciously similar to Oblivion's mastery level names...

Not that that's a bad thing.
April 02, 2010, 01:56:15 PM #45
Whoah....

I'm very surprised at where my skills are at.

FWIW, we had 4 originially, all but 'advanced'.  I suggested we add the fifth and 'advanced'.  Tiernan and Nyr came up with the other 4.

If you have a specific question about your character and their skills please submit a request to have it reviewed and express your specific concern.  Do NOT discuss it here.  Thanks.

Will do.  I was surprised, and will edit my posting.

I . . . I'm so conflicted.  I love this.  I don't love this.   It makes me so happy.  . . but it feels so, so . . dirty.

So this... this wasn't a joke?
