Racial Armor Information (IRC)

I find it more than looks... It's nice to be able to do something exclusive as a race?

Besides, if it's been stated since august, then how come there isn't a post from before the 2nd of December where it is shown? I only heard of it a few days ago.

 

Oh,well.October,my bad.

 

I missed that post, thanks for pointing it out

Still a bad idea

 

This is a new & experimental kinda idea. Give it a try first! Ya might like it!

I understand the feeling of wanting Races to be unique, but ya don't HAVE to bother hunting down other Race's Recipes...

 

Nah, i know. I just see races in that way, so the fact that everybody can do everything with the right piece of armor is the thing thats bothering me.

 

Well, it saves me the trouble of having to make like 6 different characters to get the most out of the game. I think thats why they implemented it to be honest.

 

I agree, it's most likely that this is why they chose this road. In many RPGs yo have to create several different characters to be able to do different things like being a healer, a mage or a warrior. Besides the hassle of switching characters, this also means you have to train and equip them all over again, which is a massive bother IMO. The devs decided to have abilities be based on equipment to greatly reduce the need to have multiple characters. That way you can choose one race based on appearance and just play the game.
Personally, I love the devs for this.

 

I prefer to have races as just aesthetic.

 

Speaking as someone who hates mini-maxing, I like this compromise between aesthetics and gameplay benefits.

Given that robots are supposed to be the "space dwarves" from what little I've gathered so far, I can't really think of much else you could give them that would be thematically appropriate yet not completely broken.

 

I like how the armors provide different, unique abilities, but none of them are real 'game-changers'. It's perfectly balanced.

 

While I personally agree that yes, I think each specie should have their own unique ability/trait, it's not really needed. In fact, having the trait attached to their armor allows people from both spectrum of the idea (those that like specie-specific traits, and those that don't) get what they want.

In other words, we all get what we want by this feature ...

 

Sure.. i can see it that way. I actually didn't know that the racial armors were first stated in october.. I thought it was a new twist they came up with just here in december... Hence my reaction

 

I don't remember for sure... but Racial Armors mighta been lightly suggested as a possibility October, then fleshed out into a full blown idea & submitted to us for feedback in that Post in this Thread December... if my Memory's not screwing around with me again.

 

well i was going to ask what is tiys armor that he uses? it looks like a ninja/assasin sort of thing.

 

hmm... I'm sure this has already been stated but I feel that each race should have racial abilities. This would make it so that every race could have the same advantages. I see how it could be a good thing. but IMHO i would prefer that they be racial abilities and not racial armor... besides... a should not be able to fit into an avians armor... unless it was an avian shaped robot...

Edit: BAH. should have read a few more of the posts before this... I'm still uncomfortable with the idea... but after reading Tiys explanation... I feel better about the way it could turn out... so bottom line... Im not super comfortable with it but it seems worthy of trying.

 

Oh,c'mon! Somebody,please,stop the necromancers!

 

Wait... So are these features in effect yet because ATM I'm seeing no difference in how far my Avian flies ( not literally) but I am using the base armor, or is it in effect with the highest or higher tier armors?
Pls tell me.

 

A )please don't resurrect old threads like this.

B )the bonuses have not been implemented yet.

 

Please, please, please don't necro.

Just in case you don't know what this means: Necro-ing is finding a very old thread that hasn't been posted in for a long time (about a month) and posting in it.
