Shadow_runner Report post Posted March 6, 2009 Having various discussions with other players in game and in forums. I think a lot of players don't have a lot of positive perks. As they don't see them worth the "PP's" worth spending on them. I thought I would suggest a possible tweaking, so there more powerful. But not over powered. The perks stay the same, just different "PP" costs, etc... Power Saving: 1 PP + 380gc Fast Regeneration: 1 PP + 340gc (Perhaps even think of increasing the amount of healing from the current 3 per min to 5 per min.) Excavator: 3 PP's + 290gc Monster Magnetism: 3 PP's + 700gc Body Piercing: 5 PP's + 2,000gc Mirror skin: 5 PP's + 2,000gc Just some thoughts, nothing in stone.

RunTime Report post Posted March 6, 2009 The reason most people dont have these perks are because they have a cloak that gives the perk, easier to spend the GCs for the cloak than the PPs for the perk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HaZe Report post Posted March 6, 2009 Good idea ;> more really to take perk when cost 5 pp then 7pp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow_runner Report post Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) The reason most people dont have these perks are because they have a cloak that gives the perk, easier to spend the GCs for the cloak than the PPs for the perk Yeah, i understand that. But think about advanced PKer's, if they took BP perk & mirror perk for a more reasonable 'pp' price. Then they would be more deadly. As it stands now, no one is willing to spend that many pp's on those perks. As far as I know. If positive perks are not used by anyone, why do we have them in the game?

jajohn Report post Posted March 7, 2009 good idea,but Fast regeneration perk for 1pp is too cool and a lot of people would take it... and if it gave even more hp/mana,then almost everyone would have it... I don't think this one needs to be cheaper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyewacket Report post Posted March 8, 2009 Sorry to argue with this one, but how do we know no one uses the perks? I presume you are posting because of a "no one you know" factor, but that might be giving you a false result on overall perk usage ingame, no? Whilst your ideas on improvement of the perk purchasing might be acceptable, if Radu finds theres actually 85% of players using at least one perk or another (positive ones obviously) then the whole alteration suggestion becomes invalidated. We need figures to work from on this one, I believe, before we can look for ways to change things (for better or worse). So until we actually get info regarding perk usage ingame, we wont know for sure if its an area that needs to be tweaked or not. - PYE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nathanstenzel Report post Posted March 8, 2009 I am sure that Entropy or perhaps even Learner could provide stats on who has what perk and if they are still active. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted March 8, 2009 I am sure that Entropy or perhaps even Learner could provide stats on who has what perk and if they are still active. I for one have both MM & FR perks because of my style of play. Also, it's going to be almost impossible to get Entropy to change the PP price of any existing perks. If he lowers the PP price, he'd have to write a special program to adjust everyone's PP's based on the new price and take into account any currently worn cloaks or he would have a player revolt on his hands from people complaining the now have lost PP's because of the lower Perk costs.

Entropy Report post Posted March 9, 2009 What Learner said. It's way too much work and little benefits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
