warangel Report post Posted October 18, 2004 ok this is a great neg perk idea. Entropy should make a negative perk called "i am george bush" and make it so that you read 3 times slower and you get a third of the normal xp. I think that this should be worth 8-10pps. If anyone else has some good ideas post them her about neg perks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wytter Report post Posted October 19, 2004 I'd be lying if I said that I didn't think it was a good idea ;-) If you want to make the criticism more discrete, call it "Imbecile with power". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted October 19, 2004 There are too many neg perks as it is, some should be removed or weakened, not adding more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted October 19, 2004 Well, we can also add more positive perks as well, to ballance the stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McMantis Report post Posted October 19, 2004 Positive perks aren't really used as much as negative perks and wouldn't balance things out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted October 19, 2004 They aren't used because people are not smart enough to use them. For example, they try to get a MM cloak instead of gettign the MM perk, which can save them a lot of trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McMantis Report post Posted October 19, 2004 But most people don't want to waste spare PPs on perks when they can just buy a cloak, the most abuse would come from pkers and reset researchers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warangel Report post Posted October 19, 2004 you could feduce amount of pps each neg perk gives including this one if you added it. you could also make it harder to get capes for the positive perks much harder. I heard that you wanted to make a way for the money to flow out of the game here is you're chance make cape drops like 1 in 80,000 and make them cost loads of money more ppl would surelyget more positiveperks then.

Starman_Omega Report post Posted October 19, 2004 the reason no one gets positive perks is mainly because most people fight. and to fighters, perks are , quote, a waste of pp So why not decrease all positive perks by 1 pickpoint? 5 pickpoints is a doozy for some people and, YES, there should be another negative perk like that. there are so many books out there, and someone never knows when thy are going to end up reading one. maybe make it 5 pp. though i have a feeling entropy will ban me if i give a perk name suggestion like, "I Love Bush" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For example, they try to get a MM cloak instead of gettign the MM perk, which can save them a lot of trouble. Not always true, I don't have the MM perk because I like to train and its much better to have the monsters chase ME around than me having to chase them.

Kami Report post Posted October 19, 2004 What? But that just the same thing as the first idea.... It's just had a little Spin Doctoring by Republicans to make a bad idea appear to be a good idea and which causes more people to be tricked into believing it can do a Better job if you take away skills rather then giving you skills.
