Stefan- Read
 

Stefan on Saturday night or Sunday for you , you had said you would tell Unixmad to take off stat loss, was this just a trick so everyone would shut up? or are you actually gonna go do it?

You will see that for yourself. If stat loss is removed obviously he wasn't jokng. If not, well...

Stefan doesnt lie

I wanted to ask unixmad, although i am not sure if its good to disable stats loss. Of couse it can look bad for newbies, but you can buy potions for increasing the stats so it is probably good if you also sometimes loose them otherwise all people would have 20+ in all categories.

Nothings wrong with having 20+ in all categs
 

Its there roll, people roll for hours because they lost 1 important stat.. it is annoying, and a bad idea to have stat loss , isnt it enough losing like 15,000Experience.. how bout just keeep XP loss and lose a little cash isntead of stats .. it is hard to play this game when you KEEP on losing stats THEN you have to restart!!!!!

I got restarted and got almost my stats back cept for the scroll and starting hp. I'm not happy, but I'm keeping it. You lose some, you get some. That's life.

I'm happy. I rolled exellent stats and am now the ultimate magic user with all three schools of magic avaiable to me.

No one buys the potions they are too expensive :(:(

3?

Re: Nothings wrong with having 20+ in all categs
 

What happens if you dont have any money?

I've never even seen a potion of restoration. If they were cheaper (say around 150 maybe) and more available, I'd have no problem at all with stat loss. The potion would add to the game .. you lose stats, so you work to save up to regain your lost power.

Stat loss is good just not the way it works.
You lose a stat mostly everytime you die.
Maybe it should be like 1 stat you lose every 5 times you die.
I assume that a death counter can be added easily if there isn't already one?

I think that they should make the potions way cheaper like the only person that has alot of money is Koni :(:(

If Koni has a lot of money there's nothing stopping other people from getting lots of money.
It just means he's either worked longer at it than everyone else and has been rather lucky at what he has gotten.

We've seen this argument before, and it's negated by the fact that the stat-raising potions are absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to buy. Remove stat loss, or edit the mudlib to lower store prices. One or the other.

Making the stat increasing potions easy to buy would be pointless.
Then we have everyone running around with max stats which is definetly not what I want.
There supposed to be hard to obtain because they are so valuble.

I'm not saying they should be marked down to 10 plat each. But nothing should be selling for more than 400-500 platinum, unless you have absolutely horrible charisma.

I'm assuming since the prices are so high something will be released that will allow people to get money more easily.
Maybe a few jobs.
Or like I suggested a while back, small quests for money. Like the mine shaft place on main could be cleared out for the villagers of the town in exchange for some plat coins.
After it's cleared it becomes a mine for you and all the other people who have completed the quest.

god this game needs help
 

if 21 is max stats then that is retarded why the heck cant it go higher then 21,... everyone is gonna be 21stats oo that is super ... it is bad you should be able to get to 50 when your high level..

It would be the best if you dont lose stats when you die, the potions are tooo expensive anyway

I think stat loss should stay... but... only 1 stat point... not 2... My recent 2 deaths each knocked off 2 stat points each instead of 1...

I think you should be saved from stat loss, unless you're say.. level 2 or 3, or when you lose all your grace points, then you start to lose random stats.

Stat loss will become incedibly annoying during RP battles and wars and will most likely result in 1 of 2 things

1) Making RP'ing not as fun as it could be
2) Making them incredibly valuable and legitimate. You'll know that winning battles is important if your mens quality of their characters is on the line.
