thank you

So true.... SO many poeple here with potential...with bright ideas.

Too bad this is a post amongst 100000 other posts consisting of rants/trolliage.....

It's like finding a needle in a haystack. The constructive sounding title makes the needle sparkle alittle tho.

=)

Hope Cosmik see's diz.

Bump if only Funcom would really do this. I think crit should be relative to range. The chance to critical shot close is way more then being far. So to crit well with a shotung you need to be in closer range otherwise it should suck.

Personally, I don't like the idea. It implies that you have to be high level to be skilled with a weapon. That's hardly true. To me a better way would be to compare the atk of the attacker versus the defensive skills of the target. Then add bonuses to crit chance based on how much skill over the weapon's required skill.

crits should be based on atk? nah...most of the better weapons for every class right now are hybrids..hybrids slaughter your ATK rating, and thus hurt crits.

I agree the current buff solution, and the proposed 14.2 changes, are not effective. the current situation makes us rely too much on MAs, no offense guys but most teams see you as a walking critbuff and nothing more...and the new changes will make high-level combat VERY ugly.

I think it should be based on the primary weapon skill of the weapon vs. the evade of the target, and raise the current percentage for crit based on either:

• Titlelevel
• Certain ranges of skill..one for 100 skill, one for 200, 500, etc.
• Add a slight crit increase to some of the higher token boards (say 250 on up for arguments sake)

I agree with Tofu. The idea that crits are defined by the attack rating of an MA is romantic. Reflects the 'bond' that an MA has to nature and will save us some "NCU's" too. =P

Hmmmmm I thought it was Adventurers that had the bond with nature.....

Good ideas TOFU..

So basically what this is saying is that hybrids are better weapons but more difficult to use requiring more skill than simpler, less effective weapons?

Basing it solely on the primary weapon skill = cheating the system, IMO. Hybrids have a price to use them. The remaining suggestions are saying "Forget about crits till you're older, child". To me, a player should be able to crit if they're skilled enough with the weapon currently in their hands.

I agree with that to an extent Kuro..but what I meant was a staggered crit increase, that as you get more powerful, your odds improve accordingly. That only makes sense. I don't care if you have the best gun on the block, the first day you wield it you're not gonna have good odds of hitting a vital area, cause skill matters as much or more then the power of the weapon. Yes with some weapons, the attack dispersal, stopping power, sheer caliber, etc is higher, and summarily raises odds, but mostly hitting a vital spot with a firearm requires a good aim, good eyes, and intense coordination.

However...once you're a pro marksman, you can usually hit the most difficult argets dead-on, even with a cruddy gun. OK so AO isn't too big on realism, but that's my 10 cents.

Disagree. Leave MA's self buffs alone.

oh btw the poor mas need the crit buff.

I mean they need something to make up for the 3 million in nano chargers that I cost em in askin them for crit buffs

Sometimes think critical hits should just be removed from the game, period, as too innately unbalancing. Give the MA's and agents a simple damage buff that isn't so dependent on what weapon they're using and the random number generator.
