Friday with Means - October 9th, 2009 - Parry and Riposte - Back from the dead!

[Eseb]

ive never heard of a perk attack, so that would mean someone explaining "What" exactly perks are, and where they come from, as they technicaly arent a physical attack

Perks pretty much work like nukes. They aren't blocked by either attack or special blockers.

Your hopes are to be crushed and I am quite happy that they will be. Your reasoning is flawed and that is half of why I am not feeling you on this one.

You think it'd be right to be able to parry 29 bullets fired from 10 metres away? Or hell, even just one? ;P

But sure, sure, let's pretend that realism doesn't matter. I don't think keepers need more defence, decent ones are damn hard or impossible to kill as it is. They need more damage, not godmore :P

How does any of that help a bow user that has no roots or snares I wonder...

Yidira.

If it's good enough for Jedis...

(Lots and lots of correlation between the Force and Nanobots).

Wohoo more melee love! What kind of ****ed up future sci-fi game is this when all you freaking add is melee ****?
If I want to wield magical staffs, swords and **** I can go play some other mmo.

On another note; the mail system might be useful, I like that.

Yes because sci-fi is synonymous with laser guns? Come back when you have a clue bro

[Swordbreaker]

3 professions that need some attention currently, right?

Enforcers don't need any attention, they need a solid nerf or two.

Shut up, you have mezz pet (that is always high on crack - lost somewhere, it has crappy skills to land its root, its root breaks on attack and pet itself dies if someone sneezes nearby - nerf that swine influenza).

Please give Crats an action like Parry but based on Psychology.

Lol what?

Parry will work vs. ranged (yes, MAs, you can finally imagine that you're yanking bullets out of thin air with your fingertips) - It's a few thousand years into the future, we figure that people who are advanced enough to use nanobots to completely transform themselves into other creatures can *probably* strengthen a sword/stick/whatever to block a bullet. Riposte, however, will require that the target be within melee range for the attack.

and people are still using swords....

I'd love to have a counter-attack on my NT to replace my bobbing chicken (those things that bob their head up and down infinitely) pressing 2 ever 2 seconds, or is it hard to justify the idea of a ninja-NT that'll evade and nuke you if you try to hit him?

Based on what I read about Riposte just now and the fact that most NT's do not have anything in either hand (meaning MA weapon equipped) that they should be able to use riposte.

Ever read Dune? Ranged weapons become illogical after a particular point of technological advancement. Personal shielding devices can block any fast moving object. It becomes a task of slowing down an attack just before impact to get past the shield.

Oh hell yes. Carrying on with the Star Wars/Force/Nanobots comparison:

*wavey hand* This is not the MR gank you're looking for...

and people are still using swords....

Read/watch Dune and watch Star Wars. Sci Fi and swords.

EDIT: *shakes fist @ Aethyr*

If Yidira was as powerful as you describe it, I'd accept the MP prof to be fixed in regards to PvP and PvM

(For those who don't get it, try playing an MP, set fully buffed Yidira on a level 180 toon with reset NR, watch how often it lands its nano and then you are welcome to join in on our little discussion.)

What's your point? MPs are nerfest? Not all professions have roots outside of 2 grafts.
