Post by mandalore7 » Sat Jun 28, 2008 3:24 am

why not allow people to buy up to 5 extra skillpoints with tokens?

Guys.. he means points used for dex, char., or wisdom.. Great common sense you two! :lol:

I personally think this idea is trash because it would give a HUGE advantage to people with tokens..

This idea if it concerns buying extra dex, wisdom, charisma would make the game unbalanced. People shouldn't be given any further advantage than what tokens already give. My two cents.

I agree. For what it's worth.

1st yes i was referring to dex char etc....
2nd any1 can buy tokens
3rd ppl w/o a credit card can buy tokens (from players)
so whats the big idea, if you limit how many skillpoints ppl can get its really not that big a deal.
but it would allow you to specialize in a field, like having 15dex or whatever. instead of going 10 and 5, you could go 15 and 5 (plus artifacts)

This idea is pointless. Each stat has it's own set of artifacts that allow you to choose your bonuses. If this is not enough than you have bigger problems than needing 5 extra stat points.

Oh Ok. I see. I hate this idead too... Contrary to what people say, not everyone can buy tokens. But it doesn't matter anyway. Tokens are meant to be a PERK from donating to the game. Not a necessity, which this idea would make them. People without tokens wouldn't be able to compete with even a small boost in dex.

yeah my parents would probly skin me alive if they ever saw playtechtonics on my bank statement...

That aside though, the only possible way to make this work would be to add the extra five skillpoints as suggested, but have the max without artis remain at ten. Thus, you could have 10 dex and 10 wis... I still dont like this but at least it is better.

Another thing...At a certain point dex would be so high as to make the ship impossible to fly. I imagine that would come in at 20-25 depending on the skill of the pilot. It would be to hard to turn precisely i think.
