what a noob doesnt like on excelsior

Post by rashaverak »

1) most things i like :)
2) i am new here and i am aware i can be wrong

I was looking some time for shard like excelsior which really satisfy most of my needs :) One of the things I do not like is kinf of too fast of skill gains but lets say it can be replaced by animal breed, weapon leveling and bio pets, etc..

But the only thing I really consider to be weird are all the people running with 5 rabits/horses/chicken using them instead of really powerfull monsters as dragons definately are. So what I want to say that it doesnt make sense for me that pet which take 1 slot can be by breeding maxed to the same level as pet taking 5 slots. Until now that is the only thing I really do not like in my 10 days on excelsior :) See someone to use 5 rabbits instead of 1 dragon is .. logical in current settings, but weird.

It still feels strange to me too, and I've been here almost 2 years. I do miss my WW/mare team, but the smaller pets are so much easier to target around. You do get used to not having huge wings covering half the screen, trust me.

Hehe that's something i really didn't consider...

When we were starting up, i knew what damage those 1000str pack instincted animals can do, and so i've made them to max 250 str. Could be a good idea that the caps would be set depending on how many slots an animal takes. But i've heard enough complaints about the recent change, so I don't know how well this would be taken.

I agree that a pet that takes more slots should have higher caps than a single slot 1...but as to play balance don't know where to start
