Barney, I meant convince broadband that obsidian should be a 780 skillcap shard.

All races were supposed to have limits, that's why they got bonuses. We tried that specifically, people din't like that, so we went with braodband's old race + class system.

I state again, when i say people were overpowered, I do NOT mean pvp.
I mean the game as a whole.

Obsidian is designed to balance to a 680 character. That means if a character has 780 skill or extra abilities, he has penalties that bring him into balance with his 680 counterpart.

Again this balance takes into accoutn vet rewards. You play 2 years, you have a 700, or 800, skillcap. But that's after time and work.


As it stands right now, I'm honestly pretty satisfied with the classes balance, because i'm watching people go human who were vampire, and i'm watching people who are human who want to go vampire.
Which means that it's a fair trade in some players minds.

You can give me alternatives, and if it seems balanced, we can try it, but remember that if it's balanced, it means that not everyone will WANT to a racial character. There are supposed to be things humans do better, and things races do better.

All clear on that?

Now as to combat balance, i'm working on it. As i said, it's slow work, and i said awhile ago that with fall comming up i'm getting busy.
Also i'm NOT announcing a lot of the patches I do, mostly because i just haven't had time to get them all together to make a cumulative patch post, and most are tiny enough at the time that i didn't feel they need their own post.

PVP will be balanced when it's done, i'm sorry it's taking so long, and it WILL be close to the old system. Just bear with me. PVP has not been on the top of priorities given what else has been broken, but it's getting higher as time goes on, and i've been doing some work on it here and there.

Okay I get ya that all the monsters etc and the entire game is balanced against 680.

what are going to be the racial abilities for a vampire when they come in? how about making a vamp rogue again they could have 50 magery

I'm not going to suggest anything else because im bamboozled now

in the old system vamp got a magery cap at 30 now the cant have magery cus i was a vamp and when to vamp warrior and lost my 30 magery skill point.


im lost cus i have been out for a few months i dunno the history behind this changes, but i still dont get it why take away bow

They took archery away because that "balances" the 100 skill points and race powers.

Heres 2 things to think about balancing

Put races back to the way there were before and;
-Give humans 10 extra stat points (300 cap)
-Make is so races can only go 90% in every skill
EDIT:: Make it so the warrior/mage races have the 90% thing, crafting skills have 100%

if was because of the "balance" that u say is way too easy if they just cap the skills of the other races to 680 like humans.


A char of some type of race is not overpower, how many GREAT GREAT PvP were Humans and how many were of some type of race

just a few were Warlocks or War Mages , yeah there was alot of Vamps but that didnt stop the Humans (warriors or mages) to kick their asses in the OLD SYSTEM, the problems started when some guy GMed Poisoning, because in that time poison was OVERPOWER u need to start from that point , after that there was a lot of changes, in casting spells in delay on bandages in delay in this and that.....and that makes all the system go down.
