One of the things you guys will notice is that a lot of creatures are rather easy to hit. This is because almost every critter is light on mentality. I will be adjusting this too at some point (by raising mentality but dropping other stats). Until then, you're going to have a field day, most likely.

With all these changes in the working, would you guys be generous enough to give us a list of what all the stats are going to help with once the changes are complete?

I know you like us to figure out some things on our own, but when it comes to training ... I'd rather not be walking with a blindfold.

I just want to say that I'm staying out of all further conversations involving combat, I've worked too hard to only post positively to mess that up now.. I enjoyed it while it lasted, thank you.

Is perception going to play much of a roll (any of a roll?) with the fighting part of combat any more? I know it helps with drops and stuff, but will it impact anything else?

Im fairly adaptable, once I get a calm minset so Im all good with the set up too. And I damn sure like it here better than other realms. the staff are ass-kickin awesome.
-I use fast kills of lesser critters to help protect newbies. I never seach the kills cause I figure if I do it it wont have anything.
-I have bugged it a couple times but with my typin skills they aint no tellin what I actualy said in my bug (coughs) My defensive shields, magma static, corr armor, glacial.... I cast them and you can see them on me, but the critters knock me snotless over and over and take no damage, Jade and I tested it in arackus last night to be sure I wasnt mistaken. An arack beat me until the shields fell and it didnt have a mark on it. I never moved, just to make sure. I think the shields stopped working when they became visible. And it doesnt seem to matter if its an asapi or a beetle or a chith. If thats any help.
-I seem to have had my stats all wrong for combat so thats more en likely why I had so much trouble when the changes started. I am working to correct that now and have already seen improvements. Bless ya for Impale, it rocks. I have noticed tho that my razors hit harder with it (from slight ,light and fair to good and strong) but the razors arent a piercing weapon so if I'm bein bad by using it lemme know. It makes my chain and sickle a thing of beauty ((growls softly))
Okay I have addressed my thoughts and concerns so Ima hush before I get any more typos.
Thanks for the hard work and making me that I count as a player. And all the awesome fun we have.

And this, my children, is what happens when you train religiously from an old news article on combat stats, to the exclusion of all other stats.

To be fair, the "old" article was accurate until about 12 hours ago.

I used it and I'm still fine, but I don't think it's that much of a problem for anyone since we're going to be able to retrain stats soon-ish.
