Bay 12 Games Forum

Just make crafting arrows survival based. It's not like firing a bow gives you any experience working with arrows. Or vice-versa.

I think the change was to stop 20 perception characters being gods amongst men with no skill points and getting max range headshots nearly every time. Skill is more important than perception now... which does kinda make sense. How much does natural perception really help with guns? It's more experience and skill based really. Maybe have perception affect the accuracy of sounds. If you're blowing enough points to get perception 20 without cheating you probably deserve perfectly accurate soundsense. Its not like all enemies even show up on it anyways.

So rolled a character on a new build. And I noticed that instead of a ranged bonus, Perception now just decreases ranged penalty, and never goes above -0. Does increasing Perception past 12 actually do anything, or has that stat just been rendered worthless to push more than 4 points in?

The Great Revolutionary Democratic People's Republic of Greater Vestra Has risen in Africa. Long live Dear Leader Vernier and her benevolent reign.

Built a hospital and a school right off the bat. Now I just need to tend to my stability.

I decided to check this out, but whenever I try to get on the forums to look at guides or see what the games about to see if I'd even want to play... it takes me to an install screen talking about FTP servers? Why would I need to install anything to look at a forum?

Do I need to make a nation first or something? I dislike starting a game I'm not even sure I want to play just to find out it isn't what I thought and immediately quitting.

Skies of Arcadia 2, or some sort of game in that universe/style.

A crying fucking shame no one noticed the game, because it was arguably the best damn game on the gamecube and dreamcast. So freaking good.

If only the PC port had been finished. It might have gotten a cult following and stuff might have happened. Ah well.

If there was a Skies of Arcadia kickstarter, I would sell my organs on the black market and my soul to satan to support it.

To be honest. I'm kinda running out of things to do. I mean, once you get a set of composite and a good weapon, what else is there to shoot for? Jedi isn't in, theres only one themepark, which I might look into going through. I mean other than sightseeing, what's left? Pvp doesn't really interest me at all... I guess I could set up a house on a remote spot on a dangerous planet and just decorate it. Just doesn't seem to be much in the game to shoot for. I'm just hard pressed to think of anything to do other than wander about aimlessly looking at scenery.

Not an entire waste. Rifles, carbines, and pistols are very different weapons. Rifles are slow and inaccurate close up, so a basic strategy is opening up with a rifle, then pulling out a pistol and retreating while firing. Plus they get access to different special attacks. So if an enemy has a lower action pool, you can pull out a carbine and legshot it, or if it has a weaker mindpool, you can pull out a rifle and headshot it. It makes some sense a bounty hunter would know how to use all of them.

If you're worried about pulling out new weapons in combat, you can just drag them to your hotbar for quickswapping. Hell, you could even make a combat macro to fire off a couple rifle rounds then automatically switch to your pistol and fire a few skills.

Carrying and training in multiple kinds of weapons isn't a bad idea.

And Char, Both of my combat characters and probably several of the other's have scouting. I've probably got over a thousand hide and bone sitting on one of my characters right now. Hell, if you want you could just take basic scout and tag along with me and harvest what I kill.

Ok. Apparently the way armor works is you have four spots on you that can be hit. Arms, head, chest, and legs. And you only need 1 piece of armor on each area to block damage. So you only need to wear a helmet, chest piece, boots, and a single bracer to be fully protected.you can wear pants instead of boots, or gloves or a bicep instead of bracers. Granted this makes it a lot more viable to wear composite armor and be fully protected. But it also makes me want to weep and scream at the design.

Who designed this? What's the point of wearing a full suit if it KILLS your stats and FIVE pieces do nothing but increase durability? I seriously want to jab a pen in their eye and say Y U DO THIS?! Y?!!!!!! Its acts counter to all logic and intuition, punishes a player for wearing a full set of armor, and generally makes no sense. Seriously. Just lower the base encumbrance on armors, and add all the bodyparts as hittable locations. And nowhere in-game that I can find is it explained.

What is up with this game. Was it designed by aliens? That would be appropriate given its contents.
