Ryzom

A major advantage of Shields that need to be considered is the Shielding Power which is a HUGE BOOST as well as has a timer thats not to bad. Sheilding 8 (available at lvl 150 mele) per description is: Lasts 15s, resuable after 120s. Without shield ou take 25% of the damage, with a max of 75 points ...

Which MMO's would those be? I've never played one where taking on larger numbers of mobs at once increased the XP value of individual mobs. The closest thing would be mob chaining.

I agree with you that the Ryzom monsters are really smart. Down right crafty sometimes to.

it *always* reduces dmg by % (protection factor) with a max reduction of dmg type, based on dmg. So 22% 44/33/22 (slash/crush/pierce) would take a 100 point blow and make it 78. a 200 point blow would get reduced to 156 if slash, 167 if crush, 178 if pierce. a 150 would become 127/127/138 ...

Great post! Gingo steak sandwhiches are my fav! Add some hot peppers and pepper-cheese.. mmmmm.....*drools* I also wanted to add a few tactics as well. -Gingos prey on herbivores. If you are having trouble, want to try a tougher level of gingo, or just want an easier kill, wait till a gingo goes ...

Good thread. I'd like to add in something.. Look at these factors here... +To get Xp for killing a mob one must be involved in the creature's death somehow. +Xp and loot are directly related to the creature's difficulty level +The fastest way to kill something is to focus a group's power on it ...

Being a low-level character, I recently got a shield after patch 1. My idea was that extra defense would hopefully reduce the lethality of carnivores somewhat. However, I really haven't been able to tell a difference between dual-wielding and sword-shield styles. Maybe this is a good place to ask ...

A way to map keys to mouse buttons. I'd like to assign things like attack, auto-run, and change hotkey bar to my 3rd, 4th, and 5th mouse buttons. Also allow us to remap what the scroll wheel can do. Also really good would be to allow us to alt+scroll and shift+scroll for fast cycling of whatever we ...

Great Post! Good advice for sure. Here's some things that have worked for me whenever I solo (Level < 50). -Gotta have as many levels of constitution as possible along with the best self heal avail. -I use ultra heavy armor, a two-handed weapon (spear or sword), and parry-mode. Its pretty good. The ...

Hmm, have you been watching the system info? Dodge and parry occur much more frequently than the yellow pop-up suggests. I'd say only 1 in 3 dodges ro parries put the yellow word above one's head.
