Something broken this way comes...Fix this ASAP

Post by zzeii »

All people on the mainland aside...

Currently, EVERYTHING in the starting lands has 200+hp.

Acid 1 does 18-19 damage at BEST with the amp.

Player has 100hp to start.

Mobs hit for at least 14 damage.

Anyone else feel like doing the math on this?

Likewise with starting out with the combat packs. You do not have the damage to kill anything in the starting lands solo without leveling up harvest/craft so you can get gear/armor off vendors and use extra SP to get abilities. So for those people who decide to not pick harvesting/crafting to start are completely screwed. Worse than what anyone says about the mainland. This is a mistake and needs to be fixed yesterday.

Especially before Nov 8th when you start offering the 14 day free trial.

Additional info...

Trying as fyros, matis, tryker, and zorat...

Fyros - Starting in Aegus, I couldn't find any suckling yubo's around town, had to run all the way to the oasis to the SE before I found them. 200+hp on them and everything else in the area.

Zorat - Starting in the center town (don't remember the name) suckling yubos right outside of town, every mob 200+hp.

Tryker - Starting in Dingleton, had to run passed a bunch of weanling yubos to find suckling to the NW. Sucklings and other mobs had over 200+hp.

Matis - Started in ummm...dang I'm tired, can't remember exactly where. Found suckling yubos to the north of town. They had around 40hp.

Hrmmm....that's odd...

Starting with 3 fighting packs you can solo the 200+hp yubos (thanks to increased damage and accurate attack AND having a sword + dagger).

Starting with 3 magic packs, not enough sap to do enough damage to kill them, not to mention they aren't exactly standing still during this.

Starting with 1 harvesting would allow one to level up harvest, picking up hp/regen/self heal hp, craft as well, make money to buy better gear, etc, etc, etc.

Starting with 3 craft packs, you would have enough mats to gain enough levels to pick up ammo crafting 1 and ranged weapon crafting 1, and make a pistol and some bullets. Possible to kill the 200+hp yubos this way, but you will run out of bullets. Or you can make your own melee weapons, but without improved damage/accurate attack, it's mighty risky.

I would do tests for each town, but thats more quitting out and restarting SoR than I'd like to subject my machine to. And running between towns could prove to take alot more effort than what it is worth.

Either way, whether it is town or civilization specific, Something has to be done to address this. There is an inconsistancy between civilizations at least, and if its town related, even worse. Please, for the love of Jena, fix this.

Yeah, this sounds rather bad for any new influx of people.

Why are the same mobs having such a varying degree of HP?

They using a different database or the same one as the mainland for noob island or they forget that altering the HP% across the board for all mobs also inreases the noob sle mobs as well.

I can attest to this.
I made a Fyros character with 3 magic pack and could not kill a Suckling Yubo, just ran out of Sap or got killed first.
Made a Fight, magic, forage char, could not kill a Yubo with the dagger or acid 1, basically died 5 times and gave up.
Made a 3 Fight pack char, only able to kill a yubo on third try with duel wield using accurate attack, and it was a close fight. Down to 7hp

The only think i could consistently gain xp in is forage.

This as you can imagine is not very encouraging.
