Gloves Vs. Staff Poll

[phuzed]

I think it was a pathetic misuse of time they clearly desperately needed to use on real game issues vs. revamping a graphic issue.

For that reason I hate the gloves. Those gloves cost desperately needed game improvements.

Funny you say this, I couldn't agree more. I think Ryzom has much bigger issues than such things as "what the amps should look like." I personally think that the staff was fine.

In the end scheme of things who really cares if the amps are staves or gloves? I would rather see content added such as guild outposts, guild quests, mounts(for the players) before they waste time on such things as what the stupid mage amps look like.

For this reason I too hate the gloves. Get the important stuff which make games fun done first then worry about silly things such as this.

Add fighting ability to your eq thuogh! mace spikey on staff for 2h melee, claws on gloves for close combat melee. Reduce magical effective ness and not as effective as melee weapons...a nice balance. I'm A GENIUS j/k!

I love them gloves because they are different and orginal unlike most other games where they follow the "medievil" themed weapons

I'm Fyros and now i look like something... i dont know!! Help me!!!
Oh i can look like a freaky robot if i put on heavy armor instead of light!
Hmm if i could wear only 1 i could pretend to be Metroid or Megaman!

I love the new gloves but there is just something about them that i can't quite grasp. I watch anime and the giant gloves just have some eerie familiarity sticking in my head that i can't figure out.
Hey atleast i'm not wearing chicken gloves! Bawk Bawk

A choice would always be preferable in a situation like this, but they can't seem to get one weapon set right let alone 2 or 3 different versions of the same thing.

They spent the time to change the graphic, but apparently were not bright enough to actually make sure crafting them would generate the proper XP.

****ing brilliant

If, as a developer, you truely understand the game you are working on, then the shifting of a weapon from one craft line to the other would definitely call for the testing of said weapon to make sure everything works in the new craft lines.

(The lack of developer insight into how their own game is played is evident in many other aspects of Patch 1 as well)

Normally I would agree Elf, but besides the shift in crafting trees (which they obviously messed up), the change was primarily a job for the art team. I, for one, can never have enough sparklies... the baton just didn't seem to fit for me. Now if the art team would only let me wear chick armor....Owning everone in a dress was half the fun of Fable...

in other slightly related news, can any one craft q120 of these buggers yet?

[svayvti]

nobody can craft them q70.

It is a job for the art team, but it would be really nice if the other teams took whatever time it would be to properly develop craft trees for BOTH glove and wand.

Forcing people to go a route they don't want is sure to upset customer. However giving people a choice upsets just a few.. other players who want to force their views on others.

Give me a break people. These gloves look like well... they are just ugly ugly ugly.

And I fully agree with those who ask WHY? Why did we need this change when there are so many other things that need work.

I am a pretty positive person.. but the gloves are just enough to make me think that at least I can use an axe that looks like an axe. Or... is the next change gonna be that we lose swords, etc. and end up with puff balls of whacking?

*sigh*
