If you don't feel like abilities are sufficient, have you considered lowering the overall skill cap but perhaps allowing abilities in the different fields to push that higher? Sort of like the concept you were considering in COGG.

1250 cap for all, pick up a Melee ability, your cap for melee combat ...

Should being capable with several weapon types be that much of an issue? What is too many? People are locked to a focus anyway, so you can't specialize in everything even with the Guilds that have basic utilization of two weapon types instead of weapon/shield like others.

The idea isn't that you would lose your current character, just that any extra skill points could apply towards an alt's development. But that would only be an issue if we went to a threshold or ability level cap system anyway, which I doubt would happen.


Ah. I didn't realize it worked that way ...

On a more serious note, I'm curious what element of Cv2 in regards to skills aren't working for you?

Cv1, a few things started to get locked behind abilities because you were unhappy with how everyone did everything and so some of the more "abused" skills got locked behind abilities (Smithing, and ...

I would almost suggest something similar to the sunset system but using extra skill points, except some people don't have or want to have alts so that wouldn't benefit them :( I guess I don't really have any answers for how to solve this dilemma. I personally don't like how it is currently, but I ...

Isn't that the point of abilities?

I will say, in regards to combat least, there are always the other options that have been floated around before.

Bonus skill based on damage caused, encouraging people to actually hurt mobs.
Bonus skill based on a kill/flee shot, encouraging people to actually defeat mobs.
Bonus skill across the ...

One thing I'll point out is that it doesn't have to be a set in stone law that combat skill = skinning challenge. It'd just be a convenient forumla to initially fill out a range of skinning challenges so that there's something out there beyond the current 3 levels of skinning challenge. It wouldn ...

I'd honestly like to see something like this, especially for Combat though I'm not sure it is necessary for Crafting.

As I mentioned in CHAT, I miss feeling like I need to go out there and actually engage with systems to try and accomplish something efficiently and cater to the strengths/abilities ...

I know it has been floated about before, but I'd like to suggest having a character's horse skills capped by the character's riding skill. Be it anywhere from 1/2 of it to a 1/4 of it, but put it down to the expert horseman knowing how to best utilize their mounts.

... but for the common "grindable" spawns I think it'd be a lot better to just have them be consistent with all their combat skills matching up perfectly. Makes it less of a pain trying to figure out what to practice on. Like a rare mob with a really high offense but really low defense, or vice ...

Having had time to think on things more, I'm not hugely a fan of combat skill = skinning challenge.

Previously, skinning and exploring it was a choice that wasn't necessarily tied to a pure combat character. In Clok, it required an ability point to unlock in the first place, and frequently ...

I've actually a bug report about the ruins in myself. They're Cogg state, not Clok. Hugely surprised me. Was expecting a 1-shot.

Can I suggest the mobs at the Ravaged Wagon Camp being looked over? They're very low skill level from the transfer over, but full of the deadliness/abilities/attacks that were found in Cogg.

Cool. This was always a super interesting area due to the lore involved, but the inner parts definitely catered to only certain individuals/styles. Nice to have it expanded and potentially be a little more inclusive.

Men-at-arms, Footmen, and Dreadnoughts were the old collection. I want to say 400, 700, and 1400 skill range for Redleaf.

The only thing I'd say is it very much ties skinning ability to combat skill. I imagine some might consider that a con.

I've only the experience from the top end of the equation currently (can't bring myself to roll a new character), but unless the target I'm going after offers something I can skin then it doesn't matter what I hunt. I simply won't break even. Even with some mobs that I can skin, due to their ...

Would it be possible to have a way to assess if you can currently repair in its current state before actually attempting? I admit, this is probably more worthwhile to those who deal with blacksmithing.

Agree with pretty much everything. I've wondered if two-handed weapons as a whole need an uptick, as the combat style is weaker as a whole in Clok vs weapon/shield which in turn wouldn't necessarily require a damage tweak for our follow-up punches. At the same time, agree with the durability aspect ...

I think I have a bug report in about the gauntlets, but it might be nice if we could have Followup Punch replaced by Followup Blow to vary the attacks. Honestly, I think just fixing the issue with the gauntlets would be ideal.


At the end of the day, punch was decided to simplify the whole idea ...

With the addition of kick, would it be possible to include that as a possibility for brawling reactive abilities? Why? Equipment wear. Not sure about anyone else, but my gauntlets always need repairing, even more so than my weapon. From a benefit point of view, I'd personally appreciate having the ...

Figured as much unfortunately. Won't be the first time I don't use their kit.

Well the default armor wouldn't work anymore for harbingers, considering how much 3 of the specs don't exactly get along with heavy armor. Though I'm curious on how much freedom there is for armored casting, or it'd take an approach like CLOK1 did. Current thing preventing me from committing to any ...

Why a joke needs that much delving into...

Though I am curious to see if casting as a Harbinger is given a bit more flexibility/allowance this time around instead of locking it behind using a specific set of equipment.

Still, awesome bug. The sort of one you could have a lot of fun creating a ...
