Rehaul of Stats, (vote)

[Ashe]

1) I really don't like the thought of the Agate and Pearl, which beforehand did not have any Respect level issues. The Pearl- the only thing was, loyalty 20 got you an early Empathetic link. Now, they're suddenly not respecting me? o.o And the Coral, that had had a level req before, suddenly doesn't? I don't like stuff like that changing except at growths. Dx

2) I like the new stats so far. A lot. The Golossle are still OUT THERE and so are the Gugs (haha, Tanks. XD) but it seems more...suitable.

3) Um...Bloodgorge (UVSC Salaves v1) was stronger cause he was bigger than the other Salaves. Is this something I discuss with you, or with Josie now?

4) Those Amphadron are amazing. o.o I got my Eclipse-based offspring to level 5 anyway, so loyalty 7 yay!

5) I get home from school, take a break from chores, and this thing has like 4 pages. o.o So NICE WORK SPIRIT! on all the updates! 8D

6) Besides those Amphas, are there any other new VSC? (Erm, I assume they're new... XD;; I don't remember them.)

I paid to have my Coral brought to the level requirement, so now they don't have a requirement, and it was a waste for me to pay someone to level her? I don't like it. :(

I agree with Ashe on the term of tat lungs.

Secondly, the adult vespa's stats add up to 35. Their power level is 6, which would be 30. I think that you put old stats by mistake.

[Spirit]

Snorfle and Bwee are done.

[Darky]

Amphadron <3
It's instances like this that make me wish I was not poor and ever lacking in time..

I honestly can't say I like the news stats so well... i liked it better the old way, to tell you the truth. I do have to say that some of the creature's stats needed to be balanced a bit more, but I don't think all of them needed to be. But yeah, other than that, things are coming along nicely.

I think everyone who was good at 'taking advantage' of the stats previously, such as myself, is probably a little less happy with this change. For example, those of us who trained our Wiurn really well, because they were SUPER fighters, are a little sad that they're... well, frankly not so super anymore.

However, I also feel this is how it SHOULD be. It's not so much, "This creature can NEVER hit this creature. One hit from a Silverfang, and that Tained's done for!"

It's a lot more fair, and easy for even less powered creatures to win this way. A Wiurn COULD loose to a (muchmuch) better trained Vulticus. If that Vulticus knows good moves, and the Wiurn does not. This makes me happy.



As an interesting note, regarding these stats... I think they would have been better the way they were if we hadn't changed 'average' halfway through. I feel like the earlier species were built on a 'much grander' scale than the newer ones were. Almost as though you had '10' or something being human average, instead of 3.

However, this was still kind of 'broken' in that some stats were far too low and others were far too high. Some things ranged from 1 to 30... instead of now, where they range from a (much fairer) 1 to 15. A low dexterity creature at least has a chance of hitting an average creature, where as before an Earth Elemental Golem couldn't hit a Wiurn no matter how hard it tried. Now it has a hard time of hitting, but it isn't impossible.

Not only that, but a creature who has an incredible strength, is not going to be very fast at all under this system. Unlike the old Wiurn, who were too tough to hurt, strong enough to one-hit kill, fast enough not to get hit, and had enough stamina not to be killed. (The Wiurn weren't the only ones that needed help, you must realize. They're just a good example because I'm familiar with them.)


ALSO! Those of you who are worried about the dexterities (which, I was at first), consider this.

The difference between two dexterities, subtracted from 10, multiplied by 10, equals the percent chance to hit.

Confused by this sentence? Let me help...

Creature A has 8 dex. Creature B has 2 dex. 8-2 = 4. 10-4=6. 6x10=60. A creature with 2 dex has a 60% chance of hitting one with 8 dex.

60% isn't horrible, but it isn't great either. This is about the difference between a 'wolf puppy' and a 'fox', here on HxR.

ALL basic MML creatures have had their stats re-done..

I'm working on the "special sets" (like holiday pets) now...

[Vixen]

YES. Go Spirit! Thanks. (=

[Spirit]

Plant critters, Trainable Robots, Veil Critters, and Mining Familiars now done too.

Also - Holiday Critters are done.

I will do the Fishing Critters, Wild Critters, and Monsters soon.
Halfbreeds will be done... hopefully this month - as they take a lot of calculation.. I may try to bring staff into it.

[Saphira]

Yays! =) Thank you Spirit.
