The New Magic System

Lylic · #1 02-24-2006, 09:33 PM

First of all, I would like to say that I am glad the new Bomboria and the new magic system has been implemented. It's a good step for kingdoms. As I am sure many are well aware, the new system has taken away any sort of balance to the game. The new spells, while having awesome looking effects, are EXTREMELY overpowered. ONE single cast of lightning can drain my entire 431 HP. I don't believe that his was the intended effect of the new system... but in my opinion, something has to be done.

**** Yeah

I have no objections. That's what you guys get for all the years of "Magic is for noobs."

Someone level 61 phys shouldn't be able to be beat by someone level 14 magic. To be fair, the levels have to even out.

An even battle should be someone 30 phys and someone 30 magic, right now, all you need is level 10 magic and you can beat even someone level 107 phys.

The targetting system is a good idea. However, the whole server is totally imbalanced now.

Phys is now useless on GK.

Magic now owns everyone in a matter of a few minutes... and worse, if you get away from a particular person and their spell you still get effected by it because they have seemingly targeted you.

This "improvement" as it stands right now has effectively ruined GK for me and I know others.

This has nothing to do with saying that "magic is for newbs." It's about being fair and balanced...

and I know that you Draenin can't possible say that this is either.

I'll test out the damage later. I'm level 9 magic, so if I can school someone hardcore with a spell, then yeah, I'll agree with you guys. Magic should be powerful, but not so powerful you knock out someone 50 levels above you.

Lylic · #7 02-24-2006, 10:01 PM

50 levels... well cubes killed me and he is level 15 magic... and I am 110... so that's... uh... *does the math* 95 levels above him???

Rick · #8 02-24-2006, 10:03 PM

haha

Serves you right for glitching to 110 :P

Hey lylic, I agree its uber-unfair, but face it. EVERY level 110 has glitched there. Dont complain.

The magic needs nerfed, and flaming aura needs to be restored. Why does Leuc get an uber magic spell that is WORSE than flaming aura? Its ***. Balor is just the waste of a god now.

He's level 60ish Phys. Yeah real fair.

Magic didn't become "overpowered". It's just that magic resist now plays a bigger factor. If your magic resistance is -40, you're going to get owned.

Lylic · #12 02-24-2006, 10:10 PM

what the hell... since when is alchemy a glitch??? everyone has the opportunity to do so... and why do you keep the material pertinent to the thread...

Damix2 · #13 02-24-2006, 10:10 PM

50 magic resist and I still lose to someone whos 10 magic. I'm lvl 61 phys.

Not only does it do alot of damage but you can get out of it, lightning sticks you there, if it only hits you once you'll be fine but it keeps hitting you and you can't run out of it.

Lylic · #14 02-24-2006, 10:10 PM

well that's definitely not the case, because i used a resist magic scroll to get my magic resist to 35... and I still got killing in one hit... make sure that you know what you are talking about before you say something stupid

Draenin · #15 02-24-2006, 10:11 PM

Things that need to change:

Magic Damage either needs to be dumbed down, or armor needs to get resistances to different kinds of magic. Take your pick. The main complaint right now is that armor has been made useless due to magic and its potency. Don't nerf spells to do less damage than they usually did, though. The normal damage for magic was fine as it was.
