Ganksta 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 Well, I know the point of Nemesis is to be as close to original hb as possible. Original HB = HB Korea, and hb korea has this implemented. Maybe it's been discussed before, and maybe staff doesn't agree....BUT I think it helps balance warriors with mages. It also helps (slightly) against BBH stripping your armors so damned fast. Even at +1, a 14% strong item is about the same +endurance as a +1 armor. So it's not a 100% chance to succeed +1, +2, +3..... But you cannot lose the item unless you fail on +4. Once again if this has been posted before and shot down, I apologize :P Edit: It took a little digging, but I found the actual update post on hbkorea that says they have +3 safe (it can fail but you won't lose the item). http://64.233.187.132/translate_c?hl=en&am...LZQ9EYbxfq3uFbQ This is the Google Translator link, translation is REALLY rough on this part, but I think you can interpret it correctly.

raMz 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 I like this idea.. But yet warriors will be overpowered to with this.. Figure out a BBH+3, DM5, Dragon ring.. THats kinda huge.. And if the MA set with evertyhing +3, it could be hard for mages to strip it? Im not quite sure about what im saying.. Been a hell of a time i played mage sooo.. Please correct me if i am wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~WhiteFang 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 well, it sounds nice... but... "xelima rapier +3" ... "GBH +3" ... "Light plate mail +3" ... they'll become common, which would be bad I think. the idea is nice if it's about blacksmith items (bbh, tower shield, ...) but I think for rare items it would make it bad.

And if the MA set with evertyhing +3, it could be hard for mages to strip it? Im not quite sure about what im saying.. Been a hell of a time i played mage sooo.. Please correct me if i am wrong There are already mass bbh+3 in game, actually it's almost more common than bbh+1... MA set isn't common at all btw, and armor break gets rid of those pesky ma armors REALLY fast, unless it's a helm. +3 on armors only adds around +45% endurance (correct me if I'm wrong here) On a chain mail that's still only 1450 endurance, so it's not THAT great, just a little better. +4/+5/+6/+7 are REALLY hard to get without breaking an item, and items like those won't flood the game, be certain of it. well, it sounds nice... but... "xelima rapier +3" ... "GBH +3" ... "Light plate mail +3" ... they'll become common, which would be bad I think. the idea is nice if it's about blacksmith items (bbh, tower shield, ...) but I think for rare items it would make it bad. x rapier +3 doesn't even matter, no one uses it for the dice damage :P. GBH damage is shit as is, I don't see how +3 can hurt. It's not an obscene amount of damage added, but it does help enough to warrant it being implemented. It's the really big risk takers that will go for +4 on things like these. The extra endurance to armors isn't enough to make a huge difference with the power of armor breaking items in the game. It makes just enough difference for those few extra swings of bbh or casts of armor break. The +3 on weapons isn't enough to make you smack a critical on every hit, or even uber high damage, but it is just enough to make a difference in the meager damage of warriors vs mages in hb nemesis.

Have you ever been hit by a GBH while playing a mage? If so, you wouldn't have said that. :P It does hurt, and it strips a heck of a lot more than a normal bbh.

Eldon 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 GBH does hurt sorry, even with shield casting its damage is decent. There's already some +5 weapons around, and that's considering you can lose the weapon past +1. I like it how it is. With +1 a +3 weapon is rare, with +3 a +5 weapon is rare. It's just going to make them more common, which I don't see doing anything good for HB economy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Synz 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 I suggested something similar earlier, mainly to help other weapon builds outside of the normal BBH/DK weapon users. The game makers made several wrong choices when making this game... 1. Swords should do the most damage. 2. Axes should be between sword and hammer damage, and swing faster than both. 3. Hammers should do lowest damage and strip. I have NO idea why they made the strongest weapons in the game also the stripping weapons, worst idea ever. But more along the lines of the topic: I don't support being able to +3 everything in the game. I am definitely for being able to +3 gis, baxe, and most every other weapon besides the BBH and BH. A sharp baxe+3 rep7 might actually be as good as a blacksmith BH this way. HAHA, JK, I DOUBT IT. :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By "+5 weapons around" you mean +5 bbhs amirite? bbh3 is -NOT- rare in hb nemesis. bbh5 -IS- rare in hb nemesis, and will still be rare with +3 safe due to the insanely high chance to fail past +3. Not to mention it will make items ---other than BS items that you can just buy and upgrade, without worrying about failing because all you lose is an xstone--- better. You will see more GiS users, more bh users, more baxe users etc. Not just bbh/dk15 wars everywhere you look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LLL 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 Nice idea, mages really are overpowered. Mage with a decent mp set and dk15 wand can kill any war in pvp, if he only knows how to play right (maybe less than 5 mages in nemesis). But since there are so many mages with weak playing skills, I'm not sure if this is a good suggestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be it balance or whatever. it was might still be on hbUSA, but that doesnt mean its better. im not a big fan for this, but i really dont think it would hurt the server, my concern would be bbh+3 being way to easy to get (i know there pretty common now anyway) im just a anti BBH kind of guy. so my stance would be a no to make it safe to upgrade to +3 w/ out a chance to lose the item.

~WhiteFang 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 hb korea has it, our spirit here it to keep as close to original as possible. They've probably added it with certain purposes for balancing Helbreath. If we keep the spirit, i'd say add it, just for the spirit. Personally I don't really like that, as it makes the difference between strong and less strong players much bigger. It'll become harder to EK with a new character that has not items, though if the player plays alot, he'll reach the same anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timma 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 i just dont see the benefit here. you say to encourage more builds but in the end, all this will do would make more BBH wars, no point of upgrading a BS or Manu item except for BBH, yes it would make certain items better ie. Sharp Baxe and GiS, but at the same time you will be making the DK war weaker. also theres already people who complain about breaking other players armor sets, imagine the uproar when everyone starts to have ma+3 sets. and finally im not sure but when upgrade a item with a xStone doesnt it add Hitting Prob also ?

Their ma sets might all be "strong x%" you never know. It's not really hard to break any ma set, it's actually quite easy to do. The hard sets to break are MR.
