Highscore

[ctnbeh13]

Chest_Rockfield,

I appreciate the offer, but that's not necessary. I'm way too dedicated to claiming the least competitive top spot.

everyone knows i am the least competitive here
you get the second spot!

Oh yeah? Perhaps you'd be interested in challenging me to a high score that you set, with the only conditions being we fight without weapons, and only spend our skill points on the Corpse Eater skill. I must admit I'd have a slight advantage over you, as I currently possess the Oven Mitts of Corpse Eater. I don't know if you saw me wearing them in a previous post, but they heat up your kill to the VFDA approved 160° F, ensuring your meal is cooked properly before consumption, and add +3 to your HP for each corpse eaten. Here they are again: d.. ..b Jealous?

EPIC!!!




-----edit------
is a v0.6.10 highscore, really a possibility?!

As far as the "classic" highscore list goes, I'm curious how many people have used the Quick Learner skill and to what level?

I've got level 3 of QL so far, because I felt the benefit of extra stats from quicker level ups outweighed the benefit of other skills, other than the ones I've already used. And it probably changed my placing on the list too.

I've applied 5 points to Quick Learner myself so far. There's probably going to be a wide variation in how beneficial players perceive this one. I'm considering every other, or every third skill point acquired going into this one for a while. I intend to be involved in the project for a long time to come, and as the game should offer considerable playability even after its completion (in way of both quests and the release of the final version), there's still a great deal of potential to grow as a character.

nyktos is establishing himself to be an excellent advisor in building a character to suit the individual's style of game play through his ongoing experimentation of his own character builds.

I've witnessed a fair amount of acceleration in gaining of levels by various forum members since the implementation of the skill system. I would speculate this to be attributed to such skills as Quick Learner, as well as the rekindled interest in game play and time spent playing, as a result of the Skill system.

my main build has 2 in Quick Learner & 2 in Magic Finder by Lv.40
both being kinda arbitrary to the core growth of the character,
i wanted them limited, but effective.

the order in which you pick your skills
greatly effect the potential of your late game character (obviously)
the first four or five really, by then you have a pattern or scheme in mind.

for my main - i wanted 2 in MF before Lv.16, so i could get a RoLS early
knowing it would be a grind fest, my first two skills were QL.
i ended up with 2 rings & retired @ Lv. 45 in less than a month of casual play

i have no doubt he coulda been a contender, highscore indeed!
and thanks for the kind words ctnbeh13!

You guys are getting off topic.

Here is a place to chat about which skills u have picked.

Pyrizzle,

You're absolutely right. I hope you'll pardon me for getting so comfortable here. Kindly escorting us to the appropriate topic was truly a gentleman's touch, and my first experience of its kind. Why, I don't even feel dirty.

stay on topic,
we were talking about how QL effected the highscore list

[ctnbeh13]

Oh, right, right! Is it okay to discuss what I quickly learned concerning the Highscore list? I warn you before answering, that my self-appointed arch-nemesis (who lurks in the shadows, viewing posts from his lair), may chime in before you decide.

[Chest_Rockfield]

Uh oh... Here it comes.


Also, I believe my surge on the high score list was a result of all of the things ctnbeh13 mentioned. I had QL5 and played a lot as a result of the fun new skills. Now Pyrizzle has given me a reason to keep going when I was feeling able to slack after jumping all the way up to #8 from #16 (in that he said he was going to catch me).
