Well as I see it, in particular with places like DT, there are noobs runnin round with rods/horns that are faaaaaar to powerful for them, we need some kinda limiting system that allows higher lvls to use rods, but also prevents noobs abusin em.

Well, I have looked and seen that intelligence (int) is currently not bein used for anythin (as far as I know). Well why not use this for rods? SOme kinda formula like rod/horn lvl-int lvl=MD lvl at which rod/horn can be used. Whatya think, huh punks? :lol:

Yeah, you may have a point, Psy, about locking noobs out of DT.

But otoh keys to dungeon B obtainable only after conquering dungeon A begin to make the game too linear and restrictive, imo;

I like Ele's basic idea a lot. Devices  should require Int to use, and lvl 1 chars should be restrained from charging around with a lvl 50 fs rod!

yeah, Smacky makes alot of sense! That would make the game look like a knock off from any other RPG.

Kyle also brings an interesting point to light. Noobs could just go and buy Intel stuff and that wouldn't be too fair.
hmm, not sure what else to use in a case like this :?!

I of course voted no!

I still want there to be a lvl requirement. I think MT agreed to that, or at least some other devs do (i don't know of any who don't so...). The rod nurf is known as the storm nurf, and only effects storm rods. MB rods still can do all of this damage at lvl 1.

@ Kyle and whoever made the point of noobs gettin lotsa real hi lvl rods/horns. Okay, I thought there was a max of like 25? This would mean that the max lvl rod that a lvl 50 could have is lvl 75 and thats because theyve devoted all there stat armour/rings/ammys to it and so have thouroughly deserved it. The int doesnt give that much an advantage. If ya want to make it harder just do somthin like
(rod/horn lvl+10)-int=MD lvl rquired. I mean u get good bonuses if u increase other stats by 25, so surely raising in by 25 should make a decent bonus 2?

But LOL, it cant get more mixed than this, 2 votes for each option . Also, keys sound not too bad, tho Smacky makes good point, maybe if u get like UC key at lvl 15 and DT key at lvl 25, so that most can go to all, just lo lvl noobs who cant

If the people you talk about can be in the high lvl places, what say that a quest or key make any different.
Maby if they use the keep distance type.

I answered Um to the poll. I dont like the ways rods and horns use.
That make normal magic pretty useless.
I think that the levels that you need should be different levels of magic. Like one ball, two balls, storm or whatever should be used. I like the idea of bind it with Int witch is used for magic.
Think of Gandalf in LOTR, if you is 100% magical you will your magic trough the magical item and make it powerfull. If you on the otherhand choose a fighter, you wont have so much magic and wont be as strong as the magic type.

Another thing is that there should be different types like fire/ice/lightning-rods. At lvl 1 you maby shoot one lightning and gets stronger untill lvl 5 or something and then shoot three lighning instead. (anyone who played PSO know what i mean) I mean also that you can find/buy these lvl

I think that int should be the strenght of the magic.
Take magic bullet for example, normaly when you have 12 stats on int you do the normal damage.
But if you raise your int to 15 you do 13% more damage.
And the same with rods but then it raises to 16% because it strenghts your magic power.
With 25 in int it will raise to 36% more damage.

I coldnt figure what you statement was, so tell me if i made my point any clearer.
Thanx
