unbalanced for new player

ArchaicLord · Feb 14th 2019, 6:13am

I find it pretty disgusting that players can bring 8.3 gear to a yellow zone chest.

New players have no chance of ever getting not to mention its also contested with many many other players.

Al they can do realistically which is gather (for majority that's pretty boring) or kill mobs in.

I really think new players should be provide content that they actually have a chance at instead of being over powered by greedy people who need to feel there special because they kill new players in t3 gear.

1) If somebody brings 8.3 gears and gets KOed they will repair for a shit ton of silver.
2) Yellow zone is IP capped so pointless to bring high tier stuff.

In Yellow Zones Item power is "soft-capped" at 800 if I'm not mistaken (whatever "softcap" means)

That means if somebody has for example 1200ip, in yellow zone it will be something like 800ip+(400ip reduced by 80% or 50% i don't remember the values) = 900ip or 1000ip.

That prevent high tier to run rampage on yellow zone bulling newcomers.

Ah, cool! There's a variable "itempowerscalingfactor=0.2" in the game files, so I guess it means it takes only 20% of the difference.

yellows zones item power functions EXACTLY like the arena item power mechanics:

If that bothers you Archaic you are going to love getting swarmed by the dire wolf squads in black!

Yea TBH if that guy gets knocked down once 10 yellow zone chests won't pay his repair bill.

Get a few of these apparently downtrodden new players and dogpile 8.3 boy. Pick up the silver dropped and laugh at his repair bill.

Just how hard is a command mammoth to take down in OW?

letwolf · Feb 15th 2019, 1:06pm

2 ballistas + 5 claws and he is easy as horse

leftyleap · Feb 20th 2019, 10:56am

new players are new... that's not disgusting.. it's a fact.

Im new player as well and i think about where im going and what im doing there. You need to be prepared to some grind and prepare to loose some stuff during first encounters. This game with full loot and if you not ready to share some silver as a result of unfairness from better equipped players, maybe this game is not for you as always will be some one who is better equipped than yourself.

Main idea is bee prepared to loose what ever you caring with you at any time and life will become so much less stressful for you.
