Some Snake Gripes

[Ssikin]

Okay I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing snake gripes but I got a couple myself... for those of you who don't know, I rarely if ever post so hopefully this won't come across as bitching but as wanting to balance the game out a little bit.


1. Snakes need an upgrade of some sort.
I didn't have a reason to post this until Earth Fog was added into the game. Simply put I think the spell is useful but makes being a yuan-ti ele comepltely not worth the time and effort. When I bitched about yuan-tis not having better int and agi then dooger's people always responded "Yeah, but your not dayblind." well now neither are dooger elementalist anymore. So that bonus means nil now. The only reason I haven't thrown Ssikin out is because I love playing a snake. I would like to see snakes get a bonus of some sort that was worth a damn to make playing my ele worth it.

2. Snakes need to be able to mount.
Not having legs does not mean you can't ride things.... anyone ever see someone ride side saddle? This is not a big thing and I'll only bitch about it if the above mentioned gripe is taken care of... (j/k :-P) but seriously there is times where mount would be great... especially since snakes don't get all that many moves to begin with... if mount can't be accomodated then being able to recline and slither (therefore losing the ability to cast and get items ect.) using less mvs would be the next best thing to not having mount.

I hope these things are taken into consideration and some info would be nice.

Thank you gods for a great mud and I hope this info helps you out a bit. 8)

- if you recline and slither to take less moves...

I like that idea! I have a yuan ele too that I really like.. But I havn't played him in many months for much of the same reasons. It gets frustrating.

The only gripes I'd add is the lack of tail eq. It can't be that hard to make some noob tail eq and put it in Hyssk...

Hey, at least your equipment restrictions mean diddly in SPOB =9

Actually that's another funny thing... we can't wear the mage robes in SPOB because they're full body and we have no legs. :)

Agree.

Can it be made such that full-body uses tail instead of legs on snake? If not, can we get some full-snake gear that works like full body but is tailored for the tails instead of legs?

(If the same full body gear can be worn on ogres and halflings, then why can't it be worn on those with/without legs?)

bump!

With fog it does seem's no one is really paying much attention to playing new snakes. Playing one now for the first time and I wonder why my moves wearing fly are eaten up so fast and what advantage - if any that snakes might have?

lots of good ideas and valid points in this thread.

they have no advantages only disadvantages, unless you count tailsweep, vipermind scaleskin.

ps, there are lots of tailrings in game now.

just the ones in hyssk are on R U MAD mobs, and have umf crud 4 stats*like most of the eq there*
wont post stats but they arnt worth the time to get to id...save +style

snake warriors/rogues need more psp
all yaunti need a way of recharging psp faster

if you use ur skills as soon as they go out, you end up not being able to keep up.

either faster or more of it or both, rogues cant even try to befriend reptiles if he wants to keep skin/mind up.
