berserker gauntlets - feedback forum

Postby Annam » Wed Mar 25, 2009 2:12 pm

Some of our team members have put a considerable amount of time working on this item. There are still some changes / tweaks to be made, the the least of which is fixing the proc ansi/formatting. I understand that many might have had a chance to use them by now and would like to ask for some honest feedback. Will try and discuss all comments with the necessary staff members at the appropriate time while buttoning up what will hopefully be some final changes.

Basically as they are atm they aren't good. Ansi is great but stat wise considering everything given up for them they are just bleh.

The hit/dam proc on them is good but barely procs when wielding. Then it zaps you too much afterward.

One proc doesn't seem to do anything although I think it's meant to give you more attacks per round.

The proc that makes you attack random mobs in the room while fun is horrible When going to quest stuff you need to remember to take off the gauntlets or else you may attack the mob. When walking through town you need to remove gauntlets. etc...

Ideally the gauntlets would be something like ac10 2/2. Lose the random attack proc. And change the other two procs to be more along the lines of the raging with twilight where your hit/dam goes up and number of attacks goes up then fades. Keep the gauntlets war/ranger/dire only.

Just my thoughts,
Mike

second that... thats been my suggestion to writter ever since i quested them.

As are they are barely scardale quest worthy and considering what is involved in questing and the items given up, they need to be along the lines of the items given up in quality.

Ac 10 2/2 or even 2/3

Rage procs similar to twilight procs more attacks higher hit/dam then have it fade like twilight does.

Maybe make a proc dependent if your dual, if you sword shield, and one for 2handed weapons

remove the random attack, although from a rp standpoint its cool, from a aplication to the game its extremely lame.

Also make it proc while wielding so you dont have to be barehanded to get better procs, or bring back monks since there are now 2 sets of gauntlets that are for barehanded combat.

again these have been my suggestions for last 3 months =)

Here's my feedback. Why does it take 3 months of a crappy item to finally get feedback/fix?
It will be fixed in Toril 2.0.

b) he's asking for feedback etc, "why you gotz to be trippin yo!"

Oh Snap! You just got hijacked, boi! - And yeah, random attacking of mobs is crazy bad. I'd suggest a stun effect instead, as per nightmare/spook effect at worst.

I think with the berserker rage should come the random attacking. Yes its a negative effect, but easily remedied by removing said gauntlets when in a non-hostile environment. Its right along the lines of keeping spells up. Do you really keep all your spells rolling while sitting in town? I didn't think so. I do agree that you shouldn't have to be barehanded to get the extra attacks. Additionally, making it the same proc/modifier as twilight could have some incredible bordering on insane numbers when using both items together. Not sure i agree with that.

2fold:

Current code treats anything held or worn as shield, as NOT bare-handed. Bad


REALLY bad - There's substantial penalty for hitting when unarmed vs benefit of the 1h/2h slash, etc. skill. Tested this already. Very frustrating

Running through zones you dont just remvoe eq normaly, but gautnlets you have to because if your sitting there talking to a quest mob or rare in a zone trying to figure out a quest, whoever has gauntlets on is just gonna aggr mob.

Examples GF goodie group
all of muspel rares including balor
Seelie bard quest mob
Izans quest mob behind throne
Magma quest mobs all over grid


There are too many quest mobs spread throughout zones to have just random attacking as a side effect.

You quest too many items in this to have it stated this bad and have bad affects.... ac 10 0/0.... average in combat if you remove weapon to get it going is like 2/2 - 4/4, but your 0/0 until you get procs going... and soon as combat is over it fades back to 0/0, and you randomly attack mobs everywhere....

Turning in alot of top end stuff and rare stuff to this is item is silly at best. Random attacking was so bad with werewolf they removed it then too. Its a great idea but in game mechanics its really bad with the ammount of rares throughout zones.

Randomly attacking mobs is always bad.

the same issue can be said about battletrance, was xping my troll with evils a few weeks ago and battletrance took a while to fade, so we almost ended up killing another groups mob... if you do any zone that malia mentioned as evils and wander in on a quest mob with battletrance up you could end up attacking it and causing group spank/the zone to be un-finishable

1. Making it take longer to lose rage bonuses.
2. You should only randomly attack mobs while raged.

Do these gauntlets even matter? There aren't many zones that require you to constantly fight. This game has always been about fight, mem, repeat.

So don't wear 'm unless you're in an invasion or some other kill fest. If we actually created equipment you have to swap out based on situation that's pretty awesome in my books.

If I read that correctly, these gaunts have a special/enhanced proc effect when not wielding a weapon, that cannot occur whilst wielding a weapon?

That's plain dumb whilst there are no monk types in the game, by the sounds.

I dunno about the random mob attacking effect - sounds kinda cool.

Oh, and put that back into pchar werewolf too!

What duggy really needs to do is make the new spell, 'Power word Dwarf'

Summons a dwarf to belch in the opponent's face, dazing or petrifying him instantly.

These gauntlets are horrible btw. I can't even use them in exp where I'm constantly killing mobs. The proc always fades.
