Why do they make this game so confusioning D&D is similar than this game system and D&D is complicated to most people. Makes me wonder why people even bother trying to figure this stuff out cause you after you start doing all this math you got take into account CAPS the developers will restrict you anyways. Seems really dumb to even have the ++ system impliemented into the game first place if its only a tenth a percentage. Third why don't doesn't the game simply just tell you ingame assume you level 15, you highlight power X says (15-20) base damage. You find an ENCHANCEMENT (10) it gives 10% higher damage ENCH(11) gives 11% then when developers say they want to rebalance the game limit damage to 10% you highlight 11% says capped at 10% only 10% will affect I don't get why you need to take this game to one hundredth power X lvl X base. Then you have cap limiting you so you can't really do it and then when you go to RESISTANCE or HOLD or SOMETHING else the ENHANCEMENT is totally different yet still says 11 even in reality it is something waky like 5.01% so long as your a blaster and if your a controller its 6.01% and if your capped its 6.01% but capped at 4.98% unless your attacking a bigger mob what the hell!!!!!
This is game is wacked... I played Lineage II, Guild Wars, Dark Age of Camelot which have complicated systems too but not so it makes no sense. You have no idea after one release to the next can you out right tell me what is the cap on a controller with power X damage with 6 slots power and two I have are ++ and three are over my level by 2 and 1 under would be without calculation nightmare.
Dark Age of Camelot has 3 REALMS and over 6 RACES and under that over 6 SUBJOBS to balance powers and overly complex system of manufacturing goods but at least it makes sense I know my sword says I need to be level 5 (15-20) and I am going to hit between 15-20 and if I enchant it I can get 10% bonus +5 and it all clearly says it on the weapon so I know 10% of time I slash something I am going to get +5 on someone. They have the same COLOR CON system but if you hit someone higher then you its just a simple % difference in your overall ability to hit.
and they get a simple %+ to their damage for ever level above yours. And when they have CAPS they reduce the ITEMs or POWERs so you can't possibly do it in the first place so I CAN'T do it!!!
Now all their stuff is pretty complicated too with each race having different hit points and items and powers grow with each level but hell it's better then calculating this system of nonsense every time I want to put something into my low level character and find out it's worthless because of my other power.
Please someone has to precalculate all caps and enchments it seems nuts maybe X*3*4 except blaster get 3x2* power -3 cap as long as not over 600% works for you guys but I think the whole system seem overdone when in end its based what slots you put where seems crazy.
--------------------
So to be serious now, can someone post a simplest example say a ENH using only my level and tell me CAP Restriction on it's POWERs and DEFENSEs % and SLOW/HOLD all based on ENH assuming 6 slots are all try to be used. Or is this simple question simply impossible cause of all the powers need to be listed extra? Do all def powers start out the a certain percentage?
