Hi guys,
This is an attempt of constructive thread to talk about specific mechanics. We talked about everything in many threads but I guess it could be very interresting to focus.
This could help devs to understand what players like or not about those mechanics and what suggestions could make it better.
Let's focus on dipping here.
First of all : feedback.
What are your PROS/CONS for/against dipping ?
According to me :
+ I like the "concept". Being able to ignite my sword and my arrows/bolt make sense.
+ I like being able to interract with the environment. This is an interresting possibility to do it.
+ Visually, I find burning weapons pretty cool.
- At the moment it's really not immersive at all. A Sword that ignite in the flame of a candle looks really silly to me.
- Still about immersion, I don't like that the entire weapon is burning (thinking about bows and crossbows first). That's totally WTF especially when our weapons are sheathed but still burning.
- It devalue the utility of a magical fire weapon, and I like magical fire swords.
- I'm sad the AI can't use dipping. It gives us a powerfull and easy advantage. It contribute to the easy difficulty of the game.
- I find it too easy at the moment. This is something you can nearly use for free at each combats. This doesn't feel special at all. I think it should be a tactical choice.
According to me it should require a material in your inventory.
This would be a great step to more immersion and to a more balanced and interresting mechanic (considering we wouldn't find this items everywhere).
It would still be cool to find a +1D4 fire magical sword and some specific ennemies could be allowed to use dipping to look more Impressive.
About the burning bows, I'm not sure it's possible to only ignite the arrow but that's not very important to me. If weapons stop burning when you store them, it would be fine.
Tell us your pros/cons about dipping.
Is that really something you like or not and why ?
What could leads to something better according to you ?
I hope it's note too hard to read and understand. I tried to do m'y best^^
