Update [June 15 07] - small bushido changes

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 7:59 pm

* Evasion now lasts from 1 to 7 seconds, which is based off your skill in bushido, tactics, and anatomy. So for 7 seconds, you need 120 these 3 skills. At GM it will last 5 seconds.

* Lightning strike maxes out your HCI, if you are already at 45HCI, it has no more effect on hit chance. Basicaly LS is like adding an item with 45 HCI on it. Aparantly this is how its supose to be so I changed it.

* Changed the "must be weilding weapon" message on evasion because it was wrong, but I noticed its still wrong, so it should be fixed next reboot, wont bother posting again just for that as its a very minor issue.

I don't consider this a small change to be honest.

I don't know how many people use Bushido, but I'm pretty sure Evasion is supposed to be based off Parrying and Bushido not tactics and anatomy is it not?

What would be the point of a bushido mage if you have to have all three of those skills + parrying? Not to mention, since you just made the change also where anatomy only does DI when tactics is not present, would it not make sense that you shouldn't have to have both of them to have Evasion last longer?

Personally, if you're going to make that change i think it should last for your total skill in BUSHIDO + Parrying OR Tactics OR Anatomy, whichever you have.

This is an OSI change. I have no idea what their formula is, but based on an OSI dev:

Evasion duration now scales with Bushido skill

* If the player has higher than GM Bushido, and GM Tactics and Anatomy, they get a 1 second bonus
* Evasion duration range:
- 3-6 seconds w/o tactics/anatomy
- 6-7 seconds w/ GM+ Bushido and GM tactics/anatomy

So basically the duration is 1 + those 3 skills divided by 70. But now that I re-read that, its based on GM tactics/anat, not 120, so I'll change up the formula a bit. So with 120 it should be like 8-9 seconds maybe.

Okay.

So parrying has nothing to do with length it lasts, but moreso just your chance to evade?

I was originally concerned that you would have evasion last for only like 1 second if you only had Bushido.

yeah parry does not play a role in this as far as I know, its bushido, tactics and anat that do. And the formula is a bit off right now, I'll be tweaking it. Planing to maybe run an update tonight even since the online count is rather low for a friday. A few little things got changed, like white wyrm hues and stuff.

I'm only not online because I'm downloading a bunch of stuff.

All legit things of course.

the home based QoS ones suck, I got one, does not really do anything. I set UO as being top priority and I still get lag if I download stuff or upload stuff to the server. Wish I had the cash for a Cisco.

Hmm, mine with DD-WRT works fine. I can be downloading at full clip and UO on port 1337 will run without lag. It is very sensitive to the max u/l d/l values that you set...

Yep that will hit up to 35. Based on the code, what it basically does is it ignores the armor.

I believe they used the tactics and anatomy thing so that evasion would pertain more to warriors. A mage is less likely to have these skills where as a warrior it would be no problem. It was likely put in to balance out bushido mages and ensure that they don't overpower a bushido warrior with their evasion capabilities. Also, parrying is likely not in the formula because it pertains to a different aspect of evasion. Gm bushido and tactics may increase the duration, but the overall chance to evade is based on your parrying and bushido.
