Sinique Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I thought at first the dummies were placed out because you actually were able to train your skills on them, archery, swords etc. But I after I'd shot out my entire quiver a few times I gave up the wish for that. However, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be impossible to make the dummies act like targets, even though they are completely still and non-aggroed. I thought it would be cool if you could be able to train your archery and such outside combat, because sometimes you simply don't feel like walking out in the forrest killing animals, or trolls you know. And a real warrior, archer and so on would definitely train their skills on dummies once in a while, or at least in the start of their hero career, no? Agree, yeah?

I agree in the basic concept, but with a cap. I don't think ppl should be able to skill to 100 in a static environment... that smells of exploit to me. Though if you can train the first 25 or so points in a safe environment with a dummy or practice area... that would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I'm thinking more like, yeah 25 each (i dont know) day, week or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSCReaver Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 The problem with a daily cap is that you could still become a master armsman or archer (whatever skill you're practicing) without ever needing to actually put these skills to use in a practical way. Like beating on a punching bag versus fighting a rival boxer, sort of. Adding a short-term cap just makes the transition less jarring - in the end, you're still punching a bag and becoming adept at punching a live target who fights back. A permanent cap at 25 would be more to my liking, as the dummies would serve a purpose, but there's still the idea that you can only learn so much in practice. That said, its just how I feel about it. Feel free to disregard my ideas and go about making it however you'd enjoy it most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
