Discussion Experimental Balance System?!

[xXObanXx]

Hello boys!
I was thinking ways that someone can make a balance into a server...
Lineage is a game with many different characters and skills... So the balance is really hard some times...
I thought that by balancing skills and stats only, doesn't fix the problem on a point of view...
so I created a code that is changing the final outcome damage to a higher or lower percentage..
I think is better to check the code by yourself and give me a feedback.

   public static double calcPhysDam(L2Character attacker, L2Character target)
   {
      L2PcInstance targetPlayer = target.getActingPlayer();
      L2PcInstance attackerPlayer = attacker.getActingPlayer();
      
      boolean isPvP = attacker.isPlayable() && target.isPlayable();
      
      final L2Weapon weapon = attacker.getActiveWeaponItem();
      L2Armor armor = targetPlayer.getActiveChestArmorItem();
      
      if (isPvP)
      {
         if (weapon != null)
         {
            if (armor != null)
            {
               switch (attackerPlayer.getClassId())
               {

With this code i can either control the OP damage from classes with other weapons like the common issue with tanks with bow...
with less words... Each character is able to deal the maximum damage he can ONLY with his weapon... not another class's weapon.

Hello boys!

I was thinking ways that someone can make a balance into a server...

Lineage is a game with many different characters and skills... So the balance is really hard some times...

I thought that by balancing skills and stats only, doesn't fix the problem on a point of view...

so I created a code that is changing the final outcome damage to a higher or lower percentage..

I think is better to check the code by yourself and give me a feedback.

With this code i can either control the OP damage from classes with other weapons like the common issue with tanks with bow...

with less words... Each character is able to deal the maximum damage he can ONLY with his weapon... not another class's weapon.

achievable with just passing a skill on each class and playing with xmls, why to create so must useless stuff when you have the option to just add either mastery penalty or xml: using kind "Sword,Blunt ... etc

1. Perhaps this code does something that's not that simple by editing skills, items, stats etc 1 by 1.

2. As i already said in the topic "I thought that by balancing skills and stats only, doesn't fix the problem on a point of view..."

 

The skills are skills... You can handle a weak or strong skill... but it's difficult to handle the overall damage of some character to another (e.g a good warrior like duelist and a skilled player can sometimes almost achieve a 2v1 fight with 2 mages | a good archer can kill a mage without even let him react | a good dagger can face everyone except mages because of her evasion.)

 

The balance doesn't come always from the skills and the skills doesn't always bring you balance.... Plus... with this code you can handle a part of balance really quick and easy!

Interesting code, and how you check ingame  ?

Sorry, I don't share it... yet.

Atm I just want to hear some feedback from the community :)

Acctualy i had a bit same idea, but to use bots and statistic from theyr fights, to make some sort of graphic - that would show the dependence of low class vs>> over powerd class(with different items, skills, buffs, attrs, and etc)

If you're interested to cooperate - can you send me pm ?

Acctualy i had a bit same idea, but to use bots and statistic from theyr fights, to make some sort of graphic - that would show the dependence of low class vs>> over powerd class(with different items, skills, buffs, attrs, and etc)

If you're interested to cooperate - can you send me pm ?

Creating bots to test stats is so much waste of time...

and you'll never achieve something good from that...

You'll waste so much time create a code and make bots fighting like real players and it's literally much faster to finish whatever you want and open a public beta server to fix the balance + skills + stats items etc.

The bots idea - is to not make Open beta server, cause if server is very custom and it should be noticed to earlier, then its maybe only way, i still dont get how you test your balance ? On real players ?

of course.. an Open Beta server is the best way to balance your server and test for bugs/glitches etc.

BETA is this only way.. especially if you have a couple of events/codes/areas and plus to test your farm rewards, xp etc. + the balance...

By fixing all the possible bugs and balance issues by yourself or with only 2-3 people and then opening a live server... It's kinda so waste of advertisement and money for it because when people will see the bugs and the balance issues, they won't care about fixing them... they'll start hating and flaming about the server and then you've just created 1 more dead-server!

not worthy at all

Got to agree with that.

So a possible solution is to give people live Beta since none (mby) will join a beta server to support you.

they do but every class is different... and i want to change their values differently from the other's if they're weak or too strong

advertisement for BETA. If the server is BETA and people would join, you have an excuse for the unfixed balance and bugs and people will understand and will help you.. They'd do on live server too... but there'd be much more haters and tears!

thank you.. now could you tell me the reason you're saying that spammer?!

[Ghost]

You could, indeed, get this done simply by giving characters a passive skill and applying the bonuses depending on the character class, as Kelrzher said. But you're not really going to balance anything that way.

 

Lineage II always have had its very own meaning of balance.
