Skills POI
Post: #1
I'm pretty sure the discussion has come up at one point or another, and I'm not gonna Thor the forums for it.

But...

I'd like to see our skills make it into the POI. The actual "rank" of the skill doesn't need to be there to keep a bit of the mysticism alive, but an ordered list of who's on top would be cool. There'd be a separate list for each skill.

Whaddya think?

5.) You hit for 1073 points of damage. (xx) resists 20 for a total of 1053 damage. <-- My first crit over 1K - no candy. :-) 2/14/10

29.) You hit for 1120 points of damage. Xavier Halcon resists 54 for a total of 1066 damage. <-- 2/15/10!

While I like it, I'd first like to see one of three things. Bird's profile personalization, the ladder program suggested to show how we all rank, or revamped gang wars.

I wouldn't want everyone to know what skills I have trained. And even if the ranks weren't listed it wouldn't be hard to figure out about what they were.

How come?

I definitely agree with this though.

If people knew what skills you have trained they would know what weapon type you were useing, when you get into the higher skills they could even guess which one exactly. For things like MA they would know who to hit first in a gang war. Just all around I am afraid I don't like the idea. Sorry

It's totally OK that we don't agree. You bring up good points!

I'm pretty sure the fight log helps to narrow down what weapon types people are using. Helps with a lot of things...

On a note related more to this, I don't mind others knowing my skill set. I'd post it right here...It's not like they can use it against you that much.

Is that Melee player useing an axe or a long blade? Fight log won't tell you that, a poi for skills would. So in a gang war which are you going to try and keep from hitting your hide out first?

We can already guess stats based on POI and career levels based on POI. So those people in engineering and construction get taken out first anyways.

Another list I am not a fan of, mostly for that reason. But as far as I know it has been around longer than I have, not likely it will go away.
