Feedback Request 05/30/2013 - Creatures (Test Server Only)
The Test Server is open to the public and I would like your feedback regarding the current state of creatures.
Changes
Migration system completely redone to ensure a better balance and spread of creatures throughout the Xsyon world.
Creatures age faster.
Creatures run slower in general, especially small critters.
Creature speed is variable based on the creature's age and power.
Creatures hp balanced and reduced for small critters.
Creature damage slightly revised.
Small mutant critters are more aggressive.
The Power factor on animal parts is now in 5 increments: 0.2, 0.4, 0.4, 0.8, 1.0.
In particular I would like to get a feel again from players regarding:
Speed: Are creatures too fast or too slow?
Behavior: Are creatures too aggressive or too passive?
HP: Do creatures have too much or too little health?
Power: Are creatures too strong or too weak? Do they hit too hard?
Is a specific creature out of balance?
Please keep your comments to creatures as they are on the Test Server only.
I will post additional changes as they are patched out.
