Chart of Abyss Ranks

[Tsantilas]

There is no point you just get like 1 AP that's it. It more of a waste of time doing it.

To most people that hunt lowbies it's not about the time spent but the "pleasure" of knowing that on the other side of the screen some poor guy is cursing at you for ganking him. They get the kicks out of that kind of thing even if games sometimes give penalties for that kind of behavior. Any time a game gives you the chance to attack someone weaker than you, you can be sure that someone is doing it and being happy with himself.

I have a question about this actually, but I don't know if someone asked it before. Abyss points can be spent to buy gear correct? Are these the same abyss points used to calculate rank? If so, by spending abyss points on gear, can your rank drop?

Yes, they are the same points. If you buy gear your rank will go down.

I don't think so. You keep you sweet rank or you some badas.s weps.

it's not lame. holding rank should be a constant progress anyway, not some static win. besides you can always earn it back, since if you're really worth the rank it won't be long until you get it again anyway.

[Tsantilas]

yes I agree it should be a constant progress, but it's not like getting to the top means you'll get to keep it, because there will obviously be other people trying to beat you in points, and spending abyss points on gear will cause you to pretty much forfeit your position to the runner ups. Not to mention that, once someone gets all their abyss gear and gets top rank, he wont have any reason to spend more abyss points, while any newer player will have a harder time, because not only will they have to catch up in points, but even if they do they will be undergeared comparatively.

Unless there's some kind of abyss point decay then I see this as an issue... but I don't really know that much about the abyss point system to begin with so feel free to explain it to me a little better

I agree with this.
Plus, the higher rank you are, the more you have to lose.
It actually will give you incentive to not die, and play better - unlike most games
where this isn't much of a penalty to dying, other than health % loss.

I like the if you die you loss AP. Like you said it makes people play better and all.

Ok... I don't care anymore. You could have asked and I would have edited it back to what it was. But you didn't. Thanks for taking my work and f'ing with it.

I agree.
Yeah, it's like someone mentioned earlier, this'll make it close to impossible for casual players to rank higher than hardcore players. But quite frankly, I don't want this game to turn into what WoW did: a casuals dreamland.


If you want good players to stay within a game, you have to keep it a challenge.

For the new table, Am i reading it right?

the higher rank you get the more AP you get for killing mobs/players, but the more you lose?
