ELECTRO PULSE & VIRUS

[Dodger]

Im happy with the new way, without any resistence check. It makes it more challenging and gives the guy playing defence a better chance.

I agree.

[matlu]

I have to say that it makes some sense to me. I also think that this is what resstance is meant for.
In this case I would suggest to remove the "physical" attack, and replace it just with resistance check. But for purpose of Virus and EP the resistance value could be somehow reduced, or maybe halved.

[Dodger]

Okay....he way I think it should work is just the Base probability, no resistance or strength. Also the base probability should not change with alignment.
But I know that people will disagree, sooo.... Matlu's way sounds good.

[The_Gu3st]

Dodger explained it good, but heres the way it should actually work.

Base probability of 40% (50% actually) when targeting a monster
Base probability of 25% when targeting a commander.
No resistence check
Probability does not increase with alignment.

50% actually? What do you mean?

Otherwise I completely agree.

[The_Gu3st]

Well isnt the base probability currently 40%? If not, then make it 50%. If it is already 50%...well...leave it.

the only reason willie disagrees with the original idea is because he always tries to get low probability spiders and queens etc.  i believe that virus and electro-pulse should have no resistance factor, but the amount that the aligment affects the probability should be limited. ex. base probablility=40% but with mech aligment of 2 or higher the electropulse should have a maximum probability of 60-70%. I dunno i hope this make sense, im kinda out of it, and it was a rough night.....id like some other peoples opiniions to see if they agree

[Bakster]

Virus and EP shouldn't have Resistance. Then Spider and Pred are very hard to stop.

[Dodger]

Nope. I agree with Bakster.

[Dodger]

Matlu,

Sorry to be a burden...But are we keeping it how it is now??

Oh and I just noticed that when EP is targeted at a commander, his beacons are not destroyed. They should be.

Also, the EP and Virus graphics are only used on the card screen...Shouldn't they be used instead of the 'attack' graphic (when it suceeds). Does that make sense?

Thanks,

Dodger.

I don't know. People have different opinions. I'm not sure whom should i listen to.

[SiR gUt]

just leave it always a 70% chance to work or even 60%

I am sorry for avoiding a response to this thread.  I would need more time to come to a good opinion.  Christmas, Newyear, hurricane.

I guess the choices are the percieved original stats or a altered duelbord variation.

In the past duelboard's varriation IMO is better then original stats.  i.e. goo, duelboards goo is not to be under estimated, where as the original stat made it a waist of a turn.  The original goo stat should just be another comand for /quit because it was so stupid if you use it, you might as well quit!  Now it can turn to very serious threat after 10 turns that has even worked against me and sir gut from killing one exteremly easy kill guarded by goo.. Sometimes it works against you, but at least it's not a useless card.  Id rather have a fight then the easy kill.. Of course zozefup is always considered an easy kill
Sometimes I don't feel like calling it a kill, because when he comes I think it's more like suicide.   

[SiR gUt]

you know that how i feel when i play coke. 

[zzboots]

a real concern:

Is it possible for alien goo to be wiped out when virus works on commander?  I believe that is how original version was.



I think EP and Virus work fine now.  Not like minor adjustments will have a big end result impact.  Leave it as is please.
