Talk:Attribute point

From Guild Wars Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

It is really not right that these attribute quests are restricted to characters from the same campaign when Ascension is not. GW suffers enough with main storyline restrictions.

Well if they weren't for same campaign only, people could get over 200 attribute points, giving an advantage over players with only one campaign Mcdertr 19:09, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
What he means is that you could get your extra 30 points in any campaign, but you couldn't get more than 200 total. -- Alaris_sig Alaris 19:23, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Limit

Why is the attribute cap set at 12? If I get to level 20 you should be able to put all your 200 points into (say) blood magic and get to level 18 or something. I know people will say "oooh that will unbalance the game" but how? If everyone can do it. Admittedly it will create some unbalance builds, but with a well organised group build, you could compensate for the weaknesses of a 1 attribute build such as this.

I think it's less of a balance problem (as you said, the game could be balanced for it), and far more a question of enabling or encouraging fun gameplay. At one extreme, you could put all your attribute points in a single skill. Then the game, for many, will turn into spamming that single skill, and the other 7 slots will be fairly useless. The same happens to a lesser degree with attribute lines. You can now max 2 with few points in a third, or have 3 fairly strong but not maxed. That encourages you to mix & match skills from 2-3 attribute lines, one of which is generally the primary. So you end up with more versatily or at least more complexity in your build. -- Alaris_sig Alaris 15:08, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
