Hi Philip, Very good points. This has been one of the leading issues with Mysteries of the Ancients. Some people say it is too hard on beginner and completely unbeatable on expert. Others say beginner is far too easy. There are so many variables to take in account it is awefully difficult to balance it out so everyone finds it both challenging but not too hard. Case in point the traps. I myself don't believe in having ledges etc around the traps as I think that does make it to easy to know when a chasm, fire pit, lava pit, whatever is coming up. All the same people have been encurraging me to add more indication to know when a trap comes up so they can jump it. As of beta 15 I personally find the traps in MOTA way too easy so they are kind of pointless in my opinion, but people like them easy. One man's difficult is another man's easy.

Re: [Audyssey] game difficulties was Re: best side scroller? -Re:Q9version 1.2.
Hi Muhammed, How would removing the ledges take away the challenge? I would think that would make it more challenging as you would have no way of knowing where to jump from exactly. Which is the reason I didn't add ledges and boundries around fires, spike traps, etc in the first place.

Doesn't the current warning do about the same thing with less speech? Also, you do have to be careful if you're running, or you'll go right over the trap's threshold. --- Shepherds are the best beasts! - Original Message - From: Phil Vlasak p...@pcsgames.net To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2010 11:08 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] game difficulties was Re: best side scroller? -Re:Q9version 1.2. Hi Thomas, If you rounded off the floating point value to a tenth of a meter you would only need to record 9 new sound files. The distance and how accurate the measure is, doesn't matter since you can not vary your step. How about a tip toe hot key that would move you by .1 of a meter and also tell you the distance. So it would say .3, .2, .1, 0 as you step closer to a pit. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
