Petition: kicking NW-PR (in General)

<novice> I'm almost glad the NW-PR makes my SoD useless for NCB chars
* novice kicks NW-PR
* deifeln7 kicks NW-PR
* TheHatchetman kicks NW-PR
* deifeln8 kicks NW-PR

If you hate being punished for having good items join the club and give the net worth to power rating linkage a kick in the shins!

* Shade is unaffected by NW-PR so does not kick

*Does a few Kicking Kata Routines on the NW-PR Linkages*

While I am against the NW-PR thing, it will never be removed because, from a Mage Player Perspective, this is what "keeps tanks balanced"...

*tries to find some pants....*

* Jiraiya kicks NW-PR

But this is the only advantage us zero minion users have!

Thats what enc is for lol... Yes kick it

Exactly lost!

Why should someone with items get lower rewards than someone with the same mpr and no items? Encumbrance already limits putting massive weapons on small chars, why do we need all that PR?

Because it still represents how strong your team is. But I think that maybe PR should be changed so that it is represented by the proportion of your enc that you use. Except for the PR granted by a tattoo which should remain as is. That is one way to change it.

Just had a thought... Without NW-PR, it would be possible to maintain 100% challenge bonus all the way up until 6/20, at which point it would slowly start falling off. Almost a "rolling bonus" of sorts... Of course, N*B would have to be scaled back a good bit. But this way, even a 1MPR non-bonused char can make it to the top with enough time and dedication

Though with scores well above the top MPR, it really would act as more of a "free ride" to the top after awhile seeing as everbody in CB would be getting challenge bonus...

PR isn't fully accurate anyway, seeing as how the weapon X doesn't affect PR at all, making it very easy for all the tanks with massive amounts of weapon X to get decent rewards....

And making my +200 weapon a laughable choice until I'm within the comfort and safety of 6/20 with all of my potential challenge bonus dried up...

If you do that then also kill 6/20 exemption..

:) if everyone grows at the same rate how will it change the 6/20 significantly?

*me kicks NW-PR

why not work like for tattoes and limit the 'effect' of the items to the NW allowance instead of applying penalties for encumbrance

That is a very interesting idea there Conan *Adds in a few more kicks*

*Neo Japan kicks Katana's as a Drop Item

Whats the point in having PR without this link?

Henk: As a Nicety.

Honestly PR with the NW Link really doesn't make all that much sense to be honest. Having a decent bonus for fighting up is a hard thing to do no matter what PR you are, except that sweet spot in the NCB/NUB, so why have it at all? What for that little Sweetspot in the NCB/NUB, I hardly think all of this PR-NW Linkage is worth a few weeks of a 100% bonus at best.

Re-create CB1, IMO.

/kick

I agree with Cube.

Only if you remove the top exemption.

I agree kick it....I have to remove certain items when I am fighting to have a better Challenge bonus for my fightlist...zzzzz

I have thought the PR added by pth was a bit much for the last year.

me flykick NW-PR.

It becomes too complicated when it comes to weapons. You'd need a system that could choose how much x and pth, which wouldn't be very elegant.

Hi-Yaa! or however you say that kicking sound thing.

> If you hate being punished for having good items join the club

/me joins the club

I don't like the "punishment" feeling, but the whole point of PR is to represent reasonably accurately how powerful your character is. I don't see how to do that without a NW link.

A Badge would do just fine, you hit 1Mil, 10Mil,100Mil...etc. etc. you get a Badge there is your representation.......

Badges? We don't need no sticking badges!!!

But Zenai, your PR adjusts with your untraining (if you do) and a badge wouldn't do that, unless of course you made it disappear.

Good eye and I'm sure that if something like this were instituted Jon would have something like that in place :P
