ARENA: Critique From: equils@phakt.usc.edu (The Equilizer) Date: Fri, 11 Feb 1994 06:04:05 +0000 I think this game SUCKS! I began with what I thought would be very creative warriors and they turned out to do very bad. I have seen many discrepancies in the way the program runs. I've seen a 1 str(epee) do more damage than a 8 str (2-handed sword) . The sword was doing inconsequential strikes. The epee was doing tramendous blows. Also I definitely think that warriors learn too slowly. Lets get real! One stat raise per ten fights just doesn't make for an interesting game. And wouldn't it be even marginally better if the remaining warriors that did not post succesful challenges, be matched up with one another. Ingenious! Also armor SUCKS! If anyone wears it they collapse prematurely. I had a 4 str 4 con 4 stmna wearing woven cord (tactic barbarian 4 0) and I collapsed in one minute. Another warrior with 2 str 5 con 5 stamina wearing brigandine (tactic parry 0 4) was to tired to do much of anything the whole fight but stand there. I know that what you are saying is "If you don't like it then don't play it." Well what I'm upset about is I spent alot of time on this game before the problems started to surface and I just want to let others know of this waste of time PBEM.
