tags: [other game mechanics aspects] - look. for anyone who played lineage ii, a higher grade always was a reason to level up and save up, too. and, you know, a higher grade can decrease the damage... wait! can it? - yeah. - you sure? - i am. - why not just comparing them? you take one, i take another. - deal, my dwarfy elder brother. purpose: to find out if an armor grade affects the inflicted damage. experiment: we used an eternal set (heavy armor, attack) and found an enchanted seraph set (heavy armor) with the equal p. defense value. tyrr titan (lvl. 99) put these sets on during the experiment, while othell adventurer (lvl. 99) and sigel hell knight (lvl. 99) attacked him. first, othell adventurer used an amaranthine shaper and a specter shaper. in the second test sigel hell knight attacked the opponent with an amaranthine cutter and a specter cutter . all characters didn't have any additional equipment and buffs, and we disabled damage variation with a special gm command. {tr}weaponr99 setr95 set{tr}r99 dagger9494{tr}r95 dagger8888{tr}r99 sword9595{tr}r95 sword8888{/tr}{/tr}{/tr}{/tr}{/tr} conclusion: r95-grade weapons inflict the same damage both to the r99 and r95 armor sets. the same is for damage fromr99 weapons which is the same for both eternal and seraph sets. grade has no influence at all on the inflicted damage.
im sorry to tell u but we kinda know that allready, what we didnt know is the dmg penalty in lvl's, how much a char 95,96,97,98,99 hit in oponent of lvl 99, and viceversa.
there is dmg penalty cause of difference in lvls. they tried it in korea. imagine it can be 30%. test was old btw.
well, gms are doing experiements, by picking one of those https://4gameforum.com/showthread.php?t=16694 if there is one, i suppose they ll make it. so, go and request it
