wow, I must really suck at mechanics. I had no idea there were things like dumb feats and smart feats. Jasede, you and damien make me feel like a grandpa playing counter strike for the first time, along with 40 11 year old children who do nothing but play at internet cafes from the time they arent in school.
Honestly, the mechanics you need to know arent that excessive. They have in the past been taught from player to player, and will if people are willing, continue to be so.
Forte brought me to an arena server almost 6 year ago, so that I could learn what it meant to pvp.
I have build my own small arena areas fighting coa versions of enemies, in order to learn how to survive.
But mostly, i was taught by other players, who were willing to teach me in an in game way.
All OOC info can be taught IG, if you have a bit of imagination, and you are willing. Even the combat window can be taught, if you know how to create a bit of a spin on it. Might just be me, but i can usually guess a persons ac, strength and so on, from the first minute or so of fighting them.
All of this comes down to. You can, as a high lvl, teach others how to survive on coa, by combining your imagination along with your knowledge of the mechanical side.
I know for certain, that I have a book written, or at least 60% finished, on the old Adventuring Guild Forum, that was a paper on how to effeciently combine weapons, tactics, feats and magic in various areas, against the enemies you most often encounter in such areas.
I just never got around to finish it. And if i can do it, everyone can, cause i am not that smart.
