- '''Stormwaltz responds:
- ''I know the Empyreans v. Olthoi and Isparians v. Olthoi has been talked about before...
- '''Rojon asks:
- ''I still don't get it.
- ''What am I missing?
- Maybe in AC2 Olthoi can be designed from the get-go to be the quicksilver engines of destruction they should be. Cardell has spent weeks on a bunch of spreadsheets that quantify how much damage players and creatures should be able to deal and absorb at every level of advancement.
- Since I brought up BZ, it occurs to me that a lot of people still don't know the final secret to killing him. Most of the ideal method was found and used, but I think everyone missed this: Bael'Zharon was very large, and had a wide set of wings. In testing, we found that on average, seven or eight of the projectiles from Flame Wall spells would hit him at once. When we had a group of battlemages down in the pit, they allowed us to take him down relatively quickly.
- ''And I know the rest of Dereth is overrun with billions of olthoi...
- ''Obviously there are a lot more Empyreans than Isparians - they populated a world.
- ''Obviously their magic is MUCH more powerful than ours - I don't need to go into that.
- ''With all the power at their disposal, why did they have to retreat before the Olthoi?
- ''But I can't shake the feeling still that if "we" can beat the olthoi in our own little corner of the world, why can't the Empyreans?
- To be frank, you're missing two things that have nothing to do with lore. You're one of the smarter old-timers in AC, so I'm going to assume you know them already. ^_^
