10k MP looks ridiculous on low level

[Millybonk]

10k MP vs. 417 HP on the screenshots show the ridiculous disparity between those two numbers.
It's almost as if someone was too lazy/couldn't be bothered with an MP pool + MP costs based on your current level, and instead went with fixed variables for both.

We had 1000 TP in the past, despite having HP either in the low 100s or as high as 70k. Never made me so much as raise an eyebrow.

well... 10000MP -> 100.00%MP if you want to add 2 more characters to the display.

It's almost as if the old mp pool and the new mp pool are pretty much the same thing, except now it's a static number instead of a varying one. Mp expenditure was still a % of your max mp per cast.


Also, you say they couldn't be bothered.... But you started playing when that was how it worked, literally.

This seems like an odd nitpick to me, even coming from you.

You do know it is not 10k but 100.00%. So, it is how much of your total mp in percentage you have left.

Easier to balance MP costs when there's a fixed cap per level than have it change per level and scale up. Don't call it laziness, that just makes you look sour. (Not that this isn't the first time you've done it... )

What.

That's how it was before.

It's no different than it has always been. Only difference is they gave us a static, round number which provided easier tuning for the developers and gives us a nice number to use.

Guess this is what happens when there's a good expansion launch. People need to go out of their way to find something to be annoyed by.

Normally I would agree. But 10,000 does make the display look, awkward. Personally I think they could have made the display 500mp. Then Fire would cost 40mp instead of 800. Hell they could tone it down further to 100mp and still make it work. The reason they cut it to 10,000 is because it is quite easy to balance MP costs with larger numbers as adjusting 5mp to 6mp is a 20% increase, but 500 to 505 is 1%. But I believe they just went a bit far.

We use the numbers now only in theory crafting. But in combat we're just looking at how full or empty the MP bar is since its not simple to associate with a 4-5 digit number being interacting with by 3-4 digit numbers.
