[dev1072] Abolition of Physical Levels / Attribute Point Revisions Discussion

[Zhinse]

I hope that when allocation comes around in 1.20 that they will give you bonus points to allocate on top of your fixed stats. I like fixed stats for the sake of streamlining the process. When you have full stat allocation like in Diablo1/2, torchlight and other games there are always only a couple of "right answers"(builds) to an infinite number of wrong ones. I don't particularly enjoy going to a dungeon and the leader go "okay now reallocate all your crap to Vit", and doing it. Sure it helped a lot, but if it was fixed then i wouldn't have to do it in the first place.

I certainly hope so, and would like to see the amount of allocatable attribute points grow with level.

If a few attribute points do make a big difference, we don't need to be able to allocate them all or it could quickly become a mess. We just need a few bonus points to add to the pre-determined floor stats that are automatically allocated on level up.

Having one allocatable point every second level gained would be cool, it means at level 30 you have 15 attribute points you can use to customize your character and put emphasis on the role you want to play.
