Battle Formula Question: Magic Number 8?

[Xoo]

We're getting dangerously off topic here. Gonna try to get back on before the Judges reign in the lockage!

I suspect the +8 serves as an increase equivalent to two pieces of gear for the equivalent level. They could have easily picked other numbers, the way they could have made the level cap 40 or 51. They choose a number to balance around, in some games that's 10, others it's 20, some it's 100, and then do their adjustments.

Hey, we're just having some lighthearted fun here! Surely the mods wouldn't..

Why stopping creativity? =D

Well, what I think about the topic... Really, I don't care, but I want to give my impressions on it.

If they have decided +8 for most of the traits that's because of balancement between traits, maybe they couldn't choose 10 because it was too much, or 7 because it was too low.
It all depends on how they've organized the whole attributes balance.

Just needed to pepper the thread a little bit more on-topicness before I go on another 8 tangent.

The neatest thing about 8 is that if you knock 8 to it's side, it becomes infinity, which is where it must draw its power to fight to become the #1.

Hey, which one of you H8ers let this thread die?? :P

Sorry, m8, but it wasn't me. At least we're communic8ing.
