How to make a good balance?

[mRefaat]

Hello Otlanders,

I was wondering how to make a good balance between the vocations?

My server is kinda custom based on fast atk and magic damage percent.

How vocations should be?
How weapons attack should be for each vocation?
How spells should be?
How healing should be?

Put in your mind the attack of speed feature.

Just like any game developer does.

Release content and monitor.

· If something is way too powerful/game breaking hotfix ASAP
· If something is just a bit over the rest or underperforming - patch it when possible

Repeat.

In any case there will always be a META and best class/combo/whatever. There is no way around that.

I just listen to players

Look at what is measured in league of legends endgame graphs.
damage done/healing done/damage taken etc etc.

Gather that data from players automatically via scripts.
Balance accordingly.

Congratz you're now more competent than cip.

Looks good, but how can this be done?

This isn't a click and run thing, you would need to build the statistics system.

How you would do it?
Use onHealthChange() and onManaChange() (register on both players and monsters).
Use onGainExperience() to get exp numbers.

Put all this into a table, or save to the db or w/e
You would solve these sorts of questions as you're creating the statistics system.

You can use these two scripts for know DPS,

otland.net/threads/dps-script-tfs-1-2.263475
otland.net/threads/training-dummy-with-dps-calculation.263659

It starts from the ground up by knowing your formulas. Tibia is a numbers game, and I made some of the most prestigious and balanced servers not by using global variables, but making sure my numbers were in line at all times.

Mostly trial and error. It all depends on what kind of server you will be hosting.. Try to give each vocation a unique role to fill
