Re: Ritual bonus from magic sites
Terrel, it's only bad because you think of it like this:
extra gems = [Gems spent - (Cost x (1 - 0.2))] x 1.2
In this case, every gem you spend you are suppose to get 20% as bonus. However, if you think of it as this:
extra gems = [Gems Spent - (Cost x (1 - 0.2))]
Then all you are losing is 20% of the original cost of the spell, which is pretty much nothing in the final stages of the game, as you have pointed out, since extra gems is what really determine if you get the slot (or dispel).
Now, you might argue that a site is SUPPOSE to give that advantage, but then I would have to disagree. I mean, is a site really suppose to give you 200+ free gems (if you are into the thousands for that slot)? Wouldn't that make the site plain overpowered?
So if you're saying we should fix it and add that 20% to the free gems, then I have to respectfully disagree (due to insane imbalances). But if you're saying we should fix it so that it discounts properly, then I agree, but as I pointed out earlier, it's really not THAT bad of a problem.
