Default Poll: Damage Types

I'm curious about the spread of opinions.

"They would be interesting and beneficial, if designed carefully to have moderate effects."

That's what i voted for. If balanced and well thougth out, the system would/could/will be good.
It's all about balance.

Bah, don't want it !
It'll add eventually +3% gameplay for +20% micromanagement, at the dev cost of 5 patches that could be used for MUCH better improvements !
It'll be mostly a waste of resources, forget about that ..

I think it might be a system that the developers could use to make sure there is balance in the game. But it doesnt need to be something that the players HAVE to work with if they dont want to. It could all be background stuff for the discussion of the addicted people the way the number formulas were for Dom 1.

If different weapons had different attacks, different armors had different defense bonuses, different sizes, mounts, forms (mist, ethereal, etc) all had different things which affected at different levels then the variety might help keep any ONE strategy from getting out of hand.

Of course everything would damage everything, just at slightly different levels. Plus they could insure that each race had a variety of pluses and minuses, but not covering everything.
