    @franchisee Theory crafting on this one won't work. Log in. It will be melee archery dominated.

    Rays were nerfed. Transitions were buffed HEAVILY.

    Cobras still work when going mage v mage, but the damage output is too low to handle heavy armor. You will need to use a heavy staff against heavy armor.

    I'm at work till late tonight. But if I read it all right... The balancing factor should be broken with magic at higher encumbrance. Try 30,40,50 magic encumbrance. With a bb,cobra,1.00 scepter and tell me fireball/ray dmg's. I'm assuming Ray's will be casted with a 1.00 scepter to compensate. Allowing player's to use high encumbrance for damage reduction vs mages, allowing head to head melee with destro's and compensating damage reduction from encumbrance with insta cast spells and 1.00 staff Test the damage let me know.

    @franchisee Heavy hybrid ray damage with .94 staff was abysmal. (Like 12-16 dmg)

    The new damage calculation must be effected by encumbrance more than previously.

    Destro/mk with the lesser/greater staff was fairly overpowered, but inline with the cost of the bag when you consider larger scale fights.

    Mage can still effectively kite and stat out a destro, but if the player can land their shots and manage stats, then it's still a W for the destro.

    The fights I had turned into a debuff spam fest. Whoever could land sluggish first and force the panacea chug usually won.

    In an equivalent gear set what's the difference in damage before the patch and post patch? They increased protection's by 25% but protection's have diminishing return's close to around that already. Check to see if they rescaled it completely or just boosted everyone wearing a decent gear bag through the protections formula and making 3 piece fp equiv. to 3 piece dragon and destro's in fp/infernal into full dragon.

    I immediately stopped playing after they proposed these changes over a week ago. Same goes for 90% of Wolfed Down.

    Aren’t you just the cayutest wittew goi.

    Count everyone who’s crying in this thread. Without looking I’m guessing less than 10 (my whole clans quitting waaaah)

    I’d be willing to bet these changes will pique more than 10 people’s interest to come back.


    Also food for thought, when my kids throw a tantrum because I do something in their best interest that they don’t like, they eventually get over it. So will you. Be the proud little peacock I know you can be! Show those feathers!


    Edit: I never once asked for buffs to be removed this hurts me exponentially more as I don’t have the time to play you do and my stats aren’t maxed or even close. I never asked actually for any of these changes but you know what, I’ll still play and I’ll still be happy because beating people in a video game does not give me validation. I’d rather lose and have fun than win and stress out about dumb shit.

    Obligatory shit talk: didn’t I see you get dumpstered by Landon in one of his videos?

    the changes are broken, and barely thought through before implementing, not that you'd know because you weren't on the PTS, and probably haven't logged into live in ages either. Anyone rocking heavy armor is absolutely unkillable in any reasonable time frame.

    Been logged in plenty in the last few weeks, sorry I don’t have the time to play that you do.

    Also what the fuck does your post have to do with me responding to him saying that they listen to me and abso.


    Never asked for these changes bud, please please please for your own health and sanity stop dick riding.



    Edit : if they are broke. Or not. It will still spark people’s interest. ANY CHANGE will make people come.

    It's almost like they should have implemented all the combat changes at once after testing them all on ptr for an extened period. If only someone would have said this from the start

    and what does that have to do with you quoting me for the last fucking time so you can understand. I DID NOT ASK FOR THESE CHANGES.

    that being said SOMETHING needed to be changed and they are starting. Let it play out and dont act like you're going to fucking quit or it will kill the game. it wont.
    you will still be here and so will all of us who post actively on these forums because we are passionate about this game. Let them try new stuff even if they have to revert or change it again.

    this next part
    pay close attention to.


    I AGREE THIS SHOULD HAVE STAYED ON THE PTS MUCH LONGER.
    I DONT AGREE WITH SOME OR MANY OF THE CHANGES.
    I DID NOT PERSONALLY AS OF NOW GET A CHANCE TO TEST ON PTS BECAUSE I HAVE HAD LIMITED TIME AND WANTED TO PLAY LIVE SINCE I ASSUMED IT WOULD BE ON PTS A LOT LONGER .
    JUST FROM READING SOME OF YOU GUYS I KNOW AND TRUST THEIR OPINION ON THE MATTER, IM SURE I WONT BE HAPPY WHEN I DO GET TO TRY IT.



    they still need to change SOMETHING.
    this is a start.

    maybe they will fuck it up so much MAGIC will happen and they will find something even more amazing. they can always change back if nothing works guys AND WE WILL STILL BE HERE.

    If they left it on the PTR for longer would it have mattered - no one even played or left feedback really aside from a dozen or less

    Please stay on topic and avoid attacking one another, we want your feedback on the patch and would prefer to not have to moderate the thread.
