From what I understood, the answer was "no, not anytime soon, if at all"

Oks, sorry, i cant disclousure this, but trust me, if what i talked with some company's staff is true, we will have a REAL balance PvP short after mod9.

Hmm... Should people watch their spending on broken schtuff???

So no reason to even play until then, and then approach it dubiously?

EoA may not be at the top of the heap. Gutbusters and Black Lotus do not even need to use broken toys.​​

Hahahhaha thx for making me laugh! They use drains r2 and ambush rings. (most of them) Last night we ran into 2DC 1 OP + 1 GWF and 1 TR from blackie lotus, rings and drains is their signum. And yes this happens all the time.

premade vs premade?
and nothing like a codex?
I do see this behavior by everyone, the moment it get´s close in a match some start slotting ambush+drains so...gg

revovlerjesus1

Imo only trash and bad players use drains, i refuse to even slot em when its used against me. Know some ppl who did and completly destroyed gutbusters pm using em. Fight fire with fire i guess.

+1 PvP needs attention and dev love.
More and more players would pvp if the pvp was cleaned up and fixed.

i am pretty sure they would, since it is the only endcontent this game has, and can be much fun

o_O. Now you're just putting words in our mouths. We clearly said, yes, we're working on it for some time in 2016.

@revovlerjesus1 You were there. You won something.

Instead, most seem to prefer to come here to cry about Drains because their guild doesn't have them yet. Well guess what? At progressing SH, Gutbusters Brigade is currently the best at it. We make a ton of sacrifices to get where we want to quickly. We enjoy the fruits of our labor.


P.S. One more thing. The amount of AD we have donated to the cause would EASILY have my main and the mains of every other GB nearly maxed out. That's one fracking huge sacrifice we've made. I could be on to outfitting some alts right now. We did it for the good of the group. We are rewarded because of it. Go ahead and hate us for being the best run guild in the game.

This is the kind of thing I was talking about in another thread where someone wanted something nerfed. Some people, guilds etc, make a huge sacrifice in order to get what they have. Others want to take it away. It's like socialism, where everyone is suppose to be equal so you take away what others worked hard to get.

I am in a pretty big guild and in order to get the best of what Strongholds have to offer, you have to give alot and work hard for it. I used to be a loner in this game until I realized that you will not make it on your own, so I made the changes that needed to be made and eventually found a guild that met my goals. At this point I can say that Guilds and Strongholds are probably one of the best parts of this game.

Thats so not good enough. We have been asking for balance over and over again during whole 2015 and what do we get? Rings and drains that unbalances the game even more. You clearly have no idea what to do with PvP. We been playing the same two domination maps for what, 3 years now? Even crucial problems like Elven Battle takes months to fix. Or even noticed at all.

"Its not on our radar yet"... Yeah thats what we got from the stream from you about the perma stealth giving ring to CW etc. How many threads about it do you need before it gets on your radar? You have no idea what we, PvP players want.

Oh btw, I spent 1.9m AD on the new companion and it does 1-2% of my total damage in PvE. GG for deceive me yet again. I dont get how worthless items finds their way into lockboxes that costs people so much AD to open. Sure the Owlbear cub is cute, but not cute enough to be worth that much AD.

My apologies then. I must have committed some sort of confirmation bias (I admit I can be terrible about that but am working on it). I bet I overvalued the need for a fix and when the answer didn't sound as dire as I thought that I then didn't give it the weight it warranted.

Can you guys just stop working on new content for 1 mod and spend time fixing the old content? I'd say 90% of all the enchants in the game weapon/armor are unused. In PVE if you include the guys who have like r3's in their slots then it is more... in pvp... it is a LOT LOT LOT more than 90% using the same.

You guys love reusing maps for almost every new module. Like the chapter 1-9 quest was rips of every old dungeon. Why not make some new pvp maps like that? PVE makes games shiny and fun. PVP is what gets on twitch and gets thousands and thousands of people playing.

Every single class has people who could give you guys quick fixes to their class to immensely improve the game. Why don't you just listen to them. Baby step it? SURE why not. We could even use that crazy PTR thing that is completely looked upon as a free respec/lag free place to 1v1 in dwarven valley (sometimes)

- Sure we need our dungeons back. But that is still old content lol. Yeah, you added a buncha those spawn portals you didn't want in foundries, but reuse some of that old content for pvp. Heck, maybe even make a slayer mode instead of 1 mode.... domination.... over... and over... and over again lol.

- Wild example. Frostburn.... if its cooldown wasn't 467 years, it'd be awesome. Same goes for a lot of enchants. Sure, you can't fix the OP b/c the majority of people who played before the OP quit, and the remaining have no idea how to do content w/out one. But PEOPLE LEARN.!!! Imagine going into a dungeon and dying over and over... that is exactly what CN was like when it first came out. People don't leave when things are hard.... they leave when it is so easy and so mind numbingly grindy that is just daily daily daily daily daily daily daily.... okay...

I feel better. Strum..... plz slap some sense into them. The day pvp has 1 match of domination going (I'm sure it has lately) - is the day your game starts to lose massive amounts of people BnS, or BDO.... it is coming. Saying you'll do it before 2046 isn't good enough guys. Communicate!

@morenthar

I dont talk about you when u soloqued.
We 4-man qued lst week ish, ran into full GB with drains and elixirs to the teeth from start.
After getting beat to the ground at start (cus no daily no block no dodge..) 3 of my teammates swapped to drains aswell, guess they didnt expect that and looked imo silly as they died very fast by tasting its own medicine.
I have a very very hard time seeing ANYONE from absolute using drains, and if they are they are i feel sry for em tbh, cus it removes all logic from the game (esp the stamina drain)

No doubt u worked hard for your GH, but as u are saying u are mainly a PVE guild, and we are not. Doing repetable dailys over and over and over is not what i call fun in a game so we are slacking a bit on that part. I do like that GB is running a lot of Domination latly, only wish they passed on the drains. Sure we can handle it by counters it with drains too, but i am thinking about pugs in general that dsnt have them. This only drives players away even more from pvp imo. And ambush ring, dont get me started on that lol.

Enough ranting and back to subject, @strumslinger thx yeah i won an owlbear i think
But for the love of god, pls do something about the Paladin daily in pvp, the bubbleboy is so unfun for anyone playing!
