Re: Could the Wizard receive any buff?

We have given them 10,000 suggestions and they have tried / implemented exactly 0% of them =/. I'm not even a wizard player and I still want to help them. Thauma design is a disaster right now.

Smolder mag should be stackable to 250 mag/second (with 5 stacks) or something. Make it interesting. Fanning the Flames should be the single target encounter that increases smolder DoT, while fireball remains AoE (and give it 550 mag / reduce cooldown).

Re: I don't appreciate being blatantly lied to

I wish instead of nerfing characters and their stats, they boosted them with this new system, and then increased boss difficulty to extend the length of the matches, instead of making us weaker to extend the time. That way we would be having fun, pumping out huge numbers, and still doing something very challenging and meaningful to unlock the higher rewards they are engineering.

Re: Official - Item/Item Sets to adjust

The Tier 3 Hunt Armor Bone Devil's Ribcage has a bug. If you proc the armor bonus with dealing damage or by healing someone else it gives 2.5% crit and crit severity like it is written on tooltip, but if you proc it with healing yourself, it gives 2.5% power. I think when this bonus was getting reworked, the healing part was missed.

Also about this armor, I think putting 25% percentage stat rating on a single piece is too much. Other hunt items are reworked into giving 10% crit chance(Goristro Helmet), 7.5% accuracy(Whisper Hood) and 7% combat advantage(Skyblazer Helmet). Yes these items should retain their values, but 25% from 1 item is just way too much. Most classes are able to cap 4 offensive stats to 90% and other one over 70, 80% already. And one of the main purpose of these changes was to make sure not all stats are cappable. This armor makes it so easy to cap crit and crit sev. I think this armor should be reworked again into one of the following:

-Either reduce the amount of bonus, make it 1% crit and 1% crit sev per stat, so it gives 10% total, would be in line with other hunt items.

or

-Remove either crit or crit sev from the bonus. Make it single stat, either 10% or 12.5% total giving only crit or crit sev. But since Goristro Helmet is already giving crit, I would prefer this armor giving only crit sev.

Now since we are talking about crit sev, we all know its really easy to cap crit sev at this moment. Its because of 2 potions that are giving 17.5% crit sev totally. These potions are not fitting the current stat system, and they need a rework on their bonuses. With these potions and this armor, we can easily cap crit sev to 90% without investing anything on crit sev specifically. And for classes with crit sev forte its even worse, because they get so much overcapped crit sev they can not even reduce. Leaving the bonuses of the potions:

Bonuses of potions from Vault of Piety(The ones we buy with Ardent Favors by invoking):

Wild Storm Elixir: 400 Critical Strike and 10% Critical Severity
Foehammer's Favor Elixir: 400 Deflection and 10% Deflect Severity
Sunlord's Gift Elixir: 400 Accuracy and 5% AP over 20 seconds
Elixir of Corellon's Blood: 400 Power and 5*80 Power stacks
Elixir of Steadfast Devotion: 400 Defense and 400 Awareness

and 1 potion craftable from professions:
Superior Flask of Potency: 400(440 on +1 version) Power, Critical Strike, Accuracy and 7.5% Crit Sev.

Re: Official - Item/Item Sets to adjust

I coldnt find a mention of Mount Collars in this thread, but I believe they need to be looked at.

In current state, having mythic collars only possible for the richest of the richest. Upgrading 5 collars from epic to mythic quality I estimate to cost about 75.000.000 if buying materials from AH, farming for the needed materials is 100% unrealistic.

In the new system, this upgrade will give the players:
2000 item level =
20k HP (+CON bonus) + 240 dmg for DPS
24k HP (+CON bonus) + 200 dmg for tank

This is in addition to the actual effects (+5% at-will/encounter +5% healing in/out +10% glory and so on).
Some of the current effects are acually worth using (+% healing, +% dmg, +% stam/ap gain), where others are 100% useless. I find it hard to believe that a player that can afford spending 75.000.000 is in dire need of +10% rough astral diamonds.

I would love to see some of the bonuses boosted to match actual price/time spent farming for them and some bonuses replaced with stats that are actually needed. Collars would be a great source for Forte, Deflect Severity and -% damage taken for example.

Re: Preview Patch Notes: NW.125.20210105a.4

Come on devs give the Pally tanks a bone. first you change our forte bonus from awareness to deflect severity. Now you have nerfed all the t3 hunt gear so they don't give power. Please don't forget that not everyone plays dps,

Re: Could the Wizard receive any buff?

My last hope was this "new Mod" , But , Finish !
Many "Cw" friends such as (YaYa, Totoro, DemonCw, Lucanus) went to play other games, well I will also be the next one!
A class where it is full of bugs that makes it bad, what they did and what they are doing with Cw is absurd!

Re: Official - Item/Item Sets to adjust

At this point kind of sick of the whole thing, with the devs wanting to nerf lionheart instead of bringing Celestial set up, I'd rather they just introduce a new bis set attainable in the newest dungeon. Stop with the trials for bis weapon sets, make trials the place you go for best chances at good rewards/things to sell. The reason everyone wants lionheart/celestial set to stay top is due to how frustrating it is to learn the trial, get enough people to run the trial, hope that you don't have that one guy who runs the wrong way killing the entire party, the extreme cost there can be to getting geared properly for it..just make trials lucrative with higher chances for leg mounts, exclusive skins for people to sell and so on, then we can be done with this whole thing.

Re: Official - Combat Changes - Bugs/Issues with Player Powers

Wizard - Thaumaturge

Smolder/Rimefire hasn't been scaled. Its ticks still have a magnitude of 20. Smolder already has ridiculous dps (about 4% of total), on preview it's 1-2%.

The nonsense revision of Chilling Advantage and Directed Flames feats are still there.

Making Fireball single target on mastery is a bad idea. And the cast time is too long.

Fanning the flame is far too weak. It has a great design but it's useless ingame, since bosses rarely spawn adds. It should be the single target encounter with the highest dps (and not Fireball), considering it doesn't proc Shatter Strike on cc imune targets.

This would help also. Smolder is currently way too low. It should be increased to 50 magnitude per second, able to stack up to maximum of 5 times for 250 magnitude per second. Smolder is supposed to be this paragons main mechanic, and it should function as such. Fanning the Flames could be increased to 450 magnitude and increase smolder damage on single target or something by some %.

Possible Game Improvements.

This is a list of items that as a community we have put together. I have passed this along and was informed that I should place this in the forums for the rest of the community to see. You will in fact see a lot of terms like “we”, “our” and etc because this was a group effort. At this point no one is looking for recognition of their ideas, just they want to see the game grow and do better.

We cannot expect the items listed to all be implemented nor guaranteed to be placed in the game. There are some ideas that are already known about and may be a work in progress already. We just never know. During all this we all need to remember that it takes time to implement, to discuss and work on the ideas. This doesn't happen overnight.

There have been many CDPs over the past year and as I am sure the Devs appreciate the feedback and information we need to keep giving information and things that can improve the game we all love and want to see succeed.

Now for the purpose of this post:

Update Wonderous Bazaar remove unused/old content items, add new stuff for AD sinks. Ideas: Reroll tokens. Cloaks from old CLASS SPECIFIC PACKS.
Rotate event items/overloads/consumables from WB prior to events. CTA/Hell Pit/Siege of NW/ Harvester of Souls/Tales Books/Pages
AD SINKS:
Limited Fashion Items
OLD/NEW Transmutes & Zen market transmutes from old packs.
Re-roll tokens. VIP 12 = 3,750
Event Items such as Hell pit Overloads.
Idea 1: AD bought with ZEN becomes ZEN-X which can only be used to buy account WIDE or BOUND items.
Idea 2: Zen can now be traded for ZEN-X which can be used to buy account wide or bound items. 2 Zen = 1 ZENX
Idea 3: Tax the ZEN exchange. OR (to be added)
Remove guild marks from Overloads/foods and make them pay with AD also. Keep Masterwork scrolls to GM.
AD Bounty system: Pay AD for a bounty, 100K ad for a bounty (HARD DIFFICULTY) = BETTER REWARDS ACCOUNT BOUND REWARDS (COALS ETC)
Run a Charity Stream where people can pay AD into a "pot" and the "pot" would be donated to charity in the terms of $/£ (AD SINK)
Remove Legendary Dragon Keys from Zen market, add them to wonderous bazaar for around 37,500 AD which is the price of 1 single key, formula 250/5*750=37,500
Ad drain / Guild hall idea increase the guild hall level to level 25-30 and rework how stronghold vouchers work Introduce stronghold vouchers +1 ( make them drop in lockboxes alongside normal vouchers make +1 a way lower drop rate then normal vouchers. Making the +1 vouchers obtainable through a vendor in the stronghold for either Guild marks Or Astral Diamonds) would also mean new boons/higher boons or more boon plots.
Ad drain add stones of health blue/green to the bazaar make them bound to account obviously
Zen drain maybe introduce a season pass into the game that has reward tokens potions rough ad exclusive mounts to the season pass exclusive cosmetics to the season pass possibly add a mythic mount and make the season pass the only way in the game to obtain that mount (all items are bound)
Zen drain/ad drain make enchanted key sellable on the auction house not only will you drain zen from people buying keys out of the game you’ll drain 10% ad out from every sale someone makes by posting the keys on the auction house (daily keys still BTA unsellable)
Add vip to bazaar but maybe only add a 12 month version that you can ONLY get from the bazaar. Price is slightly higher than zen market so 7,650M for 2x 6months in Zen, so make it around 9M AD.
More Minigames. capture the flag etc. in SH or a larger PvP map. Would have to be a balanced experience for everyone. (level 1/80 characters with no mounts/comps) just basic weapons, add some transmutes into its own custom shop.
Private Instances. For guilds/alliances/friends to allow people to host events such as T3 lures or fashion contests etc etc.
Have a new decent/BiS equip bonus weapon set grindable the same as SOMI/STK weapons where you had to get components from HEs and run the new trial(m/sva) for marks or upgrade components to make the weapons, would add more encouragement to farm HE's in that area to make AD also for newer players. can also add decent unsellable BTA/BTC rings for tanks/healers/dps in the dungeon and then have higher drop chance to come from the trial etc. (2/3 chests at the end with grindable keys like SKT)
Some way to obtain old artifacts such as apocalypse dagger or blood raven crystal skull, possibly in trade bar store/WB
Cross Platform; No Trading inside of dungeons.
Bring fishing back with new rewards/RP.
Make RP transferable via bank between alts same as comp tokens/mount tokens/trade bars.
Campaign Keys more than 1 per day; Ideas for this.
Buying more than 2 per day? maybe per 24hours? or making them account bound.
Remove currency cost. Key would be free, 24-hour cooldown, PER CHARACTER. (account bound keys)
Upping the number of re-rolls on VIP per diem. 3 is too little, under 1 chest per day, maybe 5-10?
Increase RAD rewards (bribes) for healers and tanks for RTQ/REDQ.
A third paragon path for some/all characters.
Updated/better skill nodes.
Since CRR* is coming, maybe time to add R15 wep/arm enchants. or R16/s also adds new AD sinks. (new mops) (new stones) can be gotten from THE new dungeon?
adding more ways for players to make/get bags/bag space maybe inside WB OR Professions when professions 3.0 gets announced *WINK* *WINK*
add transmutes to random chests throughout the dungeons so players can explore dungeons more than just running through them. (dungeon specific transmutes)
Add Raid frames into the game. So you can see all people in raid's HP etc. and can drag people from one group to another, instead of kick reinvite.
re-visit old set/armors from old areas making them upgradeable to current Item level requirements, via AD/Trials/Dungeons. like Carvings/Ampoules from CODG.
Updating class artifacts most of them are kind of useless. The only good ones we know of are Sigils (DC,Pala,Barb) are the only good ones. maybe having class artifacts 2.0(level 80) where you can upgrade your old ones to new ones via quests?
Giving everyone involved in a hunt favour, would increase the amount of people who stick around for lures if there is a purpose instead of the main group only getting favour.
making enchants easier slotted moving around playing on alts can be annoying when having to click on multiple slots etc. etc.
Add Unique variations of weap/arm enchants (holy vorp, flower bark) and make them transmutable. Can fall into an AD sink via WB
add cool/rare transmutes to chests in old zones. So players can actually explore the old zones and have fun.
Re-do the “how enchanting quest” where you are given shards of a certain type of your choosing and give the player 1 time per account a guaranteed rank 8 (BTA) any enchant, same with armour give them a BTA one (via coal ward reward).
Rework guild banks, very old outdated my personal idea is to add a new guild category to donate to called “treasury” where once you level it up, you upgrade the banks slots. Would sink or you could make it to still require AD to upgrade.
Add Buyable & MORE slots for Personal Shared bank to WB too much stuff on zen market.
New “astral” lockboxes but add more trade bars. Maybe do something like make the items from the box BTA but tradebar items are not bound and still sellable?
New Healer Gear/Set bonuses. More items that AREN’T BOONS/COMPS with OGH./ MORE VARIETY for support classes. Tiamat set BiS for healers???? Make a new one?
Make it easier to gear tanks/healers so there is more incentive to actually play them atm if you want to be a good healer you have to fork out over 700K for tiamat orb for set for 5% OGH? don’t change stats just make it easier to gear them, add more gear that helps them meet caps.
PVP SUGGESTIONS;
PvP “rebalancing” Remove alts from PvP by making it so only 1 account can get the rewards from the PvP season.
Big pvp changes requires a fair amount of dev work:
Give everyone a PvP loadout, automatically switched too in the pvp queue.
In pvp loadout can only use PvP a small selection of pvp gear.
Basic armor sets with different equip bonuses of your choice and no enchantment slots, only armor enchantments like barkshield etc... Basic weapons sets with different set bonuses and only a weapon enchantment slot..
1 Primary artifact which is automatically set to mythic rank (1 min cooldown). These primary artifacts only have a small selection, maybe 10 different ones you can choose from and they all do simple things like break free of stun or self heal etc, no over the top abilities.
Secondary artifacts could be the bulk of our stats so we have some build customisation and not just carbon copies of each other, they could make a choice of like 30 different secondary artifacts which all have different stats. The total value of each artifact would be 40k stats, E.g Berserker artifact gives 20k power and 20k crit strike and executioner artifact gives 20k crit strike and 20k crit sev. and you could pick 3 of these secondary artifacts to give you a good ratio of stats to your liking.
No companions/mounts/insignia enabled on pvp loadout
Limit rewards to 1 char per account.
Try making everyone the same item level in pvp say 40k item level, Only issue I could see with this is older gear with very good bonuses becoming overpowered, like demogorgon rings and stuff but this would make pvp playable for fresh level 80's as in the current state of pvp they get one shot and deal basically 0 dmg.

CRR* Combat Ratings Rework.

I just want to thank the community for putting forward these ideas, this is list wouldn't have been possible otherwise, I understand this is alot of ideas and I appreciate you reading until the end.

Re: Official - Combat Changes - Boons

Could you make a QoL improvement to Stronghold boons which allows you to deselect them? Or a way of "resetting" them so none of them is selected.

Thanks a lot in advance.
