Broken Pants and Boon causing more CC than the CC reduction you were trying to fix.

    Hi everyone! Issue was escalated and investigated. A fix is being worked on the pants to implement a power that limits when it can trigger.

    We will also be reducing the chance of the boon gaining a stack that ends up making it trigger.

    Thanks

    on another note a fully specked Cc build for example cw with entanglement on tab / imprisonment ... can hold you for 5-9 seconds as well ... due to the fact that the devs cc stacking system is flawed in that to get current cc imunity at a levels it was before you need 3 or so stacks ..

    so. as an opening move . at 1 or 2 stacks CC effects work way way stronger (before cc imunity kicks in at 4 stacks ) in pvp then (then they did before when there was a tenacity cc resistance stat )and can be leveraged for even stronger trollyer Cc effects .. and some very creative builds

    this may be the devs intended design that cc effects last longer ( in pvp ) on opening moves then before and are sharply diminished but as of yet we have had no comment on the design goal philosophy of thier new cc stack system and its flaws /merrits

    ya you will die a lot ... but will also kill /troll people in hold .. not used to dying either ..

    xm nice info control duration nothing to do with a cc stack. Also a sw can hold you with that hadar grasp for long time ( so build cc resist again).

    Please fix them in PvP only, the stats are somewhat sub par for their PvE IL (deflection is less useful than some other stats for many characters), so they need a good bonus power to be worth buying (and I've just bought several as they turned up in our alliance, I don't PvP).

    because an item has crummy stats of couple hundred points (less then 1% of a stat )and you dont feel the item is feasible for some (your)pve builds and therefore deserves to be broken in some other way is your justification ...just lol


    no they dont need a good bonus to be worth buying if they are not for your class ... are you going to say the hitpoints are useless on it too : P

    ya some items should work differently in pvp vs pve

    Just delete the sandy pants all together please ! i'm sure the majority of the pvp community will agree.

    give some nice refinement awards for sh seige and gauntilgrym so more queue for these instances as well as domination ;)

    easy :)

    when will this be fixed please ????
  • fuxion#7775 fuxion Member Posts: 311 Arc User
    0.5 max would make sense ... 2 secs is enough to kill any player not even a legendary artifact likie taimat's orb of majesty stunns for this time ...lol .. i mean really !
  • alj0schaalj0scha Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 16 Arc User
    I would really like to know what you Devs were thinking by creating such an item in the first place and what reaction you have expected... introducing cc immunity with permastun-pants. Thats beyond ironie, thats just cynical.

    There is a big difference in having the resources to "test: everything" .. and creating an item by its very nature and inception and description already sounds problematic and broken ... a dev designer created something that would be hard to code and balance and he knew it could cause pvp / pve issues / did not care / created something that is hard to dual code for both / took the hard path

    not to mention the item's text description was translated into multiple languages ... and no hampster questions the 5 second stun mechanics or if its actually working as intended by its own unbalanced sounding description

    even if you are not a dev or even a casual player or know nothing about gaming and only played super mario brothers the description /duration sounds off / out of whack

    before even getting the go ahead to code the item/debug ...
    the description of how the item might work sounds off and someone approved it

    the pve mobs if they could would also complain about the pants

    Pve mob : "what the heck we have been cc immune for many mods no amount of Cc stacking a player can do will effect us cc imune trash mobs and no cc build will be viable " player enters pve with sandy pants now has Strong Cc with no counter
    Pve mob "this is broken as hampster we are supposed to be cc imune to troll players .. "..

    Ooh, respec and some pants and I might actually be interested in PvP.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    I’m for decreasing the duration to 2-3 seconds however I’m not for deleting or removing the pants.

    I get the pants are annoying but like @morenthar said earlier, it’s the same song and dance just a different mod.

    @morenthar 's statement had nothing to do with supporting the mistakes in game design that are made or accepting them; quite the opposite if you read it: he just expresses frustration at not being listened to. The stuns need to be removed completely from pvp, as if the amount of cc is not already enough. I met a couple of TRs tonight wearing them. The moment you try to attack/debuff them you are stunlocked and dead before you realise it. I honestly don't care about whether they stay or go in pve.

    Unless they are going to respect CC resistances and immunities... along with a SERIOUS cooldown... just remove the equip power and replace it with something that isnt going to be abused.

    The "Trolls" in icewind pass are already using them to harass other players and run away, only to come back and do it again.... rinse... repeat.

    And reducing it to a 2-3 second stun is useless without a cooldown... which it does not currently have.

    Especially a certain TR troll from a guild that always seems to be in a hurry around Midnight. I'm sure he is there now loaded up with the new pants and all the drains he can carry ...

    You mean the same Halfling Troll that an entire guild once had standing orders to "Forget winning the match... kill him as many times as you can?"

    Sandy's Assault Pants
    Resolved an issue wherein Sandy's Assault pants caused the condition "stun" instead of the indicated condition "daze."
    Resolved an issue wherein the debuff icon for the effect from Sandy's Assault pants displayed only a black box.
    The triggered effect on the item "Sandy's Assault Pants" now has a 60 second cooldown and its duration has been reduced from 5 to 3 seconds.

    Perfect! Thanks!!!

    if pvp had this much attention when the game was first released it would be huge. Unfortunately the population has died off. Make a new game "neverwinter pvp" or something clever. People will get hyped.
  • deadlycode#3788 deadlycode Member Posts: 32 Arc User
    I have a feeling so many of the bugs in this game have to do with the huge amount and variation of stats there are in game, something is bound to get glitched

    Pants are not entire problem, community is always mixed bag, bad implementation of potentially trolly and skilless mechanics is what makes this an issue.
    On ambush rings: "How would you like PVE if all the mobs were invisible?"

    Do they also give stacks of cc resist? And is the 3-second duration further decreased by existing stacks?
    5x3 seconds = 18 seconds in total of being dazed per minute on node 2 without counting all the rest of the cc spammed. Still sounds like a very undesirable outcome to me.

    And I guess no action has been taken yet on the boon.
