  • All of this is still in a 13 second window. The only thing this might prove is that the GF does more burst damage than others. In your log and in other short fights, there are a lot of things that don't get a chance to even do damage, such as shadow of demise; thamaturge DoT damage, and other DoTs; assailant and other…
  • They also can heal, tank or deal damage in addition to the stats provided, augments can't.
  • Look, @thefabricant, I really don't have the time to go through all of your videos and graphs. It just looks to me that the damage is pretty normal for a dps specced character except for spikes related to some insane multiplied buffs/debuffs. The video, so you can confirm what I say. Finally, the Anvil did NOT make the…
  • So, now I can see that you killed demogorgon in 13 seconds. Some people suddenly did millions of dps, probably due to some gamebreaking buffs/debuffs. It died so fast, one member of your group couldn't even get there in time to do a hit. Then at the last second Freya, buffed with at least knight's challenge, the cleric…
  • Sharandar is the most annoying of all the campaigns. The maps are way too small for the amount of people there, the quest objectives are mostly global, meaning they can be stolen by others; there are not enough enemies for the "kill x of them" quests if there are more than 3 or 4 people around; and all those patrols going…
  • Elitism? Calm down please. Level 70 players doing level 60 content is ridicilously easy. The enemy has no chance. I understand some people enjoy the mindless farm, but it would still be farmable with level 70 or 71 enemies. And killsteals wouldn't be as common. Right now in a full instance you can't even get to the enemies…
  • I think this went much better than with other exploits. Usually these run until the next scheduled maintenance.
  • I hope this includes a way for augments to also trigger companion's gift.
  • Some stuns can't be resisted, like from demogorgon. Others are not just a single application. Dragons for example apply several short duration stuns in succession, making it seem like one long stun, but resistances having little effect on it. Also 75% control resist does not mean the effects are 75% shorter, I think they…
  • In these cases it would be smart to do what the tank wants. Just get out a different companion, that's no big deal. I never tank, but I do see how difficult it can be to keep a dragon for example from spinning around when a companion generates too much threat. Tanking is not just about taking damage, it is also about…
  • Whatever, that wasn't the point of the thread anyway, this back and forth is pointless. But you totally showed what you originally asked, why these kind of discussions seem impossible. People come in here with the mindset "I am right". And when someone has a different opinion or viewpoint, they declare them to be dumb,…
  • There is an actual combat log file generated by the game that ACT parses, It's in your game folder and could be uploaded for everyone to parse themselves. That's the raw data I mean. Also you are the one being passive-agressive here. You were asking why a screenshot of ACT wouldn't be "real" data.
  • Because it is basically a photograph of a programm showing the data. As I said, real data would be providing the actual combat log. Then everyone could have a look what really causes the high damage spikes, instead of people that call for nerfs interpreting the data for everyone.
  • That thread was a "nerf thread", these are not allowed, right? So what's the deal? Videos and screenshots of ACT are not real data. The combat logs would be. Telling everyone they are not allowed to disagree with certain "elite" players won't solve anything. The "not providing anything" is totally sbjective. I think a big…
  • How about putting this in the launcher or somewhere else more visible? I was really confused this morning when my professions didn't get the xp I was expecting. I was really looking forward to this, now that leadership is mandatory again, it is a real nightmare to level up.
  • Let me explain this to you then. The more benefits you give to alliances, the more likely it is that they become mandatory for future content. (people already crying the game is to easy with their insane guild boons, so new content might be balanced around that) If they become mandatory it becomes more likey for low level…
  • With an attitude like that I'm sure other guilds will beg to be your vassals! You are so very pleasant. Again proving my point why this community is not right for having a hierarchy of guilds.
  • Actually, I don't want anything. You just assume everyone wants the HAMSTER you high level guilds have. In fact, noone needs dragonflight gear, wards or anything a high level guild gives, except maybe the boons, which you suggested should only be shared on their sh map. Anyway, if you spend blood and sweat playing a video…
  • These things take 7 and 14 days to craft. That's the insanity and why the price will probably shoot up more.
  • And here it starts already with high level guilds wanting to be paid for others to get into their alliance. This is why a hierarchical system is bad in this community. High level guilds shouldn't be the government that gets to collect taxes. I can't imagine anyone would agree to that. Dragonfang gear and masterwork are not…
  • That is such a disgusting analogy. But just to indulge you, let me do it one further. What you suggest is "there are one or two rapists in the world, so lets cut off everyone's genitals to solve that problem".
  • The problem is when weaker guilds grow dependant on stronger guilds. Then some guilds and their members will be degraded to underlings. Who will enjoy that? And why is that even needed? If there was a system where 2 or 3 weaker guilds could from an alliance togheter and get the same boons and structures as one stronger…
  • I get this. But this is not a complicated change to the combat system. It's just a visual effect that already is disable or enabled depending on if you are in the character screen, a mount etc. And it really just now starts to get annoying when boons are just copied from enchants. Next set of boons will put a third visual…
  • I wish weaker guilds wouldn't be dependant on stronger ones. If there was more incentive for equals to band together, that would be great. Nobody will enjoy being a vassal to a stronger guild. I can't test this unfortunately, so that's all the feedback I can give. Would be nice to maybe post the alliance bonuses here,…
  • They "can't do it" is a cop-out. Even if the visual effect is embedded into the function for every enchantment, you could still change those functions to accept values below 1 (i.e. 0) and have it display an empty effect. (because the visual effect strength is still different for different ranks) Or if enchant strength and…
  • The reason is probably that these resources are a different "kind" of item and can't fit into normal inventory slots. Just like they can't fit into your normal inventory, they can't fit into the shared bank slots. I agree that making some things account wide would be great. It can become a nightmare to organize everything…
  • So, maybe this is different in the US, but here in europe even blizzard failed to sue goldsellers, and if a company terminates your contract one-sided (what is called a ban in MMOs), you can sue them should you have paid a subscription fee already. Anyway, I just meant to keep a game a game and not call cheaters…
  • Wow. You need to tone this down a notch I think. While bots certainly are a vialation of the game's rules and I agree that most are damaging to the game, they are not "criminals", nor are they "stealing" anything. These terms are cleary defined and just don't apply here.
  • The logical solution would be to make it a 100% chance, but increase the materials required. Who would like to use 100 greater marks of potency and 100 same level enchants to upgrade that enchant to greater? I just don't see a better way...
  • Guild leaders are pressuring for donations. The higher level a guild is (what cryptic calls "big"), the more you can assume there was pressure involved. I doubt these guild will let lower guilds just join an alliance for free. All this creates is further ingame beaucracy and bigger ingame guild-dictators. Guilds without…
