You mean posts like this one:
-
This demonstrates what I mean: Frankly, nothing short of a roll back will be good enough, so it wouldn't matter what they said short of this, it would just open them up to more and more criticism, and if they've been around the industry long enough, they know what's waiting down that road. BioWare devs had death threats…

I think you're preaching to the choir about some of the cooldowns, I've already stated that I believe they could be reduced by about 15ish% and still accomplish what I think they were aiming for. I also pointed out a disparity in the cooldowns for different versions of the same skill, at least on Ranger, where changing the…

Sorry, totally missed this question. I play rogue, ranger and I'm messing around with Warlock, can't say I'm really playing it, since it's only 16 or so. My main is a 75 rogue that was 60 when I came back. I have two of each, rogue and ranger, one of each focusing on melee, and the other focusing on ranged.
-
Except that my post is in response to a post that did exactly that, compare ESO to here? It's my own experience that people love to do this kind of thing hoping that nobody else already plays the comparison games. However, to answer your question, the same 10 people are flooding PE now that were on day 1. The difference is…

I think they could reduce the cooldowns on some of these skills by about 15% and be fine. The nice thing here is that the skill limitation isn't due to being a console port, nor was it designed with consoles in mind, it was done to attempt to balance the combat, instead of just mashing 1 through = in every fight. The at…

True, but sometimes it is, and some of the "evidence" I've seen for how bad this update is clearly shows someone that didn't bother to move. Worse, there were clear tells: A large path of red, showing where the attack was going, and a big red circle, but they just kept wailing away. Simple explanation for that kind of…
-
Interesting. I play both, and frankly, the combat here is more engaging even now. I guess that's what happens when one tries to use a subjective opinion as an objective fact: All it takes is someone to have a counter opinion, and there's gonna be drama.
-
What's there to say that hasn't been said in the countless other threads that are exactly the same? Not to seem all white knight or anything, but the pattern here is the same as it was on the BSN all those years ago: If they don't respond to everything someone posts, they're ignoring them. If they do respond, it's not good…

I saw some of that happening in Bryn Shandar last night, but the entire zone was lagging so bad that I stood at a campfire and queue'd dungeons I hadn't finished when I quit 5 years ago. Earlier in the day, Neverdeath had that severe lag going on, but was, ironically, clear of it when I had to go there for the Tyranny of…
-
Citations needed for "tiny minority". I left 5 years ago with this very concept in mind. I'm not adverse to running the entire game solo, but, if I'm going to be running solo, I can just play a SP game, and won't have to worry about zone chat at all, let alone worrying about it being flooded, quite literally, by other…
-
The immediate problem with 2 is the lag generated by the scripts running constantly in the background. It won't just be in one dungeon, it will be in all of them, in all skirmishes, and any other group content I may be missing here. This is compounded by "there's not just one version of each". It's possible, even likely…
-
What patch can they release that will fix this? If you have one, you may want to share it with all the other MMOs that have queues for content that wind up with the same problem. We have the tools to deal with it here, in fact, we used it yesterday, vote kicking.
-
Ahhh, it's going to take me more than 24 hours to get all that stuff... I'm doomed. :p
-
It's the nature of the beast, from what I've observed. For every theory crafter working to find unique ways to play a class, there are 1000 players waiting for them to post a build for a specific class that they can use. Not to imply that there's anything wrong with that. Some systems can be extremely convoluted to figure…
-
So the game is trashed beyond all recognition, but if they give you free CS stuff, you'll be fine...
-
It really amazes me how easy it is to assume that because you're fine with something, everyone should just accept it. I had shiny purple gear, with level 5 and 6 enchants, when I logged my previously capped (60) toon in. This, of course, does not address the issue that getting to 60 and getting fully geared was way too…
-
While I agree, to a point, the problem I'm seeing is consistency with the cooldowns. I'm basing this off of the Ranger's Hindering Shot/Strike skills. The ranged version is almost at At Will spamming ability, while the melee version is almost literally "once per encounter". I'm not sure which is the accurate version, or if…
-
Possibly. However, they are fixing it, and contrary to what these forums, and PE would have us believe, not so many players are "talking with their wallet" as claim to be. Case in point, the same 5 or 6 people have been "quitting" since the launch of the update. They'll tell you all about it, unless you block them, every…
-
Interesting, coming on the heels of a 2 maintenance periods day, where they patched stuff the community has been going on about, and then fixed something they broke that the community was also harping about.
-
Yes, because hot fixing things that are adversely affecting the community at large is always a bad thing, especially right before the weekend, when a lot of players may want to participate in something that is broken. :o
-
A lot of what floods PE these days is exactly this kind of thing. It's "I can't solo group content any more" or "Why do I have to heal, as a healer". I'm sure there are, or were, some legit concerns, yesterday's patchapalooza sort of carries that out, but a lot of what goes on is "they took my toys". The other problem is…
-
That's fine, so long as it's understood as being impossible to determine how relevant it is. My own experiences with "but steam charts say" is to claim that a game is dead/dying as definitive proof.
-
According to the discussions on the test shard forums, it's not working as intended, as it's not supposed to be scaled at all. Unless I totally missed some specific references, which is possible, I'm old, and forgetful. I would submit the report, and see what comes back.
-
Thank you for demonstrating my point.
-
When I quit, the level cap was 60. What level 70 content could I have run? Throwing that out here now, knowing that content wasn't available is the biggest strawman I have ever seen, and I've been on the internet for a couple of decades and change.
