  • That's fair actually, I think I did miss your point and went right to the net effect of the statement. I got hung up on this: Thanks for clarifying, I do appreciate your response, and I agree. I misread the intention for sure. Thanks for responding way more reasonably than I did to you. But it's not an issue of slowness.…
  • How is fixing a glitch going to upset pvp balance? So you're saying leave it so GF's think they're blocking but dmg is being let thru so that it's easier to CC them as a wiz? Cause CW isn't already powerful enough in pvp. Really good stuff.
  • bracer, you are wrong. just. plain. wrong. also, not helpful. sign it if you're having the problem, not if you don't notice it. smh. so because you can't replicate a widely reported problem means that it's not there? lolol. all your contribution does it possibly decrease the urgency of the fix for an actual problem. grats.…
  • Thank you so much for the appropriate and customer service-oriented response! I truly appreciate it as convincing the forum that there is an issue here has been a pretty uphill battle (this is, to my count, the fifth thread regarding it, and the first prompt and appropriate reply). I'm wondering, though, where we should be…
  • UPDATE: if you look at this thread: http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?302511-A-die-hard-CW-begging-on-behalf-of-Guardians we have a forum admin responding to a thread about GF block. The SECOND post in the thread is a forum official helping to assuage concerns. It only took five threads. Anyway, they are…
  • As long as block and threat are broken, you will be irrelevant and unwelcome in most endgame parties. Here comes the obligatory "block isn't broken bro l2p" :rolleyes: My main class is TR, and I find myself being kicked pretty often from T2 PuG's because there is an oversaturation of TR currently and everyone wants a DC…
  • I skipped most of this thread to be honest, but I wanted to address the people who claim "social decay" or whatnot as the reason why people "ninja loot." This echoes a really well-written post another forum-goer wrote up a while back, and I read it nodding my head and clapping because someone remembered the origin of ninja…
  • You aren't even addressing the point anymore (not that you really were to begin with), so I'm going to leave you to your own pointless devices and let this thread get back on track to the issue at hand. /disengaged
  • Well in that case, I guess you either lack the testing/observational skills to replicate, or again, you just have no idea what we're talking about. I guess it could be a reading comprehension fail on your part, as well, who knows. Either way, you're still contributing nothing to the conversation. "I'm a sick GF player I…
  • And for posterity the relevant part of the first post you dropped in this thread: it seems you've changed your tune a bit from "nothing has changed l2p" to "everyone knows there is a problem due to a change l2p." Hey look! it's your credibility flying out the window! Jump out and catch it for me. My point is it doesn't…
  • If it were the same as rubberbanding it really would be random. No one is complaining about random dropped block. We're talking about something that is easily replicated on demand and does not stop at just "wtf i was blocking" it extends to "the game thinks im blocking allowing only block stance at-wills, but yet it's…
  • you understand it's not a delay we're talking about right? It's going into block stance, having block at-wills, but block letting damage thru anyway. I agree latency has a greater impact on some players, but it's wonky. IF that's how the class is supposed to work, then block IS broken -- inherently. So I'll see you as…
  • signed because they moved our original thread to apparently decrease visibility on this issue or perhaps to make more room for threads complaining about ninja looting. :\
  • Edited posts for readability due to a couple of direct requests and then a very passive aggressively worded criticism, but I find it wholly unnecessary and nit-picky. I'm not trying to write a thesis here. It was just a rant. If you find block text difficult to read, zoom in your browser or skip it. The lack of paragraphs…
  • @ elessym: Everything you posted just displays a basic lack of experience in internet-based communities. Furthermore, if his job isn't CS, he shouldn't be customer facing. A company this big should be paying people to make informed or at least measured responses. Personally I would have preferred an answer along the lines…
  • It's almost like you didn't read the post I'm referring to....blind defense of devs is pretty cool, though. The backlash you/he/other whiners refer to is pretty lukewarm in terms of internet backlash. I believe all anyone really said was "we're not satisfied with that answer" and it was read as vitriol for some reason.…
  • I'm just baffled that the only response we've received thus far is the bogus one from panderus. 20 pages and 186 posts later (just in this particular thread about it), and we're still left to assume this is working as intended. I understand panderus QQ'd out of the thread, but all he did was make us madder at an already…
  • Who cares if they respond if all they give us is useless information and then reject our claims out of hand? The one good thing he said was that they'd look further into it, but he also qualified it with "if you guys really feel there's a problem" and further qualified it with the word "some" implying that it was not…
  • So what if someone lives further away from the servers than you? You're already saying the delay is a bit too long, and I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you have above-par latency. Sorry for the double post, but this came in while I was typing the other. EDIT: one other thing, since when did complaining and…
  • Agreed to that. Not only is this a game forum, it's a game forum for a F2P MMO. Measured responses from Team Members should be a requirement, not our civility. If he didn't expect the exact response he got when he posted that he's either never played online games before or never been to an online forum before. In fact, as…
  • Did you actually try to repro the problem as described? If you play DPS GF you probably wouldn't notice it as you aren't playing the class as a tank and thus not blocking frequently enough to see the problem. Try Block>Drop Block>Reblock in succession. That's the simplest test, but it's affecting other combinations as well…
  • It's not a feeling. It's a knowing. It isn't working correctly. It was before, now it's not. Y'know, I highly doubt you'd be making that particular post if whiners in the thread hadn't started discussing how we addressed your answer to us. I think it's fair that we'd get a little upset when the official response seems to…
  • I do like the fact that all of these off-topic posts about how to address dev-speak are keeping visibility for the issue up, but it's starting to weigh the thread down and turn into something that's even less constructive than semantics. Let's re-rail this thread.
  • Man, try ever bringing this issue up in PE /zone...so many trolls denying that it's a problem. Ridiculous.
  • Yeah agreed. That response from Cryptic is a total brush-off. There's an outcry saying "your 'fix' makes block feel broken" and you're saying "we broke it so it feels smoother." How does this make sense? I've put A LOT of time into this game on my TR, and this sort of response from staff makes me want to quit playing even…
  • Thought you guys might want to see this (from poster labeled Cryptic Studios team member): Originally Posted by panderus -- Theres actually a short cooldown and activate time on block and other Shift powers. Its better to keep block up than let it down if you are going to need it again so quickly. They are also all…
  • Woah wait so Cryptic is claiming working-as-intended on this mechanic? ::deletes Guardian Fighter; Rolls Cleric::
  • Cross-post from barracks for the bump: this needs an immediate fix. more immediate than exploits, which were patched posthaste. instead of being an occasional inconvenience if you're playing PVP and run into an exploiter, this breaks the game for all Guardian Fighters. Where is the official response? All we've heard is…
