I see. Personally I gladly trade versatility for more potential effectiveness in our niche aoe dps role. My encounter loadout is more flexible, though there's always at least two of the aoes I mentioned in there and I rarely use mobility or singletarget ecounters unless the situation necessitates it. My consistency across…
What encounters are you running? CAGI, shout, NSF and leap can get you three stacks with one use very easily, and IBS can be used to refresh duration or even reapply them if you manage to hit a group. Regardless of your other stats, I don't think anything comes close to avatar of war if you suit your encounters to it. are…
A lot of people seem to think so. I think fighter classes will be even more shunned than before with the increase of difficulty coming from lack of double AS and dungeon fixes. The way I feel about it, double cleric will be more important than ever to guarantee 100% AS/HG uptime, GF is already dead since the block "fix"…
I mostly get nodes on the first try, but occasionally I break five kits in a row. You've just been unlucky. You haven't really missed out anyways. The loot from nodes is worthless before lvl 30-40 areas because the enchantments are so low-rank and early profession materials are abundant. I'd recommend buying a few dozen of…
I see the 9 points in Righteous are all for divine power generation. Suppose I didn't need them, what else should I get? And if I get Mark of Mending, will Healer's Lore be worth using over Divine Fervor?
You really should use "intelligence" with more restraint. It's the devs that made a repeat mistake, not the players. I assumed Cryptic would've implemented a way to control auctions after the last haphazard downtime. I was punished for good faith, not ignorance - though perhaps those two go hand in hand when one trusts PWE…
So cancel all auctions. Do something. Clear the auction house completely and send all items and bids back to their owners. I understand that you can't freeze the timers if there's no such functionality right now, but there's got to be something you can do.
I hate to prove your point, but that's stupid. "Backlash" from a few very passionate individuals can not keep you from communicating with the playerbase.
astral shield stacking is a little exaggerated compared to other methods right now, but I would like interesting combos like that to remain viable in the future. tank and spank is a thing of the past, double cleric should be an option and other exotic setups should be introduced as more classes are released.
Auction house's still down and there's no dedicated trade channel. Just turned on zone chat out of curiosity and I'm surprised people even try to trade stuff. Keys seem to be the new currency. I find that worrying. Are you relying on players to migrate to custom channels instead of implementing more default chats?
He reminds me too much of some kind of IGN EXCLUSIVE NEWS guy talking about a game he got to spend 15 minutes on. Support/tickets/gamemasters are nonexistent, the forums seem to be a containment area supervised by volunteer moderators/PWE representatives and this lead developer is shockingly clueless about pressing…
I'm really trying not to propagate that sentiment. I don't want the messenger to fix everything right now and be held accountable, just maybe whoever calls the shots could equip the messenger better next time.
You're perpetuating negative stereotypes against us pretty well right now. Maybe you're the one who should have another doobie and not get so worked up over how strangers live their life, eh? Quite disheartening that a fellow leaf enthusiast of all people would be so openly judgemental.
That really wasn't part of my complaint, just a personal vent I felt inclined to add to justify me being a bit more stingy than perhaps necessary. Although I am tired and irritable, I would've felt roughly the same even if I had nothing better to do with my time. I appreciate your concern though and will definitely get…
Just where are you getting that impression? I haven't seen anyone be overly vitriolic in this thread. You admitted that this is a legitimate complaint. Are you saying it should be disregarded just because it is comparatively insignificant? Cryptic and PWE are commited to delivering a quality product, even if it's free, and…
Punishing exploiters is fine, but they cannot take the entire blame for the impact they cause. If something can be done in a game, it will be done - this applies foremost in betas where people are eager to push games to their boundaries, and in normal beta situations developers profit from these stress tests. In the end,…
A "surgical fix" of that magnitude would be great, but I don't think there's any point in even having expectations for something so resource-intense. In all likelyhood there will be some bans and other placebo measures before the issue is officially solved. If the devs cared as much as you hoped, there would've been better…
This is a somewhat pressing matter. I'd argue there's nothing else worth talking about while it is unadressed. Considering the volume of posts, there's nothing wrong with breaking up voices and ideas. You can hardly discuss in the big fast thread, pages fly by too fast - it's like a tiny forum, so why bother when we can…
