Feedback GAME REBALANCING FEEDBACK THREAD

Yea, because it is so cheap to switch skills using copper and silver, there is very little incentive to use the presets as it stands now.

 

Anyone can explain how can we craft ess/upgrade it on r_208?

 

750 lower type essence + random ingredient(s) from certain maps = 250 higher type essence

For instance 750 blue + ingredient = 250 pink
750 pink + ingredient = 250 red

Something like that xD

 

Are green essences still buyable for coins?

 

As I don't have a very advanced SW on the TS, I will only comment on a few things that I was able to observe. Really, the rest of my feedback will probably come much later when it actually hits the live servers.

• The new group talents seem to be quite exciting and will add a layer to the group gameplay this game otherwise lacked. However, as they stand right now, you don't need any extra brain cells to use them. I was actually hoping those talents could be made into a separate button(s) that would "empower" the skill and allow us to choose when to activate that group talent, rather than wasting it every 90 seconds because it's a skill we would be spamming (eg. Frozen Sphere on SW, Battle Frenzy on DK).
• Ordinary monsters now have block. So... now we are no longer content with just scaling up HP on stuff, we need to give them actual tank stats. xD I honestly don't know what to make of this other than the fact it will force people to focus on getting crits because plain ol' damage won't cut it anymore.
• Alchemy? Holy crap! :v I was begging for the addition of life skills to this game years ago, and finally it seems to be arriving in some shape. I'm quite excited to see it.

PS. I feel sorry for whoever has to wade through this thread and find actual feedback. Most of it is just clutter. Good luck?

 

Hey DSO Production Team ... Are you satisfied with the quality of this feedback thread? We had a discussion thread before where we could have quarantined all this stupid back and forth bickering and kept this thread sacred for real feedback... but noooooooo, you wanted to take Trakilaki's thread where we could 'debate' things (if you can even call what is going on in this thread a 'debate') and merged it into this thread and made a royal mess of garbage that is slowly suffocating out the real feedback.

 

Aight so feedback time:

The consumable crafting idea is great if the resources will be accessible enough.
The waiting for the resource collecting animation thing in PW is pretty annoying especially if we factor in the time bonus we are losing because of it during leaderboards.

Sadly the only high level char on Test I have is a ranger, which I can't really test much about as I don't play ranger on prod anymore, and nor can I test the changes in SW or DK the ones I do play nowadays.

The passive group talents seem pretty useful, and seem to be a decent incentive to farm in groups, couldn't really test though due to the lack of resources.

The wisdom talents could be great or could be terrible, can't really decide yet with like a 60 points to spend.. What I'm not sure about is how it will work... like there is 3x24 levels for the 2h weapon for example but I could only spend 50 points in that category no matter how many points I have? Anyway if the conversion will be the same on the live servers, and the farming for knowledge will be as painful as I remember it was (bigger stacks of knowledge doesn't make a difference when you need to get millions), I'm not gonna like this . Taking away months of doing dailies and farming is not fair, and the conversion should go in a manner so we could get the same stats we have before the release with the new wis tree.

The portable shop is neat, but it's not a big time save since I'll still scour through all the trash I'm selling for crafting materials.

On the matter of buffing monsters. Not cool bro seriously not cool. We already farm on inf3 with 24* monster health and decreased crits, and we get an indirect nerf by introducing block for monsters while we also get nerfed directly through the new wisdom tree. That's no fun.


Oh yea I don't appreciate the forcing of the Tank archetype in the warrior class by giving the other classes a significant buff to their base damage... I prefer playing as 2h, yet it seems like after R208 I'll be forced to play the boogieman everyone cries about in the other thread.

 

I'd be selling at the end of Map1 an maybe before Map2... Or then there is the Depths of Demise, when I want to help a friend. It would be nice to make it through more than one or two floors without throwing stuff away.

 

Regarding the new "core bag", i have seen that only few type of cores are being added there...id like to suggest that every type of cores existing ingame should be added in that bag.I also hope that the auto loot supports the new ingredients otherwise it would be a pain to collect them 1 by 1 when they drop.

 

We actually do get something we get bleeding taken away from rageful swing so we have to use the EDIT bloody wild swing if we want to activate our buff.. I guess it's time to get in the line of metamonkeys and craft a q7 set...

 

Another day... another update of the patch on the test server and still we have the same big issue with the MG turret... when you try to deploy it... the game puts it at the cursor position and into the same time, the monsters already passed that point where the turret is, making it useless. DSO team do something about it, otherwise we gonna have a main skill that we can't use anymore. Make the MG turret work as it should... placed right in front of the character not at 10 meters where can't do any harm to the monsters that are already hitting you. You really can't understand that it's pointless to have a main skill that is doing nothing to the monsters !?

 

Uhh healing is the same 2 percent per 5 sec = 10 in total. Beofre it was iwritten 10 percent over 5 sec = 2 per sec, so its the same.

Q4 set for tank gives 3 things:
1) inc dmg on bleeding
2)inc dmg on smash
3) inc dmg on mighty wild swing

Ranger q4 gives bleeding and more dps on 1 spell so 2 things in total
Mage q4 gives inc dmg on thunder and chain lightning.Asking for another buff is unresonable, considering the fact Dks have bleeding effect which also deals somekind of dmg while mage and rangers dont.
Mages are supposed to be the powerhouse of the game and the cahnge makes q4 good for bosses too because before q4 was map set and q7 only a boss set while for tanks they are the same just q7 can be procced waay to easy so thats why most of the tanks use it.

For rangers they were bound top q7 if they want to be usefull.

P.s for mages they changed the skill, not the set thus making the set better because it increases the skill even more . its not like you cant use q7 and the new lightning but its better for q4

Edit: If they remove the bleed from your normal atack then they should just revert it .The dps of the set is ok but the execution is kinda lame

 

Tbh I find it kind of funny that SMs can't get their head around moving their cursor, and claim mg turret is useless now...

 

Exactly ... but none of these ranters ^ has ever read anything nor they can spot the difference in the titles "game balancing" (this one) vs "class balancing" (the dev's thread).
They just rant ... rant ... rant without purpose.
In fact the PvP part is almost not even changed ... and I believe it will be next on the list.
So far we got all classes nerfed down in PvE ... even if you can get to your old damage and even higher HP that before ... you will still suck big time against these "balanced" monsters.

The biggest imbalance in pvp are those set buffs and bonuses ... which are still there and can be used in pvp.
And ... of course ... there is this PvE part where they are merging Action RPG with Farmerama ... which is bull manure in my opinion.

 

while testing on the TS i found the mobs blocking way too incosistent like one of the mobs blocked like 10 times in a row i guess bb everything except painfull for atleast a month or 2

But ye sadly the ranting had to come here traki ;-; but somehow the r208 is also tied with the balancing

 

So far I can't play with full wisdom ... so i can't say anything.
I will wait for the resources ... and if they are not enough i will ask someone to buff my resources up XD

 

[Edit]



I'll ask again, since I think it sunk in the last 3-4 pages... Can someone post screens of Rangers' new Talent/Wisdom/Group Trees? Thanks in advance

To be fair, I have to mention one more change - monster HP has been reduced on infernal difficulties:
I1: 1600% -> 1500%
I2: 2000% -> 1800%
I3: 2400% -> 2100%
I4: 2900% -> 2500%
I5: 3500% -> 3000%
...
