Ooh dear ...

Like one of the early posts in my thread about BoL in these forums... they had the time to make MC fabled gear WORSE in live than it was in beta....

 

What is the source of that and what exactly did they say? I didnt notice.

 

Kander was talking how Auto attack changed overtime.He also said Auto attack needs to be adjusted by classes and not generally as this would create OP Classes. He mentioned Inquis could/would be OP with their current plans for AA. Beastlord Pet in this expansion is another good example.
Flurry will make a comeback as a needed stat.

 

I don't only want what he smokes.. I also want to know what universe he lives in? EQ2 polished... hahahaha, maybe it was a joke?

 

Ok, so as of day three, I am still markedly disturbed by the inappropriate amount of detail you supplied with respect to turd polishing, Nawtey.

(Needed to get that out of my system so to start the healing process)

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No really. Press X to doubt.

 

They have no idea how to build the game without these stupid, bloating junk stats.

 

Flurry to become the new crit mit/crit chance/resolve!



The whole "tune auto attack by class" was in Xelgad's plans at one point (along with spells, basically have knobs that can be tuned per class to help dampen the effect of everyone benefiting equally from every stat), but I can't remember if it was something that was actually implemented or if it was something he wanted to do for ToT before we all got laid off.

 

And having stats do different things for different classes with zero documentation would be suuuuuch a GREAT idea... *shudder*

 

Let's see how much lag it introduces when the server has not only calculate damage for flurry with all these exponential operations, but now also has to do more calculations to adjust them per class/AA options. Why don't they give swarm pets flurry too, while we're at it, really seize things up!

Bonus points if you flood the combat info to the client because it's somehow "exempt" from the existing filtering rules!

 

Ah, Resolve; the stat that signified that it was time for me to leave EQ2.

Whenever I think of the EQ2 developers, I picture renovators arguing over whether the nursing home they're working on should have a brand new, fully-equipped powerlifting room, or a built in pole-dancing studio. Either way, it's a bunch of crap that no one's excited for, but they know that the customers will pay for it, anyways.

 

So what I'm getting from this is that the serious stat+number crunch I was hoping for is definitely not happening. I don't understand why they aren't fixing the stat inflation issue, it's ridiculous.

 

Dreamweaver has decided to insta-lock Mercy's transcript threads.

He was fine with leaving them open until people started calling bullshit on Kander.

 

One of the truest signs of ineptitude is the inability to take criticism. Deserved or not. It runs rampant across so many areas of America.

 

That's the first trickle down anything that's actually worked around this joint. From jellybeans to Big Macs. Smh. But, yeah, you're absolutely correct - trickle down.

 

Plan for next 5 expacs - Add all stats to a hat, randomly pick 3, increase mob avoidance for that stat. Repeat.

 

I know, lol. That's why I went from Jelly beans (Reagan, trickle down economics) to Big Macs.
