Enough with the balance beam nonsense! You had it right to begin with!

from Stardock Forums

Is this "blancing" of the game going to end? Most game are released as completed titles, now we're changing the game around because people complain too much and we're listening to them? What a pity. Should have gotten the money back when I could have.

Seems like the issue of content isn't being addressed, just trying to keep the complainers around by tending to their needs. Whatever has to be done to keep them around huh?

Addressing small items randomly each week + a nerf is really weak guys.. Where's the lovin you promissed all of us to begin with, which made the community hope for more out of this game. So far, small fixes and nerfs, nothing revolutionary yet, but after a couple months now, I don't think anyone expects anything more except balance beam updates, just to put out updates. How excellent.

 

EDITED--

I probably should have made my post clearer. Really what I'm trying to get at, is the game still crashes for people, randomly d/c for people, and the biggest thing about v1.1 causes the round to not start(random dg's). Meanwhile, let's edit some items, do some in game "balancing" which isn't needed and make a huge change to the gameplay for people so it feels like a different game. The mods and everything that we are "hoping" for, who knows when they'll come around, that's the only thing that will make this game feel "diverse" I think.

Sure I'll continue to play and I could care less about HoL being nerfed, in fact nerf the whole game.. until the bugs that are still there since the games RELEASE are fixed. I have no reason to believe changing items or dg's stats in a game is of any use until the game actually reaches "gold" which it still has not (still bugs from release).

UB's can still "sacrifice" themselves  even after you've done 3000 dmg to them and they have 3000 hp. Now I've lost numerous kills to this bug as well as money. At the same time it's basically an exploit because people can noob it up all day and not regret a single move. This bug has been since release, which still is not fixed! So let's go balance some other bs while games don't start, timeouts happen, crashes happen, and game exploits are still present.

Quoting uberShade, reply 23If anything he's nerfed because of Heart of Life.
 

Yeah, I'm not sure. Looks like your play him as your main character. You would know better than I would.

 

I just think it's odd that the UB is all the sudden the most won with character in the game.

 

I did notice looking at your record that about half your games you played you were paired up with UB's... meaning in a 3 v 3 all three of you were UB's and on a few 2 v 2's you were paired up with UB's. Why is UB such a played class all the sudden? He was good to begin with from what I understand.

 

He's always been used a lot. One reason is that Erebus and Queen of Thorns seem to be underpowered and unpopular, so you'll either get an UB or Torch Bearer. And not a lot of people play TB either, so like 80% of the time you'll have an UB teammate.

I have seen amazing Erebus's though.

Demalii, what the heck...

balancing is one of the most important things for a competetive multiplayer game after release!

We've waited so long for v1.1 and you dare to ask when balancing will end? stfu

IMO GPG should even increase the frequency of updates not reduce it...

 

Sigh, the gaul of some people... Since you do not know me, I will be kind 1 time to you.

v1.1 Brought us a few improvements, as well as the famed "random" ability, which is what was the big talk about 1.1 They implemented random ability and the game doesn't work if you pick that. So like I said, bug fixes, not nerfing bubba. Next time you get quick with me it will be different. Please read your threads before you decide to flame and make yourself look like a moron.

Along with you telling me to stfu about when the balancing will end, you forget to remind everyone that the basis of my thread is that BUG FIXES aren't the primary worry anymore apparently.. Obviously they're worried about making the game about walking back and fourth across the whole map and to rely on getting kills to afford pots and scrolls. I am happy about this because it makes the rest of the items that much more valuable to us in-game instead of relying on a silly trinket although, more fixes, less nerfing. Get the game right before you nerf!

If the fix was as easy as you said, then sure, why not make the fix.  But was it really that necessary? No.  You're telling me you wouldn't have rather waited a little bit longer and have the devs work on fixing the more serious issues?  Let's be real.
What?  What are you even talking about here?  The point is that of all the possible changes out there, changing the bounties on priests and angels was almost definitely one of the simplest possible.

What do you even mean by waiting a little longer anyway?  The patch would have been released at 7:00pm instead of 6:00pm, or we would have had to wait until 1.2 for them to make a ridiculously easy database change?  I just don't get where you get this absurd opposition to the change from.  You know they were giving too much exp, you know it was a good fix, and you have no reason to believe it was a complicated one.

What's the point?

As was said, if anything, the HOL nerf was a kick in the groin for him (albeit, one that he'll easily get over).
 

 

HOL wasnt that important for UB. With a vlemish helmet you dont need to go back to the crystal all that often, unless you are doing heavy tower killing. Sure it was something I usually got, but I dont think its going to hurt me that much not having HoL.

Which is why is said "if anything."  The nerf certainly didn't improve him is all I'm getting at.

You've played 3 games since the patch... he's played like 16. How can you even talk? 

EDIT: After further review... you're a dumb ass. You didn't play even 1 game at the time of his post. What type of moron argues points who hasn't even experienced it yet? I wasn't going to lay in to you untill I saw that...

kinda like me saying sex is great, better than any other feeling in the world, and you arguing that it's horrible and hurts... but in all reality you've never had sex beacuse you would rather battle arguements on the net that you have no idea about because you have experience NEITHER! Ausies are always the ones talking outta thier asses. Go catch a Croc cause all your good at is dishing out crocs of $%iT

Actually, I've played well over 50 games since the most recent patch, 1.1 - most of which don't seem to be recorded by the online statistics page. However, none of that changes the points of my post, which I must thank you for actually addressing with intelligent and well presented arguments instead of reverting to childish name calling. Oh, wait.

If you'd like to insult me, by all means have at it. Doesn't change the fact that I'm right, and you're wrong. Now excuse me, I have croc's to catch.
