Thread: Can we all please stop refering to the CU as the buff nerf?

Seriously, I think way too many docs are jumping to conclusions about what might happen with buffs in the CU. The CU is going to bring many changes (as illustrated by the information already released regarding armor). Whatever doc buffs look like post CU will be seen in the light of many other changes. This forum has become fixated on speculation about one possible change and taken to calling the CU simply the "buff nerf". I have 2 pieces of advise for everyone, in regards to the CU:


1. Keep playing the game however you would if the CU weren't on the horizon. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by denying yourself fun now in anticipation of changes yet to occur.


2. Rather than speculate what is changing, wait for a red name to release real information. Asking the Corrs or alpha testers for information is fruitless, as we are not allowed to release anything and truthfully have no way of knowing what the finished CU is going to look like.

Calling it a nerf is very short-sighted - everything I have seen about the CU so far seems very well thought out and likely to have a positive impact on the game!

I have 5million units of doc ressources.. It is alot of money we are talking about if the existing buffs will stay after the cu.. then I will lose ALOT of money..

/agree.


additional note:

where is "buff nerf" ?

anybody can showus the link please ?

somebody imagined and asked from the doc threads and it became a rumor now !!

if the devs built this game they know how will develope with our feedback..

this is a game with many proffessions so i dont think so they will delete the one of the favorite proffession.


and why people care about money ?

solution is always in our hand....

even buffs go maybe stims can be rare so you can earn your money with stims....


i didnt find anything about buff nerf in CU so please be calm and patient ....

Facts:



  1. CURB is not in alpha yet (ThunderHeart said so about a week ago)

  2. Unless you are one of the 5 people choosen by your professions coorespondant you have no concrete answers on what is happening with buffs/combat/etc

  3. If you are one of the sandbox testers you are under an NDA and cannot discuss what you know.

  4. The "Buff NERF" is nothing more than an assumption that a whole lot of people jumped to even though they have absolutley no proof or Dev statements to back it up.

Tell all the Chicken-Little's you know that the sky is not truly falling. As far as what the CURB is/isn't going to do to buffs.... you've got plenty of time before any of it happens and just like the rest of the community there will be plenty of notice. Think of it like this....


CURB goes into Alpha testing : Now the sandbox testers and Dev's kick all sorts of stuff around until it's pretty enough for Beta. In most Alpha testing everything and anything is up for change/tweaking.


CURB goes into Beta testing : At this point most big code changes are close to being set in stone. Issues and bug's will be found and fixed, high priority changes go in at this point. Continued testing for sometime.


CURB finally gets ready to go live : There will be community posts, discussions with/by Dev's, all sorts of stuff considered before finally releasing into the real world.


CURB goes live : Forum Community outrage will be about the same as every single patch that has ever gone in on this game. There will be cries, and screams. "I got NERF'ed, they should get NERF'ed, Whaaa.... whaaa..." About a month later some more bugs will be fixed, more forum crying, then everyone just finally gets used to it. By that time they will be telling everyone about the up and coming Galactic Civil War Revamp....


Seriously, relax people. There's 5 Doctors who are representing you in the CURB, I doubt they're going to sit quietly by IF anything gets NERF'ed without good reason.




There is no peace, there is anger.
There is no fear, there is power.
There is no death, there is immortality.
There is no weakness, there is the Dark Side. I am the Heart of Darkness.
I know no fear, but rather I instil it in my enemies. I am the destroyer of worlds.
I know the power of the Dark Side. I am the fire of hate.
All the Universe bows before me, I pledge myself to the Darkness.
For I have found true life, in the death of the light.

Don't forget, some of us are MCM/MDs. So you've got some CMs and some Medics looking out for the Docs too

Fact:

The CURB has not gone much beyond the dicussion and planning stage, There are no servers for it yet.

It started over 1 year ago with the great Creature nerf ("oh my ther are a great many creature changes comming")


In other words I will believe the CURB is comming when I at least see a beta server up or hear of 1, Which I don't expect to see until July and it won't go live until september.

So stop worrying Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in this game are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday

Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.

What if there is a Buff nerf coming up and SOE limit all buffs to 1000 when buffing instead of normally being from 2000-2600+?


Yes alot of people who have spent millions on resources would lose out, I think everyone has a right to be worried because there certainly is a buff nerf on the way

Also...some people say not to worry because there is no information that SOE have released on an upcoming buff nerf so there probably won't be one, BUT...I haven't heard a Dev say that there isn't going to be one, so its very likely there will be and to get people hunting in groups like the old days
