I have been getting Killed left and right tonight by light blue cons and dark blue cons SWOOPERS, that I beat the hell out of last night pre-patch. I have no idea what they did but they screwed something up big time. And no i never used KD on swoopers never had too, so it sure isn't that. KD was bad enough but with this going on whats the use anymore?

I think I know what they do wrong. Someone has instilled in them that before you can give an improvement you must do something to make the situation worse to balance the improvement.

The problem is they are very good at making the negative changes but have no skill in making the postive ones. This opinion is of course is based on my enjoyment playing after the changes have been made.

Again i tested it this morning, I can't finish my lvl 16 missions due to getting slain 3 times. I have tried, all sorts of creatures , humbabaa's deviled gulgaw (sp?) hidden daggers. I keep dying I do not know what happened , what changed , this not a KD issue this is something else.

As it stands right now I have to send in a lvl 45 pet on each creature that spawns from the lair because I can't not kill it by myself anymore.

What happened ???

Bump,

Cant complete the 21s I used to complete. Anyone got any ideas how long this wll take to unerf? This absolutely sucks.

this problem goes beyond the KD timer. i used polearm sweep occasionaly but i like to keep my HAM bars colorful so i use specials with care.

that being said.. i went out hunting solo yesterday afternoon to grind some pike xp and tame babies. first encounter was with a nest of kaadu.. i usually pass them up but decided to knock a few down before moving on. after fighting 4 kaadu's i looked at noticed i had recieved 40 - 50 health wounds. from kaadu's? you have got to be joking. ok i brushed it off as a freak accident and moved on.

next i met up with a TKA buddy of mine to take on some Bolle Bol's. these are alot tougher than kaadu's but when the 2 of use take them on its no contest. after fighting these for a little while i realized i am now the main target of everything we fight. it used to go back and forth between us but now im getting hit 99% of the time (even tho my TKA buddy is closer and is hitting way more than i am). i also recieved more wounds than usual from this encounter as well. to remedy this problem i stood directly behind my partner when fighting so i would not take all the hits. needless to say this tactic is weak and made me feel like a useless part of the battle.... but if i didnt do this then i was going to be spending the day taking dirt naps...

something else has obviously changed other than the KD timer and its turned me into a almost useless factor in combat. i really think they need to revert the changes they made and rethink how they need to improve our class instead of break it. im fine with a KD timer.. i would like something a little shorter. .maybe 10 or 15 seconds tho. but as things stand right now i am spending way too much time incapped or healing myself to even enjoy it.

I can't finish my missions either...
