who told the devlopment team to improve our stun def and our counter attack

i personally think you do a good job orginizing us and getting info from us, but some where the info is bottle necking from you to the dev.

the amount of time you have spent on this profession board being our voice i seriousy dont think any of the problems lies with you .

you seem to be balanced in bring out the view points reguarding both players and gammers view points

1 who told the devlopment team to improve our stun def and our counter attack

i dont think i have seen any mention by anyone on this profession board about needing these impovement

2 center of being costs 231 mind ham,doesnt last long enough to end the fight if mutiple targets are on you, and doesnt provide the def we need .it isjust a weak patch to cover all melee users and not a fix for the problem at hand

so Gorecki what your personal view point? on this patch?

...well...first to your questions:

1.To my knowledge no one asked for them...same thing for the red streaks btw...(apart from one or two posts i might have seen in this boards history)

2. That is true...and it was already one of my post patch issues: i still have to check my records but as far as i remember themind cost was lower on TC.

What i personally think of this patch ?

I described CoB and the couple of defensive mods as a start in my state of the profession, because that's what they are in my eyes: a start...and as far as i can see there are also people out there liking these changes. Ihave to admit though that i didn't get to test stuff on live yet..that's going to happen tomorrow.Right now i'm more fighting with these endlessly reloading boards, tosee what's going on...report stuff. Subjectively seen though, i will probably like them: my char on TC is a simple master swordsman...nothing else. On live i'm also a doctor, so they will most probably not be perceived as nerfs from my side.

Concerning red streaks: That was more something that bothered me a little to be confronted with,which was also partly the reason for my poll. I first wanted to see what you guys think of it, before i would scream "objection". After what i have seenthe ideato check if we can get a switch would seem reasonable to me. If not...we will have to continue the discussion....once again: as far as i can see not everybody dislikes them.

My opinion about them ?

When i noticed them first on TC my first thought was: uhoh...then i started testing CoB and while doing that, i got pretty much used to and actually liked them. I am though somewhat of an immersive player so there are moments where they bother me.

Concerning changes to range: Mea cupla...i'm so used using specials that i hardly use auto-attacks, hence i only tested it with specials on TC. That's also one of the things i'm going to test tomorrow. The way it still recently was on TC, i perceived it as being pretty efficient, so i will probably notice tomorrow in case it isn't.

Well....i'm gonna spare us the empty finesse box (*gulp*...i hope it made it on live...hehe)

Alltogether i don't perceive it as a nerf or something "bad", as some might see it. I also know though that we didn't get the necessary boost to get us in line with other professions.

I would like to point out one thing though: as far as i remember this patch was implemented on TC about the time when the first concrete activities started on correspondent board with TH's arrival....that means that we lost about 2 weeks before that....so in my eyes things started running to late for beingable to influence this patch enough. Now the machine is running, and if it's going to continue running as it is supposed to, this might probably and hopefully be the last patch, where opinons split and isn't perceived as fun for all.

As i posted already yesterday, for now all i'm going to say is:stay tuned.

For the spotters: the post patch thread wasn't the only reasonfor creatingsome space on this board and you might want to go through yesterday's DevTracker threads and listen to the background music...the little sentences...often the ending ones.

Have a nice weekend
