Please, if you are going to try and rebut my post then atleast say something intelligent. I'm being serious with this thread.


This isn't a matter of your "half emtpy-half full" analogy... I am trying to be as objective as possible about this. Looking at it from the perspective of the devs: seeing people merely 1month after release killing the hardest creatures in the game - exploring every inch of the planets.



Like I said, on a personal level, I found the sense of accomplishment extremely low being able to just knockdown constantly. I am not saying that these changes aren't on some level upsetting, but just that I understand why they happened, and what they are good for.

Jesus Christ, that is supposed to make us feel better?

YAY! My HAM went from 600 to 550!

YAY! I missed a knockdown and now this durni is going to incap me!

YAY! I got an F+ on my report card!

YAY! I got punched in the balls but at least I don't have to worry about kids!



I'm sorry, but all of your posts that I have read sound like the above to me.



PS
The devs won't make your character better by kissing ass, you still suck like the rest of us TKA.

ah yes, I do have to concede on one point:



soloing is ROUGH with this patch... i guess I am spoiled having a tight-knit group that I run with daily.

Dude 800k a night is BS even before the GBN nerf. Don't play games. One box from TKA master, you didn't do it on level 1-3 difficulty creatures, or blue cons. So clean your brown nose.

Oh yes, many of us agree with you that KD as it was needed a nerf. They just took it too far is all. There's a difference between an adjustment and crippling. Most of us regard this as a crippling. While knockdown could be used to solo reds, it was also necessary to solo any white with a decent sized ham bar as we papercut them to death.


I think they should have vastly increased resistance of mobs higher level than you, and left the rest the same.


This would have met your requirements as well, I think. This way we'd still be viable vs white cons, but yellow/reds would rip us to shreds as they are probably meant to.

right, just because somebody tries to see something differently they are "kissing ass."


if are you going to agree, good, post something about it, but don't try to make me feel like crap for having a different perspective.

finally, gutshot... somebody who can discuss something without having to artificially boost their self-esteem by insulting others.


I do agree that resistances should go up. TKA should be one hard-to-hit mothereffer.

Ionspread... I wasn't joking about the 800k xp... I'm not saying it for your approval.

Would it honestly have been that hard to leave the melee classes' knockdowns alone and only increased the ranged classes' HAM costs?


I mean sure you'd have a few whiny novice pistoleers about how they can't pistol whip Teras Kasi Masters and sit there and healthshot1 them to death until they need another pistol whip.. but honestly in the long run I think you would have gotten a lot more positive feedback.

Sniff, sniff. Defend your point and make one. The rest of us aren't as happy as you. And there are alot of people out here who aren't one block away from TKA master who have no hope of ever getting there now. (did you kill level 1-3 difficulty creatures to get there and what is your anwser now?)
