balance team members are shit at game design and this is a good example, this screams “no fun allowed”, i honestly dont get why they even bother with stuff that arent balancing, like are they rlly this butt hurt, the way they act makes me to think of these old people in such a misserable life that they want to drag everyone in, “BuT ItS aBuG ANd Its bAD” well my dear friend that spends his whole time in balancecord licking the balance team ass, first, this wont get you to be a tester nor a balance team member, second, who cares the bug actively improves the experience, sometimes bugs are turned into features bc they help the game
like man dont even let me start on the luck nerf, not this one that comes but the fish one, ya remember when testers decided to nerf the luck pots by making it useless for fishing? God forgive casual people and new people to pvp can easily access a build without being on AO 12h per day while the hardcore pvpers barely get affected, God forgive people have fun
the jewelery nerf also sucks, instead of embracing the stat inflation and work with it to balance, they completly fuck it up by nerfing them, which ironically made stuff worse, size was mostly unaffected, agility was mostly unaffected, but atk speed was affected, these stats had some problems which atk speed was the least problematic one, arguable the most fun substat to use, and no meta, u taking the whole arena is beyond no skill than atk speed which req to you to aim, something that im sure most of the balance team isnt familiar with
but lets be honest they are too up their ego to understand or acknowledge their mistake, and i can give some example
triasta gets gutted > i call them out > i get shitted on > they keep buffing it the dmg without realizing that the hitbox might as well be non-existent > finally buffs its size and its finally good again
old reflexes > they are unfun and dumb that u can use them to escape any punishment > get shit on if u dont like it > randomly 1 day they all agree that it is bad and act like it always was (which they are right but that not what they believed plus they also mocked people that didnt like the nerfs)
turret mages are a problem > someone makes a suggestion for blast and beam to share cooldown > everyone but bt agree > acts like turret mages only started to exist once the atk speed bug started to exist and ignore the fact that was the mage gameplay since the pulsar and heavy magic nerf
also might i add the obsession of balance team, at the start it was thermo, a few good changes but then they keep nerf it and nerf it, now its atk speed, some understandable nerfs but they kept going, even now light, the fastest speed, got it speed affinity nerfed again with no buff, like why, you guys are acting like a discord attention seeker, last month he had adhd this month its autism, u keep switching on what thing to keep nerfing it
and another point, while this isnt entarity their fault is good to know they have a similar mindset of vetex and dont even try, but they want pvp and pve to be so similar, as long as they arent willing to do some changes where pvp is a bit more different than pve then u cant have a game balanced, vetex himself said he would had remove pvp if he could, they always say that its confusing but no, it isnt, stop making the players to look like idiots that cant even pass grade 2, but lets be honest, they will look at this (assuming they will) and discard everything without even thinking why this guy haves this view on them, there is a lot more that i want to say but currently its 4:37 am
