FYI: archery changes

Im downloading the QA to check it out as well. I agree though I have heard from a few that tested that its fine as well.

 

I'll try to make it clearer:

I don't have a problem with the possible reduction in movement speed.

My problem is "chaotic combat" leading to this outcome, since there are multiple skills designed to be chaotic.

Either remove teleport and confusion skills along, or find a plausible reason to slow players down.

 

Hey everyone! however, you feel about it... there is a vote on it in the twitter verse!!

 

And just to be clear... I may not be testing this right but...

what I know is:
- PVP between my friends seems ok. Making it slower would seem unneccary
- Death Slimes still eat my lunch
- There are other PVP encounters that do make me wonder how they move so fast

FYI: I reposted the vote here: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/f...ent-speed-reduction-poll.167695/#post-1315147

 

I'm guessing that some players are loading up on movement speed bonus items and that's what prompted the change.

 

Certainly, if I'd known this was coming, I wouldn't have blown through a bunch of silver and cloth making a set of wings last weekend.

 

@necronut Specifically WHAT speed bonuses were halved ?
ALL speed bonuses ?
And how do you NOT reduce speed if speed bonuses are halved ?
"Crits were reduced" .
What crits ?
All crits ?

 

@Barugon
Players "loading up on movement speed bonus items" - well, if "loading up" means using all that we've been given for speed - then of course they are.
Why give them to us if we're not to use them ?

 

It's up on QA. Just like the rest of sota - if you want an answer, go get it.

 

Thx @Restless , I'm fully aware of that and have been testing both last night and today.
You might note, since you quoted my post, that I was specifically asking @necronut a question regarding his post.
Have a great day !

P.S. I went to QA and tested 2 speed "bonuses" and neither of them changed my speed from current client to QA client - hence my question regarding "which" speed bonuses.
So, you needn't worry yourself over my involvement on QA...

 

See my P.S. above that I was writing as you were .... whatever you consider your snarky post.

 

Looks like I was pretty well wrong: https://twitter.com/catnipgames/status/1372307419498446849

 

Chris said today in his twitter feed: " move speed is really about convenience but by giving players that convenience we've made combat too chaotic. I believe this will leave the convenience aspect and decrease the insanity during combat for PVE and PVP."

I'd love to hear some examples of how player move speed made combat "too chaotic" or "insane" in PVE !
How on earth does my movement speed make MOB combat "too chaotic" ?

Having said that, I can see how quick movement in PVP might get complaints from players, but MOBs in PVE don't seem to complain...
Just sayin...........

 

Sorry, it wasn't intended to sound negative.

 

Man just don't feed one of Torc's relatives.

 

While we're still debating much needed archery changes, here's some actual evidence:

Crits in this clip include 1,785, 2,239 2,270, 3,027, and... wait for it... 4,045! https://clips.twitch.tv/MiniatureKindMousePlanking-LWu8LdahHuDicqOy

Watch the entire vod and see precisely how common 4k crits are.

 

Now, show us the skills of Revenant - if you would dare.
In fact, in your next video - bring them up on screen during a fight.

Classic case of nerfing skills of everyone because of people like Mac (and apparently Revenant).

 

Great change by Chris lowering max crit his while keeping dps the same. Was curious when someone would start one-shotting dragons and more curious to see if people would agree that's a bit much...

 

Revenant dont have spec in air and tactis, deltalok have but he is advl 136, a Lot of players are in This range nowadays... The high damage above 3000 were from delta and me

 

My next vid? This is a clip from a stream, Revenant's stream, in fact. All you have to do is go to twitch, and ask Revenant to show you his skills.

But when you say "People like Mac," you fail to take into account that one can wander into the Novian pantry with the lights off and trip over a billion xp these days.

What fun is playing in a band when everybody's soloing?
