<DIV>Well I had a nice post made up with cuts from other threads but once again the stupid arsed forums that SoE has so graciously stuck us with ate it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In a nutshell, because abilities that were just fixed in November (cheap shot, thorny trap) are getting nerfed twice within 6 months making the soloing scouts effectiveness that of a [Removed for Content].</DIV> <DIV><A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=stat&message.id=212&query.id=17193#M212" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=stat&message.id=212&query.id=17193#M212</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=tup&message.id=127" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=tup&message.id=127</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And because of things like the memory error which have no fix in sight to this day despite devs having all the info they needed months ago. Meanwhile everything and its uncle gets changed in lu24 but should have known, new development team, new vision...nerfed game. Documented MONTHS ago, acknowledged months ago. But yet they think we are going to continue throwing money at them with this ongoing issue. Heres a wake up call, I am leaving as are many others over this and the latest round of lets spin the wheel and random developer calls out what we nerf next (I know its a bit extreme but thats the way it looks atm).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=tech_support&message.id=129453&query.id=17237#M129453" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=tech_support&message.id=129453&query.id=17237#M129453</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I just wish the original designers were still assigned to the core game engine. They listened to the community. They also found the common ground when it came to nerfing. None of this bull[expletive haxx0red by Raijinn], here it is, deal with it, it sucks but oh well what ya gonna do. (My sig says what Im gonna do Mr. [Removed for Content] (Had a red name pm reply this to me about lu24, funny [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Heres a hint IT, when you apply the directx9c patch to the servers finally, dont forget to install the security update to fix the hole in directinput. Otherwise you place all of your clients networks at risk to overflow exploits (gee that sound familiar SoE? hint memory crash error)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So in closing yeah, the company policies of SoE, the rapidly changing development teams, the re-nerfing of recently nerfed abilities, the lack of attention to critical bugs in the game, and the fact bugs still exist that were around since beta that STILL aren't being addressed. That is why this fanboi of Eq2 called it quits after 1 year +.</DIV><p>Message Edited by StealthM0de on <span class=date_text>05-23-2006</span> <span class=time_text>04:00 PM</span>

<P>I hear LU24 also contains flagrant drug references - grass, trees, even the dreaded homegrown are mentioned. You'd best leave before you get arrested or something.</P>

Are you just here to complain based on second hand knowledge or have you actully made a Scout on test and tried the changes to see if they really do ruin your solo abiality or not?

The nerfs to cheap shot have pretty much gimped soloing as a ranger. The assassin isnt much better off. I elaborated on why these changes dont work in another thread.</P> <P>Basically their is 170ms in between me the server and me again. Now lets take into account network lag, congestion, rerouting, overtrafficked nodes, etc.  I am moving into position to use attack+stealth ca, then rear facing stealthed attack. Well on test, i get almost to the 2nd step...when the mob becomes unstunned.</P> <P>And you can see why this duration change doesn't work. I feel sorry for the australian scouts that play on live servers in the US. Cheap shot will not be used anymore, lag will render it useless now.</P> <P>Off-topic regarding the troll. Enjoy the edit by moderator. Drug references are illegal on these forums as well.</P> <P>Not gonna post links here for you thex, but his name was a drug reference. What is totally hilarious is I get full credit for getting his name changed, but I wasn't even active in the game anytime around when it was changed. That is the BEST part. I was in afghanistan when his name was changed. LOL.</P><p>Message Edited by StealthM0de on <span class=date_text>05-23-2006</span> <span class=time_text>05:16 PM</span>
