I am done caring about this game or wasting energy on it. Rogues and Berzerkers do more auto-attack damage than we do. Let me say it again: A berzerker wearing platemail and wielding a tower shield and large sword can shoot a bow more effectively than a Ranger - a person who has dedicated their life to mastering the bow. Can you post a link to where you found this info? I'm interested in reading about that.

I am in a holding pattern now - jsut waiting for a new game to come out so I can cancel my subscritpion and never ever give SOE another dime again. SOE has shown total disregard for their player base. In all fairness, it is not completely their fault. They were forced to release a product that should not have been released and now are playing the catch up game. In the process, they are alienating their entire customer base with poor decisions and even worse PR.

The game is getting better, I am not disagreeing [Removed for Content] that. But, this game will wind up keeping its new players and any player that has been around for sometime will still have the bitter taste in their mouths of lu-13, lu-19,lu-24 etc.... How many times can SOE change, change and change again. No planning, no decision making, nothing. Do we all remember these debacles:

  • The ring changes - nerf, release, players spend money, nerf again a week later, waste players money
  • lu-13 - crushed the life out of certain classes (although it was probably necessary for the game)
  • lu-19 - Fixed a broken mechanic (bug) that was in the game since day 1. SOE has the gall to call its player base exploiters for playing the game within this mechanic
  • lu-24 - another "necessary" combat update
  • Bugged content released that is known to not be working
  • Disregard of the opinions of the testing player base
  • Bugged items that are never fixed
  • Itemization that has no real plan. They admitted they had no itemization in the past and now are struggling to catch up.
  • Most importantly, and probably the straw that crushed the camel. All of these changes were done without a nary of PR to soften the blow. Hell, anti- PR was used with the proc change when the alienated their player base by calling us exploiters for playing the game they designed.

Can you post a link to where you found this info i highlighted in blue? I'm interested in reading about these as well.

Wow!That felt good :smileyvery-happy:

SOE has sucked the energy out of me for this game. I am wiating for the next game and cannot wait to hit cancel. I will never play another SOE game again and will tell everyone who will listen not to play another SOE game.
