- self healing, extra empowers. They took everything the best from GA, Void Gauntlet, Bow, Spear, Ice Gauntlet … almost every weapon and combined them in one … this is Great Sword. I wrote when GS was in PTR, that it’s too OP ? few times, but people called me out xD Were you one of them ?
Problem with balancing light roll is there are two different groups of users.
Light dex w/ rapier who use dodges only to run away and can still escape almost anything, only threatened by things like light nerf + auto melee tracking + greatsword.
And then light mage & assassins who use dodges constantly to fight because they’re usually in the thick of things and now get eaten alive by sns & gs.
Naw, I don’t mess with the PTR lol. It’s setup so poorly. Having to piece together really bad gear, to test something with bad perks.
Really bad way to accurately determine the strength or weakness of something.
And hey, I believe me and you actually agree with something for once

Dont do that to yourself mate.
Do like Elsa and “let it go”
I always expect the worse, if something actually works then its a pleasant surprise.
I don’t keep my hopes up. I have done that mistake before and got let down more times than I can remember.

This is about replacing the current fort capture and tying that change to its nearby military tent to make room for open world hybrid pvpve faction missions that resemble PvP multiplayer game objectives that can be enjoyed regardless of server population. The beauty of this is it negates waiting times, rosters but fixes itself to already existing mechanics making it easier for devs to implement compared to other projects they work on and from other pitches I have seen on the forums. But has much more room for expansions later down the road.
To set the parameters, utilizing the forts and tents are the primary focus. They should be be populated with 10 NPC’s respective to the territories level that ally with the faction that currently controls the fort or tent. With some consideration I find the combination of 1 elite commander, 2 elite captains, 2 archers, 1 rifle-man, 2 sword and shield, 1 great axe, and 1 spear would be a well balanced defense for the NPC population at each structure.
A faction representative should be at the forts and tents for rapid mission deployment but fort and tent reps should offer lesser points than town reps to accomodate for a third faction to attempt to catch up to control a tent or maybe even overtake a fort.
To gain control over the fort or tent instead of the 10 minute king of the hill gameplay which is currently the longest waste of time in gaming history. Instead, the faction that has the most pull in the territory control gets the fort and the faction with the second most control gets the tent.
Faction missions completed from the towns should offer more points to ensure a catch-up mechanic for the third faction.
And here js the kicker to really mix things up. The faction rep is made as a psudo boss character (an elite level 85) if you want to kill this character. You are going to have to earn it but the reward is that the enemy faction can no longer get missions in their fort or tent until it respawns.
Dividing the missions into two categories.
groupers (missions that rally players together, they dont pay much but can be done in rapid succession)
and…
pullers (missions that pull players away from the forts and tents to stimulate a struggle, and they should pay more to discourage players form ignoring them)
THE CONVOY puller - Team fortress two had an escort multiplayer mission where teams had to defend a cart and deliver it to its destination while the other team has to destroy it. I propose a multi caravan convoy that has to travel from the town or border, to the fort or tent which would pull players away from the fort or tents for a certain amount of time. however the enemy faction has to destroy all 3 caravans to prevent a victory. one caravan should have a war horn, one should have a turret and one should have a cannon completely usable.
SABOTAGE grouper - In 5 minutes, teams have to defend the fort while the others have to attempt to tamper with the forts defenses. with visual smoking effects for the already affected equipment. total sabotage of all the equipment is required for victory while defending teams have to repair the equipment.
DEMORALIZE THE ENEMY grouper - Capture the flag between the fort and tent its been tried tested and has held its own for decades as a standard multiplayer PVP game type.
DOUBLE AGENT puller - Intercept the defector, track and capture or eliminate the defector who is currently trying to flee the territory. take the intel carried by the defector and bring it back to your faction rep or take it to the enemy’s faction rep (in town) for no faction points but an increased monetary gain.
SPECIAL DELIVERY grouper - Deliver a caravan loaded with explosives to the enemy’s fort or tent players must physically push the caravan and defend it to succeed.
ASSASSINATE THE COMMANDER grouper - Kill the commander, stealth optional.
SUBTERFUGE grouper - Deliver the fake orders to the corrupt faction rep without being detected by the guards.
Optional puller kill a messenger last reportedly seen in-between the town and the seige, take his letter and deliver it to us for a bonus.
FOOT PAD puller - Circuit race, run and deliver a note to 4 destinations within the timer to receive a reward.
KING OF THE HILL grouper - Hold the middle ground for a collective time of 10 minutes (one man holding position is 20 minutes, two men holding position is 10 minutes, 3 men holding position for 6.66 minutes, 4 men holding position for 5 minutes) and time doesnt reset upon death
Turkey-tag grouper - A flock of turkeys are in the battlefield. we cant let these get us in a fowl mood. take them out. 2 minutes to kill 20 turkeys may the best hunter win. Thanks giving faction event.
RESIDENT CORRUPTED grouper - A micro demon is loose nearby, small but absolutely deadly. take it out. If you die you rise up as one of them with a 50% health debuff but a 125% damage increase. you slowly loose health but gain health per players defeated. you loose the ability to perceive friend from foe except other corrupted, you gain 50% haste for 5 mins and gain a small faction bonus bonus for every man killed. but killing the demon gets you a lot of faction points. HALOWEEN EVENT
ABOMINABLE puller - A yeti has been sited and is turning villagers into frosty abominations. Its too late for them but we have to do something about the threat head over take them out and destroy what is chilling the area. (Large frost spire turret) WINTER EVENT
SHELL SHOCK puller Eggs have been seen around the territory in stange hidden places which normally wouldnt be a problem but these ones explode and spawn evil rabbits. The longer the eggs stay dormant, the more rabbits spawn and the more deadly they become. EASTER EVENT
BATTLE OF THE BANDS grouper play it loud and play it prowd. The teams with the band that earns the better score within proxy to another band wins the rock battle. SUMMER EVENT
the slow on hit always existed, without that melee weapons would never be able to hit a second swing. You are just being affected by the dodge roll range reduction changes.
@Pointe
nah if you have any old vods from like April/May watch em. Old stamina regen plus regenning stamina while jumping was so much better gameplay. It was way faster paced and everything didn’t feel so clunky and slow. Jumping while stam regen should be reverted imo. The inertia on direction change in this game is terrible for how big the hitboxes/tracking are on everything. Being able to change inertia/direction at will with jumping made the game feel way better to play, even in simple things like trying to go up the OPR stairs where I know everyone has fallen off because they can’t steer their boat character model, before you could just jump to correct that terrible clunky feeling now your super punished for it. That change also effected feral rush for some reason and disabled stam regen in feral rush which seems really silly considering you can regen stam in a plethora of other abilities.

Yet you don’t see any assassins complaining about the light roll changes (yet now medium melees can basically one shot them or force them to use all their stam/mobility). Only Ranged players, I wonder why??? zzzzzzz
another one for the nerf GS lunge:
Can’t you still do this with Ctrl(walk)? Like if you tap it before changing direction.
There is just way too much clunk in the game now with a long walking animation when doing basic attacks, a long walking animation when getting hit by a melee attack and a hefty dodge distance reduction on top.
All of this exists while stamina is extremely limited, Melee homing/tracking is absolutely ridiculous and Melee players can’t even get interrupted by 99% of all CC abilities due to being permanently gritted (ab)using the 300 STR bonus.
Playing melee and performing well is super trivial these days and any other build that is not (ab)using rapier or Ice Gauntlet is effectively dead 9 out of 10 times once a melee player is on them because you just can’t f*cking get away anymore. It’s honestly just dumb.
We really need to see some really big and impressive changes this January if they don’t want to fully lose the PvP crowd.
Musket not being hitscan would kill the weapon. But I massively agree on light attack slows
all ranged players that never played any melee whining about melee:
fully biased opinions like these:
oh im a dex boy , i can hit anyone i want 3-5k dmg from 100 m away per click, and if any one jump on me, i can and should be 100% get away and run , pot up , get distance , rinse repeat, how good am I.
yet i played and playing light armor assassin pre and post BS patch and fully think those changed needed.
and i succeed the same in OPR pre and post patch.
light armor schizo suffers most of this change, but i can still get away most of the time, skilled ranged still can get away,
guess it raised the no brainer pewpew run pewpew ceiling, and thats good.
My guess is zero balance changes, and some new BS event that is just another monster in the open field. Oh and Leaderboards.
not update most likely, holiday time.
This
More FS nerf lol
Jebus, really upset some people with the whole slow thing, eh?
