Saying something is for sure going to get nerfed in an MMO is like saying that the sun will rise in the morning. 
Doesn’t mean it “needs” nerfing. Kind of like how all the other weapons, armor pieces, perks, skills, OPR groups, crafting, PvP, PvE, etc that everyone on the forum screams needs nerfing don’t really need nerfing.
It needs fixing. Guard point isn’t being broken by vault kick, rupture is breaking them from stuns like shield bash etc. but yeah let’s release it as is
Glad we agree on something! Progress made! Woot!!
highfive
I thought devs somewhere acknowledged that GS is overtuned.
So it actually should be "un"nerfed before launch?
Niiiiiice!
If you’re gonna troll at least comprehend what you’re reading first
Not trolling. Overtuned seemed like “nerfed too much” to me
To be fair… the word doesn’t appear to actually exist.
They never nerfed it before so the context of the word overtuned would mean they started too high regarding damage or whatever
Ah. I’d have to see where they said that then. Anyone have the link as proof?
I mean, granted… I know proving stuff is frowned on in this forum but I’ll ask anyways just in case.
if you dont know what overtuned means you really shouldnt be a part of this discussion
overtuned = 1. (gaming) Of game characters: having more tools than others.
Gotcha. So the Greatsword comes with lots of free tools? That sounds awesome imho.
What’s the problem there?
You can test it on ptr. So if you cant test it you can make opinion about it.
Exscuse me, what? Light armor shirking meta everywhere, mostly with bows, and this is “good spot” for now? Are we talking serious or we started with jokes?
Don’t you get 20% dmg bonus after onslaught ability, but take 20% more dmg?
read again. not a lot of free tools, but more free tools then others. sure it is fun. oneshotting tanks with blunderbuss was fun to. fighting 10 people with a void blade was fun to. was it healthy tho?
So… the sword “doesn’t” come with free tools? That’s certainly a bummer. Got all excited for a second there
The GS is literally trash when it comes to gapclosing or chasing anybody down.
Yea the dps is strong. As it should be without any real cc or gapcloser which literally every other weapon has
There’s a huge feedback thread dedicated to tuning the greatsword on the PTR, i would suggest putting any and all feedback there. As that is the focus feedback they are looking for.
But you will need to format your feedback a little better for them to pick up on it. They have a guide included.
Some of our greatest minds are theorycrafting, making great suggestions and working hard to make sure that it comes out tuned fairly and that it makes sense. There are spreadsheets comparing damage, skills, cooldowns to all other weapons with videos and great guides already to get you started.
Hope to see you in there!
[Focus Feedback & Bug Reporting] New Weapon: The Greatsword - Public Test Realm - New World Forums
GS is not trash at chasing people down, it has very good range on heavies and their abilities. They have 20% haste from onslaught every 10 seconds, and a gap closer. Not every weapon is supposed to do it all, it’s why we have 2. But id say the GS has too many tools for 1 weapon.
Dude, they pushed reported bugs, why would people still waste energy and time to provide constructive feedback?
Is this time any different? Is this the breakpoint? I hope so. The community was engaged and got slapped more than twice with every patch. If this time is different, we may go back to be part of the process, but so far, since… 1.2 release, all PTR feedback and report was mostly and gruesomely ignored, pushed to live, and we had to suck it up till next patch/patches.
