(if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay:
This completely invalidates any playstyle and it’s extremely broken.
It affects all types of PvP, specially Wars.
(if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: No
(if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:
What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:
→ Attacker with a piece of gear with the perk “Nullifying Oblivion”.
→ Attacker with “Oblivion” Skill
→ Opponent with every type of buffs, potions and fields that exists on the game.
→ Have the attacker cast “Oblivion” on the Opponent
If this is intended, please clarify.
If is not intended, my suggestion is to deactivate the perk till it’s fixed.
Can attest to the aforementioned issues listed above. This was extensively tested over the course of four hours with various consumables and rolling status effects.
If this is intended what is supposed to be the counter play to this sort of thing? As currently there is no known counter play to having someone removed every non personal passive buff in the game, if you are melee. Range can just avoid VG users … to an extent, but no one can completely avoid someone forever.
I mean isn’t this is literally what the perk says it does…? Doesn’t seem like a bug. It removes all time duration buffs. Now what I think should be changed is that they are only removed while in the circle and they come back when you exit the circle but it should still disable all time duration buffs like the perk says.
To remove any potions or food would be extremely overpowered in a war (if true). Having large squads rolling void would be a mandatory in wars. And basically make people not buy the best foods because if wasted money.
Imagine honing stones getting removed by this, lol.
But, dude - a single ability with perks can anahilate a 40 min, 40 con food buff. That doesn’t seem right.
It removing buffs <1 min is in line with the design intentions, wouldn’t you agree?
Food stacking buffs is already addressed in the game code to override the lower version
Stacking exploit was fixed (at least it is in patch notes). And A skill on short cooldown that can negate 40min food buffs (attrobute + recovery) is definetely NOT intended. This is now a cancer skill - you come to any PvP flagged person in open world, remove his gathering food buff and walk away. Congrats you just deleted around 150 coins from their account. You can do that again in handful of seconds… In wars this is a strongest skill as it erases any attributes buffs, making many build invalid (for example lowering your attrobute below threshold that gave you something you needed like 300 STR grit or 200 CON 20% armor). This is short cooldown skill that has 20% rend on it (because it can remove that 20% armor from CON), negate grit from 300 STR and so on and so on. Judging that they nerfed sundering shockwave from 20% rend to 10% a skill that does that and so much more is just broken.
