Hi-eeeeee.
Don't worry Funcom, this costumer won't flame u and cuse at u and call u a stupid company yadda yadda yadda...i'm here to be constructive.
Concerning the crit buff nerf.
Like Mr. Godager wrote in his team guide thingy...
"MA: Crit buff"
Crit buffs is the ONLY reason why we aren't replaced by enforcers.
If u add those extra lines of crit buffs for group members, it will prolly only be a 4 percent increase, thus halfing the chance of a crit, done by team members. But isn't this what grouping is all about? Doing enourmous damage?
It's not a harsh nerf at all since MA's are still to keep their crit buffs. But i'm sure crit buffs will greatly promote teaming, specially in team missions where the heat goes up alot. Besides... crit buffs safe ammo...
I udnerstand that it somewhat overweights the might of NPC's..even red ones..if 6 players in a group all have a crit buff.
6 times 8= 48 percent. Every third/ second hit is a crit.
But this will greatly encourage poeple to group.
As for the nerfing of krys knives:
I understand that u poeple r nerfing kryss knives, due to the fact that they can be used to "twink" level 1 chars to give them a head start.... But making them No drop will ultimately turn them into a "dlete immidiatly" item sicne they don't sell for anything. If u wish to do this, please give us a reason of why this useless item even exists in the game? I'd be inyterested if u can combine those "serums" at the general store with krys knives to make like... fatal one time use daggers..that would make Pharmatek even more useful... =)
As for Over-equipping:
God bless Funcom. THere will be alot of agents stalking me and popping a bullet into my head for saying this....but PRAISE FUNCOM. =)
I-P reallocation? THis is the ultimate gift Funcom could give us...honestly..i'd forgive everything they did to us....
Grid armour: The reason why funcom is nerfing grid armour is due to the "over-equipping policy". If u have lower requirements on the armour then those requirements of what u need to cast the armour, then that means that the armour would be less useful then is intended due to the 20 % penalty.
=)
MA's using duel wield Martial art skills......
Erm... i tried out all possible higher QL MA weapons myself... and my conclusion:
They are useless. They may make me do more hits then usual, but my damage output is lower. They also suck up alot of I.P. AND they also disable my special attacks. And Doesn't the speed get slowed down cuz it's 40 percent Melee Init?
If u decide to add a martial arts duel wield skill, why would a MA use a weapon then? nothing more then a complete waste of I.P.. Unless ofcourse u decide to increase the damage output of the weapons EXSTENSIVLY. eherm.. heh.
I mean..think about it. MA use no weapons..they don't sit in Omni-Ent BB all day trying to buy a weapon for themselves..and if they find the perfect one...heaps of auctions come and u end up paying 10 times more then the weapon would normally sell in a normal shop... Our weapon grows along with us as our Char progresses. =) We don't need updated armour due to our AC buffs. Our crit buffs act as our "full autos".
Why......WHY in the entire Galaxy, would an MA want to swtich to a weapon, which needs even more skill?
Please add more MA weapons before adding skills... poeple are very sensitive of "requirements" for weapons as it is.... Thank you.
And now for Funcom's work...
A word of encouragement guys. =)
U have lost alot of Players... - don't worry guys. They were the little kids from next door... their better off else-where. Ur vision does not deserve such ... ignorance. ALOT..belemme..ALOT of players will return to AO cuz no other game can use "I.P. RE-allocation" ( Asherons call... Neocron... other what-nots...)
HEAPS and HEAPS of trolls on the boards making sorting out and filtering and searching for constructive arguments and debates hard? You poeple have ALL RIGHTS to censor and moderate the messages. Absolutly. THis is not a fascist regime against complaining poeple..this is not a ...moncarchy, ingorning the servants and peasants...
THis is a company, providing a service. Have any idea how hard such an industry is? Wake up.... Imagine how hurt those peeps r at funcom after yards and yards of flaming..i mean..why is Funcom eating up all this BS? i feel so so so sorry for those hard working skilled poeple.
So, if u want ur message to get through, write a decent title and be constructive.. like... Chronica..the MA.... or some other very good and decent poeple, who DO help FUncom make the world better.
But no.... just vent out on Funcom why doncha.... *rolls her eyes*. Their human 2...
See how human they really are:
Gaudiger:" Wanna use IP Re-allocation to make ur implants, then move all I.P. to Treatment and base skills and stick'em in? Fine."
He's not a nerfer.... He's one of us.
Keep up the good work Funcom. Keep da faith. Oh and this is for Ragnar Tornquist:

P.S.
I.P re-allocation will leave other RPG games have their jaws laying on the floor. Set an example. =)
