Hi Means

[Hacre]

Jay... another director who know **** about this game mechanic


retarded

How do you equate a GD with a DEVELOPMENT background (Sil had never been a developer iirc) saying the nano is intended to block CH, with him being clueless about the game mechanic?

I'd wager Means (or any FC employee) has more idea about game mechanics than you.

If you don't feel it should block CH, or see a problem with the design around the nano then say so, saying "he don't know s**t y0" just makes you look like an idiot.

So now we have an answer about the nano, yes it is supposed to block CH.

Now the Agent's cause is to deal with how easily the nano can be landed on Agents, or the available tools via the FP system.

Everyone who played/pvp'ed in this game see how retarded and unbalanced 1-2s recharge is for a effective pvp debuff like GTH and RI. So no the developer of this AND everyone who claims this is balanced know Sh*t about ao-pvp-mechanics or just like to have OP toolkits.

Over...

I didn't say it was balanced and neither did Means.

He said it's intended to block CH.

That's why I went on to point out the actual problems with the nano, like how spammable it is.

Funny how you jump at a nano and forget some other retarded toolsets, that you have access to.

Casting FP engi and NSD, is not bothering you, is it?

Sounds like the gd isn't interessted to make pvp balanced?

Atlast you can use your brain to avoid ripper. Plus 2k NR is enought to resist nsd 50 of the time from a agent - wich ticks every 20seconds @ 10 meters.
Use your brain next time when you try to ****talk atlast soldier...

There are retarded AO pvp game mechanics long before GTH or RI even existed, all of which have a lot bigger impact then those 2 silly debuffs.

Nerfing RI to please the will of a few agents will not make pvp balanced. Not by a long shot.

Because complete heal is a fair and balanced defense to start with.

RI, GTH, NSD, triples and so on are barely band aids, a real work on the reasons they have been added is needed to start with.

Bump for a long overdue answer.

Any sane agent would trade RI for Null space in a heartbeat. NSD also doesn't change the fact that RI is spammable either.

Soldiers never have to think and weigh the drawbacks of casting RI before TMSing in front of an agent. They can easily just spam it over and over. You really want an "I win" nano like that?


Anyways it's nice of means to clarify, not sure why that dude was jumping all over him but this nano is imbalanced regardless of TsOrb's rude behavior. The recharge should be much longer and NR check 100%.

AO is DEATH!

Sounds like you have far too much anger than is healthy over a video game.

Read more, post less, if you did this you'd know there's a large rebalancing project in the works.

RI didn't appear under the current regime. Means has already expressed that they're not afraid to change things in the interests of balance.

[Graftmage]

;-o

[Lupusceleri]

What NR?

The same bugged/failing NR that we're using to defend ourselves against your RI spam?

[IHaveHugeNick]

;-o

pre-LE pls

Could be said for more than half of AO forum community

This nano blocks CH. This is intended.

For what its worth, This post came about after a /tell session on RK1 between means and I, the INSINUATION was that it was completely intended that CH blocks RI which is a suprise to noone at all, period.

Though of course it came with THE INSINUATION as to how powerful it is may be up for review as all balance effects are always "up for review"

Took a screen shot though, if anyone cares

Casting FP engi and NSD, is not bothering you, is it?

This shouldnt bother a competent soldier either.

[IHaveHugeNick]

I think anyone sane just has to agree this nano is far too easy to land and too spammable , and showstopper like that looks especially weird in the hands of profession like Soldiers that were never a debuff profession.

CH blocker is a good idea for a nano, but it should be a gamble and a risk for Soldier, not no brainer spamming device.

Maybe it would be even fixed already if so many people would actually discuss how balanced it is instead being in denial and whining for 15 months for clarification of its its maybe broken.

[K1nkstaah]

RI would be a far better to be revised as -50% healing debuff to all heals, on any target.

RI would be a far better to be revised as -50% healing debuff to all heals, on any target.

I think it would be better if it blocked something like HoT's on a player so it would stop that person from being able to be affected by some time delayed healing techniques and maybe reduce the time of heal over time effects.

It would look something like this;
