Thread: Monthly Development Update - August 2015 (Pyramid Scheming)

    What they should do is make it such that everyone can only be hit by one special of that type every X amount of time. As in, you can only be hit by an AS once every 5 seconds, FA every 5 seconds etc etc for all the specials. That would kill off the multiboxers just insta-gibbing anyone with a team of 6 agents and what not, however it would hurt it in normal pvp where it ties into multi-person pvp.

    However good show Michi.

    Seriously? Bad taste and a fail. This change only hurts regular players and does NOTHING to hamper MB's.

    I will give you a day or 2 to figure out the work around I instantly thought of and I don't even MB.

    You can not curb MB without destroying team pvp PERIOD. It is not possible. As long as aimed shot or any special caps 30% you will never eliminate MB's. You guys are so worked up about MB's yet you ignore the easiest way to defeat them, instead you ask the gd to change the rules instead of adapting. This change does nothing, a simple TAB and all the MB toons standing in same spot are targeting the nearest player ANYWAY omfg. You are cheering the removal of any chance for a TEAM to defeat a single MB tower defender before getting insta ganked. Hilarious

    That is exactly the part I took from Michi's posts. Finally they're given the right name. Nothing against people with two hundred accounts (hey, actually, thanks!). But MBing, nah.

    I am glad multiboxing is getting a nerf on the PVP aspect.. Imo it's fine to do aslong as it doesn't ruin other players their gaming experience.

    This is exactly what I was going to post about...looks like a very firm answer on the MB in pvp matter.

While this will drastically change how certain PvP venues operate, we feel this change will make PvP feel more engaging and less automated.
    Awesome!
    Don't forget to nerf /follow in 25% zones too. It's still possible to make movement "automated", but its much harder for MBers compared to selecting target.

    This is why ao pvp is retarded. It's either /assist + q or tab + q.
    selecting your targets manually and based on encounter is for those lesser games that doesnt need 1 person to tell who the sheeps are going to spam aimed shots at.

    disabling /assist is one of the biggest steps towards modern pvp where individual choices matter.
