When i'm reading these changes I often wonder WTF you guys are thinking... Like do you even PLAY this game ? ?
Then I remember that you couldn't even get a fracking CITY RAID working & then it all makes sense.

They have stated intentions to change not only the played chars but mobs and such as well. So it sounds like every aspect of the game is subject to change and we can't judge the noted changes based on anything in game and known today. Due to that we can't look at these proposed changed and offer much of any critique beyond very general stuff, if that even, as we haven't a clue as to any of the other countless possible changes they have planed.
----------------------------------
They do though. Mind you in general the idea they seem to go for in PvM is make it for more general chars and non-ideal groups. Then along come the fully twinked ideal teams and those people gripe how easy it was. This is why it'd be good if more things had difficulty options or scaled to the group in some fashion. Can't do it for everything but with so much being instanced it'd be nice and could work for that stuff at least.

all i meant in the last 2 posts was trying to advocate for the pvp reballance, since some said it will interfere with pvm ballance too much, and the majority of players are pvmers not carying at all about pvp
PS. any chance for a confimation if 50% NR check on Program Override is just a typo or intended?

i would personally love to see what they intend to do with soldiers. if they follow the same pattern of level locking certain nano's and/or adding team versions to certain nano's, it may not be only a soldier qq fest. if for example rrfe becomes level locked, and/or was changed to an rk team reflect aura, the last people to cry about it would be soldiers, especially considering most people don't actually play their toons from level 80-160 anyhow.
wtf happened to my avatars eyebrows?
I used to listen to Dubstep in the 90's... every time I connected to the internet.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read, or who said it, even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

if they fix it so it does what its supposed to do and no turn off nearly every defensive perks, then yeah have fun with 50% NR check
right now PO is as broken as a nano can be
Yeah, but that's true of anyone who suddenly finds that they are no longer "flavor of the month."
You know what would be most excellent?
MPs getting an "Emo overload" nano, that lurks in the target's NCU for 5 hours--and turns MR into a 15k self-nuke.
The whining of all the people who wanted to combine MR with ranged specials will be epic.
Very much so. That's why soldiers are so good at it.
Several times they were boosted to a point where you just leech your way up to 220, slap on some cheap armour, equip anything that goes pew and be a monster in PvP. Then, they drop some and find they have difficulties in come situations. The instant rage of everyone who finds himself no longer a god amongst men is quite satisfying.
Enforcers fall into that category as well. Most of the ones who whine the hardest rolled their enforcer as their new main because it was so freaking powerful. The fact they are complaining so much now is rather funny, actually. It's literally called a 'balance' patch. How, for some reason, a profession that is at the top of the food chain manages to be surprised they are getting toned down a bit is stunning, really.
Most other professions never had that godlike status and don't think that not being able to defeat every profession reliably 1v1 is that big a deal, it's the status-quo. Much less consider loosing a 2v1 fight means something is wrong.

That's not the problem though. If noone invites you, you can be as uber as you want, you won't do anything except org or bot stuff.
Worst must be for MPs. It's a great profession with good damage, medium heals/calms and strong debuffs. Yet, noone invite them. Why? Because FC made sure that all the new encounters are immune to their toolset. They didn't it on purpose but it's how it ended.
Same for DD in general. Everyone is DD in AO now and there's no need for pure DD professions at all. They just make it faster but they aren't required. The main (only?) defense mobs have is HP.
AO PvE balance is worse than its PvP.
blah
that soooo reminds me about stun procs nerf and half the crats on this forums
nah, i meant will it be op'ed beyond ridiculous or is it just a typo
im sure youre able to see what going down from 175% to 50% nr check will/would do, and this nano cancels buffs for ffs, if you claim this is ok, id like to see what you'd say if they made a 50% NR check Epsilon Purge
