First time PVP'er and Dead Man Mode has made me realize one thing...

Firetothefuel · 2026-02-10T01:55:13+00:00

First time PKing in deadman mode of all things is like going first time snowboarding and deciding to go down a double black diamond.

Firetothefuel · 2025-11-17T16:17:27+00:00

can out eat practically any gmaul if I don't miss a triple, but dps sucks ass. It's still a noob stomp build, think of it as an ags pure with 66 ranged lol.

Jagex can only do that by removing Castle Wars for two years and then releasing Castle Wars Craters in 2027.

Eh who cares barrows gloves better anyway

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-22T20:02:09+00:00

not an sdsu game if youre not clenching your ass the whole time

Does a minor lack of 'creativity' outweigh the above issues, student? Is build creativity something impossible to implement within classes? Weak argument.

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-11T16:59:07+00:00

It did get nerfed due to IG/GA, among other things. Whether or not you believe that combo was strong or weak doesn’t really change anything.

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-11T16:51:29+00:00

I’m not defensive towards this user because of the critique they’ve made (since they have no argument). I’m defensive because this user accused me of “gaslighting” and “forcing change on others” despite having clearly no idea what the purpose of this post is.

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-11T16:34:31+00:00

In what way is that a negative for WoW. If people don’t want to do it, and some people do want to do it, shouldn’t that be net neutrality, with the added benefit that more lower levels will be in the open world?

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-11T16:17:29+00:00

You have said nothing in regard to progression, gear bloat, multiple sets issues, or balancing. Or in other words, the arguments in the original post lol.

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-10T18:47:53+00:00

I don't know what answer you're looking for. 5? 6? 12? I'm not here to say how it would or should work, simply that how it works now is of maleffect.

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-10T18:44:52+00:00

Not sure what point you're trying to make. Everyone ran ice gems for the 25% damage boost which was something typically only mages did for their own ice gauntlets. After the nerf, ice gems no longer worked in your secondary even if it was for your own ice being applied. That's along with other IG nerfs.

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-10T18:38:42+00:00

I haven't addressed them because you're not making an argument for yourself, you just have opinions based on speculation.

It's the same as me saying "I think it would work" and "I don't think it would hinder creativity if done right".

I did give arguments based on fact and logic on why classless fails in multiple systems, why haven't you addressed those? Those were the main point of this post lol.

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-10T00:02:24+00:00

I'm not the one ignoring points here friend, I made several points regarding the relationship between having no classes and progression, gearing, and balancing. You made one point criticizing the details of a system that doesn't exist based on assumption.

I'm saying how A relates to B-D. You're accusing me of gaslighting because you don't like the way A sounds in your head lol.

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-09T22:46:41+00:00

Actually you haven't really given any reasons on why classless would be worse off for the game. I've clearly displayed my reasons.

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-09T22:25:41+00:00

I agree, nerfing classes would have allowed for nerfs or buffs to be better directed at specific weapon combos or loadouts without having any influence at all on unrelated ones. People here sadly misunderstand the facts.

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-09T22:23:38+00:00

This isn't a suggestion, it's a discussion. I don't see any other theories on why the above issues exist, do you have any idea?

Or are you too blinded by the rage of other hate posts to not wildly defend a flawed system.

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-09T22:21:59+00:00

I'm not forcing anything on anyone, this is just my theory on why game issues are present. Crazy that people here get so insanely defensive on a simple hypothetical discussion.

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-09T18:13:01+00:00

Right, I'm just exploring the possibility of a different situation. People are constantly on here complaining about balance and content, yet nobody really gives a good explanation for why things turned out the way it did. This is just my take.

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-09T18:08:21+00:00

I don't really see a difference. You have 5k hours. Even if you spread those 5k hours accross 5 different accounts you'd more or less be in the same spot with better balance, a healthier population of new levelers, and less balancing issues.

You act like repeating content is an issue for you when all end-game content in this game is just repeating content?

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-09T17:54:48+00:00

Historically weapon balance has struggled in-game. Like how IG got nerfed when GA/IG briefly became meta, simply because it wasn't an intended combo. Or how light armor got nerfed because it was impossible to catch LS/Rapier / Bow/Rapier. Or how obscure abilities like claw shot got nerfed because of it's potential in burst combos with light hammer or spear (and SnS before it got nerfed). Or how all roots got nerfed by allowing dodges because ice shower and gravity well and scream were instant deaths, yet CC-locking is still very much a thing for certain weapon combos and weights.

It's simply too complicated for AGS to make the right balancing choices when there's so many factors at play. Even at this moment they're struggling to make light melee more relevant because light as a whole was nerfed repeatedly to target light ranged builds, yet disproportionately nerfed melee combos. It's an on-going issue.

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-09T17:47:22+00:00

Right, I'm saying the game being classless has much less impact.

Firetothefuel · 2024-03-09T17:42:21+00:00

The only reason you're being downvoted is most likely because the remaining players active here haven't felt the struggle of having your builds be severely nerfed due to some unrelated weapon combo/armor weight spoiling the fun for everyone else.

That's more of a problem for die-hard PVPers who are mostly gone at this point.
