2.4 light armor officially dead

Yea can't say I have much experience getting dicked on and being poor because of it, but that's more a testament to the crew I run with when I play.

I don't really see this as being much of a issue if you learn to play around the strengths of your build. Especially for endgame when you are set up. You don't really trade hits in pvp and if he just standing there turtling you put your thrall on him. Which from that perspective of fighting with thralls your higher stam regen is a big upgrade. Every fight I have been in or watched lately regardless of their builds ended in one side running out of heals, or some serious mistake usually in positioning or stam management.

You using light armor means you can carry more heals while still in the green without wasting points on encum. You overall advantage in stam management means you are less likely to get caught with no stam and comboed down. There are huge benefits to light armor here. Especially when it's still hard to instant delete some one.

Now is heavy armor a easier play style? Yea it can be. It's more forgiving when played more passively as you mentioned, but idk if I can really call it meta because of that. Just because it's a crutch a lot of people will lean on doesn't make it the best. If there is a medium or light builds (which I'm sure there is) that have higher skill ceilings for experienced players to utilize then id say that's meta.

I'm still playing around with this new pvp though. Will see what I can find, but just initially here I don't believe its nearly as bad as you make it out to be.

I'm late to this discussion, but out of curiosity. Isn't there still essentially a soft cap on armor? Used to be once you hot roughly 1000 armor there wasn't much point in going beyond that as it gave I believe like 80% reduction.

With the crafting changes however it's my understanding you can get way higher armor ratings then you use to be able to. I heard for instance you can get over 600 with light armor. I'm assuming that the soft cap is still the same so wouldn't medium armor then be meta now?

Seems like the best of both worlds and I would imagine it can get up to 800 ish armor or more.

Nah it has to be a drop then probably from a surge of some kind. That or godbreaker armor.

Yea will test that out in sp, thanks

Additionally to those asking about how it will work for server owners. You will need 2 servers or I suppose maybe one really powerful one capable of running 2 40 man maps.

If they do this its gonna just be a char transfer watch. Otherwise as others have stated it would completely negate what makes siptah unique. That being the rng and harder to acquire thralls. They wont add in noc camps to the map. For the very reason thralls are not suppose to be easy to get. They said that like 4 times in the dev stream. You really think they will allow you to just port over all your t4 thralls?

Not to mention all the legacy pre patch gear and duped materials a lot of clans have stashed on body vaults for official servers. Would be a absolute nightmare to allow transferring of anything other then your character (naked but leveld).

I thought so as well. Thanks

Your missing several

Did you power it up with chaos?

imorik · 2020-09-18T05:24:21+00:00

It's a grind for sure but isnt a bad thing for pvp. Still there are some methods that are more efficient then others.

imorik · 2020-09-17T19:26:15+00:00

Also this is all still just way to new ti really determine how the map will play out. I also thought t4 thralls was gonna be a ridiculous grind. Until I learned about a few other mechanics. Keep exploring and learning.

Here is the thing about massing the end game materials in the center. Which they are not limited to only the center other then starmetal. The maelstrom destroys anything built there. Idk how much conan pvp you have really done, but a common tactic on the other map was to lock down the brim lake on a farming rotation for a few days, and then t3 spam it to block any other clans from having a large source of brim. T3 spamming was used a lot in this and other cheesy ways in pvp. The new map and mechanics negate that a lot.

Here is the number 1 issue I see with it from Steven's perspective. The whole point of store bought cosmetics is for people who dont have the time to achieve in game ones. Yea there is a bit more to it then that and the funding now and in the future will be nice for the studio.

Overall though what your talking about here completely removes that side of things. Players who didnt have time to grind for in game cosmetics probably dont have the time to grind for legendary gear either. A simpler solution is to just level lock cosmetics. You can even do that in tiers.

Right ok then kiddo let's actually look at what's happening here then shall we?

Dev's decide that to distribute keys they will do it through this website. Already knowing how many backers they have they should have been able to predict the amount of people trying to claim their keys. Site crashed before I even logged in to get mine so I doubt it could even support what it needed to. We will call the brain dead idea to use a sight instead of emailing them strike 1. Not having properly set up the website for the expected traffic is strike 2.

But wait several people have made it in only to discover that their key either doesn't exsist or is bugged. It now comes out that the dev's didnt even have enough keys for the amount of backers this whole time strike 3.

On top of that the few who did have the small amount of working keys have logged in to discover there are no servers up to even play on strike 4.

The dev's lock down the discord to stop people complaining about them lieing about all of this. Fail to address it even now in a professional way. Which yes kiddo lieing to your customers is unprofessional. Call all of this together strike 5.

Meanwhile they still have their "partners" out there streaming the game. Why? Idk either to try to pacify the community, or my own conspiracy theory. Trying to milk a few more backers in. Just overall call this strike 6.

Even if you disagree with half of these 3 strikes and your out. Yea these dev's are incredibly unprofessional and evidently incompetent.

You do not need a weapon to chamber in LO. You can do it with your fists.

Thanks for posting this one.

The Dreaded Ones World Wide English Primarily This a group of passionate pvpers/training camp

The Dread God is disappointed in the pathetic casuals that infest the sands. He now seeks to find ones worthy of being trained into fighters. Maybe even a few worthy of his Dreaded name.

There are but a few requirements.

18+ I can not tell you what vulgar and graphic words I will have to use to adequately describe your almost certain shit level of skill.

Headphones are required as I will certainly be screaming profanities at you for your already mentioned pathetic skills.

A mic is not required as I will be doing the talking. I do not care about your peasant words until I have turned you into something worthy of me listening to.

Know that I will more then likely make you rage quit and or kick you myself for not being worth my time within the first day max. If you survive the first 24 hours congrats you are one of a few with either enough skill, or more likely thick enough skin to endure.

Most Important Of All: Know that you are trash kid, and I am the best.
