Thanks for the udpate.

Thoughts on increasing these buff durations to at least 90 mins? Anything at 30 minutes is so low. Especially if the stam cost will be so high.

PvP stamina hit preference is app only?

[sweetlou]

Agreed with lengthening buff duration when stam costs are high.

 

Reserve link is still missing on side panel. I guess I'll have to wait until the next update to use my reserve stam.

 

Is the Gambler skill expected to have any value to players? Frankly, it's a joke to this player.

 

Thankfully because of the time between the last skill addition and this one many players have enough 'reserve' skill points a reset isn't necessary. It wasn't mentioned in the update notice, but lower level players might resent there not being a free skill reset, which has been traditionally given every time. I do however love not having to reset all my skills when skill points are given a forced reset.

Reserve link is still missing on side panel.

you know the stamina value in the top bar links to that right?

 

also mine is working fine, are you sure you haven't hidden it in your theme?

Very much agree with this. It really just creates situations that no one is happy with. Tripling a stat is just absurd... even if something is getting halved.

Not sure what has happened. The link box has appeared again. So, thanks Zue, or whoever if it was for the real time fix if it was that or just a temporary glitch. Miss those days real time fixes with Hoof actually!!

 

On a slightly related note Pointy. I'm desperately missing the Helper for a few days. Not sure what happened. Tamper Monkey maybe? Can't remember where to find the links to reload all the goodies. It's painful going straight game. I'm hooked on the Helper with my old habits. Some help please? Thanks mate!

[PointyHair]

Instructions are here:

Sometimes you have to uninstall and reinstall Tampermonkey, no idea why.

[Maehdros]

Please increase the newly released skills to at least 90 mins similar to Barricade which is also a transfer % buff.

Even longer would be great ( maybe a 120 min stretch? ) if you consider Nightmare Visage has a 1000 minute duration.


New buffs are greatly appreciated and welcomed to the game, but for their respective stam cost and short duration I don't feel they'll be used as frequent due to having to rebuff constantly every hour or so.

Gvgs run 24 hours, Pvp between 1 hour and 24/48 ( ladder) . Related Buffs should be created with that in mind.



Cheers~

Already blocked Gambler since I only see that being used maliciously on opponents.

Hi all, 

 

Thank you for your feedback on this update thus far. We hear your concern about the duration of the new buffs and have taken note to review this. As for the Gambler buff, we thought it would be fun addition to combat and add a little risk to some combat situations. We understand that this might not be the most popular buff in the game, but we want to keep it in and see the feedback on it after some use. 

 

The PvP stamina hit preference is an app only addition. It was added to address the debate as to where to set the default. This was discussed on the previous app update forum. We hope this makes PvP combat smoother when using the app.

 

Thank you again for the feedback provided on this update, we look forward to hearing more as you experience the new additions.

Thanks for the response, i have used this buff in the xmas box and it's strictly for memes. This buff has been in the game for years and there is a reason it was never used. If you are able to run a query to see how many times it has been used, it would be next to none.

 

Now that it is castable, like people said it will be used to greif. Not really any sort of strategy involved in it. There also is absolutely no counter play to it if they get lucky and triple a stat they needed. These types of buffs that have such massive impacts on PvP and PvE based purely on RNG is what people do not like. You may get a good laugh out of it at first, however from that point on not so much.

In regards to GvG which is already a nightmare, having gambler be a castable buff... Please help us now.

alot of end of content players moaning about how much a skill cost and for how long. with extend and reinforce mage tower level 10. dont need long buffs just learn to log in more. and end on content players have loads of spare stam.

People have to sleep atleast 6 hours you know. Buff up, go to sleep and in 60-80 mins they are already off. Which creates situations of attacking defenseless people.

If they wanted us to login more, there wouldn't be such VAST cooldowns on various things. 1 hour to do a PvP hit 24-48H for ladder... i can go on.

If they will reduce the cooldown on all these things... sure okay then.

Move ladder to 6-12 hours, pvp hits to 15 minutes, so on and so forth... 0 complaints from me on duration then.

I don't fully understand your argument about "EOC" or "Max Stam", doesn't seem to correlate to buff duration. If anyone would be suffering it would be the new players without much max stam and not at EOC. Those players not able to cast it themselves will pay high premiums and very frequent.

Avenger - Offense (Lvl 4000)

Avenger 0 / 150   +0.03% per point boost to Attack each time your opponent hits you (Max 5)

You will be eoc soon, so does that mean you will moan too?

new players cant cast them anyway lmao. and as for the ladder. dont need to control it for 24/7 like many do. thats why so many ladders are dead.

That is not the reason why ladders are dead (Might it be there is next to no incentive to join outside of a meaningless medal, might it be the insane pot power creep or might it be the ladder is outdated and unfun? List goes on.) and also i don't think you read the last part of my post. If you think ladder control needs to change through buffs falling off people and them becoming defenseless that sounds really boring. Ladder is already boring to begin with, that is even more mundane in my opinion. 

 

Ladder control should change through skilled play.

Avenger - Offense (Lvl 4000)

+0.03% per point boost to Damage when an opponent hits you (Max 5)

But the "real" buff text says "boost to Attack". 

 

I agree that the duration is pretty low. 

And I only see the "Rage" Icons 

 

Maybe I am bourgeois but 17,5% for gambler looks insane.

This is very disappointing to not be a feature for browser. Please implement this in the very near future.

Yeah, can we get some art for the new buffs on the World Screen? They are all showing as the Rage icon.

 

As for Gambler: this went straight to a blocked skill.
