is this real?
i really dont understand the gimping. should just be open class, open build, 1 full inventory of goodies, pick your poison(build), hope you last forever. if its too problematic put a cap on mana orbs. ... it isn't any wonder the world is 1/2 half-orcs.
I'm not understanding this at all. In fact, I'm slightly confused. Casters are VERY powerful in pvp especially but no one plays them because they are difficult to play and dont wield huge swords/armor that look flashy. Caster types do have issues but its not for this discussion. I will add on to that with Reaper being a 2x winner so far of regular KOTH and he is a caster who has killed melee AGAINST div even. Priests and Minstrels get handicaps already with no healing song and only 2 of the best priest heal, but the heal rule is for everyone. Cerebrus is VERY fair and tries hard to make sure everyone appreciates his game.
Maybe I'm not understanding this correctly either but you are saying that in a fair fight you should be able to use potions of mana or HP? That sounds utterly insane. Then it's not about a class vs a class, it's about a class and potions vs a class and potions. This event at its bare bones is a 1v1 tournament where everyone has multiple chances(Killing streak or winning) to get PP. The world isn't ruled by half-orcs, it's ruled by people who aren't even trying to play the game. You can level something but if someone is actually playing the game they are thinking of counters or specific strategies...or just alliances to help progress deeper in to things. There are so many factors to this game that people do not consider. If people were to look at the messages boards, read developers logs and join in on conversation about changes and balancing then maybe they wouldn't feel like they just have no chance or say so in how things are.
Nighthawk is a VERY respectable guy and has given us so many chances to voice our opinions and put up numbers etc to help him out. Keep in mind that this is a work in progress and has been for a while. Not everything is a gravy train, but a balancing act.
Do you have a level 25 character that you've played with in KOTH and others events so that way you can give us factual information based on your performance and replicated it via other skirmishes/battles? If so...please let me know.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
