Development Update: The Stats Revamp

Putting in the time to earn SP, farm materials, build mods, pay your lair rent, join a league and maintain the hall buffs should make a significant difference to your combat prowess. Not how many times you can reset the same piece of content in a week.
If you have 2 players with the same CR and skill level but one has all the above buffs and twice the skill points of the other, then you should see at least a 15% difference between them.... IMO

Great side step there Mepps. I guess it is nice to believe that this update will have that effect but if they can't get into groups because they don't meet the standard set by the community, how exactly do you propose they play the whole game to get better?

PLEASE: make earth pet crystal a ranged am, while AFTERSHOCKS will be melee for EARTH pleeease...!

I just read the OP and idk what to say. Undoing everything done in the last 2 years seems silly to me. Its screams more of the same old same old. Annual direction change for the game. Why does this always have to be done? Bring the game back to like it was b4 gu47, simple. I for one am sick of this annual direction change stuff.

Over a year was just spent on midrange and us being told many times it was done to balance the powers and now it all gets undone completely? What? I dont want to be critical or negative but this just scream instability to me.

In fact I think I am annoyed about all this the more I think about it because it just means a longer wait for water, assuming were going still get that.

No I see this as a return to oc days.

Be gone skrubs either man up and learn to play or hit the highway.

This is glorious absolutely glorious

Play with others having the same alleged problem ?

I have no issue with people being at a statistical advantage due to these advantages they earn, my issue is with the community and the ridiculous standards they set to run content that is now beings enforced by these changes. If a fully modded 200+ sp player buffed up through league hall and colas becomes the new standard for content, how are the people who don't meet those requirements going to run content? I know just better to quit the game and not waste the money on content or subscriptions because you have no chance to see the content.

Right now between two players of the same skill and CR there is already a ~25% difference between synth mods and maxed stats as I showed here. If that gap is increased with this update, you should be fine

Mepps, will people still be able to play-from-the-tray dps? Can the people that dislike using weapons still be content?

I've read all the pages I don't think this one's been asked yet.

I still see no response about DoTs. I remember asking about this months ago Mepps and your response was "someone has to be last". Fair enough. Now it's not going to be touched until this update. If this is delayed will you buff the DoT powers?

That is so dramatic lol

In the livestream, Avair mentioned players will be able to play straight from the tray, or use their weapon, or a combination of the two.

Thanks. I can sneak forum use on my phone in at work, but watching livestreams is pushing the boundaries of unemployment.

Any change to the scorecard mepps, please say yes. Biggest issue resulting in less team play and more about being top dps.
