The meltdown is real QQ

...I'm probably gonna regret putting in my two cents, but here goes.

It's not that I don't understand the sentiments of the TC and others like them. After having to deal with the arrogant fringes of certain playiers simply chasing damage numbers and getting harrassed (booted from groups/general unpleasantness/etc), the thought of these types of people finally being held accountable thanks to revamp is empowering. Believe me, I get it. Hell, that mindset is why I always run things with League-mates and never with pugs.

However, the further I read this topic, the more I'm convinced that some people are starting to take this 'I told you so' mindset a bit too far. There is no reason for the harassed to become harrassers. All that's going to accomplish is making a Catch-22. As far as I'm concerned, all sides need to take a major step back, be the bigger person, and chill.

This 'Us VS Them' mentality needs to stop, or else this game really will die.

When they get to the point where they were at, the path was set. There may have been a slight tweak here and there but no major change would have taken place. They set the project to do one thing, and it reaches a point in a SLDC where no matter what opinions you give them, it's not going to change because you are way beyond the turn around point. When I tested it on tested, I brought up the nerf on powers and most people laughed and the devs ignored it. I brough up we need an easier way to allot skill points rather than spending an hour hitting button after button to allot the SPs. The devs ignored it. That was the signaling point to me that nothing we say is going to matter at the time it hit test. They were in UAT for the SDLC and unless it was a major catastrophic defect in the build they weren't going to do anything about it. So yes, I tested it, but I'm also a realist that knew they were just playing lip service for any real changes. They want NPCs being able to one shot, and players not being able to one shot.

I disagree. Revamp on Test 1.0 is vastly different than what we have now. That's largely due to player Testing and feedback. examples?

The first version of revamp had a new power for every set that regen's power and you had to put in your loadout instead of a passive regen.

There was no stat tree distinction between pfft, hybrid and weapon mastery. It was assumed everyone was playing some form of hybrid.

CC and general smoothness of gameplay was much less refined and clunky.

Fire had no group pull comparable to Ice's Inescapable Storm

Weapon damage was doing same or less for long combos compared to shorter ones

All these things and several more were additions and changes made with direct input from the player testers. That's not to say there's more they could do for QoL like improving how to spend SP and overall improvements, but to say nothing the players say matters is just plain false.

And those attitudes were even aimed at some of the ones who had tested the content and posted their opinions

What are you talking about? Heck earth has always been great in endgame content....one of the only tanks that is solid in later content...heck one of the best tank powers in the game. They just turned a great tank into a godly tank....enjoy it while you can lol.

Yeah no they are not gonna take back this update no matter what...its here to stay.

I disagree.....those are tweaks... quick fixes. The main things that are being "discussed" here have been ignored because it was most likely in the BA's functionality docs to do it one way. I've seen more "one shots" from NPCs since the "revamp", which goes to conclude the dev team wanted the functionality now to be players get one shotted, but can't one shot. The part where it was asked that we reallocate SPs in bulk instead of single 2 click hits was basically ignored.

"Tweaks"?!?!? You call recreating the entire stat tree for three brand new forms of focus a "tweak"? You call adding a brand new power to Fire a "tweak"? You call completely re-inventing how power regen works across all powersets a "tweak"?!?!?

Ok, now you're straight trolling or worse. Reply or not as you see fit but now you're spewing noise and wasting everyone's time.

Not "trolling" just disagreeing with you. Which probably makes me a bad guy for having a different opinion. Suffice to say, I don't think this is a good revamp, you think it walks on water. As long as you think it walks on water and can do no wrong, we'll always see if from two different point of views. I at least can acknowledge some good things about it, like earth not walking around with the thing's hands anymore.
