Presence of the Mighty

Please stop what you're doing with presence of the mighty, take everything you've worked on with it and set it to the side. It isn't needed, AOE damage is correctly tuned for PCs hitpoints, resists etc in classic and kunark.

Seconded.

agree

I'd really like to know where the checks and balances are. How on earth can a change this intrusive, unbalanced, and untuned possible make it into a live patch.

Where is the governance in the update process?

You DO realize you have made bards practically useless now right? Hardly anything is resistable at this point so why do we need bards? They should all reroll their class so long as Presence of the Mighty exists.

STOP TOUCHING THINGS. YOU ARE NOT GOOD AT IT.

I completely agree that potm has gone a long way to seriously hurt bards. While bards do have some beneficial buffs outside of resists, resists is definitely their biggest draw to a raid and now that it is almost pointless to even try to resist ae's why have bards other than a few niche groups.

POTM needs to go and it needs to go now IMO - How can you release something that not only is just plain broken but it also basically kills a whole classes main usefulness.

There are still plenty of AEs on a base -0 check that makes it desirable to bring bards. It's just the -150 and the rare -200 ones that essentially have become "unresistable" with the added PoTM debuff.

No one asked for this, the game didn't need this, it was implemented horribly, you should be embarrassed, stop changing the game.

Daybreak is wrong for trying to implement a spell--such as this--that did not exist in classic to begin with. This was never part of the game, and it is indeed a waste of everyone's time. Secondly, they do not have the resources to implement it properly, so it's far worse of a problem because of that.

Daybreak, the best solution to a classic experience is to do less work (not implement spells that never existed) and get better results. You can then reinvest your time into further developing and polishing the game, as to increase the lifespan and increase your financial return on investment. With the high degree of convoluted code you are dealing with, its in your best interest to not modify/add to it when it comes to unnecessary additions.

Your programming decisions are wrong, and your financial decisions because of that are wrong. Please start being right.

Stop with the game, EVERY "balance" change you have done the past 3 months has broken something else that makes the game less enjoyable. then it takes you a month to fix it...

this game has been BROKEN in one way or another for the past 3 months due to your incompetence.

Regen bug, HT bug, PotM bug....

Mabbu for Dev, 2016!

Since coding is hard apparently lets spell this out for the idiot developers - most of the people who are going to quit are going to take multiple accounts with them.

You are bad. You do not test anything you put in place so please don't post it on the "test" forum its clear you're not. IF you do not care about the people playing this game let us know so we can waste our time on another MMO that has real developers. We don't want to play your other pile of games at Daybreak.

In the real world most of you Mcdonalds working would be fired but apparently subpar coding is acceptable.

** I'll be canceling 3 accounts.

Not in Velious yet (LJ) and haven't raided since I came back after a break as guild is MIA mostly, but your stories seem to be horror-stories, jeez. So basically, it's not worth -for raiding- to invest anymore in resists and everyone should basically focus on hit points as everyone will be severely damaged by aoes, even trash mobs ones in Hall of Tests ? Sounds scary...

Resist gear has become basically pointless on anything that doesn't have a 0 resist check. With all my resist gear on, and a bard, after PoTM having 334 MR, I have not resisted a single fear since it went in. It does nothing to slow down the guilds that can field 150+ raiding toons, while it really hurts the ones who raid with 40-60 who were already going to have a tough time in Velious. It's stupid. Take it out.

Sure, so resist gear is now pointless. The classic experience is working as intended. Epic fail, Daybreak. Epic. Fail.

It's really sad that all of this could be avoided by doing nothing, and reverting non-classic additions such as 'the mighty'. Imagine how much more free time your developers would then have to do other meaningful things. You could start by sending them to a training class. Then, they could be used to actually increase your return on investment.

Start thinking of yourself as more of an organization requiring smart financial decisions. Then you'd find yourself not implementing unnecessary changes on progression servers, and you'd make more profit as a company; and, your customers would be happier as a result of not doing unnecessary things.

Remove this stupid change DB.

All the threads on the TLP forums...people arguing back and forth who's right and wrong.

But this thread... Presence of the Mighty is ALWAYS wrong. The people are united.


Love it. Fight on, brothers!

Dear current development team, you're a bunch of idiots and this post details exactly why.

Please revert this monstrosity and stop doing dumb things.

Going to have to agree with pretty much all of the above minus the name calling and pitchfork waving. It was poorly implemented and not needed.

I don't really post on these forums and complain, but this new debuff is a waste. Why was this implemented?

60 people in raid, 8 clerics, experienced raid force downing Gore every week. The new debuff is so bad that we managed to wipe twice before we just moved on. The debuff is too much. Gore isn't even worth the trouble. We can split raid Vox for essentially the same loot. You guys have effectively removed a raid target from Kunark for us.

Please revert this. It's a waste of dev time (that you have now duplicated because you had to fix it once already). You guys don't need to make every aspect of the game harder. We are here to enjoy and play through the content, not spend time doing CR on targets we have been killing for 6+ weeks without issue.

Please Remove the Spell debuff.

Please do NOT buff anything past Velious.

Please do not ruin the game any further. Its annoying.
