Not very good stats of dragon weaps and VERY expensive 1200 var... the only good is: 9 enhacements slots...

@supermasivo: They are a bit on the pricy side, but they still aren't that expensive considering they technically count as three weapons apiece. Your essentially buying 3 weapons for the price of 1, or if the extra cost makes you feel it isn't "for the price of 1" then it's at most for the price of 1 and a half.

Either way, if you change class often, those weapons are a good deal.




supermasivo -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 5:17:16)

@Wise ty for reply i got the idea now.




Shadronica -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 5:36:54)

So what happens to my HUGE $$$$ amount of investment? Flushed down the toilet right? Rendered useless? Thanks so much ED way to go!

@Wiseman

In terms of the Illuminator thing, I was responding to this:

quote:

I really hope you can see the flaw in your logic. It isn't a valid argument.


I understand full well that some of you have put money into this game. However at this point I am sure a lot of moderators do not bu Varium any longer. I believe Buffy brought up a good point earlier, which is that your interests are not as much with the player, as they are with your "employer" (quotes because you volunteer, but you still have an allegiance from what I can tell). I thank all of you for your work on the test server etc., and honestly have nothing against any of you moderators. However when you come out and make such a change without ANY heads up or prior notice, it is jarring and I begin to wonder if you really are on the same level as us paying players. I really do get you have put money into this game, but thats not the point. If you look back on this thread you will see countless unhappy customers, and a small handful of people who couldn't care less. I realize this was for balance purposes, but there are much larger problems then a couple of stats. If you are going to readjust all of the enhancement points anyway, why would it even matter? I don't think moderators should be so involved with making decisions for the game itself. You are supposed to be moderating the game, not testing it. To me, it seems as if AE is your employer and you are taking its side without even thinking about how it will effect the players.

My last post may have been somewhat out of line, but when you do things like this, it really does make me wonder quite heavily if your interests truly are with the players. Also, calling me selfish is considered flaming isn't it? Fighting fire with fire I see. Well, I don't think I am all that selfish of a person when I come to expect something that has been made a consistency by past releases.

One last thing:

quote:

You are thinking about the players that have those weapons already, but what about those that cant get them? Ignore them? Leave them to be defeated by the new buffed weapons like lambs to a slaughter?


The more I read this, the more I can associate it with the stat/skill choices made on Tactical Mercenary, rather then the reintroduced seasonal rares. I think you are exaggerating the situation. Whoever did the balance on Tactical Mercenary needs to read that quote, go back and think about what they have done, because TLM is a much bigger short term problem then the buffing of seasonal rares (I would think).

zelemania -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 6:52:53)

Dragonic stuff is nice looking but quite expensive and worse than delta. Other dragon weapons and backtoschool items are useless compared to the recently implemented non rare stuff... I had high expectations about this update, kinda let down now. :(




One Winged Angel1357 -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 8:09:39)

Drago stuff all varium B2School stuff all F2P

difference between the two

Drago is 3 in 1 weps(TY wiseman for a term), two claws, two staffs, three swords, two mauls, two auxs
B2S is one sword, two auxs

anyone else ever get that feeling that we are being forced into something we dont want to do

i get the feeling im being forced to use a sword which was god awful last time i used a sword




Luna_moonraider -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 10:33:40)

quote:

For example, in terms of enhancements, the new system we've adopted is this:

All items have a base of 5 enhancement slots. They are given extra slots for certain things:
- items receive 2 extra slots for being Varium
- items receive 1 extra slot for being Seasonal-Rare
- items receive 2 extra slots for being Limited-Rare or Rare
- items receive 3 extra slots for being a promotion or Ultra-Rare


hmm extra 1 slot eh so wat bout this gun here clicky yes it is a seasonal non varium gun but guess what it has only 4 slot oh 4 slots is a lot lolz hyper talon has 4 slots, spec ops gun has 4 slots if the devs do not intend to buff anymore seasonal rares, i would say the dread cannon is a useless and unusable seasonal rare gun.




edwardvulture -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 11:47:42)

Basically, the weapons arn't going to be buffed.
So my advise for everyone is to stop buying the old seasonal rares as of now, the new ones will have vastly superior stats.




ND Mallet -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 11:50:07)

@edward Actually, Kringle Bot has more stats than it should so the new seasonals will probably be weaker than the old ones(at least the lvl equivalent ones. A lvl 34 new rare will probably be more powerful than a lvl 32 old rare).




frogbones -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 12:00:57)

Knee-jerk releases like this one (and the subsequent attitude/justification by staff), horrible lag, totally imbalanced classes, super delayed releases, overpriced gear, zero communication from the devs----why would anyone continue to play this game in its current state?

All these factors also explain why I haven't bought new gear since Christmastime, and why I'll continue to hold out for the forseeable future.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, and I must apologize to my faction (if I'm still in it, lol): Sorry I haven't been on in several days. I understand if I need to get booted. This game just isn't fun anymore.





Calogero -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 12:03:26)

Just a quick question...
Is it just me or is there an increase of lag since the release of the Draconic weapons?




Xx. Christian .xX -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 12:05:01)

For the people who said the new weps are not good, right now im using draconic devastator and ITS WORKING WITH STRENGTH BUILD but the varium is to high




edwardvulture -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 12:16:20)

Tbh balance was a bad example of not buffing seasonal rares when they release these new draconic weapons which seem perfect for stat spamming.
At least buff the back2school one's because no non-varium gear is overpowered (except mjonir)




Yo son -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 15:25:08)

LOl, you guys would actually send a calender to places like Africa, and Asia; lol, may I ask why? or how much it cost to send these items, to far places like this?




zion -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 15:49:57)

I think this is an important step towards Balance and away from Chaos.

The game has been in developmental stages and every Varium purchase has given players a strong advantage for many months of play.

While I wasn't expecting that buffs would end so abruptly, if its a final step why not do it right away?

There are some weapons that need to be fixed - like dread cannon and frost scimitar - but at least now we know what we will be purchasing with our credits and our money.

Now its simple - go for higher level items and enhance those - sell your old items unless you are a rare hunter.

Just like in Beta when new players asked about Varium - they were told to wait to lvl 30 before purchasing, now I would tell players to do the same - save your Varium until 29 and save enhancements until you have the currently strongest equipment.

Hopefully not too many people are upset - and hopefully the game will grow in a healthy way now that some order is being (re)stored.

TurkishIncubus -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 16:33:22)

Item's stats are horrible , they look awesome but just a failure in my opinion only Draconic Devastator (Staff) can be usefull with caster mage :P




Digital X -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 16:36:02)

I find it pretty useful, and i am not a caster build, i use the energy staff, as it gives dex ^^




Basicball -> RE: =ED= Design Notes August 30th - A Draconic Design Notes (9/3/2011 16:50:02)
