well,as many of you know,TLM is above and beyond overpowered. If you don't think so then oh well.but for those of you that do,just here me out.Everyday,people fight over 100 times.Yet,most of the time,when they run into a TLM then it's like commiting suicide. I just simply ask,in fairness,to actually let other people have a chance of winning.I mean,do you really want an automatic loss every time you face a TLM

Things should be nerfed when they are overpowered.

Should TLM be nerfed if it's overpowered? Yes, it should if it's overpowered. You should join in on the debate to clearly and irrefutably prove without bais that TLM is indeed overpowered.

I don't play as much as I used to, so I don't exactly know, but I know that the above concepts are still true.

@Chosen One i'm not saying that was a stupid post,but you can't argue that at the very least it it OPed. I mean, you must destroy your opponent. if i'm not correct there,then please do correct me,but that does not mean that other TLM's aren't OPed.

@wraith The balance tracker said they perform above level or in layman's terms, OPd.

No, they have been nerfed enough and I beat them with ease.

In the future you should put this in the ED Balance Section

I beat them with ease as well, and even if they are a little above average, I say buff the other classes rather than nerf them. And yeah, this is not the right place to post this.

@sun People suggested buffing CHs and other classes to fix the balance problems with TLMs. Now look at what happened to CH when they got buffed. Buffing the other 5 classes when only one is OPd is a waste of time for everyone. It takes weeks to months to nerf one class. Buffing 5 other classes will take several months to a year. You tell me how long you want to wait. Also, if we keep buffing then battles will be over with the first hit because of increased damages.

Nerfing would make boss NPCs far harder. And buffing doesn't mean to buff DAMAGE; you could buff the defensive skills too/instead.

@AQW Regardless of what gets buffed on a class, it will still take time to buff 5 other classes instead of nerfing one single class.

@ND Mallet Guy

Your right about CH hunter getting buffed too much, but that means there are two OP classes so only four classes would need buffing. Also, I would be fine with waiting a year for all the classes to be equal and at high power since right now I can easily win against Tactical Mercenaries and Cyber Hunters with a Blood Mage, in other words they are not OPed by that much. Nerfs tend to be restrictions and limitations which narrow the build possibilities and make the game more complicated, while buffs can get rid or requirements and thus add more freedom to build making which is what I want.

dun dun dun dun.....

build copying.
remove the options to copy see other player's build ingame and 80%+ of the balance problems will go away.

would heal loop tech mages been nerfed if only ONE person was using it? of course not.
but because of the fact that it was copied and then used by hundreds, it brought too much attention therefor nerfed tech mages.

nerfed field medic.
added agility.

and gave tanks, more power via focus.

what about the old popular gamma str bh
support tech mage
str merc
str tlm
support stlm
str ch
super tank focus ch
dex multishot ch and BH
str bm


all these builds would not be considered OP in their time if build copying did not exist.
because only the one truly smart enough to make such build would be using it.
and not like today's day where u see like the same build being use for diff classes by hundreds of people today.

so if build copying was to be removed, alot of the balance issues would go away. (that will only happen with a little bit of time however. like maybe 4-6 months, and a couple of more lvl caps to wash away the current game builds and strategies.)

@gold HLTM would still have been nerfed if you couldn't see builds. When people find an OPd build they seldom keep it all to themselves. Xendran gave out his build to people, one of which was Angels Holocaust. When a person finds a strong build they will share it to show off how good they are at making builds. Unless you suggest that people get banned for sharing builds, hiding stats will only slow down build copying.

@Gold Slayer

Although I agree completely with your idea, it even makes sense since in real battle you can not see what your apposition will do and this would make battles more interesting, I do not think this would help balance. The idea behind Balance is that you can make a good build with any class, so if someone does find an OP build with a class and no one copies it, there is still a balance issue if only that class has an OP build.

Goldslayer's idea...I disapprove. Firstly, because if you can't see your enemy's build, then you don't know your enemy's class. Second, you won't be able to create a strategy soon enough (imagine a str TLM with the equipment of a dex merc and taking out half your hp on your first turn plus smoke?). Third, if you go first with a strategic (AKA not plain str) build, you won't know your opponent's defenses or offensive power, nor his skills, so you can't start without taking a risk.

ch is Op because of lack of testing.

u cant possibly sit here and say someone suggested plasma armor for ch and they put it ingame not knowing it would be OP. unless they had tested it.


Balance team member 1: "hey i got a great idea"
Balance team member 2: "what is it?"
Balance team member 1: "lets give cyberhunters a hybrid armor, but energy only. and nerf the current hybrid armor"
Balance team member 2: "omg thats totally genius!!!!! we should totally do that. +5 cookies for u"
Balance team member 1: "ohh then nerf tlms and change hybrid armor into a "mineral armor, that is physical only)
Balance team member 2: " ur a genius. idk what we would do without u"

that was his issue.
build copying would have still happened, all he had to do was equip the build and use it in battle.

and if i want to show off how good my build is, ill do it in the battle field.
thats where it should truly count

people getting banned for sharing builds? lol nah
i would change rules in the battle strategy forum tho, saying u cant post ur builds. but ur free to give advice to others.

its not that the class is OP, or the build.
its the PLAYER making the build. if the player makes his build GOOD, and others see thats its good, they WILL copy it.
its not that theres huge balance issues. its just players copying builds. even with no build copying, there will still be balance issues. but nowhere near as big as today.

i remember someone (i think cindy) said that they were going to change their approach of how they balance things.
and start using a chisel instead of a sledge hammer(metaphor) because they were getting too many complains and even more balance issues.

heres the thing tho, u kept using the wrong sledge hammer.

first, thats the whole point of doing this. so u cant see the build and copy it.
to add to that, u cant see the exact build but u can get a rough estimate in battle, by how much hp they have, how much energy, what gear, and what strategy they are using. basically battles will require for u to actually use ur brains. and not just ur fingers.

and as for class, that should be displayed. and if it isn't, theres always char pages.
create a strategy?
u mean like malf, static, strike, massacre? (which ur average ch does no matter what u do to him unless u EMP)

quote:

(imagine a str TLM with the equipment of a dex merc and taking out half your hp on your first turn plus smoke?)

if build copying never existed, u would have never heard of such build in the first place.
and this would force players to use smart builds. versatile ones that can counter attack the enemy's moves.
on a side note: wow that must be some low hp.
and i think u meant str gear (not sure how a dex tlm can take out half ur hp in a turn)

either way u can also tell an enemy's build by his gear.


third
u can tell ur opponents defense by the amount of damage u do on ur first and second turn.
(if my strike is suppose to do 50-55 damage against 0 def. and i deal around 17 damage
that means my enemy has near 33-38 defense. meaning ur gonna have to think quick (and once again use ur brain)
and if ur truly into strategy, take an energy gun that should deal the same damage and then u can find out resistance.
u can also tell an enemy's build by his gear.

and as for offense, u can determine that by how much damage he does to u on the first and second turn.
and how much energy he has.
for example str bms, str bh, str ch super charge tech mage, all tend to have high amounts of energy.
mix high energy with the attacks they're using and u can figure out how good their offense will be.

@gold You'll slow down build copying and make strength builds even more popular since they have no differing strategy at all. Why should I bother making a build and fighting enemies I will have no clue against when I could just spam strength and win without strategy? Also, good luck trying to get the rule about not sharing builds passed. I doubt Barrius would support any limitations to helping out players in need.

definitely slowed down. atleast build copying wont happen involuntarily.

as for str, str is OP now because of the nerfs done to the other build types like support.
field medic wouldn't have needed so many nerfs if it weren't for build copying.

so as far as removing build copying, the staff would also need to make changes to revert damage they have done. like agility, field medic nerfs, and many other factors. i think focus could stay if it were balance a little more to the point where super tanks would have that big of offense thru robot.

i never said limitating the help of players in need.
i said not allowing players to show their personal builds.

example like some versatile tank for juggernaut. with basically a detailed stat by stat along with skill combos.

now if someone in need asked for a good juggernaut build.
u would give him tips like
try high dex and tech to withstand damage. use such and such gear.

ok guys first of all @GoldSlayer has the right idea but it won't do anything. Doing that won't stop friends from sharing builds or like @ND mallet said, people like king drekon for example could put their builds on other sites. And im not going to argue,just because im a CH,it is pretty strong but can be beaten quick. But if you use a CH against a TLM then there is a good 65% chance the TLM will win.But think about all the other classes.other then CH,none of them stand a chance. All im saying is other classes should be given a chance to beat a TLM

well
its better to have a couple of friends using a build like str ch instead of having hundreds.
because lets say 5 people have the same build because they shared it.
and its very good in battle.

people wont complain much about balance over 5 people. basically they wouldn't see str ch as a balance problem if only a couple of people were using it, they would see it as an individual with good build making skills. as opposed to having hundreds of people using the same build, to where it becomes a problem for others who aren't using such a build. and when others use such build then when the game turns into luck. (like who goes first in the massacre game)

@gold Why on earth would you remove all the changes in balance when you remove the ability to look at builds? I can bet you right now that several people as of this moment still have screenshots of old HLTM builds and can find them in no time. Also, making it against the rules to share builds on the forums is limiting help. This game is hard enough for a new player. Let's not make it so they can't see others builds to compare their builds to and see if they're doing good or not. If it weren't for that ability to see other builds and learn from how they were made and what went together and if it weren't for the forums helping out as well, I might not be playing anymore due to losing all the time. My build was atrocious at the beginning.

@GoldSlayer well it won't be just 5 people,once you share it with friends they'll share it with their friends and it would keep going on and on with the same build.

u ever heard of the butterfly effect?

perhaps if there wasn't so much build copying u wouldn't have lost so much
but thats not mentioning the fact that ED doesn't have tutorial on how to play the game.

to add to this, theres also many guides in the forums and wiki like the spread sheets.
damage calculations.
how things are calculated (blocks, crits, deflects, going first)
the skill trees of all classes, how much and what effect does each skill have and at what lvls

all these things are unkown to the new player because ED doesn't have an ingame tutorial on these things.

if i made a really good build, i wouldn't share it. and i dont think others would share it aswell, unless they wanted to have the risk of loosing alot in battle the more they shared it.
