As long as CHs get nerfed too I'm happy with this balance update (I will stay TLM)

@Ashari Really? Now we are gonna lose smoke? Great. I hope CHs have their SC massively nerfed then. Since we TLMs are getting a big nerf now! @darky14 It is a nerf. Field Commander is utterly useless at high levels thx to Azrael Bot. All buffs are useless at high lvls. Debuffs are nearly useless because of everyone having Rusted Assualt Bot but still. It cost a turn to debuff a debuff. Meaning a whole turn without taking any damage. While using Azrael Bot you will take damage and have your buff debuffed. Therefore this is a massive nerf to TLMs. So I'll be expecting CHs to get nerfed badly on their OPed Static Charge.

@8x
Yup they will, we just didn't get details on exact nerf. But I'm betting Plasma will stay just like Mineral does on TLM, so probably Malf will be gone and nerf to SC (maybe 3 turn cooldown and lower regen than nor OR making it passive, perhaps Energy BL so all builds have advantage of SC - not just Str).
Besides many people change for power, I have TLM and CH and my TLM already has new build for the change (Poison! :D) and CH will see what's gonna change and try to make one too.

Kinda pity creativity is coming back, so many people are unhappy. [/sarcasm] xD

I do like how people are sat here complaining about staff not making it on here and instead using Twitter and Facebook. At the same time, you're demonstrating the exact reason why they don't come on here often. I tell you the facts, you tell me I'm wrong, it's exactly the same as if the Devs were here, they'd tell you exactly how things were, and you tell they're wrong. It's happened so many times before, and it still happens, yet you still don't get the idea. Many members on this forum don't treat Forum AK's or Mods with respect, many tell them that they are wrong, when they are just stating the facts, some even send them abusive PM's or post in a derogatory manor. If that's how you treat the forum staff, then I really do not blame the Devs from not wanting to intervene.

If you look at how this just went, I stated that:
Fact: The staff are not biased towards any side, it's just how the story line goes, Legion won the war fair and square, if the staff were biased, they didn't do a very good job of it. We run the game, if we really wanted one side to win, then they would have won, simple as that.
Fact: Buying a package every time there is a new promo is no compulsory, it is your choice, if you don't want it, then you don't have to get it. If you want all the latest items, then that is also your choice, we release them as an added bonus with the package, so you get something extra for your money, if you don't want that, then don't buy it.
Fact: When Charfade mentioned the whole Exile thing, she made it ever so clear it was just a joke, if you took it seriously, or want to take it seriously, then I advise strongly that you go to your local store and buy a sense of humor, because the context it was in really couldn't have made it any more obvious it wasn't meant seriously.
Fact: Last time the Devs tried to be active here, they just got spammed with questions, insults and flaming, when they couldn't answer every ones questions, they then got flamed more. Do you really think they enjoy going through that experience, and they want to be put through it over and over again? Because I don't think so.

Now each of those points, I have laid out exactly how they are, those are not opinions, they are facts, they can be argued, but no amount of arguing is going to change them at all. Cinderella is a Dev, she is in charge of Public Relations, and she does an amazing job of keeping everyone up to date, Ashari also tries very hard to do this, and Charfade always pops on when she has the time. We all have direct contact with each member of staff, so what we tell you will be precisely how it is, nothing else. Arguing with that is like me saying 'Planes can fly', and you arguing that I am completely wrong, when it obviously is true. The problem I have is it's always the same people every single time, a lot of the forum have learnt that we try our hardest to inform you, when we know about something, we'll post it here. That's why the bug process on the whole 'saving start position in home' bug was shared on here, not on twitter. Other bugs aren't usually as big as that, and they just get included on twitter, and then that is usually posted on here in this discussion or the staff information topic. What is said here is read by us, staff, while the Devs make the game. We pass information from the Devs to you, and from you to the Devs. You do have a direct link to the Devs, yet you insist that you don't. Over the past few months, no end of forum suggestions have been put in, many of the releases players have been saying how brilliant they are and that we're finally listening. Coincidentally, that just happened to be the time when the least flaming and arguing with staff went on, and the most constructive feedback was given. Now we're wandering back into the old realms of nonproductiveness, where you'll happily blame us for all the mistakes, when we've proven the onus is on you to behave. You behave, give good feedback respectively, we read more, we pass on more, more forum ideas used. It's as simple as that, by the way, that also was a 'Fact:', so don't even try arguing with it, because all the facts back up that fact, and once again, you'll be backing up everything I stated in this post, so before replying with the usual, I'd think about what you're typing.

Thank you!


Your long posts are boooring.

Your facts are wrong. Well some of them at least. You don't even call them facts at all. Charfade was joking about the reward thing, not her being an Exile fan, a very dedicated one. I have proof too, so don't try arguing with me. It's ok, I don't blame her or NW for being goodie-two-shoes on their own games, it's the reputation they have here that makes them biased. That there, is wrong. Not is it only bad business, it's bad for the Legion players and as Developers, they (by they, I mean they, not you, not the staff, the DEVELOPERS) need to be as "fair" as they can be. If that means keeping their true spirit inside them, good, because screaming EXILE!! in a livestream and re-tweeting Exile made vids is bad. Bad for a Legion player. A legion player that is willing to spend up to 1000$+ for an achievement/their side winning.

Another fact would be the developers being hated and harassed in forums. It's true, no argument on the fact part. They also have many followers and fans as seen in Twitter or Facebook. Also, as Algorithm stated before, it would be their duty to inform us, the players, on the progress of any major bug issue or that sort of thing (AT LEAST that). You might say we have Cinderella as a Public Relations representative....ok, I get it, I like it. Where was her post to inform us about the recent Leaderboard bug? Nightwraith made a whole thread just to inform people about a faction hack that happened to a certain faction and Cindy won't make a thread to inform us of a bug that is affecting us all and the progress on it? K

I do NOT mean you whatsoever. If you respond, I'd like you to speak in their name.

@ Rayman


That's not a solution at all. FC has the worst increase from stat points than any other buff skill. PLUS, with those changes to our stat point a while back it takes even more strength to increase your damage range. So TLM will get the weakest buff skill and lose their nerf skill??

If that's what balance is, I fear for all the Epic Duel classes.

When you look at these skills on the Epic Duel Wiki you can clearly see that FC is the worst out of them. It has the 2nd highest mana cost, ties for the highest amount of a stat for improvement and doesn't even do more than 2 things.

Reflex= Energy regain, more Blocks and less physical damage taken, improves skills that increase with dexterity, ie cheap shot (unblock able)
Technician= Better deflection rate, more bot damage, and less energy damage taken, improves skills that increase with technology, ie plasma rain (unblock able).
Field Commander= Primary does more damage, side arm does more damage, improves skills that increase with strength, but those skills are basically all block able outside of massacre and firebolt. Which, those 2 skills would only improve in 2v2 since neither of those classes have FC.

Its clear as day that TLM are getting the shaft...

Nope. Static Charge is OP combined with Plasma Armor. That is a fact. You can regain 23 energy from 9 damage. Or 20 energy from 3 damage! That is OP. If you do not think that then you are either joking or know it and like being OP. Or for some random unknown reason you honestly don't think it is OP which I find very hard to believe. CHs are OP as simple as that anyone who says other wise either is joking,knows it and likes being OP or clearly doesn't know what they are talking about.

@Smackie El Frog 100% correct.

@andy123 Because I was suggesting buffs at that time. And I was sick of getting nerfed I knew we TLMs where OP and I suggested making everyone OP then. So then no one would be OP. But now I can see that plan will never happen. So now I'm just gonna side with nerfing instead of buffing now since my idea will never happen. So since we TLMs are OP ok nerf us and nerf CHs aswell. But do not destroy us like this update will do. Without smoke we will be the only class without a debuff skill and have the weakest buff skill! That is messed up.

Directed at TLMs.

After 8 months of OPed ness and beating up on CHs, you get nerfed. You cry like a baby. You deny CH the right t compete fairly, even if for a few months.

Then before CH, you guys were the ones demanding that TLM not be nerfed.

Can I lol harder?

So you are saying that the synergy is OP, no? Then we should remove Plasma Armour, yes?

quote:

Let us use your instance in a Static Charge calculation, shall we? We will assume that since you are in level range of the level cap, that the player was a level 34. His/her Primary damage could be as high as 35 damage, but we will say 34. We will also assume that they use a max Static Charge level at 44% since they want that much energy in the first place.

23 Energy = (34 + n) * 0.44

34 + n = 23 / 0.44

n = 53 - 34

Since n = 19

Therefore, the minimum base Strength range of this player is 19-23 damage. This Cyber Hunter needs a minimum of 82 Strength for this instance to be valid. The only players possible of achieving this amount of Strength damage is a Strength abuser or Focus player. Not only that, but you said that he/she dealt 9 damage. 53 minimum damage - 9 = 44. Therefore, the target of the Static Charge had a defense or resistance in range of 44 points. You call that OP? What up. When has 9 damage and 23 energy not included a ludicrous defense or resistance? From this information it is clear that the damage was worth the energy... and because of this the Static Charge is officially not OP due to the restraints of damage VS. shielding.

I have nothing more to say, please use courtesy in your future messages. I agree that Cyber Hunters are powerful, but there is more ways than 1 to skin a clown.

Someone has some great logic here.

You complaining about trading a useless skill for a useless skill that is called a lateral move not a nerf. Also Varium have Azrael Bot F2P's do not and F2P's have Rusty while most Varium do not use it so you are just going back to beating on F2P's like you did before Rusty came out so what is the problem here.

@Zeoth Yes the synergy or whatever its called between Plasma Armor and Static Charge is why they are OP. I won't stop speaking my opinions until they do something about this. @Void Then it was a bug. But I know I saw a CH regain 23 energy from 9 damage. @OWA Smoke Screen isn't useless. I said it was nearly useless but it still has more value then FC. Especially against NPCs. Did you even bother to read what I said beyond that part of the post? Besides not everyone has Rusted Assualt Bot.

That was not a bug. It is perfectly relative and concedes the skill logic. You may have seen a Cyber Hunter gain 23 energy from a static charge and only do 9 damage to health, but his target had around 40-50 defense or resistance.
