For some reason my last thread was removed, without any prompt, and I would have felt much better about it had I at least been notified, since this almost feels like I'm being quieted.

Regardless, with the introduction of Knife to Meat You, we get another confirmation that even the devs accept that some form of this idea is required in the system.
It's the admittance that for Spectral Chains and Knife to Meat You, they should be penalized simply for dealing damage, because otherwise you can offload a LOT of damage pretty quickly.

I would like to promote the discussion about it again, or at least would appreciate some acknowledgement that this idea is not at the current scope of balance, since just removing the thread feels a bit disrespectful and unprofessional.

If it's possible, I would appreciate a mod necro-ing the last thread since a lot of effort, as well as the:

quote:

GBI is a board that exists for us to get genuine feedback from players about potential balance issues, using good hard mathematical proof to back your case.

that the forum requires, went into the thread.

Commenting for visibility, if what you say is true then that is honestly surprising from the moderator team/AKs... or it could be that they just accidentally deleted your post? Sooner or later someone should reply to OP.

There would be no point in silencing a GBI thread that is strictly about balance. The forum's automatic deletion of old posts may have kicked in, if it is active in this board.

I'm not sure what thread you're talking about. Was it this thread? Quickcast Re-Balanced

I remember the thread.

I don't remember the exact details, but gavers was talking about successfully inflicted status conditions and how repeated attempts on monsters should be weaker. There was definitely a thread like that.

@In Media Res
The original thread is very likely to be this: http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=22358939 (Taken from the records of Discord)
Opened on the same date as this post: http://forums2.battleon.com/f/fb.asp?m=22358938
Dating the thread at April 6th 2019.
The booster thread hasn't been active since the day after, meaning they theoretically should time out at the same time, but the benefit of the doubt could be given, saying the thread was deliberately pardoned by the mods for the topic being very hot.
So we can take a look the the thread IMR linked: https://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=22360254
Created on April 25th 2019, and last active on on April 28th, this means that being 19 days apart, the Quickcast thread would have been deleted in 9 days had the original thread been deleted immediately before me opening this one.
Unfortunately, again, using Discord's records, there's a message by me, dating 3 and a half months ago on August 5th 2019, that states my threads (since there originally had been two of them) had been deleted: https://i.imgur.com/W8RTXgY.png
While that last bit of evidence could be easily dismissed as even if we assume no ill intent on my part, I could have easily forgot to set the forum display setting to a longer time span, or simply missed the thread, but anything before that remains.

I don't necessarily claim there was tampering, but I would very much appreciate it if there was any official word on the matter, and if that's possible, a necro of my original thread.
