COMBAT is just CERTAIN DEATH, thats all....

[gillest]

Just copying answer in another thread cos i think its very very big problem atm.
I dont mean to spam anything: I love the game (I still do but I hate new combat system) but this need to be said again and again: Nevrax proved us they listen and can take out advises into account so hopefully thie should be sorted out soon..


Before Patch 1: was already kinda hard (i do agree with the blind spell overpowering: was kinda too easy with a good mage).
Combat wasnt so easy already: Mobs with very high HP and hitting reasonnably hard before episode 1).
I used to fight grunting raspal in team at lvl 102 melee and was happy to have healer around )
After Patch 1: strangely enough patch 1 wasnt that bad for low lvl mobs: maybe a bit too easy but CAREFUL (easy for low lvl mobs apparently: I called low levels up to grunting raspals: 3 of us to kill granting raspal with myself as a tank with lvl 102 2h melee; for higher mobs wasnt good apparently: very high lvl guildees in team of 9 were losing tanks at every fights).
Advantage after patch 1 for medium lvl mobs were that the increased strengh was compensated by lower HP. Results wasnt good i agree: mobs hiting more but easier to kill; apart self-heal spell apparently who increased challenge..).
After patch of the patch (version 19): As I said previously lvl 102 2h melee, the worst situation ever: arriving at border of Majestic and Fleeting gardens i encounter the usuals poor gingo and ragus.. POOR? : not anymore....by the time i swap mage gloves with 2h weap I m already face on the ground.
I accept DP, respawn in avalae, equip my 2h mace q99 and go back.
First gingo I kill (REVENGE LOL) i get 1xp (no good to clear 50ish k DP), i turn around 1 more gingo and 2 ragus.... RESULT? 100K DP..............face on the floor again....
Cant believe it: those mobs give me 1xp and kill me in 4 hits (this is a joke but this inst funny....).

Nevrax heard and actionned problems on harvesting, and many other, now a bigger problem arise: patch of the patch made mobs far far far to hard: its not GOO increase Its GOO shoot....(big time overdose): 2-3 mobs q17 taking down a lvl 102 melee???? please stop that...

Before episode 1, i have been hit over 3k damage by some mobs in Prime Roots.. What now: they just smile and I die or what???

I posted here cos the thread said "we dont want to put pressure, just give feedback" which I think is best way to communicate.
Now this is too much: Do i have to just be a harvester despite my 102 melee (I m not gonna fight nay mobs anmore till something Happens.....).

PLEASE SORT FIGHTING OUT: was real hard before patch 1, now its just put of hand and not fun anymore: cumulating 200K DP in Primr Roots of Knoll of Dissent im ok with that (done 100 times more before :..
Cummulating 200k DP at border of majectic and fleeting IS A JOKE....and with my melee level I dont want to imagine what new player are going through at the moment..
Please fix it...
let us enjoy SoR again please.

I AGREE. FIX THE DAMN THING THE WAY IT WAS STOP WITH THIS UTTER STUPIDITY.

frustration leads to anger, anger leads to enragement. you do not want to know what comes after.

There is no doubt that the combat changes in patch 1 did not turn out well. There is no need to argue that at all.

I can honestly say, however, that in the early months of the other dozen or so MMOs I have tried I have seen problems this bad or worse. I still feel that Nevrax will have combat back to being playable before the weekend is out. Some companies have left customers with bad problems for months. I do not think we will be facing that.

Yes Dalwin, I have personally great hope-trust about this myself
I am usually very happy with this game. which make I play more (much much more) than I post on the forum.
Just that such a big issue woke up my instinct of claiming for me and my kind (all the homins of Atys )
