Ryzom

A few days ago blind 2 would hold hard kipee pretty well in a fight. Tonight (with blind 4) I can blind a mod kipee for about 9 rounds which is fine, then 3-5 after it wears and down to 1-2 rounds eventually. I think it's fine when it goes to 3-5...but by the 4th blind the spell is useless.

Ok this totally SUCKS. It doesn't fix blind like a majority of us wanted, modifying it so creatures can attack. it just NERFS it. How lazy are the devs? Fine they threw in something we complained about, but if ANY of you encourage bad fixes 'just because they happened' you are going to help lead this game to it's self destruction. It's things like these that make me want to quit. and I problably will, and pull everyone at the office who also plays with me, into better balanced and tested games.

I problably wouldn't be so bitter if my own character wasn't so bugged, and I know I've submitted two tickets on it. I've got stun hooked up to 25 credit casting time and some other things so I can use minimal if no sap. But it STILL takes 50 sap a round. Ahrzrarn tested it on his char and it worked fine, no sap taken. This morning it worked again for a few hours then broke again. The GM I talked to said 'oh, all link spells take an amount of sap to work'. So I say 'ok what'sthe point of me increasing the casting time of the damn spell and it still taking 50 sap?' sheesh. So that was the second ticket. As of 13 hours from then it hasn't been fixed. Ahrzarn used the EXACT same setup I ran from my char and I was reading the window to tell him.

So I guess if it works for others, then I, a paying customer am just not a priority. I didn't mind before blind was nerfed, because at least my mage could still do something. Now? I'm screwed unless I'm a stupid nuker which is just what all mages in all the other stupid mmo's start being.

Don't get me wrong, I love ryzom, I run around for hours just to take screen shots because it's so beautiful. The concept and character trees are wonderful. I just wanted to make this post as vehment as possible against the game designers falling into a pattern of BAD BALANCING decisions which has led to the ultimate demise of several very good games.

I don't care HOW it works, Nerfing anything after release is NOT a good move. PUT THE NERF BAT DOWN and walk away.

Wow. Posts like this baffle me. This is a game. If it makes you so pissed off, don't play it. If you feel angry b/c you invested too much time into your character, but you don't like the way he/she's turned out, don't invest anymore time into it. Quit. Stop playing. You're not having fun. It's making you unhappy, obviously. This is supposed to be something that you do for fun, not to increase your blood pressure.

I'm sorry to single you out, because this response is not aimed at you as an individual. There seem to be many, many people like you. This is one post of hundreds in these forums, and they seem endemic to these types of games. Constructive criticism is one thing; whining, *****ing, and temper tantrums b/c something in an evolving game doesn't suit you is childish and unproductive.

why would you want to skill blind 4?

Anyone with blind 1 can hold down lvl 250 mobs

THAT needs to be changed

As far as I know there was no patch yesterday.

And I do know blind and stun worked just the same as they have since launch.

The mages standing behind me as we made the runs from Tryker to Zora and Tryker to Fyros used both blind and stun and not one of them noticed a difference. Both were just as effective as always.

It must just be you considering for some reason your character is bugged.

What games got nerfed so bad they went away? DAoC? One of the most heavily nerfed games in the history of the genre and still going.

I guess if ranting is a way to try to get your point across, you may as well exaggerate beyond reality for added effect.

IF HAVRESTNG ISNT FIXD IN 1 HOUR, mE AND 482 OTHERS WiLL QUIT!

Caps, typos and ridiculously inflated numbers added for effect.

Not too many mmorpg's went away: Earth and Beyond maybe... but it went away because of EA and it wasnt a good game. Horizons? It's still 'alive', not too many people want to play it, but wasnt really a nerf game... just a massive lack of content and very bad followup from the dev team. AC2 is mostly dead, ... but that's due to the stupid billing policy of Microsoft more than anything else.

The games that are played the most are the most nerfed: DAOC/EQ/AO. And they're pretty good... people who whine about nerfs should first ask themselves why the nerf happened in the first place.

As for those who think nerfs are evil, and that other skills/classes/spells should be balanced accordingly to the nerfed one instead... well think twice, why change 99% of a game when 1% is out of balance? Skill inflation is a bad idea, and kills the game more effectively than nerfs.

BTW: FIX AND NERF ARE THE SAME THING. It's only the perception of the person who aggrees or not with the way that it's being fixed that defines it as a fix or nerf.

Don't see what the big fuss is all about...... Blind only lasts a short time. I don't think its game stopping overpowered. Since many mobs baf to groups, and people still die. Also the effect only lasts a few seconds so soloing with blind is quite ridiculous. Ive tried it and its not worth the effort or the sap crystals wasted IMO.

Hang on....I'm a duel wielder and I see people with 2H kill stuff quicker than me... while we are at it... lets be objective and make the playing field truely fair... Nerf 2H weapon damage to be inline with dual dagger wielding
