Rules & development / Re: Ruleversion 1.2

« on: March 06, 2013, 01:23:49 am  »

I think it's going to be so hard to balance things out, but it might be possible. However, we can't take this approach of removing all the emblematic skills of each class. You guys have gone too far.. The rules WD vs DH are just nonsense, I wonder who the hell came out with those ideas xD. I know you guys are doing a great job, and I appreciate it, but those are so imba.

Balance can be achieved being subtle...

WD vs Barb, removing hex and maybe voodoo slam dance, and WotB might be enough
WD vs DH, removing dogs might be enough.
WD vs Wiz, removing either SW or SV.
WD vs Monk, removing either SW or SV.

And things like this... You should go step by step, in my honest opinion. Adding new rules if balance hasn't been achieved. I wonder who tested the rules and came up with these ideas because they are not realistic.

And be careful with the rules because you can't make people's gear useless... That's blizzard's job lol. So banning the use of shield, as well as banning inspiring presence, shouldn't get to the final list. If a barbarian has 3k regen on gear, then inspiring presence is banned, or something like this, but don't ban this passive straight away because some people have been gearing for this, and you just wipe their effort.

Besides, don't get personal and start offending people, for that we can all go to the official forums .

@Euronymous, I never said it's fun,  but it gives wizard a possibility of beating a top WD. This possibility atm doesn't exist. Or at least, I haven't bumped into any wizard that gets me into trouble.

But, I couldn't agree more with you, Euronymous, there's not much left to say. People are drawing conclusions from 20 minutes of testing and, imo, very biased. Nobody wants to be nerfed.

But the truth is, and I've been testing all morning, these rules are trying to balance "imbalanced characters." First, people should look at their characters and try to come up with the right gear & skills. When this is achieved, rules will be easier to make. I know tanky dhs that use 1h & shield that would be a big problem with some coherent rules like "banning dogs and spirit vessel". Not current suggestions with massive nerfs.

In addition, banning inspiring presence and making people's gear useless is a fail. You can't take such measures.

I haven't understood completely the thing about pets. If both are banned then there's no way a WD can beat a equally geared DH. From my testing with Captain, banning dogs should be enough versus DH. And thats pretty much it. Banning shield, hex or horrify, spirit walk or spirit vessel and both pets it's a joke. Don't know who came with these ideas, but to stop rage you should rename the topic to "suggestions/ideas for future rules, please help us testing."

OK, add me ingame, I need BARBARIANS to test rules.

WD vs DH rules =  JOKE.

Rules & development / Re: Gear Swap and Not accepting challenges.

Switching main hand & offhand might be a good step forward, but it should apply to the whole set. It's pretty noticeable when somebody changes the whole set.

Besides, I totally agree with Devil. We must all aim at a perfect spec that can deal with many situations, and not just run around inspecting opponent during battle and switching those items you feel necessary. That is just so stupid.

On the other hand, I still don't get the walkover thing. It just means that the duel is cancelled? I had a challenge for days, it wasn't conducted, and I see today that it's been cancelled. This should not happen. It's not fair that some of the top players don't duel everybody cos they have less chances of losing points, since they carefully choose who to duel with.

I don't understand this:

"I dont know exactly how many w/o we grant per day but i guess its about 10. Is this a real problem? In a small way for sure is."

What do you mean "w/o we grant per day"?

Rules & development / Gear Swap and Not accepting challenges.

« on: February 28, 2013, 13:05:22 pm  »

HI there guys,

I just wanted to provide a couple of suggestions that could be implemented, if not now, in the next season.

1) Prohibit gear switching. It's so lame in my opinion. Players should come up with a spec & gear set vs each class, and not change during combat depending on the situation. Most barbs switch gear versus me and if I don't switch gear, then I'm screwed.

2) Punishment to players no accepting challenges. If after let's say one week, a challenge hasn't been done, and there's evidence that one part was trying to carry it out, there should be a penalisation to the other part, like the double of the amount of points he would have lost/won if the challenge was conducted. As Euronymous had posted, the ones who are more active will be first, not the ones with better win/losss ratio.


Just that. Thank you very much for the awesome job you guys are doing, and just take what I say as feedback, not as whining xD. d3cl is awesome!!!!

Another thing... The challenge system seems not to be working properly? I cannot challenge players with less than 180 point difference who haven't dueled me yet.

I think waiting 5 days to repeat a duel is way too long. Now I find myself not being able to duel anybody for 5 days...

Besides, I don't agree with Euronymous saying that with this current system only most active players will stay on top. Once you hit the top you just have to duel your immediate opponents, beat them, and keep your position. Besides, as it is now, those players on 1-5 positions can only duel around 7 people I think, so if somebody is 3rd and you are second, is not like the 3rd one can duel 20 players that you CANNOT... 6-7 duels every 3 days don't seem a lot, do they?

Cancelling duels after there's more than 180 points difference is a MUST.
