Rift: Random Complaint Thread

[Mytiwar]

your motivation should be to catch up, duh.

random complaint: bard nerfs in 1.1, because bard needed nerfs instead of buffs, amiriite

wat
link please

And Aiden, in which way are they saying they'll nerf sab, did they say? Since they have decent damage (lower than anything warrior) and since they possess no read none read absolutely fucking zilch as far as survivability goes, I thought it wasnt so bad tbh.

BARD
* Due to the below changes, characters with points spent in Bard have received a free soul point respec.
* Invigorated Soul, Coda of Restoration: Now affects up to 5 targets.
* Using Verse of Fascination or Verse of Captivation now turns off auto-attack, since these effects break on damage.
* Motif of Tenacity: Now unlocked at 12 points.
* Anthem of Defiance: Now unlocked at 18 points.
* Motif of Regeneration: Now unlocked at 24 points. Now casts on the Bard and heals up to 10 raid or group members nearby with each tick.
* Anthem of Fervor: Fixed tooltip so the cost reduction is shown correctly when points are spent in Street Performer. Also fixed the cost reduction not being applied correctly to raid members when points are spent in Street Performer.

Can't say the Reaver nerfs made me happy, either, but that's just one of those nails in the coffin for me at this point.

Looks like I need a new RIFT spec .
At least 5-man raids are unaffected really. That's okay though since Bard is kinda yawn, but really effective lol

May be pointing out the obvious here but you don't get the quest in fall of laterns hook untill you do a mini side event, freeing some people, talking to some people then you get the quest to kill everything in the instance, did you try this because I have never had this issue when doing Laterns Hook?

Yea I know, but when you finish the last boss and turn-in the quest, it doesn't give the 4.4k xp nor the gold.

Fucking lol @ all the people crying because of the patch notes, same as every freakin MMO : some shit gets nerfed for a few weeks, people cry, then it gets a buff and people say it's alright, while other people cry.

Won't come up top healer in pvp anymore in big groups but w/e. Still as potent for 5 man stuff I guess

Time to quit, they're nerfing my class!

[arus2001]

Was doing it before that. What bugs me most about it, though, was they're reducing damage capability on a build that wasn't the fastest killer to begin with. And while I didn't really have trouble keeping hate on things (assuming people actually let me act on a mob before unloading on it), harder hitting mobs were still risky tank jobs at times where I felt maybe being Paladin would do better.

Just seems like they're balancing everything around PvP now, which would be fine if they hadn't been balancing around PvE up until this point. So now they're putting classes in line for PvP purposes but nerfing their viability for PvE. They probably should have just done something similar to Aion where PvP damage is reduced by a certain amount.

These changes also effect Rifts/Invasions/Raids. Ever healed big Rifts? Hardly anyone takes damage because Bards/Chloros/passive healing keep everything insta-healed.

Tbh I'm almost glad they're nerfing bard for this very reason. I like me some challenge.

[Lucavi]

Pyro buffed to hell; a decent buff for Necro; buff for Chloro. So glad I just got 50.

[LidenbokValour]

Sure they're nerfing bard? Last I heard the only thing being nerfed on rogue was Saboteur which really needed it in the first place lol.

Yeah, a very welcome nerf for once.

I'm a rogue and I fucked about with sab in PvP and it was ridiculous, although I won't lie there was some times where I would literally burst out with laughter after criting someone off their mount. But it just made warfronts linear as fuck and the only rogues you seen where sab which just killed any sort of class diversity which makes PvP all that more enjoyable.

Will also get rid of the fools that just pvp cause their class is capable of destroying anything by pressing 2 buttons. I can't wait for people to start getting some Valour gear as well, will make things a lot more enjoyable for me right now warfronts are just full of glass cannons. Don't even get me started on black garden lol.

[Kuya]

Hated sabs with a passion. I can take a beating from lots of people at once, but as soon as a sab showed up, i'm fucked. It was especially awful when a sab decided to stick to me during a match.

[Lucavi]

Random complaint... hmm. I've got one:

What's up with this goddamn GFX driver crash I keep getting that effectively "turns off" my monitor until I restart the rig? Some days its nonexistant; other days I can't play for 10 minutes before it happens. I don't get it. Anyone else ever have it happen to them?

Wish there was some kind of dungeon finder, even if its just putting your name in a list for people to look through on just the server. It's very hard to get a group going on my server past 10-11 pm PST which is the only time I can really freely play without getting interrupted.

[Katlan]

One thing that really bothers me is how each zone feels like its own isolated world, down to the major rift invasions. I still want to do the rifts in Silverwood, Gloamwood, ect... for achievements for shards and to help out, but in order to do that I have to literally hang out in the zone for hours waiting for this to happen, or run between zones. I ask guildies who are in specific zones at the time also, but it requires extensive travel or extensive communication just to find out if any major invasions are happening.

I think it would make a huge difference if we could see each major invasion in any zone from all zones, or at least the world map should show which ones are going on (doesn't need to show exact data of amount of rifts open, ect...).

They are working on one, but I probably won't use it, for experts atleast. If it works anything like WoW's it won't be able to factor in spec or gear, and that part will actually be harder to determine. Not to mention you can't roll most T2 experts with 3dps/1tank/1healer, some bosses need 2 tanks or 2 healers or even 2.5 healers. Just don't see LFD working out well for the hard experts, and I don't want them to nerf the difficulty because of it either.

[Falisa]

Well thats the reason why I said putting your name in a list. You can create the dungeon yourself, and if you dont want to create it, you can atleast put your name on the list to say you're looking for one.

[tonyg]

I've been lucky enough to clear my first two expert dungeons relatively easily (read : 3-4 wipes on each boss), but didn't get shit for gear. And I don't get all the hate on riftblade, I've been pulling 900DPS single target and outdpsing basically every other beastmaster or paragon warrior, and they had similar or better gear than mine.

[Katlan]

Every mmo needs an XI style lfg system. It may be archaic, but I loved XIs system and it was so simple
