The Official Forums III: It goes on forever, now.

[Slycer]

Someone made a post in the official forums that Quick Draw not being reduced by DT-% gear is a bug (just check the "in-game bugs" area, I can't direct link). Their main (and only) reason to post this was because it apparently makes COR "extremely overpowered" in ballista. That's sad enough to begin with, but the community team responded and is actually reporting this to the developers. Considering this has been that way in the game for YEARS, I don't think it's a bug. But holy crap that's going to be annoying if they nerf QD...the fact that someone would even post that shows how completely out of touch they are with the rest of the game as QD passing through damage immunities has been a known endgame strategy on various monsters practically since COR was added (and come on, there have to be hundreds of other better/cheaper/more playable games if all you care about is ballista). If they would have phrased it asking for a Ballista-specific nerf, I guess I'd be fine with that, but that's not at all what they asked for.

Well fuck, I'm going to need to test MDB much quicker then.

Was it Urteil/Sakaio that made the post? 'cause fuck that guy.

That's the funny thing, though, they complain that there's no way to mitigate the damage, and yet there clearly is. They just are too lazy to do the research and figure it out and immediately jump to the conclusion that it's OP and broken.

Briarb19 on the forum, Rayna on Lakshmi according to the forum profile sidebar. Not calling people out for a witch hunt here, but someone on Lakshmi might want to inform them that they should just probably use magic defense bonus gear instead of potentially ruining one of the primary utilities of Quick Draw.

Don't worry, it was responded to by a GM so we can be pretty confident it will never be addressed.

Why is Caketime so retarded? To anyone following the last two pages (10-12) on the "To Dev's, are there any plans to fix Neo Nyzul Isle?" thread it just blows my mind. Suddenly disagreeing with them has made me some mental patient obsessed with them out to argue just to disagree with whatever they say.

What am I disagreeing with them on?

*NNI needs to be made easier/changed to be like the old Nyzul.
*That SE needs to stop what they are doing and make a chat program for the platforms because they don't want to use 'third party tools' and because they do not want to "give out their personal information" on Skype to people.

Holy fucking shit.

I am reaching the point of Mister Rogers Syndrome with them.

[NynJa]

Some people are so fucking stupid and paranoid when it comes to "personal information" and the internet.

I'm Josh from Montreal, COME AT ME BRO. Because your first name (you can put your online alias to top it off) is going to give you away and everyones going to find you.

[Churchill]

[NynJa]

looooooool, a friend made that account to troll me with. I guess all you need is a name and a city. I guess an online alias I've used for 15 years doesnt hurt either.

[Fondue]

Such bitterness in one sentence.

[grevenilvec75]

I know rayna, he's not retarded. Dunno why he cares that much about ballista though.

If they would have phrased it asking for a Ballista-specific nerf, I guess I'd be fine with that, but that's not at all what they asked for.

Mobs do not wear gear and the title of the topic states the bug is associated with "- damage gear", so given the context and also the direct reference to ballista within the topic, I think it's clear the fix was specific to ballista. If I was interested in more than that, I'd have mentioned that MDB from Shell V didn't seem to impact the damage at all either during our tests (thanks for the call out on being "too lazy" to test that.)

But I think it's working as intended and that they just didn't stop to think how it's current functionality would translate to ballista. They apparently can and still do make ballista specific nerfs and that is all I was asking for.
