recharging and duck spell canceling

[Daldaen]

In fairness though, Rubies are what? 130~ plat. Recharging Mallet is 420~ plat. So you spend 3 rubies per recharge.

Last time I ran through the quest I went 20 rubies and got 7 Mallets. 7/20 is pretty damn near 1/3.

Don't think nerfing it would be all that much of a change for mallets. Would just mean people have to spawn Lynunga more.

Basically I agree with Tecmos: do you want to have classic mechanics or classic playstyle?

In a vacuum, I am all for increasing the costs to recharge items. Paying 500p per click of the puppet strings instead of 85p would be a lot more balanced. But what pisses me off about this stuff is that people like Mac only want to nerf stuff that helps the players. How about we remove hybrid penalties? Or increase Charm mana cost? Or give Wizards critical nukes? All of those would help game balance for sure. Not to mention the fact that rather than figuring out creative ways to nerf the players I would hope that the devs would put more priority on fixing the large number of bugs we have now (am I bitter that the devs closed my huge bug thread? just a bit).

Bluebies getting to duck interrupt when the rest of us don't is pretty lame.

You should try reading the thread.

I did read the thread; it's mostly been you guys talking about recharging. All I'm saying is you guys get an unclassic feature that we don't, and it's a pretty huge one. And it's been an issue on blue server for a long, long time. It's just a pet peeve of mine needing to wait until the end of a port cast to do anything when someone's like, "Wait!" Or even interrupting a CH on cleric. Maybe I was just spoiled as a bard on live during this time period, and never had to put up with this nonsense.

Sure it's a pretty small issue in the grand scheme of things, but it really gives the sense that the devs see the servers differently when they should be treated the same in most ways. You guys shouldn't be able to recharge either, because it is a very exploitable function of the game. I'm sure it's happening to some extent, with people making efforts to keep it hush-hush.

Also WTB classic xp on red.

Did you miss the post with Haynar basically saying that ducking and gem refreshes were going to be happening on blue? Other than that though, it sounds like you should start your own server.

I agree it's the devs choice but I can still think SoulFires are absolutely stupid on non-paladins. Nothing will change that til they finally fix it I think that was around Velious $$$.

Why do you think that soulfires are dumb on non-paladins? For like roleplaying reasons, or for balance reasons? If for balance reasons, well... as soon as soulfires get nerfed they'll just be someone in befallen working on turning out reapers 24/7, and then every single person in a raid will have one... and they can be recharged and traded and don't require killing Lucan or grinding reps up! And if they nerf those, what about stinging wort potions? They've got more healing in them for non-tanks than a CH does. You gonna kill off alchemy because some players nowadays realize it is good for more than sow and shrink pots? You gonna kill off the biggest plat sink on the server because a handful of people recharge semifrequently? Etc.

Bottom line is, again, classic mechanics v. classic experience. People generally argue for one sometimes and the other the rest of the time to tailor to their image of a perfect server instead of just embracing what is here right now and enjoying it for what it is. Yeah, I like recharging the few clickies I use, but like I said earlier in this thread, it'd probably be a net win for me if recharging became impossible... so it isn't like I'm in favor of it because of personal bias.


The god damn thread only exists because red trolls aren't happy unless everyone else is miserable, anyways.

Seemed to me like he was talking about red.

Let's all get memory wipes back to the Year 2000, and just keep the classic mechanics in-game. Problem solved.
