View Full Version : Arcane Ring too OP?

I can already smell people that are gonna be like "incoming nerf this nerf that threads" but this is a serious issue for legendary people (maybe even mythic people). Anyways back on topic, Arcane Ring is so OP, it kinda reminds me like that "One Ring" from LOTR. It grants insane power over all rings (you don't say?) and on top of that, these ring users have Samael which all of you know, is a pet that stuns often (including auto attacks) so it's kinda like pointless for people with legendaries/mythics without Samael to even try, why? Stun + One Ring = stronger than any mythic user (at least, if you know how to use the ring). Legendaries can't even rely on luck/crit to beat them because it's not gonna do anything if they do crit. Max crit for a legendary rogue is what 3K? Then when we do one combo, the ring user will use Samael and then KO us. What's that? I can sense people saying,"go get your mythics bro" Well mythics won't do crap to these ring users. Although it's just one rarity level ahead of mythics, it feels like it's 2-3 rarity levels ahead. Please consider the people that don't pay money and don't have much time to be farmin their butts off for 1 piece of armor that still is crippled by the ring. Today I had to use CRAWLY (super op op op op op op op legendary pet if it's used at corners) to beat an arcane ring user and I almost died. I don't like having to rely on hiding + noob pet to kill these people then be branded as "Noob Hider".

Edit: I can smell another thing, Kei will come and say Lol@Pvp in bold..

It should not dramatize, even if the ring is op it s possible to beat the users normal way (I'm talking 1v1). It s hard but possible.

A exemple i have kill Zeus with a gear : mythic Armor, helm, mythic ring, mythic amulet, expedition bow of potency 41 and glacian pet.

It's not even the non-plat users. 98% of the players I know, including plat users, can't even come close to affording it. Most of us don't have thousands of real dollars lying around to gamble on crates.

I believe it is good to reward your big investors in some special and unique way. We saw that STS recently did this in a surprise vanity giveaway to a select handful, ostensibly by giving a prize to everyone who entered a certain contest, rather than just the winner. The judges were rewarded the same way. However, to my understanding, everyone involved was known to be good customers of theirs, so something like that is their perogative and not an issue since it does not affect anyone else's gameplay.

If you're going to reward a select group of people for spending, do it that way, and do it openly. But making a game-affecting item for them (nobody can say this wasn't made for the extreme spenders) that is this immensely OP, takes away from everyone else's ability to enjoy the game. This was probably an unforseen result of a nice idea, but should definitely be looked at.

There are a lot of people who spend money in the game, that are feeling the same way as Xeno. Just as rewarding loyalty is important, so is keeping your customer pool happy by making a product that will continue to attract people. Without that, there's no reason for the high rollers to keep rollin. Giving them all godlike abilities just drives off the masses who are really the ones who make up what the game is.

I geared down my pet (matched yours) to fight you as well as leprechaun amulet. Trust me, the ring is OP, however it is rightfully so.

Xeno is slightly exaggerating though. Yes, a legendary rogue user stands no chance. That is a sign for him to go farm and get your mythic gears. You are fighting a rarity that is two level rarities above you so what did you expect the outcome would be? However, a traditional full mythic + samael user does stand a chance. He just has to make sure he crits, which in a rogue vs rogue is not that hard. Damage is so high this cap, it does not matter all that much if you're a ring or non-ring (but full mythic) user. The ring only gives you a higher chance to one hit, but the possibility to do the same with full mythics is not that much less.

Well just right now some mythic people demonstrated to me how Arcane Rings aren't a requirement on killing Legendary rogues but back on topic. Just like you said, I'm quite sure that this Arcane Ring PvP OPness wasn't purposely done. And coming up next is a new set of mythics which will completely blow me away. I'm not sure if I'll even have a chance considering that I struggle defeating dagger rogues..and the mythic is a bow.. Perfect for the unskilled rogues to play pvp.

Ok so I move up a league in rarity levels. Arcane Rings are still gonna rip me apart with Samael or a stun pet. Plus, those other people using legendary gear probably won't even bother trying to fight thus (I think) leading to them blocking in clashes when they recognize your name.

Lia is very good, so is Zeus - there are arcane ring users I've killed though, just saying it isn't impossible but it is pretty damn hard especially for a non-mythic :/

I agree with instant, rogue vs rogue fights are all about who crits most and/or lands the first combo. Zeus plays with mythic daggers, so you get to start with charged bow stun, right? That should make all the difference.

In exchange for a kick-*** proc and it's weird, the daggers make it so that every aimed shot is critting so still I'm gonna be dead meat. (Serious, I haven't seen a decked out mythic rogue NOT crit with daggs).

05-11-2014, 09:51 PM
I think the problem is how sts has handled the development of rings. It's much different from weapons/helms/armors.

It's simple with the other 3...a mythic item is roughly the same as a legendary item is 5 levels ahead of it. Same with arcanes...the stats are similar to a legendary 10 lvls ahead of it.

But rings? Nope. Not so simple. Starting at around...lvl 20 rings have the +damage and such capped (+3.0). And then you're left with only two other modifiers for the ring.
The mythic and arcane ring DON'T follow the patterns of mythic & arcane gear. If the mythic ring did, it would just have the same stats as a lvl 35 ring. But it doesn't...in fact, it's still better than all the lvl 41 rings! That's no mythic pattern...the ring follows the pattern of an arcane item.

...and now we have a ring that actually has arcane rarity? Oh, goodness...just how many seasons is this going to be better than any legendary ring? Better until the 61 cap?

It's time for the legendary rings to be packing some more power. Let the lvl 41 rings have 3.5-4.0 damage. Have an additional modifier to them. Something. Fix them.

Because the legendary rings are broken, the "how can we outdo ourselves" arcane ring is absurdly overpowered. More overpowered than hooks seemed at 26, as hooks had their proper lifetime. The arcane ring, much like the mythic ring, is going to outmatch any other ring for much longer than it is supposed to.

As a legendary-user, i understand that mythic/arcanes should be better than legendaries. I don't think the arcane ring should be nerfed until it becomes as saturated as the other arcane items (too many OP players kinda sets off a little too much ego/smugness). The game needs OP things to keep it interesting. To keep the hard-working farmers separated from the lazy chatterbugs (like me lol).

The arcane ring is not OP. The difference is this large because of the enormous gap between a lvl31 mythic ring to a lvl41 arcane one - let's count together.

Mythic - top for two seasons (including its release season). So lvl31 ring theoretically stops being top at lvl36.
Arcane - top for three seasons (including its release season). So lvl41 ring theoretically stops being top at lvl51.


So is Rendtail's ring overpowered more than its arcane rarity suggests? No.
Is the PvP part of the game pay2win? Hell yeah.

Yeah it is OP.
Its still possible to beat a mage with sam, arcane staff, arcane ring and mythics whether he is skilled or not.
If it is a blade rogue you need a Samael, some darn good skills, Exceptional gems and a perfect fight. If the rogues uses a bow then just forget it.
If its a war just forget it.

This is from a mythic set | mythic amulet | Magmatic claymore | emberglow ring | Grimm | war user. The more mythics and arcanes you have the better your odds are. Samael, Slag, Grimm(?) Are the best.

I think this whole "mythic top for 2 seasons, arcane top for 3" is messed up with upgrades and release of new mythics. Some Lvl26-31 mythics still top(helm, armor, amulet) but lvl26 arcane hooks outdated at lvl31, mythic lvl31 warrior and lvl36 mage weapon was never top due to their arcane counterparts. Etc.

05-12-2014, 03:46 AM
I'll be honest. People with no skill and arcane ring can be killed for sure. Pros like Parf with arcane ring cannot be killed (unless you crit 4k :p). Ring costs 100m approx right now..and i think anyone who buys it at that price deserves to have "some" advantage. Decreasing crit would be better than nerfing the ring. Without the crit, ring user will only hit like 2-2.5k, which is managable if u pack fast.
Rogue vs Rogue is really no skill at all. The person who crits and uses the combo wins. The match starts and the rogues pack. 3 on both sides. and BAM!, the match ends. Still 3 Packs on both sides....wtf is this? really not a skill match..but a gear match.

the ring on a tank (or on a rogue using it well) is ridiculous though.

And pls tell me why are you guys complaining? To make it nerfed so legendary user (AKA 1k gold user) can kill arcane user (AKA 100m> gold user) who also had other maxed out items? Dont you think its kinda ridiculous?

I geared down my pet (matched yours) to fight you as well as leprechaun amulet. Trust me, the ring is OP, however it is rightfully so.

Xeno is slightly exaggerating though. Yes, a legendary rogue user stands no chance. That is a sign for him to go farm and get your mythic gears. You are fighting a rarity that is two level rarities above you so what did you expect the outcome would be? However, a traditional full mythic + samael user does stand a chance. He just has to make sure he crits, which in a rogue vs rogue is not that hard. Damage is so high this cap, it does not matter all that much if you're a ring or non-ring (but full mythic) user. The ring only gives you a higher chance to one hit, but the possibility to do the same with full mythics is not that much less.
Parth and Sceazikua are CORRECT... for something as hard as this is to obtain... it had better be OP plain and simple and yes that means very few will have it and that means everyone isn't going to be running around with one.

The ring is exactly the way it should be period. This post is ridiculous like Sceaz said. Just like in life there will always be the haves and have not's and the have not's are always going to want what the haves have ;^}

The simple truth is that in 1v1, gear generally outclasses skill. However, in a group clash, skill often determines the winner. Yeah, I know all the Samaels and Maulers seem OP, but they can be beaten by good team.

The Ring is OP - I can't deny that, but is it so OP that in a group clash, they can't be killed? No. However, if you have a Legendary team facing Arcane/Mythics, well, that probably won't end well.

What nobody wants to say is that, as important as skill may be, gear provides the advantage. Gear is what makes a noob a genuine threat in PvP. Gear makes a very skilled player seem invincible. I've killed plenty of Ring noobs by using terrain, other players and stuns to win. Annoying tactics like shielding with Truell in TDM can give you exactly the advantage you need to level the playing field, but only if you know how to do it. You simply can't say 3, 2, 1, go and expect to win.

Actually, my biggest issue is that the current crop of Legendary gear is so pitiful (for Rogues and Sorcs especially), that Legendary gear from several seasons ago are still so much better! I was trying to figure out what the best blend of offensive and defensive gear was for running elite, and I kept coming back to upgraded Mythics, Fangmaster Ring of Warfare (though I admit I also use an Archon of Potency lv41 most of the time) and Tarlok Heart of Potency. This means that the best amulet is an event item from last season, a ring from Kraken, and upgraded Mythics from the Nordr expansion. Right now, the best bow is a junk crate bow (Expedition Recurve of Potency). So, why is it that this seasons gear is so useless? Why is it that even if I have a considerable amount of gold available to invest, I'm still looking at gear one, two or three seasons old?

Sure, gear staggering may be to blame, but gear progression should imply that this seasons elite legendary items should be better than something from one or two seasons ago. The problem, in truth, is that current Legendaries are not scaling well. And, if the elite legendaries aren't competitive, then what value does it have in auction? This means that it is more fruitful to farm locked crates than it is to run elites to generate income, and THAT is a pitiful realization.

The problem is how the equipment has been staggered this season and how this itemization is working. Arcane is only good relative to other equipment. Right now we are all using the same gear for more or less 8-9 months. The complaint isn't that the Arcane ring is too OP, but how itemization is being implemented.

I honestly don't know why you crying every one knows what the hell game is arcane legends yes pay to win so pay or play for free without cry or leave like the recension SAY :p


I really feel bad for the people playing
spacetime games. The company is basically one
of the worst out there, can't even see why
people give them awards. The games are far
from being free, which is fine as a game
developer has to earn money like any other
worker. However their games not only are fully
centered on milking money from the player, but
there's also a completely unexistant care for the
playerbase, as they make new games every year
literally abandoning the previous ones. A game
like pocket legends that is supposed to be a
"mmo" has had its development dropped after
not even 3 years, that's a joke for someone who
supposedly makes mmo, and an insult to all the
people who invested in the game buying loads
of platinum. Of course AL will have same faith,
and all the company does is censoring their own
forums to avoid complaints. Stay away from
them, there's way better gaming companies
with better mmos out there.

Humans are competitive and "sore" losers.

This is an MMORPG type of game where STATS win with a little bit of "SKILL" (not really skill, it's just timing and order of attacks with a simple push of five buttons; there is no technical execution) and you want to "cry" because an "Arcane" ring owns you for free? Yes, stats don't always win, you need a little bit of strategy but the only time players win against "top geared" players is because they are terrible at the game and don't know what they are doing. However, you fight against a player who knows what they are doing just like yourself and wears "top gear", you will get "farmed".

There are games that provide a "true" way to compete against other players where "skill" (your own execution, strategy and knowledge) win, not the gear you wear e.g. beat em' ups, first person shooters, real time strategy and racing games (there are more but to list the top four).

People who "whine" about PVP on an "MMORPG" I believe, are really terrible at technical execution, lack "skill" and this type of game is suited for them because, what is so hard about mashing some buttons to kill mobs, level up, become stronger and over time obtain "better" gear to kill less geared players? Oh, so much skill...look at me pushing/holding down buttons, ohh whoopee I leveled up, looted *name strong gear*, mash buttons, killed noobs, feels so awesome! I'm Pro!

If the problem is you play this "type" of game and are one of those "players", then stop crying because this is an MMO and competing/winning in this "game" requires the best "stats". So "play" the game and obtain the "best" gear; go buy platinum, open locks, speed up crafting; get grand gems, use elixirs, use pet stun etc. Do everything you can to win and if you don't or refuse to, then shut your mouth, get farmed and keep crying.

As for Parf /Zeus getting owned, well it just shows him winning is "solely" reliant on "stats" not on "skill". Perhaps the ring has made him lazy or it is so powerful that "skill" is not required to win at all; like he has 999999 life/damage and all he has to do to win is push one button. All these threads about PVP and gear is pointless. If you are one of those "players", you are delusional, this game does not provide "true" PVP, it's an MMORPG.

Whoa whoa whoa, owned? Sorry, he killed me once. He can tell you the outcome of those matches when I matched his gear. However, you are right about one thing. Being overly geared does make you lazy and forget strategies. Against a lot of tanks, I can break their juggernaut if I employ lazy man's strategy. Why do that instead of the correct method? The correct method requires more time for the kill.

On the other hand, when matched up against equals in terms of gear, that is when PvP becomes fun. Then, it is not a battle of gears but a battle of strategy which is why I really enjoy guild clashes. Have you checked out my YouTube channel?

And for the record Parf along with Preddy, CTF, Bless, Lia and (as i understand it, as i have not fought him) Freelancer ARE some of the most skilled rogues at 1v1. I think you may jump to conclusions too quickly.
