Armor Nerf in today's update

[Lesrider]

Just one more thing, if you're still reading, Cinco.

I think any updates like this should be done while you guys are still around to fix any mistakes right away. And the patch notes should include detailed equipment changes so we all know what was intentional and what was a mistake that will be fixed. The same thing seems to happen with each update, all hell breaks loose and then we get an explanation after 50 people have already quit over it. Seems like it should be easily preventable.

If the same thing happens every update then calm down, take a breath, relax, and calmly list what you've found has changed that you don't feel should have changed. The devs are very good at helping us all out. If they make a mistake they correct it, as will happen here.

ok, only read to page 4, but this...
"Originally Posted by Cinco
Armor - All Armor items (with the exception of helmets and weapons that give armor bonuses) will now provide significantly less armor. As it currently stands, Torso Armor values just simply cannot go any higher. If I want to add more content in the future (which I do), we need to reduce the armor values across the board and create 'room' for better gear.

The differences in armor values for cloth, leather, chain and plate types are also lessened. Chain and Plate armor types still yield a lot more armor than Leather or Cloth but within a much smaller margin. In the current 'balance' the armor values for Plate go through the roof while the armor values for Cloth remain pretty lousy even at Level 50.

In this upcoming balance update, the values for all armor types will make a lot more sense "

umm, how could torso armors NOT go any higher, just make the mobs in future levels hit harder. sime fix, without pissin people off.


side note, checked my bear, and Isis still has the same armor as yesterday.
didn't notice anything else cause today I was leveling my pally that I made last night.

I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that and go crawl under a rock till this is fixed.

OMG NO WAY I'd rarther have fate now gives more armour its like not even as bad... FML

[Riccits]

Rift, Void and Cosmos armor nerfs were not intentional. :-|

Tomorrow's update will address this.

Why u never post the nerf of items?

[Superzarop]

The armor nerf was not intentional, it means that they didnt mean for it to happen and therefore it was not included in the notes.

[Ellyidol]

I'm curious how unintentional changes like these can happen. If they didn't alter or change armour scripts or such in the first place, how did they get changed? Just curious really, not implying anything.

[Lesrider]

Elly, I was wondering the same.

But my main issue, as stated above, is that they release these updates in the evening and then disappear, wreaking havoc with any mistakes they made. Updates should only be released early enough in the day for them to fix any mistakes they made. This is not the first time they've updated the game, caused a riot, and had to explain the next day. That's not the best way to do it when you have people playing round the clock.

Fair enough. I can't tell since I'm on a far far off timezone (Sydney). So updates usually happen in the morning for me when I just get up, or in the wee hours of the morning.

Agree,

I don't mind if they acknowledge there is a mistake after any update released rather than just say it in chatbox

and clearly explanation with each update

[Jsaieagle]

I believe some people did lower the price of rift items.... poor them

[Lesrider]

Eh, buying/selling anything right after an update is a risk.

[Balonia]

Ok it's like an accident on the side of the road... I just had to take a look.

Metallic now has +4 armor over Cosmos. WTF???? These item changes always screw over the people who have worked hard for their "epic" loot, and making these changes without even mentioning them seems sneaky and underhanded. I'm sorry, but these uneven equipment changes are just lousy and unfair.

I hate it for you, I really do. But I must say, when I gave you that cosmos helm, what did I say about Metalic? Lol almost like I saw in a crystal ball. Wearing metallic and sticking to it!

[Lesrider]

Lol Balonia too funny. Your rags turned to riches after all

Thanks for clearing that up Cinco, looking forward (I hope) to the update. BTW, do you guys ever ask or poll any players before making changes, seems like there's a large community out here that could be beneficial in helping you adjust some stuff. Why not use the resource? (If you don't already).

Thanks,

Krazii

[Balonia]

Well, looks like I'm only queen for one day! But I'll be the baddest dang queen ever!!! I'm going to solo overlord right now. No pots.

[Lesrider]

Lol let me know how that works out for you.

[Torrentula81]

Im seeking all my 50 pinks and not giving a a darn anymore. Ill stick with cheap 3k pieces.

Some of the changes are necessary for future growth of the game that are going to inevitably irritate current players, so that would not work.

It would if they were to ask simple things like "Do you find the bosses in ao3 too hard?" (could have asked before they Nerfed them)
Or, "Do you want the common ao3 pinks to be similar to the rare pinks?"

Things like this I think would be good to ask the community as a whole, bc it seems like they changed things based off of athe complaints of a few.
