Balance Update, First real iteration on AMUN!

[Seher]

My lock gear provides 18/19%, and I LOVE this change, items are far too powerful.

I really hope fixing rings and amuletts is on your list, too, by the way.

I would have agreed with a cap on cast speed, so that if someone had bought items could still use them to gain 1 or 2 points from arcane devotion to spend somewhere else, but the change that NGD is imposing is unfair since they changed devotion effect and they are not doing the same for items. Since the item will have HALF effect, it is not the same item i payed for, so give me back money or give me the item i payed for.

so, in my eyes, this make NGD THIEVES, because they are selling a thing that is good, then they change it in worse. This is totally UNFAIR.

[Gabburtjuh]

+1

It's not fair to weaken stuff that people have paid for. If this update makes old AS stuff almost useless, it sucks if somebody have spend lot of time to find bow with +5as and lot of time+money to find 6-7as gem and socket it, even with the old system +11/12as didn't do much so if it gets even worse = bullshit

and same with cs stuff, if somebody spend his time&money to find cs stuff instead of mana items, and after update mana stuff is way more usefull than very small difference in cast speeds = money back!

it's easy to say that "woo woo good update" if somebody haven't spend money in the game :P If there is option to buy stuff with money, NGD should not change items afterwards, after all it's not buyers fault if somebody didn't want to buy boxes with real money, everybody had that chance.

i'm not sure if its just me, but i seem to be hitting alot faster with my shortbow on amun than i do on horus

[theotherhiveking]

There are people who have paid lots of money to level, pimp up, empower their non mage classes, and then they find the get pwned by the premium warlocks, being premium themselves now.

So, i want to play, i payed for my barb, but i still cant play because there are premium mages around pwning me before i can even get close. Hence, ngd is 'stealing' from me.

Not only mages buy premium, you know.
Plus mages 'premium' its far more effective that anything that the other classes can buy, with a big difference.

Its amazing how one-sided people views are.

So, yeah, good update.

The attack speed formula was changed too, the bonuses still need to be doubled.

I got two fast 20, one with +11as and +31 damage, one with +0as +55 damage and in my small scale tests that +11as alone didn't do anything that I could really notice.

My point is that we already have tons of items that are useless because of +1% resist to something and if most of as/cs stuff joins that club, is there anything left :P

From "op" to useless ain't the best move. (IMO there isn't but few OP items anyway, and usually it's because one person has many "op" items combined)

AND if armors give more protection now does that mean that fast items will be useless with new system?

I can't test these things at amun atm, so im just speculating this :P Tomorrow im back home so I will see if I shoot tiny damage as slow as turtle or is it nothing like that
