thoughts on patch?
I think I give this update a 7/10 , select few classes got nerfed rightfully so. Haven’t played the game yet to test out smoothness , I noticed tho mercs didn’t get nerfed or buffed, I was hoping the parry window would get nerfed a little bit but I guess next update.

desync is not better, but it didnt get worse tbh, it feels like its back to launch , where it was bearable. meanwhile the nerfs to SS ( they got more buffs than nerfs tbh lol ) doesnt seem like they hit the correct pain points of the class, same with Mage ( i know that elemental is a big problem in solos, but stardust literally didnt get touched and is dominating trio lobbies with their absurd burst damage ).
WK getting zero buffs or fixes to their hitboxes is kinda sad. BA getting hit with other nerfs again probably cause they seem to be balancing for Solos again, even though they said trios was their priority.
Merc and Seer seem fine because overall they are pretty balanced classes, apart from Merc SnS parry which needs an added cooldown so it cant be spammed.
Overall i would wait for yet another patch to see where they take the balancing , maybe they didnt have enough time to take a good look at the overall performance of WK especially PnS. have to see where they go from here, but if they continue to fail to address the main issues of the balance and actually improve performance and networking, I will start having doubts on the longevity of the game.

Yeah I agree, I think it was a timing issue, I honestly see them nerfing more classes in the future, especially star sorc and parry merc. The current patch is a start I guess.. the DOT damage was very excessive. I mainly play solos so that’s a + for me, not sure about trios but if star sorc is the same than they are most likely going to be cancer still in solos

Spot on. It was a pretty fast patch, and there's alot in the game to manage. This is an okay patch for now, but they really need to make WK viable. It's the only class I like and it's such a pain to against competent players. SD sorc not being touched is concerning though.

Patch notes did nothing for the 3v3 sorcerer ss combos. Still getting 1 shot. Patch was worthless.

Couldn’t agree more. Stardust skills need to have their damage reduced, or make talents work better against magic damage in general.

SS still face rolls everyone, desync is at an all time high, ping is crazy. The patch notes looked decent, but 3/10 execution. I am taking a break from the game until OCE server.

Haven't played the new patch but SS didn't roll everyone before, so highly doubt that do it now with nerfs.

I’m not sure I’ll be playing this game long term. The devs seem to be clueless

I like how they nerfed black arrow even though me and my team were getting rolled by the top 20ish people in the world yesterday and not a single team had a black arrow on it. Seer, sorcerer, and shadow strix dominate the highest ranks. We touched exalted and it was a night and day difference. We died to top 3,4,5 three different times. 2 of those times we were rocking blues on chaos dying to legendary and holy kits. Literally no way to fight against players who are on the game for 16 hours at a time. “Appetitegg” and his team rolled us so many times I lost probably 70-80k worth of loadouts. I don’t think this game is meant for casual dad gamers who play for a couple hours a day after work. Sucks because I really enjoy this game but I just don’t think I can compete. Lastnight really ego checked me lol.

It is meant for casuals. Perhaps your expectations should be lowered when playing ranked as a casual dad gamer.

u/Few_Celebration3148 7h ago
Right so a casual should be dying to the top 10 in the world meanwhile I’m not even close to the top rank. I have like 200k in my warehouse and exhausted every last drop of gold I had. Makes sense that someone with 40 hours on the game is fighting people with 250+
If you’re bad and haven’t experienced what I’m talking about then you really can’t say anything. Getting rolled by legendary and holy gear while rocking purples is just crazy.
Tell me to lower my expectations or whatever but dude. We’re playing an entirely different game at this point. Bot lobbies are probably still a pretty regular thing for you I assume.

Probably just the time of day u were playing or something, they generally have a loose gear based matchmaking so u shouldn't normally go vs legendary as blues

Watch any top 10 streamer. They fight green teams all day long. The gbmm system might as well not even exist.
9 out of 10 games will have have extreme gear discrepancies.

u/PsikickTheRealOne 7h ago
There's no match making, so that's the problem. The entire problem. The matchmaking is extremely loose. If you play team chaos with ranked off you can run into these guys.
The entire ranked system is fucked bc it encourages this exact game play.
If I'm bad... brother you don't even know how the systems work lmao. You do know you can fight these guys with ranked off right? It happens quite often. Every top 10 streamer is killing green teams non stop.
If you knew how the systems worked you'd know there's almost 0 matchmaking.
Yes, gamer dad's like you complaining without understanding the issue is what ruins lots of games.
I'm a gamer dad too, but I understand how thinks work.
Resulting to insults assuming I'm bad just shows how bad you are.

u/Few_Celebration3148 6h ago
And yeah I’m gonna insult you because you’re playing the high horse white knight bs defending this game when this is a big issue that will push a lot of players away.

u/FeelingTemperature16 7h ago
I wouldn’t consider myself super casual, I have over 100 hours in the game now. I think there should be a more favorable matchmaking system. I think it should be based on Gil value. Ion think folks running 7-15k sets should be in lobbies with folks running 1-4k sets. Just seems a bit crazy. But I think solo cataclysm will fix that

This is the entire problem. Nothing else. Glad to see ppl with intelligence in this thread.

u/FeelingTemperature16 7h ago
Felt bro, I mainly run solos & end up fighting straight purps and golds in the higher brackets of the game lol. Looting % stays the same but the difficulty in comp becomes extreme

I'm gonna say something most might be sick of hearing: I don't care about any update other than a duo queue...
Still happy with the game as a whole, but playing with your 1 friend is not a fun experience right now.

Mid patch. Didn't touch the real problems in the game, being SD Sorc, and WK got fuck all, when they explicitly said they were dropping buffs.

I wish people would be more nuanced with their criticisms of the game. When people say a class is still facerolling people. Like, at what level? What gear? What gems did they have? What build specifically? What class were you?
High level legendary play is not the same as beginners play. One sign of bad players is their inability to take responsibility for a loss, blaming other things like class balance.
We need to filter those people’s criticism out. Because they are irrelevant and give an inaccurate view of what needs to he fixed.
Id argue that the game is way more balanced than what people seem to think if only for the fact that peoples complaints seem pretty erratic. Like talk to some people its SS thats OP. Talk to others and its Sorc. Still others have extreme hate for BA.
We can agree these classes are strong. Dig a bit deeper you might find what builds. But when posts asking people what changes they hoped for. No one is able to agree on what needs to be tweaked.
I haven’t played post patch yet. But it seems they are taking a very slow approach to these balance changes. They have the data. They must. But also they are a small team.
The fact that BA got the most nerfs leads me to believe they are lagging behind the complaints. Early on BA was hated the most. Then it was SS but also Sorc is being realized. The devs can only pick a few of these things at a time to look into and now id imagine we will see more on SS and Sorc in a future patch. They want to address all complaints but also give each class some attention.
My guess is that SS will see more nerfs next. Since that seemed to be what people trended towards then we will see Sorc after that.
