Insufficient and inadequate, Funcom. You need to roll this entire update back. The UI is horrible, the changes are broken and bad, removing necessary functions was a giant mistake… and I could go on but you know what you did. You KNOW!!!
Just admit you messed up, apologize, fix it by rolling back the update, and then re-think what you’re doing before implementing any more ridiculous, unwanted changes. You keep messing things up but you CAN choose to STOP messing things up and I hope you do.
There’s the issue. “WE” are not entirely happy with bearers being so tanky. WE as in the DEVELOPERS who keep MESSING EVERY SINGLE THING UP.
Now hear this AndyB - the PLAYERS ARE Entirely happy with bearers being tanky so leave the frickin’ bearer thrall HP alone. Revert the changes, leave it alone.
No, you aren’t. If you were then you wouldn’t have done what you just did. You would NEVER have let this update see the light of day. It would have died in the testive server.
Another user here made me aware the crash upon spawn into server may be linked to large bases autosorting to adapt to the update to sorting happening all at once and crashing a player out. I can honestly say from what I have seen and experienced so far, that pattern holds. The players that cannot log in are located in large bases. The users having no issues seem to have small to medium bases. Just wanted to pass this along so I can play again as its unplayable for me right now.
As it is a topic of discussion, the bearer nerf was…
Absurd and sloppily implemented.
Many Named Bearers have significantly less HP than Kushite Bearer 1.
Bearer HP seems to scale inversely to tier.
The bearer is there to carry stuff.
But they cannot do so if they are dead. Hence they need to be durable or we should have sorcery that reanimates the corpse of followers in the field so they can keep carrying.
No, they shouldn’t be strong combatants.
But then again, there shouldn’t be named “Fighters” who cannot complete a combo and who have less than a 1.0 melee modifier.
Fixing them to not be combat relevant can be done thru reduction of offensive capacity and alterations of how they draw aggro.
happy to see commun sense balance of a game is not so hard, it’s just a matter to apply commun sense, please funcom think about commun sense, it will make your customer happy, and the important is to have your customer happy as a commercial company (well normally); because as all commercial companies if your custumors are happy, you will be happy (and that is commun sense too)
But a named Bearer had a wopping 900 HP fully leveled with the change. Wak has a video of it i believe. Drink that in. 900hP for a T4 bearer.
Yeah they were tanky before, but now they are (were with the fix resetting for now) not even meat shield worthy, much less leveling time. You have an excellent sheet. How they still cannot spend maybe 2 hours during the 3 month cycle to min max with formulas with excel basic formulas to insure the change makes sense says alot. And of course, the ole “we are prepping for a future update” reason is used why the drastic neef.
Hoe about make the HP change when it fits the way they are to be used on that update, not months.before.
Thanks for the response, but it wasn’t written about the Bearer. Its about the process that we arrived at for the end result that the Bearer experienced.
Yea fair enough and I’m aware, I did post a picture on discord with the HP nerfs specifically and that one with the massive nerf was indeed a bit too much. Some of them did get a slight buff btw, the picture only has the ones with less health than before.
And in turn thankyou VERY much to listening the feedback offered up by the community and taking it onboard! I have nothing but thanks and appreciation in return. And it is really getting the community back onside again. You have 23 likes/upvotes on this thread Andy!
You’re not mentioning that you shadow capped the daily XP (earned through all the activities) to 8000, so I will assume that you’re deceptive on purpose which is, well, borderline criminal.
This isn’t just a video game - it’s a product you’re selling, keep that in mind. You’re getting paid for your shit, we PAY to play. I also contacted your support on the same matter and they were as evasive on that topic - although they called it a bug and that your devs are looking into it. So a clarification would be nice if you’re actually trying to scam us into buying level skips, incompetent to maintain a live service product, or you literally didn’t see all the topic and complaints on it. This has Tencents MO written all over it so I’m not gonna be very hopeful that you accidentally effed up.
Anyway just leaving this here. I won’t buy Dune because I’m done with your antics. It’s just incomprehensible to me how you can lose it that much when you had a solid product pre BP/Bazaar.
Ok I said my praises, but I must also state my gripes.
Andy can we PLEASE have a fix for the broken Thrall Pot & Pet Feed Box! This has been reported on numerous occasions by myself and other members for over 1 year now! We have just had overhauls to the Purge, and this Chapter also saw an increase in enemy damage. We need these to distribute healing to our followers guarding our bases! Or if the team has no plan of ever making them functional again then please, just out with it, so myself and others can can stop harping on about it.
ok so we are listening to feedback. I politely suggest listening to the feedback regarding the Sword of Crom Nerf. Not just me, the playerbase has expressed they wish to retain its unique functionality; high stamina drain for a blow which hits like a mac truck. Not a Legendary which has less durability than an iron weapon.
I have suggestion - next chapter please nothing new is needed! add some bp skins and thats all, work on fixing any other glitches and issues game make the next chapter be “Bug-fix”
Again, most of complaints lately are based aroud devs not utilizing basic checks available with basic script and formulas. Makes me worry that the current generations went rihht into C+ and tool ising, amd never used a vlookup lol.
So bearers are getting their health back. Thanks for letting me know this Funcom just a day after breaking the bonds of 18 bearers for not pulling their weight.
