Unless you can explain better that is a distinction without a difference.
That seems generally untrue. There are levels and special items like in all games. Some items and setups will always be better than others. Some combos will always have some advantage over other standards and/or different combos. And these play to the players style in combat - which is also different for each individual. No one watches a YouTube and then comes in game and crushes it because of what they learned in a video. What are you even talking about - it seems you just want to justify this idea of ābalanceā youāve made up in your head. ~=shrug=~
I didnāt call it dps on purpose, because itās a little more complicated. Fucntion also plays a role. Fx the reach of spears.
And Conan isnāt really what youāre describing. Adventurers arenāt risking everything and spending weeksā¦ They just figure out whatās best and farm a ton of it. What great risk is involved in farming a bunch of Loldarium?
Now if the game didnāt have a few items that were so much better and instead had a bunch of gear with specialties, then those weeks tweaking might matter.
Thatās your style, so be it. Others face down powerful dragons, battle packs of sabretooth killers, invade populated villages and strongholds, spend weeks location hunting in recon, in order to get the special weapons, recopies, special T4 thralls, and the raw materials needed. I guess you just spawn then in with the Admin panel and call it a day?
a typical example is a fast weapon with low damage and a slow weapon with high damage.
DPS is the same, but playstyle is different.
Iām not talking about all games, Iām talking about this game. Conan Exiles. And itās very true. A few bits are way better than the rest.
I also never said a video made players good.
But 99%+ of people who run a good setup in pvp (again, in this game) use the same gear sets. In Siptah itās pretty much just a matter of if they use Aspect of the Bat or Demon.
Itās seems you donāt know what you are talking about and just want to justify the idea of āanti-balanceā you made up, because you donāt want nerfs.
You people (yes, I said it) you people, asking for nerf after nerf until every good game on the planet (like Conan is now) becomes an uninteresting mash-pit of mindless hack-&-slashery.
Daggers and every other weapon in the game needs no specific nerfs! Some timing tune-ups or a little more controllability, maybe. Stop trying to ruin my game! Companies are typically too easy to persuade and listen to all the wrong people (whoever is loudest).
Of course, but that seemed to fit what you think happens in CEā¦ All the stuff just magically appears somehow and there is no risk involved - and should be no rewards. Maybe true if you always fight and grind in large groupsā¦ otherwise it doesnāt fit!
Well then you didnāt understand me or shouldnāt have disagreed because thatās the same thing I saidā¦ Indeed a distinction without a difference.
If you donāt like the game that much there are others you can play. Most people like Conan just as it is for the most part. A few wishes here and there - some hope of progress on this feature or that. The things youāre suggesting will likely only make it worse. Itās not like Funcom just made up a bunch arbitrary attributes and threw it out there without testing things (even with player participation!). This is their idea of how it oughta play - not yours. If you like other systems better then play those.
Why does it always resort to this? To this PvE vs PvE thingā¦is it really that difficult to have consensus that there is something wrong when you see a game rich in variety of stylesā¦and yet every youtube about the game has everyone in the same clothing and same weapons? Letās be clear here is anyone saying there isnāt a problem? If not we are just arguing over the solution to the problem and instead of getting creative and figuring a compromise, we lash out at each other instead.
You donāt play PvP. @idjiit was right. I will write what I think now, even if I get flagged. I will blur it, so you can skip it, because it might be too sensitive for you.
You have been warned
Probably all you do in this game is PvE grind and item finding whilst looking at the ass of your female character, making her more sexy with mods and share screenshots to show what a sexy avatar you have. I just need to look at Reddit to see the typical Conan player there. Either itās building or admiring their sexy female characters.
You canāt win with 50 Grit vs 40 STR, 40 VIT in PvP.
You canāt win with 50 Agility vs 40 STR, 40 VIT in PvP.
Heck you are even on a serious disadvantage by just using 30 VIT with ANY build combination.
Who claims that? Why would I even be here then, participating in discussions to make PvP better in this game?
The only thing >> I << donāt like is Funcom and how they handle their game(s).
They are not playing their game, otherwise they wouldāve figured and fixed already after THREE years that javelins, 2h axes, short swords and maces are crap.
They also wouldāve fixed attribute perks not functioning correctly or being too weak after THREE years.
They even needed 1 YEAR to fix armor values being swapped on the reptilian gloves and chest. I did that in 5 MINUTES in the devkitā¦
Because Funcom is fundamentally incompetent at balancing those 2 modes. Everything they do for PvP affects PvE and vice versa. Often enough negatively.
People said weapon XYZ is too OP, Funcom nerfed it. Best examples for that: Sword of Crom and Lifeblood Spear.
People wanted horses and Funcom implemented them. But completly broken and OP in PvP.
On top of that it takes them frickin months or years to fix the problems that they created. This is the worst IMO.
Funny, you actually wanted balance to begin with. You just wanted balance achieved by buffing the bad stuff. But as soon as I suggested balance could be achieved by buffing some and nerfing some, balance became a terrible thing lol.
I never asked for any nerfs.
I specifically wrote in this thread that I donāt think daggers are OP.
(But I do think it seems like feroxic daggers do too much damage compared to other weapons.).
Most people I know grind solo most of the time. Thereās no great risk involved in getting the best gear. On Siptah itās pretty much just Loldarium farm. Itās the same risk as farming most of the gear.
Donāt know whatās meta in EL right now, but fx Yogās Touch dropped from one of the easiest bosses in the game. NO great risk.
Whatās doubtful is that you play pvp or even watch pvp videos.
Yes, I am. And everyone not active in this thread is potentially saying the same with their silence!
Itās a few control freaks who think they know something the rest of us donāt. They want their way even though their way has no basis in reality and hasnāt been tested - and they want it based on their own individual play style not even bothering to considering others. This is how games die. No thank you!
Itās one thing when you can go on TestLive and debug or demonstrate with hours of gameplay some mistake or real imbalance. Itās quite another to just proclaim yourself the god of problems and solutions where no one else thinks so. Look at me, Iām a big on the forums because I say how Siptah is
or tell everyone thereās not enough diversity to accommodate different stylesā¦ oops:
Yes, because I am the god in my own mind and
compared to me! Look at me!! Look at me!!! Me me me!
Thatās a logical fallacyā¦ How is saying Funcom is doing fine without this sort of self promotional āfix it or elseā nonsense, wanting to control anything? Err, kinda doesnāt make a lot of sense when you think about it huh?
Nobody is saying āor elseā anything lol. We have no power over Funcom. We can just try to make them see our different opinions.
What youāre suggesting only makes sense from your point of view, because you donāt want the game changed.
But the fair thing is obviously that people can voice opinions about whatever they want or donāt want changed. You try to hide it as āFuncom is doing fine without usā but in reality you just want only your opinion to matter.
