Well… you certainly could have fooled me
Here I was thinking that I’m the evil guy, who apparently hates thralls… so nothing I say should ever be considered, by anyone, till the end of days… for such a despicable act.
For context, thralls already had like 2k health when that thread was made… and if you read the actual title of the thread… it’s asking to buff them…
So me saying that they don’t need 10k is not “asking for them to be nerfed”, it’s simply disagreeing with the suggestion to buff them to combat performance problems.
You do realize there have been several bugs not too long ago allowing to thrall bosses that could go over 100k hp, which a lot of pvp players happily abused… Did that stop PvP offline raids?.. No…
Do you know why? Because even the less smart humans tend to be smarter than basic AI… so they can climb on a little bar stool and poke them with a poisoned spear for 10 minutes
Thralls have never been proper offline defense in PvP… the only time they had “use” was when they were so out of balance that they one-shot every player - even then it was more about getting caught off-guard than actually posing a challenge to most players.
I do not think thralls are part of the solution for PvP offline raids… fixing the holes in dynamic raid protection are more plausible.
There’s this little feature called DBNO that was designed exactly to prevent that
Either way… I never asked for nerfs… but even if we pretended I did, it wouldn’t be my fault if Funcom listened to that - so how exactly is you being angry at me for thralls being nerfed justified?
Well, it came across quite a bit hostile - so I went ahead and reported your post like I said I would. I asked you to stop several times nicely.
I have no axe to grind with you, I don’t even remember you from that thrall thread you keep bringing up… however if you actually scroll to the end of that thread, you’ll see that Marcos and I stopped arguing and made up and continued being friendly - it was just a temporary heated argument.
And the result of that thread was actually my thrall guide, because he raised an interesting point that new players might not know how to optimize thralls so they would seem far more fragile to them. Meaning that the thread actually resulted in something positive - at least I’d like to think so - which happens rarely around here.
So… could you please stop haunting me all across the forums with those frowny faces and accusing me of random things like hating thralls or only posting here to advertise my mods every time I say something in any thread? Thank you.
