That’s everything we’ve got for you! Don’t forget to let us know what you think of these changes.
Brimstone nerf set my Clanboss progress way back(like 3 million damage)! I was very close to 2 keying nightmare. I was using Brimstone on Pythion and it now needs ACC to land. WTF!
So, you nerfed the brimstone and left intact the most annoying blessing, players complain about - the sheep, GJ keep it up! 😣
Translation:
"We hate players who don't spend 1000$+ a week on this game and nerfed anything that might help them. You're welcome!"
Score for plarium = 0
Company without vision of the players.
from bad to worse...
Well, great start of Plarium vs Players year! Nerf the PvE to get an illusion of improved PvP is the dumbest move by far. I'm sure that several of us players are one step closer to quitting this continuus abuse from developers.
Just take a look at those shepherds in Plat Arena leaderboards...
Typical trash changes that weren't needed, eliminate the need to do iron twins though, goodjob 😂
Year of players vs plarium, where in the end even some whales will quit because noone else will be here 👌
PVP Content viable Blessings.
What I have heard. Since I'm in no state of playing with the big guys. My Account ist to young ( only 2 years) and Im no spender.
Polymorph is messing up the Arena. The Problem with incinerate and lethal dose
Incinerate and lethal Dose ( Poison and HP Burn) would Trigger the sheep even morgen iften. So why pick the two Blessings, that don't have a massive Impact in the Arena.
Temporal Chains
The Platplayers complained, that some Champs who placed Buffs at the start of the fight could not be used anymore. Also the devine speedset ( which you can buy every so often in the Shop - Which is more effissient to buy Artefactsets then to actualy try to Farm them).
Which makes matters worse the effect of Temporal Chains staks.
So Plarium listened to the Plat Playerbase and buffed temporal Chains.
Since it is the year of PVP*. Which makes perfect sense.
That ist also why Incinerate and Lethal Dose will not find its was into PVE content.
Iron Twins Dungeon and Rewards.
The rewards from farming this Dungeon ist lacking at best. And only the higher stages (14 and 15) bring some value.
Brimstone helped a lot in this Dungeon because the Debuffs could not be removed by the boss.
There was still the RNG Factor of placing the Smite Debuff at the right time.
But it helped. Since the boss has a high resistence. The Gen requirement ist quite high.
Luckily most legendary Champs which we're in the Team did not had to have the high Gen to place the Smite Debuff.
Now that is obsolete.
So for the new Players it is even harder to farm the Dungeon in Hope to get enough Points to eventually buy a 4 or even 6 Star Blessing for their Champs.
So the Nerf to Brimstone f...cks the Playerbase Double. It also negates the core mechanics of Blessings. It is Plariums way of saying to the Playerbase. Every Penny spend in this Game ist not worthwhile (anybody Nerf in Urogrim)
*Plarium vs Playerbase
What a silly rebalance. Sorry Plarium that is a patch like a 80's text adventure.
After the most recent update, the game will not play. It just locks up. I guess I will not be playing for a while.
Bonjour à tous et toutes comme d’habitude $$$$ et en plus avec cette mise à jour en avoir encore moins je ne donne pas chers de votre durée dans le temps si vous persistez ce jeu est vraiment reservé qu’au joueur de gros $ cela devient injouable
I actually enjoy playing this game and like the changes so far. Keep up the great character ideas--I am loving it! I would like to know how to get another Rhonda and her skins. That is all. Happy New Year! Stay safe yall
Sorry to tell you but yall messed up Brimstone, yall should know it is hard for F2P players to get 5 and 6 star blessings. I think it is wrong of yall to cater to big spenders, and with this change u should at least bring the cost down for the blessing shop and put some immortal and Eternal souls in the daily login rewards and or in the quest. To at least give the F2P player a chance to progress in this game
Agree with you 100%
What about the core machanics. They do not count anymore?
It seems to me, because their MOD wrote: "Brimstone needing accuracy and being cleansable is a... thing now."
Brimstone now is very bad :(( My clan now highly likely won't kill second hydra, also problems on the Iron Twins after this update. My clan mates are frustrated.
Besides of all that for some of us you made the game unplayable.The X button dont work so we get stuck....
Yo what's up with the lagging and auto shutdown
after update game will not run, l can not even sign on. "job well done" get it together
This really sucks...
As a f2p-player I was just this weekend beginnig to 2-key cb-nm, and thinking about moving on to unm... but now I'm way back at 3 keys again because the brimstone needing acc....
As f2p there is no way I will get to 6-star awakening either...
So now my main char is stuck with a worthless Brimstone blessing as she has no accuracy.
I guess that settles whether I'm going to renew my monthly gem pack or not. Why even bother when my progress gets nerfed to hell?
I am impressed by the constructive criticisms I have read.
I know that in my restaurant business, if I tell loyal customers that I am making changes that I better not just increase prices and eliminate popular food choices. I need to bring down some prices and increase menu items.
I suggest that you increase your rewards and listen to your informed customer base while they are still on your plaatform.
