Well, I am on my way home from a very VERY long day yesterday that went from about 8am to 1:30am with Turbine. Met some awesome people. and yes, got to spend a lot of time in the pit. I am suprisingly pleased regarding the discussions I had and it has given me a lot of hope for the future of PVP. I think you guys being hopeful as well would be just.
I have not had my post discussion yet so I am not sure what can and cannot be revealed as of yet. So I will go over some posts, but I think you guys will be pleased.
Miss you guys too.
I agree that audacity in it's current form needs tweaking. It started off as a way to take fights from being swayed within the first 30 seconds. However, it is now at the point where it is not really doing what it should be, in my opinion, and needs to be re-worked a bit.
After the initial outcry, the whole hatred for commendations has kind of subsided. I'm suprised that you say commendations are good the way they are. Most people do not like the cap behind them or the limitatons that they have for purchasing items. I think the system as room to grow and be evolved. But that may be another discussion
I don't know if audacity should be removed...I do think it at least needs to be rebuilt. I will say I am on the fence on whether or not it should or should not remain in the game. I've thought about both. So I do see what you are saying from that side.
More things to spend commendations on...YES. Most defanetly. With that, I think the cap should be changed. And depending on what people want to be able to buy. Maps, skins, jewelry, consumables. Suggestions would be great
6 armor sets!?!? Good gracious man!! I personally am not a set bonus person. Mostly because they are one sided and the pvp set bonuses can completely negate the most basic of creep abilities. I would wait to check out the new class overhauls before bringing out what set bonuses should be. There is no idea on what kind of true balance will come with the new changes to freeps and the creep for Helms Deep.
Aud armor was meant to lengthen fights based on less damage coming in and calming CC down. However that isn't really working out too much right now. So it is something that I think needs to be looked at and re-worked.
I can see maps for comms. I cant stand the map grind as it takes weeks due to cooldowns. Alternative is the store or sigils. Or maybe allow it to be an account wide unlock upon completion the first time. So for example, you get your poor maps on your warleader, then get on your defiler and you can purchase the maps for comms. Would that be something people might like?
I like the ideas regarding more spending for freeps. LI damage types, etc. I would like to see some nice cloaks come in. (similar to PVE raid cloaks) PVE only players dont understand what it takes to get geared up and ranked in the moors and it is just as time consuming(if not more) as a raid. SO why not have stats on jewelry or cloaks that is equivilant or close to raid gear?
Thank you. Support is greatly apperciated. I think after this visit, people will be pleased. I wish more than anything that I could just blurt out everything that happened. But once I know what can or cannot be said, you will know.
I will say you hit the nail on the head regarding time and resources. I do not think you should give up just yet. (this is not a Turbine pitch trust me). After yesterday, I think people will be happy.
Well knowing how to fix a broken system is a challenge in itself. An even bigger challenge is to find the time and resources to do it. I will say...it is a known issue
Hopefully the end of this thread finds you somewhat more hopeful everyone. However feel free to smack me around some more
Forgive the spelling mistakes. I am beyond exhausted.
