Original poster is out of their minds. He plays a stealther and each patch seems to cater to nothing but stealthers while screwing over visible tank classes. Why even bother running around with a shield equipped now? It's going to do nothing after shield nerf, especially with multiple dual wield stealthers attacking you.

That is why people are running 2 to 20 man stealther zergs. The game encourages you to be another skill-less ganker so you can collect risk-free RPs while you surf the net on your phone or watch mind numbing shows like the Jersey Shore.



This is probably the only part I agree with. People who run stealth zergs just to gank solos is pretty skill-less. Now, on your idea that if you group you get more RP's, of course its true! You can make 100k in 4 hours in a good 8man, but that's because you're fighting other groups of players, not just ganking solos. Some people do play this game mindlessly, but it is still a skill-full game.

I tried to pick people off again, make a quick kill with mez poison and on about 10 occasions I was able to kill no one at all in all these attempts due to many factors, most of which involved them being in groups, incuding stealthers.


Mythic, please make the game playable...

I am tired of getting zerged and not even able to escape due to someone popping SL, or the failure of vanish, which should have a longer duration and should erase all effects on use and just before it wears off.

The game has become a totally skill-less mess of gankers and low quality, high volume scrubs making better RPs ganking than if they were solo.

We also need a mashable purge Mythic. I'm tired of getting stun, nuked, and puked just because you added 3341268031237805789 forms of CC, but only one purge.

This game is horrible right now and fully unplayable, please fix tjhis mess you created. Thank you...



1. How would they fix the game so soloers can play without being added on?

2. Stop hanging around your fellow alb friends at the alb bridges.

3. Get a higher level of vanish and it will work like a charm, level 1 gives 0.5s immunity and no speed. Higher levels give longer duration AND higher speed.

4. Learn how to pan.

5. Mashable purge would make CC useless and make the game HUGELY unbalanced.

6. Mashable purge would make your envenomline useless.

7. Mashable purge would make casters immune to NS.

8. Learn how to play.

PS: Mythic should remove "stealth" it makes the game unbalanced.

1000 for a solo kill? You rolling xpers?

As I said, as a rr11, I still get about 1200 for killing a rr2, roughly 2k for killing someone close to my RR. As a lower RR, it's way higher.

They would make it worth less for large groups to kill solos and smaller groups than they are currently in. Example: Instead of a 3 man getting 650 RPs each for killing a solo who would have been worth 1300 RPs, they should each get (1300 / 3)* (1/3) for 144 RPs each. (1300 / 3) would be the amount of RPs for a solo kill and (1/3) would be the (# of people in the group who you just killed/# of players in your group). This would discourage ganking and encourage people to play in smaller groups and fight similar numbers. You could also gain more with this method if you were in a smaller group and killed people in larger groups.


2. Stop hanging around your fellow alb friends at the alb bridges.


I don't hang around bridges. I try to be around seiges, but I can't make a kill because of the grouped healing and amount of add ons.


3. Get a higher level of vanish and it will work like a charm, level 1 gives 0.5s immunity and no speed. Higher levels give longer duration AND higher speed.


Vanish only checks effects on use and once the vanish timer wears off, the DoT or effect that landed after you hit the button, but while you were vanished (due to lag or spell delay), will knock you out of stealth again. It does not check effects on vanish timer end too. It is a failure.


4. Learn how to pan.


5. Mashable purge would make CC useless and make the game HUGELY unbalanced.

6. Mashable purge would make your envenomline useless.


So, it isn't useless if you purge and then the assassin reapplies? Or when you purge and someone else in the zerg hits you with something else and you can't do anything? What sense does that make?


7. Mashable purge would make casters immune to NS.


8. Learn how to play.

i can't kill others on my own anymore



it's called MMORPG for a reason. if it would be all about you, you'd have a SSORPG(Simple Singleplayer Online).

MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER ONLINE GAME

you do not PENALIZE people for grouping and playing together in a MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER game... you reward them, and encourage it... because thats how the game is suppose to be played, thats what builds bonds and friendships and builds a community... by people playing together...

not running around solo...

you play solo in a game designed around grouping, thats your choice... live with the consequences of your own decisions.
