I like it!

Finally they got rid of mlxp. It only took what -- 8 years? -- of players begging them to drop that pure timesink. Next: getting rid of artifact leveling.

 

-----signature-----

Sure ML XP is gone but sounds like it is still going to overall cost you when purchasing ML credit (haven't logged in yet).

 

-----signature-----

I love the idea of removing MLXP but Mythic needs to realize how much of a money/time sink this game still is just to enjoy the game at 50.


At this point, if they cut the cost of everything by 1/2...would it really be a big issue? I just don't understand why they cripple their own game. This game won't get many new players, or long lasting returning vets if they choose to keep the end-game grind this high.

Finally...

Great patch, Mythic hit the target this morning.

Oh my God!

I FINALLY get ML10 weapons. And you guessed it.... a 2h sword for my arms which I love and a Conflag for my merc! And these tards nerf them! I quit this great game for years because of nerfs in this game. This is by far the best online fantasy game ever. I SO much wish I could buy it and fire these people. I HATE, HATE, HATE NERFS! And so do most of us who play hard and FINALLY get the things (edit).

Then they nerf them. I can not express in words how much I dislike the god syndrome this game has always produced in their developer cultures. And what is amazing is the people who come after developers before them do the Same things and the suits at corporate never hear of it and could care less. Just absolutely amazing....

Just really brilliant (edited but I dont like it...)

Edit: I had to tone this down. Like the game, VN boards has become nerfy and not allow expression of feelings or thought. But IF I could say how much I dislike nerfs and not get banned I would.... Nerf the things I worked so hard to get. Grrrr......

This seems like a strange statement considering that every MMO I've played that took balance seriously had developers that weren't afraid to nerf things if they needed them.

It is not a "Strange statement", troll. The developers make these things. They put them out for testing. They wait months and months. Finally some of us actually are able to get the very things They made, tested, and produced.

If you can not see the "Strange" thing is that the developers are incompetent then that is "Strange" indeed. Bye troll.

Nerfs are fine, when they are needed. The problem most players have is the lag time between when the item/ability gets introduced and the nerf bat swings. Sometimes a definate nerf hits on an ability or item and they have the nerve to call it a bug fix, or "it was not working as intended"/"is now working as intended", after years of being that way.


Astral weapons needed this nerf how long ago? Now keep the pet in your frontal arc to negate its every swing, depending on class...
