Feedback Upcoming Buccaneer updates and plans

Damage taken in barrel will now be at meso expense like meso guard. High pingers rejoice.

 

Does this mean you guys can also make mounts register client side instead of server side?! I'd kiss u on the forehead in a heartbeat

 

ive read your thread and got informed and amused, thanks.


All this barrel cancel discussion kinda reminds me all the wow ele shaman discussions regarding talent builds.
Build 1: according to simulations, superior, but in real world almost impossible to pull off due to player skill and external stuff like avoiding mechanics and what not
build 2: on paper worse, but actually frees your mental capacity, is easier to pull off in real world, and actually gives you realistic estimation of your dps


Now that the barrage is gonna be really fast, the only "real" benefit to barrel cancel is gonna be ability to resume moving faster after using barrage i think.
tldr.
nothing ever happens

 

It seems like you dont have to worry about this too much since it seems like the staff wants to (eventually) move away from ping-depency.

I think what people are disagreeing on right now might be how the new patch barrel cancelling will impact cast time. With new barrage animation of 1350ms, will barrel reduce that to something like just 1300ms or as much as 1050ms?

 

Barrel animation time is not tied to the skill you use it with i.e. it should stay around 1300 ms.

 

Since latency issues are brought up - wondering if there's anything planned for high-ping corsairs

No one really brings it up because no one with high latency plays corsair, but the boat mount and dismount has a ping check. It makes corsair unplayable for anyone without decent ping.

I've never seen an official staff response regarding this matter.

 

Its already a known issue. Just let staffs cook.

btw.
Instead of fighting for fair setting I would like to suggest glazing each others or do whatever to charge social credit.
You might have a small chance of making it onto the list of heirs.
But once you inherit, you can say whatever you want, wherever you want.

First of all, we already talk in a language that is not our mother language. so what's the point to win a fight that is already unfair?

 

Can I apply to be your heir

 

You are No.69 on the list.
NEXT ONE!

 

I agree that 10 seconds barrel cancel is not the solution.

I am glad that Pasta responded and confirmed that removing the ping dependency is on the roadmap. This shows that it is clearly an issue that has to be fixed.

However, the current solution feels more like a band-aid. The fact that staff is planning to address the ping dependency in the future shows that discrepancy will still exist even after the barrage update.

 

Sorry to get back to your message after such a long time. BigFoot is not really part of the problem i described, although it would be nice to have this solved while at it.
the problem i had at early levels, was that while i had completed all 3 Tiers of the HP Challenge, i would still be dying on Ravana if i were to get hit by the mobs and then a hard hit from the boss. After level 100 monsters really start to hit alot harder as it's scaling towards the "Mid to end-game", and the HP Challenge just doesn't really follow up on it. Sure it will be easy if you have some funds, but as a completely new player in this community, it was anything but easy getting past this stage. Sadly i was unfortunate with scrolling, and buying completed items were very much unreachable in terms of meso. Then on top of that i also didn't have the healthpool to survive stuff properly as sometimes (and i don't know if this is for all classes or just Pirate) the autopotion of pets fail to proc.
if there is going to be 5000 health added to the HP Challanges, i think it would make a world of difference if the health gets distributed equally at every threshold. if each 10th level were to gain 625hp equally untill 180, the earlier levels would be manageable, and when the healthpool becomes less important, you will still go up a decent amount.
I really don't see the point in giving the additional health at the final levels where it doesnt matter anymore.
Thats just solving a problem in a place where that problem doesn't exist anymore.

 

Is manual potting at early levels for 5 minute bossing content too much to ask?
Sorry, I'm finding it hard to empathize with this even if I want to.

It seems like you are being given adequate HP for bossing through the challenge system, but you want even more HP in order to fall back on things like autopotting in order to survive multiple hits. This is why people HP wash - to navigate around certain annoyances. It's not a requirement, but a luxury afforded through investment of time and NX.

 

Maby bucc should get even more hp than 22.5k and also add some dammage midigation. Changer barrel to a midigation buff

 

I just don't wanna be seduce locked by AUF in to a tripple combo that is certain death -.- also hei hits 24k touch close combat needs more hp to be a solide pinner... not to use auto pots on pet...

 

bucc after warrior is the easiest and cheapest class to wash, this HP is even too high for challenge, remembering that the purpose of the challenge is to make it capable of creating content, not in an optimized way

 

So which is it? A complaint about early level HP challenge thresholds or late game?

For the Auf scenario, you have plenty of counterplay options. You can use heroes will, bishops can shield, bishops can Will and heal, and you can TL all of those.

 

LMAO

 

hp challenged bish faces more "sure" death scenarios than hp challenged buccs in auf.....

 

I yearn for Auf's touch

 

the last time we tried that you died
