Population migration concerns
Posted: Thu Jun 18, 2020 3:30 pm
As usual, I would like to start by thanking everyone involved in the project, there were some nice changes (increase in rewards from bags) and some not so good changes (SW buffs).
Since the new SW buffs, seems like many Destro orders migrated to Order to play the new FOTM class. Implementing these changes without some buffs on Destro side triggered this imo. I would suggest next time you buff a class, buff something on the other faction as well to balance the population. It feels clearly overwhelming atm to play Destro. We just get pushed and pushed, and it's not because you buffed another of their damage dealers, but because people moved to order to play the new buffed class, so less population playing on destro side.
I would also like to point out that Order has now so many overpowered classes that I'm sure it represents another incentive to the players to migrate. Name me one class on Destro side which is stronger than their mirror on Order side please. I dare you.
These buffs were badly implemented imho - 1k dmg / tick from SW DoT (I crit for 1.2k max on squishies with my guillotine)- not to mention there are other broken classes already on Order side (cough - WL - cough), triggered so many ppl to swap factions. I mean Mara is so broken (in the real sense of the word) I don't even wanna start, but you guys clearly focus on Order.
I hope it's my mistake thinking the Devs are Order biased. Not sure what you wanted to achieve with these overpowered buffs on SW, but clearly it doesn't go as you planned imo. Aren't you tired with people crying on the forums after you implement changes like this? But wait, maybe they don't complain but instead reroll SW and one shot every1, cuz hey, it's free. After celebrating 6 years, I would've thought u knew better... It's funny you still haven't nerfed WL tbh, I understand Secrets plays one but cmon, how many ppl crying and videos and print screens you need to understand there is a problem with that class, just like the new SW?. Do I need to enroll as a dev on the server to get some buffs on destro side? I got some Python xp, so hit me up.
Suggestions? I got none tbh. I understand ranged SH will get some buffs but I really doubt this will trigger an inverted migration given SH has a higher skill cap to play than SW, due to pet management. BTW, I understand WL pets receive less dmg from AOE but SH pets don't?
If things don't move toward a more balanced position between the factions, I'm afraid every1 will just play Order. In 2 weeks of casual play you can get 40, so I might as well reroll order too, why stay on the side that gets permanent kicks in the teeth? And all the city loggers on destro side thinking they are the best for winning cities, that might change soon.
