yet the memories of live are why I started playing here to begin with.
It was pretty disheartening to have all of my proposals on path of stabbing squig declined, I know I didn't follow the format sometimes or they were dumb ideas, but I was trying to make some sort of contribution, I think I gave up for a while after 2 tries.
All I played at the time was stabbin squig herder, so I thought I had it figured out.
Eventually it got to the point where proposals for stabbin were immediately declined
because of the horizon of client control, and new changes already made and just waiting to be implemented.
Once the changes were announced, It was open to discussion but nothing would change until after we tried it, that is how I understood the post.
It was just recently that client control was released, so we finally got the update.
The new abilities are fun and effective to a degree, I was really tired of getting **** on by white lions mainly. At least I could run away now
I soon realized the flavor and what I loved most about the class had taken a back seat to the new abilities implemented.
Sure I was able to 3v1 2v1 people but, something just didn't feel right the whole time.
Innitally I was upset that mounting in squig armor was taken away, and I remember saying it changed my play style. It was a good change though
and how the class was meant to be played I feel, also it says so in the career description. I just wanted to be melee all the time back when I first hit 40.
I know nothing is forcing me to stay in squig armor the whole time, there is just little to no reason to do otherwise now.
Pounce on ranged classes feels wrong to me, I have arrows. I also have all these abilities, and now I don't want to use half of them, because I can just pounce or charge in/away.
I never thought that stabbin squig herder was really bad to begin with, I just don't understand why there wasn't small adjustments first.
When I started playing on this server, I remember reading mirroring wasn't the path being taken. Now squig herders have furious choppin/runeofabsorbtion this feels totally out of place.
Pounce as well.
The shadow warrior changes were way over the top to me, but it didn't change how the class played so much, it just made them more deadly, same with engineer, same with white lion, not the same for stabbing squig herder.
I hope you can understand where I am coming from, I could write poetry and songs about being a stabbing squig herder I love it so much. It just doesn't feel the same anymore, and it makes me sad gobbo.
I know most everyone loves the changes and I am happy the server moves forward. I just wanted to share how I felt about it, cause it's been bugging me the last couple of months. Different strokes for different folks and all that, I just noticed the other day when I was playing that I wasn't feeling nostalgic anymore, is that a good thing? Only time can tell folks, we'll see after this kush wears off.
