daily reminder that ror is not a solo game.

Like, if this is not a solo game, if solo is so irrelevant, why do you even mind? Or do you mind enough to even post in this thread?
THEN...If a meager absorb tactic or tiny self heal for the SW hurts your view of the game you should be asking for the removal of those tactics and skills in EVERY OTHER CLASS...

Just for consistency and coherence's sake, you know....

Anyway, if this is not a solo game, I'd like to know why many years after, people still know who, for example, Volgograd is, and the most watched videos of the game are by soloers.

Couldn't it be possible that this is ALSO a solo game? Can't it be a zerg game and a warband game and a 12 man game and a duo roam game and a solo game and a dungeon group game and even a solo pve world exploring game all at the same time?

No one forces you to choose any content in the game. Let other people have their fun.
Can't we try to become less rigid and censorious in a ..hum... FUN AND ENTERTAINMENT designed environment?

Thats a great point!

I dont get, nor agree the urge every class to have all the possible tools. That is killing everything unique and worth playing in ror.
Sw is god damn borderline op as it is, instead of moaning all for it just hope to not become trash tier after the rdps patch

Correct, if I was SW I wouldn’t complain around these devs bc you might get the nef bat.

Just look at how they destroyed Slayer in the mdps “rework” and now its a dead class.

Good one, like the dev's are gonna nerf this class. I agree that Assualt spec should get a self heal of some sort. Possibly mirror the Monstro heal proc.

EDIT: Make single target mele trains great again

The IB's self heal was also made useless recently.

But here's the thing we need to remember (and sadly the devs are ignoring it for the sake of making whiners happy) the game was never meant to be balanced. Classes were made to work with other classes in order to win the battle. if every class is even then it kills the game. Actually the constant buffing to WE and nerfing of all of Order classes is killing the game, but balancing the classes is horrible.

SW is decent at aoe.

Single target and roam it is sub par

Comparing its took kit to squiggie makes it look very bad indeed.

I just hope that they fix the broken disrupt rates and the SH pet damage.

Beside that the risk/reward of the rdps classes is really off at the moment. e.g. as BW you take much higher risks and the damage just isn't there. The damage is on par with classes like SH/SW/Magus/Engis if not even worse but their toolkit and survivability is much worse with no escapes and self hurting mechanic.

Stealth classes have not much more than going solo / small scale. While you can also excel in blobbageddon.

1. There is no causal relationship between what game is and solo clips. People watch what is easy to understand and what entertains. Some sports are looking fine, some are so freaking specific that its painful to watch, literally imagine watching a chess/golf match for example and compare it with football/hockey/etc. It works the same way with solo clips here, they are quite easy to produce, they are selling best. However it doesnt anyhow means that solo is a true endgame or the only thing that people wish. Brutal organised gameplay (any GvG, 6v6, 24v40+, 24v24) is way more intense, demands so much more skills and focus then solo roaming, its just beyond imagination.
But! If someone would be creating a content of organised gameplay the way like some people do with soloroaming, that would be nuts. Nevertheless, those who are actively playing in organised environment (whoever who is still left tho i should note) are busy actually playing.

More indepths parts of this have already been talked thru this year, here is a link viewtopic.php?t=60200&start=100#p590774

#2&3 i actually fully agree, those are strong points. Obviously solo roaming is a part of gameplay and a valid game mode (environment), but main issue that its just one of those game modes (environments) while many have this organised gameplay unexplored and mistakenly consider that everything should orbit around solo roaming (here adds up that most fancy content is solo roaming clips). Thats a huge strawmen and an issue.

The game needs less regen, not more.
