The state of PvP in PoE

Yeah Mulla, your (only) build is so technical (you probably need to push TWO buttons, that's incredibly hard), it's definitely impossible for normal people like me to play it.

Meanwhile I try whatever builds I feel like building if the gameplay seems fun (games are supposed to be fun remember ?) wich allow a wider view of the state of the game than other players with tunnel vision stuck in the golden age of D2 pvp or PoE open beta.

If I had to choose someone to send and help to fix pvp that would be Lapiz and Markuz because those guys experimented with multiple builds and have a pretty good understanding how the game work and Kalhium because he see perfectly what's wrong with the actual damage formula.

if we had sent lapiz to fix hld pvp,

he would buff all the damage output by 25-30%,
acro is OP, fuck it
he'd buff rumi flask to (75/75)
game would be all about flasks / flask management

ahfack,

he'd fuck all the ele damage builds, bury them until the core of magma. we would have junta regime of melee builds.

Icedeal,

would nerf everything

KillingFloor,

would turn the game into Street Fighter 4

Markusz,

He is a reasonable guy.

Libritannia,

wouldnt attend to such project, he'd keep buying less character size corrupted jewels in sarn pub for 1c

rlowe,

would ban everyone who has more than 10ex in their stash or 50ex+ gear and play pvp alone

runawayfixer,

he is reasonable also

don't take this very serious please

Haha rup LOVE YOU :)

I think tommy would actually do a good job.

Now it depend if you want a pvp balanced or a pvp were you can abuse shit.
Lets be honest most of the big pvpers here are just abusing broken shit.

yeah Tommie would have been a great choice as well but he is been out the pvp scene for quite a while now, not sur he is up to the actual meta right now.

You say that like it's a bad thing.







Honestly, since I'm PvPresident because everyone voted for me in the PvP Presidential Election we all definitely had, I'll go to NZ and fix PvP my damn self... and the help of all my advisors, and my translator, Mygalomorphea, since he lives there. The nerf hammer WILL come down! PVP will be about some degree of skill! My era will bring forth many players, and only the best will survive!

You mean the only build allowed would be 2H cyclone ?

FUCK no. I've had to put up with cyclone before, but I'd be fair and give it some of its damage back at least. Also, I'm aware that I spam icestorm a bunch, but I can't exactly say it's the definition of skill to use a goddamn attack where you move AND hit a shitload of times, but that's just the way I see it. Bring it, Mulla ;)

If anything, I'd encourage more of an engaging experience, something that isn't just making your character strong enough to just stand there and kill people without moving (or thinking). Part of what makes pvp fun for me is having to move around like fucking crazy and actually trying to hit someone (with GC), so... yea, idk. But I'd definitely say that bow skills would have some form of damage reduction, mainly with secondary damage. Frostwall wouldn't cause projectile AoE damage to anything that's on the OTHER SIDE of it, so no EA or AB (unless you're on the same side as where shit's hitting).


But none of this is happening, so who gives a shit.

Hahaha, always funny to read these forums.

Thanks for the kind words btw. Also not sure why would be necessary to fly over to GGG when we are (me at least) not sure if GGG takes our effort posts into serious consideration from these forums. Also a 2 way conservation over the internet via email / phone seems more feasible, but that much is enough about details.

Also I'm still behind my own post from the other thread about quick balance changes, that didn't get response, so I don't know what you guys think. I saw you supported runaway's idea mostly, I also liked that, but the implementation of that for me seems much more easy to explain than to code, and practically as hard as fixing aoe overlap shotgunning overall in the game. Would be the best to have, but if we can only get easy changes then touching the PvP formula seems the best way to get started.

I'd never considered the translation error angle, maybe you guys have pvp all wrong? Virtually all forms of communication and entertainment in NZ are child abuse, maybe ggg made their pvp scene to reflect that?
