[LCN] Proposed PvP Balance Changes - Sept. 20 2017

that is the bottom line, but the long time players definitely kept them in business all these years, also.

 

No, because Im "new" you said I didnt know what I was talking about. I showed you that your timeline was off and you deflect. Your two cents is worthless, as I said raids had already repeated when we got here. The players older than us had access to them, they didnt come with us. Chill pill, you need it.

 

We all know and agree with that. The difference is you expect to beat anyone older than you because you have played longer, or that is how it seems, I am saying that you could have bought the stuff we bought. You could have hit raids as hard as us. You chose not too, cool, but since you didnt you didnt keep up. It's like ppl that are stuck in their high school football playing days. The world moves on keep pace or get left behind

 

ummmmmmm we HAVE bought what was offered to us. But AGAIN, I am saying this: most of the older players have STOPPED buying because every time there is a new influx of players, there is also a new influx of items to buy. When this game started, there was NO protection, NO calendars, NO raids .... if you attacked a higher level, you got beat for it, end of story. Now with all the "perks" that has been introduced into the game such as the godfather weapons and crates, players of ALL levels are buying them just so they can brag "I beat you". The ones that do NOT spend, but gain their strength by using their skill points and boss drops and job drops and the workshop are the ones at a disadvantage because the bought weapons are stronger for entering a card number than actually PLAYING the game, using the tools that are BASIC to the game. As far as hitting the raids as hard as you, I will only join a FEW of the ones that I am sent so I CAN hit them hard, fast, and consistently. I am ALMOST always in the top 5 for damage AND healing. So your point about hitting a raid hard is mute. Also, when the crates first came out, they were switched out MAYBE once every 3 months, NOT like they are now. Sorry, I'm not spending a ton of money on a game. Yes, I will spend when I want to, NOT when I'm getting beat one by someone that has bought their strength rather than through gameplay. It is a GAME, entertainment, NOT a career. The point is, the game has taken on the aspect of "I've got more toys than you", not "I've played the game and built my character up and taken my lumps along the way".

 

I bet when you walked to school as a kid it was 20 miles uphill both ways too! That aside, I'm a bit confused, aren't you trying to join the KPL (Kano Pro League) like the rest of us? I'm hoping to be drafted in the 1st round this year, that's where the endorsements are! If I can get some nice endorsements I can get my house electrical wiring coated in gold. That will make my electricity faster, and we all know Force = Mass times Acceleration. So if my electricity goes faster then my attacks will be more powerful. I'm pumped! Let alone the internet. If mine gets any faster my computer may turn into Skynet, then I will be set for global domination!

If it looks like I won't be a 1st round draft choice into the KPL, I'll probably go back to school and get my Masters of Mouse Clicking. Big money in that, it will take longer but I'll still get to where I want - the top of the world, making a living off playing a clicky game. Forget about taking lumps, I'm in this for the money! I get paid dolla dolla bills yall with every click of the mouse!

 

LOL then go back to school .... NO, it was NOT 20 miles uphill both ways .... but apparently YOU fell down a couple of hills ... ya know, like Jack and Jill ... only you took Jack's position and broke your crown. As for endorsements, you have to have TALENT first darlin', and in THAT aspect you are SERIOUSLY deficit. So you go play your clicky game and keep spending as I will play when I want, spend what I want and I'll get to where I wanna be via the "slow boat to China" compared to the "Matrix jumping" that the heavy spenders want to do.

 

So is being besties out?

 

I appreciate the civility in your discourse @DumbDumb & @LuscLadyGreywolf but lets steer this back on topic please. Perhaps once these changes are released you 2 can find common ground and truly become besties... That would be a heck of an outcome

Edit: About the post deletes. It is fine if people do not agree but we need to keep this discussion about the PvP changes as a whole.

 

Edit: Bowing out of this discussion, happy gaming all.

 

Interesting, I have always wondered when a boost is effective?? Is it in affect for more than fighting other accounts or their bosses like for instance; in attacking in SYndwar , Battle Arena or even raids??

 

I have answers but it will be so many pages out in this thread.. will it make a difference or even be seen? Plus why do we do KaNo staff job.. and how do we apply , lol!? Seriously though there are a few ideas I would love to share with all here to move in right direction with balance in game but it is worth something I will not get by doing so

 

Which boost types are you referring to. But no, these will not apply for Bosses, Syndicate Wars or Battle Arena.

 

The changes to LCN PvP have been released. It should be noted that the affect of this change is not as drastic as was initially discussed in some of the first posts in this thread however this still adjusts the weight of your Personal Attack/Defense when Attacking/Defending.

We will be monitoring feedback around this change so please let us know what you think as you interact with PvP in LCN over the coming days.

 

Smack - is it possible to have some feedback on what impact it has had - please

 

Given this was just released we don't have much to report on impact. However from our modelling, which was built with real game data, we expect to see that players with more Attack Skill Points will do better in PvP vs opponents with not as much of an investment in Defense SP.

We also expect to see the reverse of this, if you have more Defense Skill Points you will defend better vs attacks from someone with not as much of an investment in Attack SP.

Of course your personal Loadout and the items your Mob bring into battle will still factor into this calculation but we increased the weight on Attack/Defense Skills slightly.

 

My fight list changed for the worse

 

Sad news for defensive weighted accs then ?

 

How so Sandy? This change does not affect who is chosen for your Fight List.

Also how do you figure this is "sad news" for defensive weighted accounts?

 

Smack I will let you know - ty for your prompt responses

 

"It should be noted that the affect of this change is not as drastic as was initially discussed"

It's pretty damn dramatic. So now new and old players can now officially agree on the merits of spending money on this game.
