Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
@coop500 You’re not fighting with your weapons in werewolf form, so why should you benefit from their passives?
The 30% Weapon/Spell Damage passive isn’t working right now and once it does, that alone should make up for losing the weapon passives.

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Vengeance Campaign
General feedback:
If Vengeance is anywhere as near as popular as you hope it will be there will be queues, and Golden Vendor will be difficult to get to; consider moving Golden Vendor out to PVP merchants with the battlegrounds guys.
People are going to want unlocked faction option. The Grey Host crew definitely don't want unlocked faction so there needs to be another option. Is that Vengeance? I dunno.
Please replicate that channeled siege repair from Vengeance onto Grey Host. Its a good QoL improvement.
Please actually spend some time improving performance on Grey Host. You seem committed to keeping it around. You need to give it some love. The performance is poor, the scoring mechanisms are broken / unbalanced, the map is unbalanced, yet the character build and PvPvE mechanisms drive a lot of player retention. I know software is super hard and risky to change, so just throw more hardware at it and dedicate to Grey Host to get some more headroom on calculations.

Re: Sorc pet hate has to stop
Against 1 player this quickly becomes oppressive. Against a zerg your pet quickly dies.Pets body blocking is the ENTIRE point.
Ever hear a Warden complain that their Netch keeps getting zerged down, or that their Shalks keep dying before they reach their target? Nope.

While we're at it: I think the guards need new wanted posters - I've already stolen several each of all currently available onesHow about adding a few more, perhaps of specific characters/villains from different zone stories? At least if it makes sense lore-wise, of course.
I'd generally like to see more stealable furnishing items added, especially to zones that didn't have them (or only very few) yet.
They could add a daily city guard mission to capture bandits across the map.
If you capture the bandits alive, the guards give you the full reward.
If you kill the bandits, the guards give you half the reward.

Re: Nevermind
It is depressing. The fear of losing something that you know will only make yourself competitive at best, hangs over us all.
But it will be Sorc players that pay for it in your stead, as it happens every time. So I wouldn't worry about it. Others will suffer more for you.

And why should the lower difficulty players be punished by being forced into a difficulty they did not sign up for?
They could simply avoid the fight if it were marked. Why should the higher difficulty players be punished by being forced into a difficulty they did not sign up for?
They aren't being punished. They chose to enable the toggle knowing that they'd be mixed in with lower difficulty players on occasion. Lower difficulty aren't griefing by continuing to play the game the way always have.
With a toggle, you just have to understand that if it's really going to get to you that bad that other people are around in an MMO, that you'll have to play a time when the area isn't busy. I already accept that I won't get much benefit from it every time I play but that most of the time I will. And that is good enough for me. So I won't be yelling at anyone.
Re: Werewolf Update From The Combat Refresh Team
Question for those that are testing it, does the new werewolf update make them viable tanks? Or no?
Depends on what you mean by 'viable'
They can apply Major Breach, they have a taunt, and can be pretty durable while providing Major Courage to the group. But they're missing a pull and stuff like that. Or a ranged taunt.
For dungeons and groups that already agreed to try it, it's probably fine, but for trial groups that expect a 'real' tank with all the bells and whistles, probably not.

Re: Please move up Necromancer rework to 2026
The class seriously needs to be refreshed as soon as possible.
If that refresh order remains like this, the class will be a complete “pay to lose”. Other classes will simply be way too strong and the subclasses that Necro are relying upon will be unusable.
I can tell you that if this complete Necro death happens I will be out of the game because I just feel an extreme discomfort using other classes.
And when I try going into trials and I use a Necro did, I am told to leave and use another class. Currently the only gameplay we have left is tanking. But for the reasons I mentioned, soon tanking will also be dead for us.
I placed a lot of money, effort and time on my Necro chars and to be forced to leave them on the side just feels wrong. Everyday I log into the game, I see that Necro grand overlord that I used to play with in PvP and that now I only use him for some overland contents.
Devs seriously need to refresh that class year.

How about the flip side of that? When average-powered or newbie players are fighting a boss and some massively-OP vet players come along and melt the boss, denying the lesser-powered players from receiving any loot privileges due to the OP vets doing the majority of the damage, punish the OP vets? Because that scenario has been going on for years, and caused much grief (as expressed in these forums) to those players who couldn't receive any event coffers from a boss. How is it griefing only if OP vet players on Vestige difficulty are suddenly treated to the same scenario they've been griefing lowbie players with for years?
You can't have it both ways. If OP vets have been griefing lowbie players for years and not being punished for it, then lowbie players should not be punished for supposedly "griefing" vet players on Vestige difficulty. How about let's be fair, not entitled.

Re: A social issue people are reluctant to bring up
How did this thread get hijacked into a cry to remove logs? Leave logs alone. It's a great tool for personal and group improvement and it's not just for the sweats nor should it be restricted to sweats. If you're not familiar with raiding beyond normals and vet Crags or with how thousands of players use logs, then don't advocate for its removal or restrictions.
The irony in wanting to lock out casuals from logs to protect them from perceived gatekeeping due to logs is enough to choke a Titan.
I think appearing as anonymous in logs is enough if you want privacy in pugs, or you can be the change you want to see and just make your own group to ensure you and your group are safe from all those alleged pug loggers out there who join pugs to mock and shame casuals. Since you're the leader, you have the power to immediately boot any toxic loggers once they start their toxic log spiel.
BTW, what platform is this such a huge issue that toxicity is abounding to the point where logs must be removed or limited to protect the casuals? I'm on PCNA and raid a lot in both pugs and guilds. I've never seen logs used to bash or abuse casuals. In my experience, the average pug doesn't even know what a log is and if there's someone in a pug running logs, they don't post about it in chat.
I've found the most toxic players in pugs are often the most casual or low to mid tier players who aren't running logs. I've run logs in pugs if I'm testing a build and want to see how I personally perform with it, but I've started to run it more in pugs specifically for those toxic casuals and low level raiders who always complain in chat about low group damage or blame others for something going wrong. When it's pointed out there's a log running to prove that they're actually the problem not others, they usually shut up or leave group. Running logs in pugs is also good to find out who keeps pulling before the tanks which is a common problem in pugs that can't always be fixed by asking whoever's doing it to stop.
