Re: DK is extremely, ludicrously, overpowered in PvP.
It's only overpowered because the other classes haven't been refreshed yet.

Re: Idea: add indicator for challenge difficulty
Not everyone in this game is an *** brotomofhyrule wrote: »Why though?
What reason would any one person need to know what difficulty someone else has chosen? Besides trying to whisper “lol ur a noob” to anyone who picked a lower difficulty.
Why are there titles then? Are you telling people that they are noobs if they don't have your cool title? Or why are levels/cp visible for everyone? Who is calling a lower level a noob? Nobody does this.
One benefit could just be that it you see another Vestige for example, you can ask him directly to group up with me and not say " lol noob" why would you even come to this conclusion first? The negativity is so exhausting.

Re: I wish that Tomes had a Tutorial because I am confused
It's just dressed up endeavours and golden pursuits.
I am not sure what the confusion is about?
You had to click on the daily rewards to get them, same thing here.

Re: Current Challenge Difficulty Model will penalize Life-tapping Abilities
No that is just a complete trivialization of the issue. This is not about full DPS players with RotPO/Reaving Blows no braining through it. If you don't care about that stuff, so be it. But there are genuinely balanced and even underpowered abilities and sets that are fully designed around their Life Taps. Just because you have a personal grudge against some cookie cutter setups, doesn't mean that all other abilities that follow the same logic have to stay in the dirt.
Do I think beam and HA setups enable to much healing from cleave with those aforementioned Tap sources? Yeah, it is quite brainless.
Does that make Blood Mist busted?
Does that make Blood Thirst busted?
Does that make Swallow Soul busted?
No. They are often barely worth bringing even with optimized setups. They don't need to be punished just because some noob builds get too much free AoE.
I am also not asking to buff them to fully compensate the difficulty. On the base difficulty they are balanced so that their output is comparable to other heals. Burning Embers is a good example, as it was changed from a Tap to a regular Heal just last patch. The output is in the same ballpark. It will be able to keep up with other passive heals also on Vestige difficulty, while all heals that are Tap-based will just be trash.
What are these abilities for then? Pretending to be basic OP in overland? Being borderline useless in PvP due to shields and generally poor scaling? Being useless in organized PvE due to dedicated healers? The niche of those abilities was always primarily solo play. Now we get a dedicated solo play challenge, but it is setup in a way were they won't even keep up with the passive HoT from Structured Entropy. Brilliant.
And what is all this talk about "building differently"? Most people who have played higher Arcs in IA are already used to handling high incoming DPS without relying on Tap-DPS-Specs. Adapting to Vestige won't be rocket science, we will have pretty much the same options as we do now. These are such poor justifications for brushing over this problem.
Layering HoTs is no bit cooler or more difficult than cycling Tap abilities. Same balanced returns (considering uptime, overheal, target requirements, etc. it is overall in a decent spot on the current live version), same number of GCDs. Both are suboptimal for DPS.
Get off your high horses.
And if the Devs won't find an appropriate solution, they should at least rework those abilities and sets so they can have a purpose somewhere. Because many players like them for the flavor.

Re: Do not open all of your Tome Caches at once!
Or did you mean this pop up that also says nothing about it (I just remembered I have an epic account I haven't logged into in a while, so this is what a fresh login sees)
Re: Grand Crafting Stations
I think the Grandmaster Crafting stations should be collectible furnishings instead of regular furnishings and the attunements should carry across all your houses. It's already pretty crazy how many writ vouchers they cost.
Re: putting it out there now: night market time limit
They have said the leads will drop in other places when the Night Market is inactive, so the Mythic is not time limited.
The monster sets are not only tied to the night market, but also tied to specific factions, so you can only get one per iteration of the Night Market.

yes we have the recreation system now, but it will be awful having to try to farm up 5 leads for a mythic, 9 monster helms, and 9 monster shoulders in a roughly 7 week period (april 29-june 17)? there should absolutely not be any gear or antiquity leads tied into a limited time zone
- anyone who missed out on obtaining those will be SOL until the event zone is reopened for one
- this could create a situation in the future where if something "good" is released from a temporary zone, and someone misses out on it, they could be severely disadvantaged in certain content (such as pvp) because they were not around during the event and would have to wait until the next time it came around
- tying antiquity leads into a temporary event will lead to a situation where people who like to finish codex entries will not be able to work on them at all until the event zone is opened back up
i know the whole thing is not available yet, but this just screams bad design/decision making to me, its quite a bit different than someone missing out on purely cosmetic items such as most of the holiday related achievements and associated collectibles as gear actively influences your character and combat
All I will say is this, the leads for whatever mythic exists within the night market had better drop like candy.

Re: Do not open all of your Tome Caches at once!
Even though it could have been clearer, you could have caught that, if you weren't so focussed on getting everything from a SEASON on day 1, greed is a terrible ally. A little math would have shown you, that you get enough Tome Points, to unlock everything, without ever opening any Cache, a bit of reading would have told you, that you can only take 2k, and obviously unlimited caches. They are not there to get you everything on day one, but to give you a chance to get something you really want.
I didn't even think of opening my caches, because I knew it would be a waste of Tome points.
A bit of reading where?
Patch Notes? No
Official game news or articles? No
Was it mentioned during the developer livestream? No
Was it mentioned in a reasonable place in-game? Like a Tomes preview window where for some reason even Dragonknight and 2Hand reworks are mentioned, but not the crucial mechanics of Tomes? No
