the way ZOS buffs , nerfs makes changes is so clumsy
I mean you have the benefit of a PTS to make adjustments- to test things out in a live environment- USE IT- USE US!
instead what we have is drastic reactions and overreactions every 3 months- its a turn right, turn left type of tuning - rather than incremental and experimental adjustemnts- which is what is most effective. I'm just really disappointed that the changes they've made- but moreso the way they approach changes- with large scale double digit percentage nerfs and buffs- why not tune things slowly and incrementally and see how the market reacts!?! we have maintenance every freaking week- can we not do that on the pts? can we not assign a few hundred players to give feedback on a regular basis? ill happily put time into this?!
but these changes and this approach are just clumsy .. just as we were way off the mark- with he last patch- this patch will again land way off centre- why? because its a moving , dynamic target that changes quickly- as people work out workarounds and exploits and so on. noone thought the destro multi would be that OP, etc. but the reaction has been so slow. and again - with this we can expect unforeseen and some foreseeable missteps.
i emplore you guys at Zos to take a more live and reactive approach to updates and fixes.
