    I realize I'm also targeting small groups harder. I used to let a lot of people go if they were on the flank, but now that everyone wants to be a Sypher wannabe I'll hunt down individual targets a lot more ruthlessly.

    When I play in a small group what makes it easy is you're not a big target. You have an easier time getting in position to get your burst in. Not quite anymore, but at least I play a NB!

    We've been forced to do the same thing. Already been bombed to many times by Nightblades suicide bombers. We try to Elimate as many as we can before we run into a actual group.

    Small groups are more Deadly now. But so is everyone else. The patch hasn't really made small or large scale more viable. Just makes everyone die quicker. I often feel the need to bring more people than I did pre patch to defend or take keeps. It's only through numbers that I can sustain these bombers atm. I like running 16-20 man but if we got bombed with lower numbers its over in any keep battles

    So I think group size will remain the same as it always has. The difference we all get the ability to be busted down instantly now.

    So your solution to getting killed by less numbers is to bring more people?

    So easy solution but lots of people go QQ for the fear of trollers or the so called lagg inc due to game needing to calculate lot more which is quite wrong since no more blobs spamming as much as before as they dont wanna kill their own folks.

    Trollers> so easy to implement solutions to sort it out.

    Does anyone else hate those tank builds who tank front of doors while their friendlies pour oil in? sounds not so cool, or 1 deto / vicious death spammer front of breach when enemies inc and oil coming in? very cool!

    I would love to see zeni add into pst for short perioud of time Everyone gets dmg no matter what is the source of the dmg and see how it affects the lagg.

    ++

    AND before someone thinks that this protects the n00bs who have no clue how to make effective magica nightblade to spam aoes or dk who spam aoe or whatever class you use to spam aoe yes it does, but it also affects them, not just ballerina groups or the small scalers or the HUGE aoe blobbers.

    +++

    I am very confident the ballerinas/small scalers and huge not anymore so aoe blobbers would eventually find nice and not so laggy tactic to still enjoy themself.

    Just briefly chiming in, I don't see how VD is better for zergs over small scalers. It procs on the killing blow, and you can only have one per person. It doesn't matter if 20 people attacking one opponent wear it or only one. It will (well, should) only proc once anyways.

    That said, it is time to either quadruple health pools or cut damage/healing in half again. Two second fights, while realistic, aren't fun.

    Without softcaps/diminishing returns, no dynamic ult regen but AoE caps? No thanks, the first one was bad enough already.

    Each to his own. Health bars move way to quick in this game, both directions.

    VD is obviously more broken than the devs admit.

    I know they said there is a display error where it's showing up in death recap... but why does it show up in combat log as well?

    I saw it go off with the EP zerg, yes that EP zerg that had it's "spies" in /zone bitching about an AD zerg when they had twice the numbers and the all-stars of sploitdom hard at work. I saw it go off with the lesser DC loose zerg. 90% of the time I wasn't near anyone...

    I saw it go off in IC and no one was around.

    Is it a display error for the chat log/combat log/death recap or just broken?

    Not sure if it is because of siege changes and Vicious Death.

    Or because some Zergleaders quit the game and people do not have any Crownleaders anymore to stack and run

    This, at least on EU. A lot of competetive and organized guilds lost a lot of their members and leaders to BDO.
