Title. I'd like to see what people in here think about the combat team's understanding of combat mechanics.

✭✭✭✭✭The only thing I can say with certainty after nearly four years is, I have no *** clue what they do or don’t understand.5 -
NoIf they understood the combat mechanics they would not change the mend wounds skill in the next patch which is working perfectly fine right now.0

crazywolfpusher✭✭✭YesI think they do, but they now are following some kind of path. Standardization of all skills was a great step, but is not enough.
Still believe pvp and pve should be balanced separately.1 -
IlCanis_LupuslI✭✭✭✭✭YesAre you really so arrogant to believe that you understand the game better then the guys who created it? They understand it better then anyone they have all the data you don't!

✭YesI think they understand. I don't think they care - otherwise, animation cancelling would not be a thing.Lethal zergling0 -
PureEnvelope35✭✭✭✭NoPTS 5.0.0-5.0.2: Yeah sure I think they're getting really good at understanding what's broken and are doing a nice job at fixing already existing balance issues without creating more.
PTS 5.0.3: OwO... Oopsie poopsie me made a mistake and deweted magicka. UwUFashion is the true endgame.PC EU2 -
spacebandit✭✭✭NoThey should standardize all the colors of the game too and bring them closer together so everything is a slightly different shade of bland gray.
Jokes aside I’m sure there is someone behind the scenes who influences decisions that is just way overthinking things. Instead of making small adjustments we’re seeing 25% here 35% there. When a small change could potentially make a huge difference we are seeing substantial changes to some stuff.
I understand the post. 200 ms change is going to affect stuff but cmon.

Yeah well I still think they don't understand it. For example I've being saying for months they have no clue on what to do with nbs, specially magblades, so I left my main for it. Now everyone sees that they just roll a roulet and add effects to the skills:
Oh and this one gets a small, deniable and expensive heal that needs 5 light attacks
they arent happy with that? then it also gets a ... damage mitigation!
Oh this one mmn a silence instead of the stun!
I'm happy I change my main. They can't understand that nb is not as good as other classes in tanking or healing, only in dps, so don't try to do a warden type by chunking all the skills.0 -

Cant tell if Sarcasm.
No idea if he is really behind the recent incap changes (the forums seem to think he is), but if so, it shows a very clear bias towards a class most of us know he favors. We all know he can play and we all know he understands how the game works from a mechanics standpoint.
Now maybe he had nothing to do with it, I of course have no idea. But if he did, it shows that knowledge of mechanics, and the ability to balance a healthy game, have little to do with one another.
My take is that of course they understand how mechanics work, they designed them afterall. I think where they suffer is that I am not sure many of them actually play the game all that much, at least not at a high level, so they seem to miss obvious things when they attempt balance changes. I mean, if you didnt realize that giving a low cost ult a 3 second silence instead of a stun didnt amount to a huge buff that would result in 20+page "WTF are you doing" forum response, you are pretty darn clueless.Edited by Oreyn_Bearclaw on May 8, 2019 7:46PM2 -

✭✭NoWhile I believe they think they know what they are doing, from a player perspective, I can't say I've experienced a single change that felt like an improvement. Until they understand that PVP changes should be separate from PVE, I'm not convinced that any of them have a clue. But what do I know? I'm just a paying customer.1 -

Most of the original team of developers left years ago, actually. Despite that, the team does know what they are doing. Most people are biased and refuse to try to understand some changes.
The latest incap change has tipped too far though. That said, it's really only the case if one is alone, and would be rather effective taking out a priority target in a group.0 -
