Man the game is too easy now

Noobs no farming

[Satin]

I'm not sure if someone is deliberately trying to make people stop playing Invasion but here's an example of some changes made, some with notice, some just slipped in.

I'm struggling to see if they are done with balance or better gameplay in mind or just.. because


Railgun: ammo reduced from 7 to 5 - New today
HAMR: nerf on infinite ammo no damage bonus at all
HAMR: If you fire it, you get self damage - New today
Awareness: Now you need to be practically on top of the monster to see the health indicator - New today

All things that have been fine for months, and just changed
Changing stuff, just because.. just pisses people off.

Changes to weapon balance are made for PvP without respect to Invasion, and that will continue because Invasion is PvE. Invasion-specific dps normalisation is in place, but other handling will match entirely between the two servers.

[Satin]

Awareness doesn't exist in BW outside of Invasion.

[Azarael]

I spoke only of things I'd changed.

[Satin]

Thats great getting Caly to reply is like getting blood from a stone, he makes arbitrary changes without discussion, reneges on things he said he'd fix, changes stuff that shouldn't be changed. Honestly why do I bother.

[Azarael]

I highly doubt Calypto has done anything, because iirc Awareness doesn't even have any configuration elements. You'd need to be able to code to modify it.

Just about the HMR for Sat':

"Reverted infinity to 0% damage bonus" - about the inf'. You can see this in the changelogs.

About the self-damage, normally it's not recent. Dunno if it was in BW #1 or on INV but when I played with HMR, I had self-damage if I shooted to near of me (but I'm pretty sure I've been hitted by mine rocket from HMR on INV once).

[Satin]

No Jester, Caly said afterwards, that all changes had been reverted except for the LAW - clearly not so as the HAMR is still affected.
