I’m actually for them fixing the scaling of the game, balancing, making more builds ‘useful’ and giving us the proper stat/skill/attribute information we need to make the RIGHT choices.
I just feel like I don’t have much control over my character build beyond trying stuff and hoping it isn’t too bad by the end.
I grew up when NES was on TV commercials being sold with Mario 1 and duck hunt and have been a gamer ever since, I know all about hardcore, unforgiving and all that. I even played the original Everquest for 3 years.
It’s just that somewhere along the ways I just got tired of “time wasting” game design. I just sorta want to have fun and not have to redo things constantly. I don’t mind rerolling a new char to try something new but if my old chars are being made obsolete / garbage because the company balances things like retards or I thought my build was okay going off of the limited information.
For example: I put all my points in INT and CON and very little SPR and turns out the skill I put 5-10 points into uses SPR and not INT. Now that skill is officially terrible. I couldn’t have known because the game isn’t telling me this information.
I also don’t know how strong my skill is going to be at 5-10. In fact the scaling of the whole game is really retarded and off. I made a huge post talking about this awhile back I think everyone has seen it already. The forums are lagging like hell and I can’t go find it cuz of this reason.
I want to be able to feel like I have more control over my character and build rather than just “trying things out and rerolling”. I just… grew out of the hardcore mentality where I use copious amounts of time redoing things over and over again. Because, in my mind, if I have to delete a character that means that I have officially wasted however many hours of my time I put into that character and that thought is super depressing for me.
