4a. When are knights going to get some sort of reworking? Ch. I was the last actual fix to knights that I remember and it shows. With the fixes done to Wardens and Champion being introduced we have 2 classes with the potential to out tank the tanks. Not to mention W/K, N/W and several other classes with plate ability. Everyone in game is talking about level 75 gear and when the level cap is going to be changed and knights are still not up to par, skill or ability wise.

in response to number one ice blade has global cooldown ,roll one and see.it is also expensive to gear,same as mage and mages out kill same geared p/s almost everytime.

Quoted from "hefusuto;568549"

they reworking Knight with Might Shield patch and pretty much make our life a nightmare and they keep doing with new patch all the time soo the next reworking maybe gonna be a new nightmare.

1. P/S. Really? Took forever to get rid of the scout burns from Ch.III/ beginning Ch.IV and there is a class thats worse in siege then a scout was.
Though to be fair, scouts were changed due to having parties consisting of only scout dps burning down the endgame instances, they were not nerfed due to pvp. There are literally 0 p/s parties clearing endgame stuff by themselves, leaving every other class on the outside looking in (as ch3 was).
Ice Blade is a ridiculously over powered skill. It has been but I think Im seeing more of it now since Ive been back. Spammable with no GCD
It most certainly has a GCD
and high damage that seems to ignore most defense.
Technically, it completely ignores defense 100%. Now Mdef on the other hand it does not ignore, and makes a pretty substantial difference in damage (assuming the player has any...not my fault rw didnt give people an incentive to stat it for pve).
Yeah, thats fair. And a lot of P/S's that Ive seen have been using targeting macros so not only is it a one-button class, they dont even push that button.
How exactly does creating a macro make it so you don't have to push any buttons anymore? that sounds like a bot...Even DiYCE users that also make their class one button still have to push it to attack.
It is kinda funny that some of the P/Ss Ive seen running around are FOTM players who couldnt wait for another glitched class.

2. Siege itself. Congratz on getting siege relatively stable. Its to the point where I may crash once a month in siege, and thats usually because theres a ton of flame towers and/ or player buffs going off all at the same time. Nice that the tower guards got upgraded so that a level 50 cant one shot them anymore.
As far as the guard lv goes, it makes 0 difference to anyone with a lved character, they are just as 1-2 shottable as before and a rogue can still walk right by them and cap the tower in hide w/o getting aggro.
Actually, outside of P/Ss in siege I enjoy it quite a bit now. And it seems that a lot of the real (insert random expletive here)s have left the game so I dont run into the name calling and other unpleasantness anymore.
..i actually still see quite a bit of this, although i guess less than before. See the recent threads regarding people calling hax and exploits.
I still see a few things that need to be fixed, like the BETA tag so that RW will take it seriously and fix the rest of the issues instead of shoving out broken content. Getting rewards as an example. I always get less rewards then the merit farmers. Something not right there, but at least Im getting rewards when a lot of people still dont. And when we do crash we still lose everything weve worked for during that period of time before the crash. Nice that the herald issue is "fixed" but it would be even nicer to be able to keep that 500 merits we had just farmed and on the way to the castle to buy stuff with.

3. R/K. Still my favorite class to play, still the one I never use. Which part of nerfing disarm wasnt understood a year ago when it made R/K no longer a fully viable dps class with parties? With recons in both daggers the second I run out of energy and have to start spamming Holy Strike Im the tank. Sure, I can solo, and do, most anything I want, but I like playing in parties too. And I always have to go R/S unless I want to tank. As more and more times goes on I consider the opinion expressed a long time ago, that the developers play R/Ss and didnt want anything to compete with them, except now they play P/Ss.
Also dont forget that throw/combo throw got a MAJOR buff recently. Now pretty much every rogue can be sorta like a r/s and do respectible damage at range, also another filler skill to use when out of energy.

4. Dwarves. Overall a nice addition to the game. I played a Wa/M for awhile and thoroughly enjoyed it. The warlocks seem to have very great potential. Champions seem to have a lot of potential also. I just missed playing my Rogues. Which leads me to:

It's ok the mighty shield patch completly fixed the Knight class

5. Diamonds and item sales. Its very nice to see Cedric implemented and working correctly. Its also nice to see the diamond cost lowered on a lot of items to the point where their reasonable. However, removing ABLs from the item shop regularly hurt the economy more then introducing Cedric will help fix. Now we have to wait to buy things or give things to guildies until theres a sale and hope that the players farming gear stock up on enough ABLs to get through to the next sale. You probably find a higher revenue if people were able to buy ABLs constantly since their constantly needed for players to progress and gear. Im sitting on a few items right now until theres another ABL sale since I farmed them and cant unbind them.
Agree with u all the way here

6. Banning botters and reporting. For weeks on end I have seen people botting guard dogs and other sellable items. I have talked to multiple others who have reported such and yet they are still there. I have had the displeasure of running into extremely rude players (a few) who I would love to see some manners taught to. Yet I dont really see an option to report them for what they are doing. Would love to see a GM thread where things like that can be discussed.
Luckily u can avoid going to the dog meat daily to lv now. The new zone has dailies that you can turn in all 10 over the span of 1-2mins..total.

Overall I would say Im pleased that there has been progress made. I enjoy the new (to me) instances like ToSH and AC. I enjoy being in sieges where there is a challenge. And I enjoy seeing some of the friends I had before I left and making new ones. I think RoM is on the edge of being a great game, just needs more attention paid to what the players go through to do what they need to do and enjoy doing.

^fotm. You still play? O.o

Quoted from "mnkmurphy885;568640"

It's been proven, over and over, that Ice Blade DOES conform to the GCD.

What you saw was client lag.

You might get hit by more than 2 per second, if your client is behind the p/s's client, but the p/s CANNOT cast more than 1 IB every .5 seconds.

And yeah, like Quaffy said, it does ignore defense completely. PHYSICAL defense, that is. Oddly, it doesn't ignore mdef at all. o.O

If you're having troubles with p/s's, stack more mdef on one or two pieces just for PvP, and use mdef food. You'll be amazed. No, really. Try it and see. Kanu went from getting hit by me for 100k+ to 30-40k hits, just by adding mdef.

Quoted from "xMagus;568642"

As a P/S alt i took off my staff was able to get 4 ice blades off in 1 GCD that is not server lag that is called exploiting the global. And a P/S isnt the only one who can do it as a W/R i was able to get Blood Dance and Shadow Stab off at the same time in the same global. Its basicallly similar to the scout shot spam of chapter 3.

Well yes, but only for around 1 hr each day...although, if arena matches actually started, I'd likely be on a lot more.

And don't worry gigi, i'll convert u to the way of the iceblade soon enough

v` P/S before the bandwagon was built =)

Quoted from "KatalanOrk;568644"

Yeah, that is right. Occasionally the GCD bugs and you get skill-skill-GCD-GCD which is the same for all instants with GCD.

That makes Iceblade, the same as any instant, exactly the same as Shot that had no GCD and when you got the attack speed to 0.5 it rounded to zero.

Not a single difference.

Can I make wild stab in the dark and guess that you might be an R/S? Hey look at your sig. What are the odds?

Quoted from "xMagus;568783"

I am R/S for ToSH but i prefer to play S/R or S/W

P/S does the same exploit of instant cast skills that every other class can be capable of its just more well known with the P/S because of siege.

And to clear up a few things Exploit to me means intentionally bugging an aspect was not intended by design.

Quoted from "Quaffy2;568794"

Exploit??? The skill works fine, your client just isnt updating u on what is happening in real time. P/S isnt bugging anything unless u call pressing the attack button quickly an exploit, but that would just be silly
