<DDOChatter_55>: and why is "balance" just composed entirely of pure nerfs?
14:41      <Flavilandile>: you didn't plan ahead and went in a way where some changes ( that were bound to happen sooner or later ) ruined your characters.
14:41      <DDOChatter_55>: balance would impy some ups and downs, right?
14:41      <Shindoku>: That's the thing though, people weren't getting creative. They were doing the same builds over and over, so it was the only thing you saw in lfms
14:41      <Vargouille>: Balance is ongoing. There's been a lot of "up" in the past months and years.
14:41      <DDOChatter_55>: some things would get improved, some nerfed; but that never happens...it's all nerfs, all the time
14:42      <Vargouille>: We will freely admit there is more concentrated "down" in this pack of changes, intentionally.
14:42      <HatsuZ>: I remember the days before Armor Up... EVERYONE had a yellow bar and 2 monk levels... creative? Heck no.
14:42      <DDOChatter_55>: a few extra fighter feats is "ups"?
14:42      <HatsuZ>: It's ups for fighters
14:42      <Vargouille>: Reminder that I was talking about the past years.
14:42      <Vargouille>: Not this patch.
14:42      <Shindoku>: Most of the ups came from the prevois enhancement changes
14:42      <DDOChatter_55>: how is that an "up" when you nerf melee dps along with it?
14:42      <DDOChatter_55>: thats a gargantuan net loss.
14:42      Flavilandile *shrug* seems it's that idiot again, he's been rampaging The Vault with his whining for the last week.
14:43      <DDOChatter_55>: oh so, years ago, ther weere ups; so long in fact you can't even remember when.  here on out, it's all downs
14:43      <Vargouille>: We would prefer to nerf less frequently which does mean when we do nerf we prefer to do quite a bit at once.
14:43      <DDOChatter_55>: i'd prefer leaving the game alone!
14:43      <DDOChatter_55>: just...stop
14:43      <Vargouille>: I'm sorry if you don't remember any of the ups. I'm not here to debate a list of them, as that's not really useful.
14:43      <Flavilandile>: just ignore him Varg... he is an attention seeker
14:43      <DDOChatter_55>: consistency, predicrtability, security leads to long term planning
14:44      <DDOChatter_55>: right now i can't even build anything i can be 100% sure won't be nerfed
14:44      <Shindoku>: Is the new holiday event coming with the patch tomorrow?
14:44      <Vargouille>: I can neither confirm nor deny when any events are starting (as I'd be stepping on coworker's toes.)
14:45      <DDOChatter_55>: how about the player's toes?
14:45      <Vargouille>: (Unless they were announced already somewhere that I missed recently. Then I can point at those.)
14:45      <DDOChatter_55>: how do you feel about them?
14:45      <Shindoku>: Lol, I don
14:45      <DDOChatter_55>: no srsly

<Vargouille>: I'm not sure what kind of response DDOChatter_55 is expecting. Of course we haven't tried to "destroy" anything. I've stated that your analysis seems to not be the same as ours. I'm reading what's written here. There's no reasonable response I can give except "Doesn't seem to be what we're seeing".
15:04      <Spook>: i think its fair to say that AAs are behind tempests right now but i assume thats intended?
15:05      <DDOChatter_55>: the response would be something like: gee REALLY?  it's completely broken and usless?  we'll fix it by (insert date/time coordinates here)
15:05      <Shindoku>: Reaper of Souls fixes a lot of problems and the gameplay is much better. It's still diablo though, if you aren't into repetition don't get it
15:05      <Vargouille>: I'm not certain I understand all the feedback (Archer's Focus is just a prereq for IPS? Huh?) but given how hard this communication is already, hard to want to spend much of my workday trying to figure out what is really meant.
15:05      <DDOChatter_55>: the feat is broken
15:05      <DDOChatter_55>: capisce?
15:05      <Vargouille>: See, here's the thing: I'm not going to assume you are just right, and saying "it's broken" it almost completely worthless feedback.
15:05      <DDOChatter_55>: even the intended changes are not working
15:05      <Vargouille>: So no, no "capisce".
15:05      <Shindoku>: You never clearly explained this before 55
15:06      <DDOChatter_55>: the stacks clear when you move, tumble, or cast a spell
15:06      <DDOChatter_55>: several others have
15:06      <goblean>: there ya go
15:06      <wink>: do we have retards here again?
15:06      <HatsuZ>: It seems to me that the only thing that has been hit really hard is burst DPS for furyshot builds.
15:06      <DDOChatter_55>: all DPS

If losing 1 crit range considering all of the other buffs were keeping to be a massive nerf you are retarded and probably should just kill yourself.

Ya. I was looking for a gem of a dev comment and found out that you just have no fucking clue on how to formulate a question or point.

15:54      <PatSajak>: The category is" People Who Annoy You"
15:55      <Leroy_Jenky__172>: lol goblean too slow to be believable.
15:55      <PatSajak>: N_GGERS
15:55      <PatSajak>: you have 10 seconds to solve the puzzel
15:55      <Leroy_Jenky__172>: Naggers?
15:55      <PatSajak>: 5 seconds
15:55      *** PatSajak was kicked by Vargouille (Vargouille)
15:55      !!! You have been kicked from #DDO

Varg just HAD to interrupt a good game of Wheel of Fortune.

i'm done with DDO: i'm not going to keep playing cat-n'mouse with these assholes if they're just going to nerf and re-nerf every last decent aspect of the game.

good riddance, chone when going through the door.

Good. Dont let the door hit your backside when you leave.

can you even think of a time when any one catergory of builds got zapped so hard?

Oh, c'mon: I'm working the dev team over so hard they say ridiculous things, posting them here for all to share a good laugh, and oyu want me gone?  Srslyfgt?

What melee build is losing 50% DPS on nerfs?  What ranged build?

One of the reasons no one takes you seriously (besides all the venom and hatred in every direction) is that you can't even present your point of view coherently.  It's all cussing and hyperbole and ranting.  It's not persuasive.  Hopefully you are getting some stress out of your system with all these rage posts, but you are never going to convince anyone here that your thoughts are worth hearing, let alone devs, unless you can actually communicate a thought besides "Go drink bleach." or saying something completely exaggerated like "every melee and ranged build is 50% lower in DPS".
