forever wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2017 1:00 am I don't understand the need of initiating such updates. To be honest, not to offend anyone, this the worst thing to happen to any server.
The main things that got modified or changed in the name of ''Gameplay Updates'' were:
1. Cooldowns on most magic skills of all classes.
2. Potting limits on HP and MP.

COOL DOWNS ON MOST MAGIC SKILLS:
Seriously? Heal, HP Abs, Sedematre, Pantoti, Mirage and many more skills got cool downs on them....ranging from 3-10 sec (Considering skills are of level 3 and maxed out) which were earlier not present. These are the basic skills that a character uses in order to level himself and do PvP or wars anything. These skills also decide which class has what advantage.
Example: Heal, HKs have advantage of using this skill to fill their HP pots by sacrificing some amount of MP. Another, Sedematre, this skill allowed Mages to travel or teleport with insane speeds.

Now what you have done is, you took the best part or to say ''THE MOST IMPORTANT ABILITY'' of any class. HKs are no longer able to heal themselves at least twice in a row. They have to wait for 3 sec. Why? Coz of Cool down. The skills that were once the unique ability of any class have now become useless and a sort of disadvantage to every class.

I won't tell how these cool downs affect every character, but its nearly impossible for newbies in-game to level and develop their Gameplay, so that they can fight and withstand any other class on the basis of their gameplay. Their will be no NR matches from now on. No Proper HKvHK PVP. To be honest, you screwed up every class.

In one post GM Blade mentioned HK has to use a combination of Shields and Weapons, really? I agree there are different types of shield and Weapons including BOR and KW that a HK has access to but do you think its possible to put on shields continuously if any character FWs you? Like using Ice Shield then Fire, then Lightning, and if not BOR with good speeds? It would require an entire skill tray of all types of Shield, and Weapons, and during PVP one will have to change constantly, even if he did, it would be too late to get that accuracy that one had when these Cool Downs were not present.

POTTING LIMITS:
You know the best thing that everyone enjoyed ? It was the Arena 2 in Sidhe and Grnita Park in Normal Maps. For anyone who has ever been to Arena 2 will always remember the sort of fun and the pain in fingers after potting insanely for about an hour or two =p
And now there is no need of doing that, WOW, why? Coz of potting limits. Even if I want to tank 2 Characters ND by pressing F1+ 1 constantly, I CANT. Low ping has no use now. Many of my friends at ping lower than 30ms used to rock in Arena 2. Now even they cant do a shit! This is the thing that pissed me off. People with lower ping and good gameplay used to ''rule'' any war. But now they cant just because of your foolish decision on putting potting limits to HP and MP.
I have friends who have HP bars lower than 7k in normal maps. With low latency + good equips and gameplay, they used to nail everyone down. They used to pot like hell to keep themselves alive in maps. I am fortunate enough to have an Archer at RB12 165 and I have tried keeping 6.9k HP bar. There is always a need to pot fast to not get pked by someone. Its impossible to survive now!!
Also, folks with RB0 165 level characters will have a hard time, because Stoneskin has Cool Down, plus potting limits will not allow them to be alive.

And in this server we have level 15 weapons if you know. How can 1 Class tank if he goes ND in any map and is attacked by a party?

To GM Blade~
If you ever have time, I request you to come in Normal Mode and Try doing wars on the conditions of Gameplay that you have set now. Please try it for yourself. You have always claimed Mania to be a balanced server, rethink before you take any decisions. E-shop is something I consider secondary, but, just to tell you, people invested because they believed in your ability to keep things original and maintain a balance in the server. Most folks complain about events and everything else, even I do too, why? Because we hope a lot from Mania. And your "Gameplay Update", just screwed up everyone. Don't care about the regular bunch of assholes that abuse, but you also disappointed the dedicated actual players of Mania.
