[dev1049] New weapon skills

[Urteil]

Scythe Weapon Skill “Entropy”
We will be making adjustments so that the amount of MP recovered will be within a range.
There will be cases where the MP recovered will be higher or possibly lower than now, but we are planning to adjust this so that the average will not change by much.

Camate, I love you. I do. Please turn your eyes aside, you do no wrong.




The amount of mp recovered is already in a "range," because it actually gives MP back?

Your making the WS unreliable why? Its already serving little function as DRK hardly uses enough MP for the recovery aspect of the WS to matter.

If you aren't going to change it by much, why even bother? Just to make it more random. . .?
As far a Entropy is concerned you're wasting dev time to change nothing. . .? What?


*
If the DEV-team played DRK they'd be the worst DRK's on the planet, they'd come out /rdm and wear HQ staves and nuke things, and refuse to gear swap. They would not have scythe capped because the WS for it suck anyway, and why bother when you can Blizzard 3 things.

The DEV-team would sword and shield on DRK because all of the shields have DRK on them, and they'd melee in Hecatomb gear.



Let me do my best to explain to you exactly how Dark Knights are feeling, I'll say it and I've finally snapped, I'm not going to pad it, or make it nice because everyone is thinking it.

Based on your repeatedly terrible and stupid decisions as far as development goes for this job:


NOBODY CARES ABOUT MP RECOVERY ON A DARK KNIGHT WS, WE HAVE NOTHING TO USE MP ON.

???????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THERE IS HARDLY A REASON FOR DARK KNIGHTS TO USE MP IN PVE AS IT STANDS NOW.

DO YOU THINK WE ARE CASTING BLIZZARD 3/THUNDER 3 WITH THE HORRIBLE RECAST/DAMAGE/CASTING TIME?

GIVE US GOOD MAGICAL SPELLS, IF YOU ARE GOING TO PULL THIS KIND OF NONSENSE.









TLDR;

WTF IS THIS SH#$?!

I really don't get the Entropy adjustment. I guess that makes the ability somewhat consistent with its name, but I'm a bit baffled as to why they would bother putting forth the effort to make a convoluted adjustment to it that would end up just making it do the same damn thing over time, and even bothering to make an announcement about it.

This is all SE is good at, and probably the motto behind development.

SE...boost quietus

We have no reason to believe the JPN player base is any happier about this Entropy update, or DRK in general. SE doesn't listen to anyone most of the time which is ironic considering they created this forum specifically for feedback.

actualy they do listen to the JP alot more then they do us: Please See the Voting poll for new beast pets. americans voted like 80+ votes for a scorpion, and like 5 JP's voted for the hippo. we got the hippo.

Are people still going on about that? SE counted the votes correctly and the hippo won. Get over it.

Yup, yup...

Lets separate French, German and Japanese but clump every English speaker into the NA vote count..... real fair!

On a different subject the MP recovery would have suited the Sword WS over the Scythe one, that should have been pure damage.

That's assuming that they even counted them that way, and didn't just flat out ignore us. Best case scenario: all English speakers are the same lol.

[Tohihroyu]

Well the only way they will make Entropy stronger besides "lol Spirit Taker for Scythes" is if the Japanese player base says they want Entropy to hit harder. Just like everything else. Big example? the new bst jugs :|

It's worth noting that SE never even claimed to have done this. It was just one of the (many) laughable excuses the apologists tried to make.

The only way this WS is going to mean anything is if DRK gets a major overhaul to its casting ability. Otherwise, it's just a continuation of how SE has always treated DRK.
