Battle Reform: Enmity (07/06/2011)

[Perrin_Aybarra]

The thread meter is pointless. Green, orange, or red icon ~ seriously, a traffic light. Not only is this a joke, it also is as useful as a shot in the head.

So basically you have, no hate, some hate, "OH shit! I am gonna die". How is that helping in any shape or form? It's as useful as a crash indicator in a car that goes off once you hit the wall. "It's RED! oh right , the mob is hitting me, thanks for pointing that out

I for one loose more and more interest in coming back after this update. I was looking forward to the battle and class changes. I was really hopeful it would turn the game around and make the game play more enjoyable.

Now i think i am better off just putting this game down for good. It just turns more and more into a game for a crowd i don't want to play with.

That's not true, it's extremely useful. It's not red omg the mob is hitting me! It's red then if you keep going it will be blinking red which is when the mob is on you.

So if you get to red that's when you say to yourself "ok I should slack off a bit and let the tank build some more enmity".

When it's orange you tell yourself "I can keep going but I should not do anything that generates too much enmity".

When it's green well, you let hell loose and throw your best stuff at the mob.

That's where learning how to play comes in. Green is fine, but orange and red you need to make sure that you know what your abilities/spells does enmity-wise so that you don't go from orange to blinking red in a spell.

People who think this is an "easy button" just don't understand what a enmity icon do. The game won't become easy and people won't suddenly know how to play their class if they don't take the time t learn it. Especially with such a non specific meter as a 3 colors (4 if you count blinking) meter.
