Stop with the Stat Squish!

[HammAndCheese]

Before the stat squish we did get, it was possible for tanks to get number overflow errors in aggro tables in some longer fights. Aggro numbers would get so high they would roll over back to zero, and provoking wouldn't even work as both tanks and the party would just keep pushing right back into that sour spot unless or until every player in the party suffered that bug and reset everyone back into lower numbers.

I have heard of no such issue with DT. It's crazy since we really don't feel it as players, but DT apparently had a ton of dev time dedicated specifically to under the hood, unstringing some of that spaghetti code. Even now, the devs are doing server side upgrades to facilitate the housing interior update and Yoshi-P's mentioned the same work is going to allow them to look into character creator improvements.

I do feel like a lot of the development of DT has been focused on stuff we can't see, like that's where their big focus is, because the spaghetti holding everything up is tangled beyond belief, which prevents them from fixing/adding half of what people have been asking for for years.

Something will have to happen eventually regardless. To my mind the pressing issue is that PF and other systems aren't designed for ilevels above 999, which we are actually approaching pretty quick, and it stands to reason that it will be a problem somewhere in 8.x

It won't be a problem at least until 9.0, 8.0 started at 660, baseline 100 was 690, and we are capping off at 790, so we can expect 8.0 will be 790 to 820, then cap off at 920 at 8.55, this game is predictable enough to say this with certainty.

Not even the recent 775 relic. Still using the 760... Definitely not 'top gear,' nothing augmented, still has 770 heavyweight normal gear in some slots to boot...

No need to waste time looking this guy up. We already know he's a clown.

it would be best to actually remove all stats and make it ilevel based only, no need to min/max substats... no special extra ilevel from savage/ultimate either, put all people into the same pool and lets play the game like that

As it is it is impossible to min max everything with current settings and it foster a lower pool of players being able to enjoy the higher end content as well...

Also there is too much skipping certain mechanics from everything to extreme trials, Deep Dungeons, Savage and Ultimate and so on and so forth, I would say and claim that the ultimate experience and satisfaction is very much more in being able to get rid of this or that boss or dungeon, by actually having to go through all the mechanics, that could be made by doing DPS locks, as it is with some mechanics already, so you eg. can't to 0% or below 70% before this mechanic has played, which would take the skill lining up and gearing into an entire different world, if want to make your job of choice beating whatever thing actually optimal.

idk man my ouroborous hitting for casually 300k twice during my burst with all raid buffs in m9s sometimes is abit silly

Was hitting 308k technical finishes in M12S last night.

I'm not BiS either.

that sounds so shit, making gearing even worse than it already is
