Thread: Is anyone else really disappointed with the nerfs coming in 2.2?

And for groups of new people, with only basic AF and 35-45 jewelry, yes, AK, as it stands can be hard.

Sure, those people could farm Castrum/Praetorium ad nauseam to obtain myth tomes, but I suppose they won't give 300 each for random main scenario, so they'd have to do more of them to stuff themselves. SE is nerfing AK so that these people will have 4 dungeons to run to begin acquiring "HL" stuff instead of 3.

This is actually the first sensible argument I've heard all day.

Also, congratulations for managing to completely miss the point.

Depending on the piece a LOT of primal gear IS BIS. Caster earrings for example. Not going to go through all of them.

no, they wont. its common practice for players to join groups for relic clears or dungeon clears long after they have in fact cleared the content themselves. i join PF groups almost daily just to help out completely random strangers on content like titan HM and ak and i havent needed any thing from there in months.

if people get stuck on content its not cuz the content is too hard its because they lack the drive to complete the content. make friends, practice, gear up. do the things you are supposed to do in an RPG to clear content, stop crying for free loot and hand outs

this hand-holding care bear mentality has got to go

Will you marry me? (just don't tell my husband ;p)

Who gives a flying squirrel's ass about gear?! This is about enjoying a challenge. That's the whole damn point! The reason we have this mess is because of all you people going "wah wah it's too haaard I want my geeeear and I want it nooooow!"

It's all about the numbers and nothing else. I don't raid (never really been big on it in any MMO I've played) but I do like a good challenge myself, even if it leaves me wanting to bang my head off a wall lol That said, I also don't mind them nerfing "old" content as it will allow me to enjoy some of it without as much hassle. I do understand why some people are unhappy with this change, though.

But don't act like they are being trivialized 3 months after they came out, because they aren't.

you're wrong on this. Only Coil will have a timed buff. Primals will have a "live 3 mins then wipe to get" buff stackable up to 5 times (even Ex)
