Dark Knight: 5.0x Feedback Thread

[Sancho_Nyanta]

I'm probably the only one who was getting physically sick from playing Dark Knight, like even practicing on a striking dummy with Dark knight was making me physically sick. Doesn't help the fact that Dark Knight feels slow as hell and not fun to play in general, which was probably making feel even more physically sick. I did use the "leave a suggestion" function in the in-game support desk to let them know about but I'm not holding my breathe on them addressing the issue...

You need to stop playing and go see a doctor!

I also wouldn't recommend holding your breath. If you getting sick then it is best to take deep calming breaths.

A doctor isn't needed to be able to diagnose that the their symptoms are a result of their hyperbole levels being dangerously high.

I did something better by playing GNB and I actually felt a lot better after that. Also how stupid are you when you can't even know the difference between euphemism and literal(I'm talking about the holding of the breathe in this instance)... but seriously I was literally getting physically sick of playing Dark Knight...

euphemism

I don't think this word means what you think it does.

You should probably not call someone stupid while using the wrong word in the reasoning for why you are calling them such.

A euphemism is when someone replaces something that is seen as negative or offensive with something less so, for example saying someone "passed on" instead of saying that they died is a common euphemism or "dropping the kids off at the pool" instead of using the toilet.

The phrase "hold your breathe" is an idiom. Euphemisms are idioms, but not all idioms are euphemisms. Euphemisms are a specific type and adhere to the criteria given above. "Hold your breathe" doesn't match the criteria, hence just an idiom and not a euphemism.

That and the likeliness that they took you literally and responded literally are probably quite low.

Good to know. Also I learned a new word... Let that sink in for a moment...

Let me get this straight. You call me stupid but you are the one who missed the painfully obvious joke about your hyperbolic comments and you even go so far as to use the wrong word to describe what you are saying?

I'm legitimately not even sure how to respond. I've never had someone take such an obvious joke so literally before... (@__@)

And there's the common problem that everyone runs into... text does not translate emotion very well... at least not going into full role-play mode which is probably cringy to the point that no one wants to do it... so we have to make do with explanations through text which also don't translate emotions very well so we end up having to go full role-play mode which is probably like writing a book...

This will be my last comment on this as we are quite off topic, but if we assume that you are telling the truth and "text does not translate emotion very well". You took my comment at face value and called someone showing concern for your wellbeing stupid for doing so and that's pretty sad.

Going back on topic though, one suggestion that I might have is if they made the Darkside buff only happen from a dark arts FoS/EoS. This would delay our burst but it would make popping TBN more impactful as well as make it so that we actually have to work to keep up Darkside. They would probably need to do other tweaks b/c balancing it would be tricky but that might be something to look at.

That could potentially make Darkside impossible to keep up in some content or some situations. In a lot of content outside of savages at relevant iLvls, only busters really do enough damage to break TBN and even then sometimes only just barely. For example right now when I run Roulettes for tomes, boss busters and even some wall to wall pulls barely do enough damage to break TBN and sometimes just barely miss it by 1-2s. Add to that, that busters often aren't happening at a frequency of 30s or faster and you would be virtually guaranteeing that DRK would not be able to keep Darkside up in a lot of content and therefore drastically hurting the job's DPS potential in a lot of the game.
Not to mention that you would be pretty SoL if you DF queued into a raid and the other tank happens to be a DRK too since you can't stack TBNs.
It's just too problematic for debatably any gain whatsoever and wrests control of keeping Darkside up from the player and makes it contingent on the content.
