Those are all good points but the main one you didn’t address was the fact that most of the individuals who want this kind of change want to do so to maintain some semblance of power that they had without compromising and using a “crappy, bad, shitty” component or augment or devo path that might not let their build be optimized.
Anyone know how many builds posted for CR have “must have 135% run.”?
In addition, how many posts of builds are for speed running MC? Come on now, most times those build guides just get their cereal pooped in. They get criticized, ignored, etc.
Now don’t just cut and paste one or 2 trying to straw man me out. Full counts of all builds comparatively across all patches post CR and SR and we will see what the numbers are.
Also, the 1.7 patch is not being used in the context that a lot of pieces will be filled by MIs that are now not as accessible (or already were I guess due to gdstash, but meh)
Striping away all the bullshat only shows that @powbam is right. Use other components and augments. Then instead, ask for other things like more building options, more side grades, functionality, or anything else that can be done before everything is finished. For non purists, mod it.
I posted my comments for one reason, not that I cared so much as to whether it should or shouldn’t be done. I posted because Crate can use that time to do so much more for this game by making other things when there are already a ridiculous amount of movement options in game. Period.
My 2cent for whatever it is worth towards the OP. While having more movespeed is nice, I’ve never found it to be a stat that I really notice. (Unless it was on my sorc with like 3% total speed) Anything over 110% is fine as long as slow resist is near cap.
I’ve seen candle come up a few times as being weak… I agree that after the removal of flat the only real attraction is three points for 4 affinity to me, but that is still a pretty strong point imo.
Ultimately there are a lot of options to gain movespeed at a trade off for certain builds. Tbh I would put movespeed on something that is used less frequently like affliction, typhos, a wing of raven, or changing casting speed on wendigo/magi to total speed.
I have no issues with current availability of movement speed. I also don’t appreciate being spoken for
w/ stats pulled out of thin air like “90% of players agree maxed movement speed is mandatory.”
Wasn’t there some stat from the devs about how the majority of players never even enter Elite or higher?
I have a feeling that many are not concerned with max level uber builds wearing all BiS, clearing bosses in Ultimate. Maybe in that scenario you do need max movement speed, and I’m just a casual who tools around in Veteran and Elite.
Just rubs me the wrong way when someone claims to speak for the community. The stuff that’s posted about on the forums has to be a small fraction of what players are actually doing, and IMO there’s very little that’s “mandatory” to enjoy the game.
Once again, Crate does not need to be defended. They are more than capable of deciding whether feedback is worthy of dev time. This kind of response is not the moral high-ground people seem to think it is, it is the opposite. Everyone is supposed to be welcome to post their gameplay experience, without being “that’s wasteful dev time” shamed.
I though Maya won the internet today…apparently you did. That is about the most terrible argument I heard all week. Where is your “moral high ground” comments for people who want to change the devotions because their optimized path doesn’t have MS.
Making that comment only places you on the same ground In which case you shouldn’t be on here claiming Crate doesn’t need defending when your comment is on the same level.
Let’s look at the facts before, thereby loading brain before shooting off mouth:
A) I want devotion a, b, c to have MS because to play x build I am required to go y path. To deviate makes my build subpar (in their eyes as this is a single players modable game)
And,
B) I don’t wanna use x, y, z component/augment for movement speed because then I can’t use the really good component or augment to reach some breakpoint that, once again is driven either by personal desires or by someone on the forums.
Result: change devotions so I can continue to go the path I want
Telling me that I’m high and mighty in one breath as saying people have the right to come here to make suggestions at the same time is paramount to hypocrisy.
My opinion on the matter (gameplay experience) is the same as theirs.
Let alone, let’s not forgot that your attempt at a post didn’t even address any of the issues itself.
