Forgotten Tales

Sufferings all mages going through in game since game was introduced.

- Heal blocking ( someone deliberately stands near us during a pvp . Even if we remove staff , they come close to us)

- Mana divided ( If several people attacking us , we got to target all , this results to a low cast of mana as its divided)

- Having poor armor on gears ( the only class so far which got an absolute poor armor )

- Spells protection ( Other 2k classes can have up to 95% spell resistance from mages + without forgetting some having ballistas as well which makes an approcimation of 2% . Summing up to be 97%.. Is that fair ? We mages not even having a damage resistance from those char , having poor armor.

- Our more prior factor in game ( We mages having robe 500 with 120 mana on it. Robe 750 - 180 mana .. So mana are never quite exact on gears such as other classes having a 750 plate , wow 750 armor on it + damages without bearing in mind their spell protection.

hahaha
yes this debate is going on in multiple places
a few threads on forum
players talking to me in game
and on facebook


Many have noted, that the problem with this idea - it can't be a "yes or no" thing....
not with the way things are set up....
if other changes are made... maybe....

Well.. I changed the poll options...

Sadly, all votes were lost (sorry, I didn't know it would happen)

I encourage all to vote again - and only one vote per player, please - I'll be watching, and I may decide to act on those who would cheat here

I actually think it can be a yes or no issue... in fact, I think that all such matters not only can, but must be considered this way lest we accept the idea that nothing would ever change until we have a plan to make everything perfect, which is obviously impossible :p

oh, one thing that I think would help the conversation -

we need to stop acting like mages are victims because of other classes having magic resistant gear... that is a measure put into place to help balance the fact that mages were way, way, WAY OP

Every class could be considered to be a victim to something... it's all the point of view of the player.
I consider myself a victim to poor controls ....but not everyone has the difficulties I have.
But what blitzcraig is saying, in the big picture, this particular instance does not make them a victim.

I'd expand on it, that yes, mages cannot kill some now (wearing gear) that they could in the past.
This is not victimization - this was an attempt to balance.
Some may think that this "nerf" was unfair.... others not so much.
Myself, I think the system is not perfect yet, but this idea was a sound one. I may have done it differently myself, but everyone could say similar.

I still believe they are too in some ways. I'd love it if my sword had an attack skill that used multiplication for damage based on str.... IMO, that would make it fair... (not just swords, all other classes)

I vote yes

Were you paid to vote yes!

Everyone knows his own pain the best.
I just sense others' pain for good, for a better in-game environment.
And, wait, what?
Did I say anything other classes need NOT to be improved, buffed, nerfed or changed?
I vote what I like and so do you. Every single tense of the word "pay" in my world is not your concern.

It is his mana. He should have the freedom to use it on himself . Is he obliged to heal everybody Close to him and get his mana divided?Why are some people insisting on getting free heal by standing close to the mage? if that's the case then other characters should also have their damage divided while pvp. Say damage reduced by the percentage of spell protection. A character having 95% magic protection should also have 95% damage reduction while in pvp.

HA!!!! Yeah right!

+1

and in case Ryaca wasn't clear,YEAH RIGHT!

AHHH!! POOR MAGES.
PPFFFTT!
