How to make balancing and gear diff easier to manage and control in your game

[Major Lee Ree]

Just simply nerf all stat increments so things can't get too crazy anyway

Last time they did this, 90% of the community complained. Gearscore exists for a reason, if you don't want to get gear diffed, then stick to Normals or 0-224 HR.

makes gear point less and thus looting to be pointless

Why?
Just play hr 0-224 it's pretty balanced
You can't go in full crafted blues and + to all stats are farmable in pve and pretty cheap to buy tbh

im of the opinion gearscores were when the game started going downhill tbh. and now with adventure mode I do think there should be unlimited normal and unlimited HR. But prob an unpopular opinion

I'm not so sure about that personally.

I enjoy DaD, and I did back then as well, but the issue that causes a lot of the problems that cropped up weren't solely IM/SDF being clueless.

The moment the game started being hollowed out and metagame'd with things like boss/spawnrushing everything started going downhill, players started treating the game more like an arena fighter rather than a Dungeon Crawler Extraction game, the vE portion of the game was eventually minimized down to just the bosses 90% of the time with people just running past everything to get to players.

Just look at how many people were outright infuriated about them randomizing the Goblin Caves because they could no longer find people just by running to the elevator/boss rooms, it wasn't a Dungeon Crawler to those players, it was a stomping ground.

yeah but it's now back to players running and trying to run you in anyways

i was meaning play test 3 the ai did shot and hit faster and move faster players didn't know how to bunny hop to by pass speed debuffs. that still happens today, not a player i haven't seen in pvp that doesn't bunny hope with less speed stats then me and still get away, and get me, 280 speed still gets a player with 320 i have no idea how that works but it's common as.

and players used to do real combat, then what it is now run hit run hit..

and lets not forget pve was hard as the dmg was far higher even the basic goblin mage hit hard and a almost none doge'n magic project

ps i know you know you're a know'er, knowing you're a know'er means you'd already know all this
