Godstones

Godstones have always been proc'ing a little bit too much than they should have on this server, but this last update made it a lot worse. While you can easily proc 2x godstones on a full MR set, a non-MR one will let you succesfully trigger at least 3x in a row and the funny - or rather sad - fact is that you aren't even facing a godstone hero such as assassins or aethertechs. Only by running a simple test (a 5 min duel with any class using auto-attacks), your opponent will trigger at BEST 3 which leaves you with the impression that this game/server is turning into a full RNG based skill-less supposed-to-be-fun-activity.

I am wondering how much this broken godstone feast is going to last for and how many people will reroll to assassin. Maybe it's been a conspiracy all along to make people quit songweaver and start playing a less overpowered class that has the advantage of the RNG Gods' full support though.

 

But I like procing 5x silence in one duel using my templar.

 

use blind vs sw((((((((

 

5x silence

 

My Godstone(para) Proc 6x in 1v1 sad CLeric

 

cant imagine that Para GS proc 6x wew,,

 

yeah , its true man

 

Para Godstone users (assasin) are so OP in this new update when they're full buff..

 

yeah . maybe

 

Yeah i had the same problem in a 3v3 when a silence gs proc'd 4 times in a row q-q i have 2850 of MR yet i got 40 secs silenced q-q

 

Lol, I can't stress enough ow I believe this to be true. Needless to say that the godstone proc rates are ridiculous, and rather annoying, I've heard many a people complain about it, recorded and showed battle logs, no matter what it is the same, and frankly I do want to believe the hypothesis that it is too broken. Annoying, yes. Should it be adjusted? I believe so.

Apart from all of that, rates like these are somewhat always in favor of melee classes, and one has to wonder if it is something on purpose or just the shining luck of RNGesus....

Edit: I will bring this up to the senior staff more though and see what they have to say about the matter : ]

 

Sure, assassins proc the most godstones but the reason players haven't rerolled to sin is because sin is one of the hardest classes to play whereas sw is one of the easiest. Anyone who thinks they can reroll sin and proceed to stomp their opponents because of OP godstone rates is mistaken. I've seen plenty of decent players with low ping reroll sin only to give up less than a week later. If you think good ping and godstones are all that's needed to make sins deadly, then you obviously don't know much about this class.

Also why would someone quit sw if godstone rates are broken at the moment? If anything sw is more powerful now because they can resist godstones.

 

Since i'm inactive on gamez for now, i don't know if something changed lately, i also know there are some classes that can proc godstones a lot, but i don't remember get like, more than 2 procs in a fight (except on open world pvp when more than 3 ~7 are focusing on you), on my MR set i have 2897 MR, but, on my MB set, i had a duel weeks ago with a templar (using my MB set) and i got more than 4 procs! (sadly), i wish this server could remove the godstones like i saw in another private server, anyway, this is out of question, of course.
If it is a bug, i hope it will get fixed for the good of the game.

 

In my opinion godstones shouldn't be taken out, they are made to balance the game. However, facing someone who's silence will proc 3 or 4 times in 1 single fight its kinda ridiculous. I dont know when this changed since in the past i barely got silenced by a godstone or paralyzed (im a MR cleric). Anyways, i hope people dont start making rumors about some "godstones hacks", lol.

 

I find it hard playing sin but i love how you,orzz and pizza take everyone apart...i saw how silence proc'd so much when pizza and hannahfaith duelled..in a blink its over..

 

In fact I do know all that, but most people don't and you can't expect certain people to understand simple things as that when they just want to play. And I have seen plenty of decent players with low ping reroll sin only to stick with it even thought they didn't understand very well how the class works. As for your last statement, how about you ask all the people who main songweaver how many godstones activating on them they have to deal with?

 

My SW is so powerful resisting godstones that they only proc on me ~8-9 times by Melee classes. I have never been more powerful, I can tell.

 

I don't know why you bring up the topic of rerolling to sin in the first place. Honestly it seems like you personally have a hard time playing against one so that's why you can't help but mention sins when it's not even relevant. Also I never said anything about godstones not proccing on SW. Yeah, of course if the proc rate is higher then a SW will eat more godstones. But it doesn't change the fact they eat half as many as another class. If the rate is truly broken, then it affects SW the least.

OK now try playing a gladiator with low Mr and no silence or para resist. See if you still think 8 to 9 times is bad.

 

Hm. Thank you for the suggestion but I don't need to play another class to see how much my GS proc's on others. It's somehow ridiculous for each and every class, and that's exactly the point here.

 

My point was that it's only half as ridiculous for SW which you try to refute without even testing. SW has 500 silence resist or 500 para resist depending on what buff you use. You can complain about 8 or 9 godstone procs but you are already much better off than another class. That's why it would make no sense to reroll if you're already a SW. You would go from a shitty situation to an even shittier one. I don't know why you can't see what's obvious. Oh, maybe if you actually played other classes or tested things it would be obvious to you. But nah, can't be bothered to do that. Just complain and complain.
