Dev Update: Changing damage reduction - update!

[hygh]

As others have already stated, the best way to go is to put a cap on damage reduction (along with fixing the Thick Skin bug, of course). What the devs currently intend on doing plain and simply is the wrong way to go about solving the problem. Some perks will see little to no use after the upcoming patch, and that is not good folks, not good at all.

And yet another that doesn't totally understand what's going on and make a rash assumption. read post #10 and then re-read first post.

People aren't running around in PvE with that kind of reduction. I've been playing this game since day one and I've yet to see it.

But they are running around with the defense perks, especially when they run into volge emergencies or sieges. This will essentially screw those builds up. Once again Trion has screwed something up in pve because of pvp. But this time instead of addressing the actual issue, they're changing something that no one has complained about.

Personally, I don't care.
However, out of curiosity. How will having multiple damage reduction perks equipped work?

Will it just nullify some making it only useful to have one equipped, or will it just proc the best one, go on cooldown then proc the other.

Example.
"If a player has both the Detachment perk (12% damage resist after kill) and Juggernaut perk (15% damage resistance after melee kill). Players will only have 15% damage resistance after a melee kill, not 27% due to stacking Detachment and Juggernaut."
If you melee kill and get the 15% resistance for 5s, once that is up, if you kill again will you then get the 12% resistance? Or will both be on cooldown?
Don't all damage resistance skills have an internal cooldown?

Again, will only one work making it useless to have more than one equipped or will they all work juts not at the same time giving you a longer damage reduction duration, just not a huge burst one?

Now that is a productive question!
Thank You.

Great, I guess you can just delete all damage reducing perks other than Thick-Skinned

/sigh

I have been here since day one, foolishly bought the Season pass and collectors edition, but still found this game fun in spite of all of the bugs and Trions crappy lag-arific servers. But being able to stack bonuses with perks was an INTENDED function, while people CHEATING and GLITCHING isn't. Your harming people who use the perks as intended to mitigate damage so they can survive a few seconds longer. I only have one loadout that uses such mitigations and that's my BMG/healer class where I heal and pick people up during Sieges if I choose to play that role.

Please go back to the drawing board wipe this flawed change as well as the one with the grenades and leave it alone and fix the problem of people CHEATING and GLITCHING. This fix is only harming people more in PVE, I don't pvp myself because I don't like it. When you pander to the PVP crowd when it is an infantismal minority it boggles my mind. I bought this game for the story, for the tie-in with the tv show, not for the few pvp maps present, at best pvp is a distraction to help break up the monotony of the main game. However it seems PVP has turned into something that has broke the game.The fact that the whiners from pvp get heard while everyone else who has valid points get ignored is just plain stupid. I really hate to join the Hater-ade Trion smashing bandwagon but d@mn, just d@mn, Trion I'm wondering when your gonna pull your heads out of your collective @$$es.

But I digress, to pull this type of crap, has me livid and ready to join countless others who have given up on this game, wish I could sell it for some sort of credit at Gamestop but its not even worth wiping my @$$ with anymore. Thanks Trion this was the straw that broke this veterans back.

No problem!
lol though I imagine my question will be drowned out by people complaining for various reasons before a dev or community person sees it. :P

It's not a rash assumption, it's an educated guess. Since DR perks will no longer stack, certain DR perks will likely be favored over others. Putting a cap on total DR would be better than what Trion currently intends on doing.
