Dev Update: Changing damage reduction - update!

[Dracian]

Surprise surprise, looks like Trion is back peddling.

Update about this change’s timing: In the interest of improving the quality of the damage reduction update, we are going to need to delay it until our next code patch. Without a code update, the damage numbers displayed when fighting another player would be inaccurate to the damage done. This would cause players to see damage done to opponents then see it quickly restore as the damage difference was transmitted from the server. By waiting until we can update the reported damage functionality, we are preventing confusion once the damage reduction update goes live. Thanks – and we will let you know when that patch is coming!

Why am I not even surprised ?

Ok, for crying out loud, first you complain that they are nerfing this stuff, now you complain that they aren't. You should be happy that they are not implementing it the way they had it and are instead taking another look at it. They saw what we were saying and chose to give it another go.

I am pretty sure that no matter what Trion does, you will complain about it. It makes it hard to take you seriously.

Oh no, what ever shall I do? Valdrane78 won't take me seriously. I am simply abashed.. please oh great one, what shall I do to gain your favour? on second thought, bugger off.

Moving on.. I was actually pointing out that they're back peddling, like they did the first time with this nerf after what they said on the live stream. You know how they magically found this issue after people complained about perma invulnerability in pvp and they replied with a slap to the face to the entire pvp community(it's a clever use of mechanics and they condone it), and then a little while later after they were called out for it, their answer was to jek up the perks that are already lack luster as it is and now they're going to wait on implementing it and give a half arsed excuse for it right after the forums erupted in opposition, pointing out how stupid the idea was? I complain when there's merit and I point out their inconsistencies and back peddling when it happens because the more light brought to these issues, the better chance people will stop letting them get away with this shtako.

I was however not complaining about them not nerfing it, I was making an observation and also informing the rest of the forum about what's going down. Now you can kindly run along.

It would be more accurate to say that Trion has a knack/skill/consistent pattern of compounding issues and thus draws criticism, rightfully, on a very frequent basis.

Whoa, someone read my mind, and across the interwebz no less!
Defiance is just a game, Trion is just a company. If either one causes you to lose sleep... then for the love of everything holy, STOP PLAYING, STOP POSTING NEGATIVITY, GO OUTSIDE!

Hey guys:

Just to clarify with the update - the damage changes are still happening, we just need to patch in a different way and that's going to take more time.

nobody here on the forums is a "somebody". You're all just as worthless as everyone else is. So it doesn't matter who he is, just like it doesn't matter who you are or who the complainer is.

I 'believe' he was speaking to credibility having been established.

Can we get any word on whether or not this change will affect and fix the weapon bug that has been causing the PvP damage reduction issues, or if there is any sort of investigation going on to find and fix that bug? Thank you.
