Correction? You dont want to use word nerf? Becouse reducing something is nothing else than nerf.
And unless you nerf it to level of annihilator, what would be totaly unfair, introducing additional set, becouse you want to cover mob bad feelings about this server, will crush balance of sets in rr80 environment in long term. Adding just one atm is just allowing doomflayer power level to exist in future. And i remember everyone in the staff was tryiong to avoid introducing doom/warp.
Very bad move from my pov.
For yours and everyone else who should be interested's (IE the entirety of the RoR playerbase) situation awareness, a "correction" is necessary to prevent the debacle experienced in the AoR live setting. As they added more gear to try to desperately hang on to subscribers, they failed to plan in the long run a way to keep the playing field balanced, by adopting a "just add more" approach. This meant that the higher your gear and rank went, the greater the change your stats were from your last upgrade. In order to combat this, RoR has developed a conceptual approach to the issue, by reducing the "power" (raw stats, armor and bonuses) applied to each gear set as they increase in level; such that you feel a bigger difference going from rr40 to rr50, than you will going from rr75 to rr80. The current Conq/Dom pieces are not in line with this methodology, and must be corrected. The corrections inbound will be primarily to non-mainstat stats, and if not announced, would likely go unnoticed by the majority- but I wan't to maintain transparency and assure our playerbase that these changes are being made properly.
Here's a graphical representation of the live problem, the RoR solution and the correction. It took over 9000 hours in MSPaint.
Damn... This is a really huge gear nerf compared to live. I understand the need to reduce the power gap, but at the same time feel that like
those of us who play for a long time don't get rewarded properly, as 80 renown gear isn't much stronger than 50. We spend a lot, a LOT of time and effort grinding this high level gear to get... What... +3 wounds and + 5 int ? (looking at you, Dominator). And now you want to nerf it even more.
