Rune of Battle is the new ID - who needs Slayers?

[Nameless]

Dont play dumb, the bug is casting rob on invisible wh who run around ppl and wipe them staying the whole time in stealth mode. This combination of skills is unintended so it is bug at the system and ppl exploit that knowing pretty well what they are doing

What wonderful nostalgia. Aor was just something like that:P You dudes made me burst too;D
And you've probably forgotten the rules in pvp the more you tackle them the more they'll annoy you just a little tip

its hard to write down its test to find ''work as intend'' abilitie, so ppl pass by all posts about battle of rune. we have low poplation in test server so gm/dev team decided test it here.
byt no, tup/day/night need **** on athers to increase trashtalking/abuse/nameshaming.
p.s sad if balance team has such ppl as tup. ( all good players left game or balance team?)

One last try to explain this for the road; they didn't and haven't tested *anything* to do with Rune of Battle on live.

Rune of Battle has been working this way *forever* - like, quite literally, since AoR was still live

Here's a video of us running this exact same thing in *MARCH 2024*

Here's a killboard reference as further proof

But enjoy dragging and taking goes at the single balance team member that's in TUP like half the server has been for the past few days, not sure why the RoR team is so selective in their enforcement of their harassment policies (like how they allowed Troma to be actively harassed for over a year without punishing any of the repeat offenders, and yet ban people like Granur from the RoR Discord for simply sharing a link to Troma's website) - but it's not my battle to fight

I swear to god this is my last forum post on the RoB stuff now - I'm going to be strong (I'm lying, I'm a serial **** yapper)

rune of battle dont break wh stealth (i already told it in ather thread ) and its abuse mechaniks of game (dont think that magus has tactic what shows stealth). dont act innocent or dumb. on any rob thread its tup who is shiting on athers. because ppl whant to know explanations and what they read is trashing or how dumb are athers and tup are so smart.(btw its your own words)

Do you have a source on it being unintended?

Every single buff in the game works on stealthed characters, as far as I'm aware. HoTs tick on stealthed characters, heals hit them. AoE damage affects them, as do AoE debuffs.

Literally no player ability has ever been restricted from working on a stealthed target, to my knowledge.

How on earth you get from that situation to jump to being able to say this ability is definitely the one ability in all history that isn't supposed to work like every other ability has, like it is unquestionably true, I don't know. We have no idea what was in the mind of the person who made the ability right now.

It *could* be unintended. They might have just forgotten stealth existed when the ability was made. Equally, it could be unintended that you can heal stealthed targets too. Less likely, for sure, but...possible.

Until you know for sure, you don't get to state something is unintended like it's fact.


Just to be clear - I agree being able to use RoB (and other similar abilities) on stealthed targets is problematic and needs changing. But just because something is strong doesn't mean it's abusive to use it. Otherwise a lot of WL players would be in trouble right now.

Dumb? Ha

Who actually told you its a bug? Bug is than something not working like patch notes, tooltips or other stated game mechanics describe it to be

I've never actually encountered so many toxic behaviour from so "self proclaimed casual", priders and other very loud persons on forums who literally has no clue what words they use, what do they say, what has been actually happening. Amazes me actually...

Why is there no punishement for your harrasment? You falsely accuse players for what was not the case

[Uberlix]

Gotta love the RoB "incident", it brings out the very best of some parts of the RoR playerbase.

Some people create super low-effort posts to outright troll and take the piss, cosplaying as new players and just make fun of the situation (People got punished on the forums for less in the past, but hey not my battle to fight)

Other people create posts to circlejerk each other, because shockingly highly geared veterans that have been playing this game for years, can deal with this case of RoB usage better than lower geared and less experienced players.

Can only imagine what the situation on the RoR Discord was like, might be worth getting back in briefly just to search for RoB / Rune of Battle, bound to be some good reads.

For me personally, this whole affair and the one from a year+ ago, caused my excitement for the DPS patch to skyrocket. Can't wait to see, what is in store for us

if you need to have it explained to you why being able to wipe an entire wb with a single invisible character might be considered exploiting i dont think you should be allowed to own or operate a computer

Show me who wiped entire warband by 1 invisible character? Where and how it did happen?

I'd rephrase you to a following: if one says something but cant support his claims one shouldnt be able to join discussion. Believe it would make things way more civil i guess

Minisynns latest posts I understand that this event was about putting a spotlight on potential issues with rune of battle...I guess?
With around 700 kills (like some screenshot showed) they were quite successful for a niche setup and most likely have some good footage of what damage one or two stealth bombs can do.
