Fear changes reverted?

Post by Lelol »

About this thread: https://www.smolderforge.com/forums/vie ... f=9&t=9596

After the first update on Feb 16, fear worked much better. It truly felt a lot more like I remember it on tbc retail.

Now after having done a lot of duels, it really does feel like the changes have been reverted, I'd say the mean value of a the time fear lasts now on a target with corruption, curse of agony & siphon life is about 2 - 2,5 seconds... Many times it breaks within less than a second.

Was there something wrong with the new fear changes? Did it cause other errors or what?

Will it be implemented again?

Fun fact, I've never changed something to fear mechanics (just claimed I did). This just states that Fear is RNG, sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's breaking fast.

Alright so you lied, how do I know you're not lying again?

and it's not "just" RNG. It follows the formula that you have given it. I'm saying that formula needs to be loosen up a little, because right now it breaks too easily.

I still think that it was changed but now reverted.


The chances of these scenarios happening on Smolderforge are literally astronomical as of now:

http://youtu.be/5Ixfivc3AoU?t=1m39s about 7 sec howl
http://youtu.be/5Ixfivc3AoU?t=3m59s doesn't stop until death (about 3 sec)
http://youtu.be/5Ixfivc3AoU?t=5m32s doesn't stop until death (about 6-7 sec)
http://youtu.be/5Ixfivc3AoU?t=5m45s full duration
http://youtu.be/5Ixfivc3AoU?t=6m54s 6+ sec howl.
http://youtu.be/5Ixfivc3AoU?t=7m47s fear breaks after about 6 seconds

These are all examples from the same video, some even in the same arena game. Sure was probably quite lucky but what I'm saying is that fear did not break instantly or after barely 2 seconds on retail compared to as often as it does here.
