Thank you for ruining critical

[lethargy101]

100% is only your character chance to critical without any other number which is practically worthless now. Sure you could in theory critical 100% of the time with no bar but what good is it if someone has high block or a mob. They can be criticaled but not 2x each and every time. Or There high block reduce your critical to 70%. Kingsisle made it clear there not wanting wizards to 2x every single time so you best to believe that your never going to do 2x consistently anymore. It be random when you do now.

Good sir I cannot block my own critical heals. I have 100% crit. How do i not critical heal every heal? I expect all heals to to double. if you can't agree say KI I want to be paid.

I don't think I could ever invest in spending copious amounts of real money on pack gear. Just from looking at the past, change will always be constant in this game. Gear always changes around 2-3 years. Some pieces will last longer, but no one really can know for sure if it will, until it does.

In my opinion, pushing pack gear sets or anything that's essentially "the best gear" in a paywall is simply not sustainable, and carries a heavy backlash with it in future changes. There's a fine line to providing people choices to win in a game, and I hope Kingsisle finds better ways of providing that to the player base besides the insane marketing they've been doing this past quarter. I really do feel bad for those that have invested this time and/or money for their perfect sets. It's like adding a new talent slot to a pet, only for it to fail at mega-ultra. Having to restart over, as I'm sure we all know, is just the freaking worst.

Some things I can see as being a better cost-benefit is updating game mechanics in a new direction or gameplay style (besides turn-based or critical), something that challenges and improves our current system. They could always raise zone-area pricing, make the entirety of Wizard City (besides high-level zones) free, and/or raise subscription cost. They could also keep the classic Crown/Sub sales that they've done in the past (i.e. 60,000 crowns for $60). Just my though.
Implementing school-specific specialties is great and can be done (with care), but can we get back to being actual wizards? I guess there's only so much lore out there to take/implement. It's hard to see these spells as being.. actually powerful... (flinging a smore? really?) I love the creativity, but I'd like to summon Giants or Warlords at this point in my studies lol (just a personal preference though!)

Yes, you can block your own crit heals. Crit is changing across the board based on target block.

I know you think Eric works for KI but, I have known him for several years and I can assure you, he does not. He is just very good at what he does and knows very well how to calculate the numbers.

Things change. I don't and won't waste real money of buying the best crowns gear and I won't chase after top dropped gear in the game.

To clarify a little- you can't block your critical heal- however the higher block you have(if you're healing yourself/if you're healing someone else it looks at their block) the lower the critical heal multiplier will be.

Thank you. I did understand that aspect and I should have clarified it when I posted.

[KieranCaster]

Exactly they are hiding the truth and this is a slight of hand. I know I will crit 100% of the time as a fact.

This is deception by KI 100%. I don't care to know I'm going to land a critical hit. Share real data. I'd rather Critical and know it was blocked, than this new nonsense. Change the formula so the higher the Critical Vs weak Block changes success rate. I want to know I critical and know I'm 100%.

More truth and transparency.

KI are lying to cover the truth.

Also critical mean doubling hit or heal. Tell the truth and confirm. You want to change PVP, I don't care. Critical has meant double since Celestia, hit or heal. I want to have a massive refund in dollars, not crowns if you want to change anything. Everyone spent soooooooooooooo much real money, based on what these critical wands do. I bought bundles for other wizards to guarantee additional critical wands . I want my cash back not crowns. honor your agreements!

I mean even selling these items today is even more dishonest and fraudulent.

Whether you actually believe in the changes or not should see how fundamentally wrong this is. KI sold these items to make money and players bought in good faith, they made so much money off these wands.

You know if you want to slow the power curve let's nerf Dragoon's gear and all Empyrea gear. Nobody paid a cent for them. lower the damage kings and queens. you talked of being over powered in KI Live and I paraphrase It doesn't matter if PVE is overpowered. PVP needs leveling to be competitive.

Simple change spells on PVP only, nerf and ban crown gear for PVP only, ban all TC and pets. KI won't because PVP players don't really want a level playing field and would quit. PVP players will never be happy. There's a reason why people talk about the first or second age of PVP, it was fairer and mostly it was not pay to win. The only issue was facing much higher levels, without spells to match, with most not having high rank TC, way above their level.

I agree with one thing whole heartily. If an investment was made in good faith, and the terms were changed by one party without consent of the other party, then that stinks. That is not right.

KI will say under the terms of the agreement, you don't even own your character - they do. We are merely renting, improving and maintaining our wizards. We really don't own them.

Yes, that stinks. I didn't like it when I spent all the gold keys to get rampage, only to have it change.

This is KI flexing it's muscle for a future we don't really understand, and something we need to live with.

I would suggest taking your name literally, (Lethargy: A pathological state... of unresponsiveness) and just chill.

Dude, it truly stinks, and I feel your pain. Especially if you invested hard currency to acquire the gear.

The Terms of the agreement is the ultimate scoreboard.

Just my thoughts.

I feel like you're massively overreacting over a 30% or so reduction to critical damage and probable similar reduction to mob health. You don't need to act like you're being personally attacked and shout about how KI is lying to us or whatever because your criticals will do a little less damage. Frankly I haven't been too worried about my critical since Polaris came out. The fact that each enemy can independently block makes it too unreliable for hitting effectively with how blades multiply together.

[ChoGath]

To clarify a little- you can't block your critical heal- however the higher block you have(if you're healing yourself/if you're healing someone else it looks at their block) the lower the critical heal multiplier will be.

So if you get to reduce the damage dealt by enemy critical hits from mobs, bosses, and pvp opponents, then you don't need as big of heals to recover. What a novel idea, that something would have consequence that is not 100% in your favor.

[GOOZEKING]

Soooo judging by the new critical system is it really dead or not lol. Cause I got an all damage pet and an all critical pet and I got to know which one I’m gonna use. The critical one gives me 100% critical but the damage one only gives me 74% so if critical dead then I can just use my damage one.

[Happy Fun Ball]

Since when do lost souls critical?
