Brutal weapons nerf, round two

[Drek]

So they actually did it again.

This time tin weapons got the nerf stick. (dont know abo others)

Especially Martial swords and claws (guess they had it in or monks)

I really hope they get their cranium out of their rectum soonish, they should really know better by now.

Personally I'm glad I'm moving on to iron at the time of this patch.

Yep and Iron "Balancing" is probably next. Nerf is such an overused term. They make adjustments to weapons based on data they collect. Not all adjustments are downward, you just only hear about the so-called "Nerfs" because people cry about them.

Are crafted weapons still comparable to dropped weapons of the same level? Can someone post some numbers?

They are just trying to make the game more challenging from data they collect. If they thinks its to easy the make it tougher not a big deal at all.

Agreed. I think people forget that this game was released at least 2 months early. That is 2 months of balancing and data collecting that they missed out on. Look at how far they have come in less than 1 month! Imagine what is still in store for us.

They make money by us playing longer as well . Making it harder is worth thousands of dollars

Very true and even more funny.

Careful that kind of brilliance scares some folks.

Why should crafted weapons be like drops? A tin anything against something steel (or...flesh...wood...etc) is going to die really fast...I'll never understand MMO crafting "progression".

The one thing that does worry me is, what seems to be the deviation from the 'player crafted items will be the best in the game' seems that its getting to where player crafted items are only 'as good as dropped' items. I guess that concerns me a bit. Might be wrong and I'm not saying thats the way it IS going, just that it does have me concerned that that might be the direction things are going. If it is, I don't like it at all.

While I would disagree with the idea that crafted items are merely equal, I think the quote I read said that the best items require both adventuring and crafting to obtain, not that crafted items will always be better. Correct me if I'm wrong here...
