Remember now guys they said 2/19 was a big PATCH DAY...and here we are still on the sinking boat where a giant hole has just emerged.

[L337fox]

This is probably why they don't bother with balancing patches. They except p2w to balance underpowered classes and to break OP ones :<.

Quality fix

[VoxStellarum]

I don't know whats worse the AoV patch or this Honing patch.

Those players (I consider them to be the loyal ones) who actually stayed after the horrendous results of the AoV patch was just starting to calm down and actually give the devs the patience and hope to improve the wrecked system, then comes the honing system.   

[StormHaven]

See the funny thing is, honing  in it's current state removes all need to refine which cuts off this games problem #1 or #2 cash flow.

so even from  a $$ stand point it's bad to keep this patch.

Dear god. I had a bad feeling about this coming update before the patch notes were even updated. I log today, hoping the honing thing might be interesting and not terrible... how wrong I was. This is extremely bad, guys. Extremely. Not just the fact of this extremely huge "only once" gambling thing, but rather than "help" it just further increased the unbalances. This is SCREAMING for rollback ASAP. Its not just one or two people saying it, its MANY, including kp spenders,including top players... 

The entire honing system should just GO. Want better stats and such? Keep the seed runes for that. No need to add even MORE ways to further increase the gap between classes and such. Its TERRIBLE. We dont even care if its all "free to get with bp and mp". Its the fact of how BADLY designed and planned it is. Makes 0 sense, and its just stupid. I got a bow with 2k matk...wth... why would I even use that!? Casters getting 65k+ str.... how can you even GET 65k of anything!? Where's all the hard working on cards, titles, gear, etc..... all thrown away by some "lucky" honing?? Which can only be done ONCE per item, so if you're unlucky then "suck it up". Is this the way to treat your playerbase!?

 

 

Frankly, dear WP GM/CMs, if you want feedback on this new feature, lemme say this: Do a rollback to before this patch and Remove the system entirely. Completely. Please.

Everything is wrong with this system. Everything.

 

Want more feedback? Okay. If you insist on keeping this stupid honing thing, then at least change the max amount increased for every stat/feature by honing powders. Make it so at max we can see 100-200 extra stats, and not 65k, thats outrageous. Make it so we get at most 50-60 more crit or parry if anything, or something within reasonable terms. Not 500+ per piece without even refining. Casters with 110k hp !? When a tank in same terms of gear might only have like 30k at most? Wth. Thats so wrong. Why bother getting osiris gear, getting cards, getting "op" titles or refining to +20...when some lucky dude comes in with a whooping 10k agi and 20k atk and oh maybe 5k+ vit more. Where's the so-called balance there?

 

I try to have some hopes for this game, but when things like these happen... it only encourages me to quit. Just like seeing so many people, friends, guildies, do it too.

I dont even think the devs are gonna listen to us qqing. how lovely. (since when did they actually listen)

[kotakkotak]

+1 rollback and delete honing system

[Maharaorajah]

I don't mind a roll back...as long as I get my money back....

[Phreeoni]

If it stays? Hell if it isn't rolled back and removed or fixed tonight or tomorrow I'm walking away from RO2. I'm a medium KP spender and me leaving probably won't make a lick of difference to the cash flow they get but it's something. This pretty much reinforces even more RO2 needs a test server, this bad, so bad it is worth of a true rollback to remove it. If this keeps up I see RO2 losing more and more people in mass waves.

 QFT. Sad, sad truth.

Its not okay change it.

[Harkoa]

Please consider doing a rollback and not some lame band-aid patch. Tired of thoughtless fixes/additions...

[IamLt]

You really want to be able to hone your gear more than once?

[Haboob]

You really want to be able to hone your gear more than once?

 

There are some with +20 weapons that have the wrong stats on them, how is that fair? Allow powders to be a requirement to hone and remove the OP stats some are getting along with adding the ability to redo and its a good system.

[lokasenna]

I win....

Spoiler

 

65535 is probably the stat cap (as in database value cap), which means this is a bug.

That being said 65k STR on a sorc LOL

[IamLt]

if they remove the OP stats fine. but lets see what happens

[4458130508113924833]

Remember 20k healing reds? This is the remix.

[Winterdrop]

Rollback and fix classes.

 

The nature of every class is disappearing:

There are better tanks than knights, better healers than priests, etc.

 

Just fix the game ._.

[Chocs]

I like the Honing system. It lets gear have stats that it otherwise wouldn't have.

 

Just put a more reasonable cap on the numbers and allow honing to be repeatable on the same gear pls D:

This, just saw a warrior with like, almost 2k int with his honned gear, he had 1000% crits. Otherwise he couldn't get int on the rest of his gear, so just cap it.
