why nerf all of this to the ground when the obvious solution to the mage problem was always dodge.

adding a healthy (limited) amount of dodge and suddenly we would have build changes, mages would focus on healing or would have to invest into a bit of aim (would not be a useless stat like it is now) and ninjas would be happy and useful again. #make agility great again

Watch the video, it is all explained in there very well.

 

Short answer: technical limitations of the game itself

yes, i know. I watched the video.

just occurred to me to mention dodge, because dodge/aim used to be a viable stat and just thought if you can make other stats work should prolly make this one too..

aim and evade has some "trouble". There is a problem that the so-called "summoned skills" formula is completely ruined. That is why I got it slightly to work in PvE but not in PvP so far. But I am not giving up on that matter. Just have a lot of things on my plate right now.

The thing that I've never liked with Evade Rate was the fact that it gave you a random chance to dodge an attack that could be decesive. On top of that, some classes, such as Mage doesn't have a 100 % chance of freezing, which would make catching filled with RNG over RNG but we'll see how it goes if it ever meant to be used again in the future.

You have an above average pc so in non-laggy scenarios you might not be hit as much.

Attack Speed is one part stat, another part graphical lag.

I find this pretty hilarious to be honest, a hard cap! I'm sure it'll be good for the game but this could've been done much better. This just eats away a lot one major aspect of the game, which is gearing.

I still find it unfair that players will lagwalk even with mspd capped at 400 or less just because of where they live and get away freely.

Alright, I find it funny that there's just a hard cap after that thread from before. Further changes to scaling with a softcap or which ever way would've made people even slower on average, which you'd think would be resulting in even less problems. And you could've still built ms.

Obviously some people wouldn't have been happy with that because it would've made them slower, even though they still would've relatively become much faster when compared to how much faster ms stackers were before.

But meh, this'll do and I trust it helps the game. On the atk speed side I don't really have any problems with this since the cap is pretty high. If the atk speed of "x-spam classes" is limited to 270 just because of the damage though, that I don't agree with at least as a permanent solution. I think the dmg issue should be dealt with directly, and this 30% cap doesn't even make a noticable difference there. But guess it'll be fine too, for now atleast.

just figured I'd put this out there but for some reason on my invoker it doesn't show the max limit of the attack speed like it does for the rest of my chars after the patch, not sure if it's a bug or something but I'm not able to go over 200% on my invoker in general just yet anyway so I don't know if it just appears later on or something or if it's just me that this is happening to etc.

Popcorn's mentioned this b4 but mspeed was never meant to go past 200 hence y people r still lag walking.

I fully agree to this. Sadly the biggest advantage of people playing from all around the world is the biggest disadvantage at the same time. This problem does exist on any MMO there is without regional servers. Dragon Saga has neither the resources nor the amount of players from specific regions which would legitimate setting up regional servers. With regional servers preventing the usage of lag walk on purpose would be a lot easier. We are aware of the fact that some are doing that on purpose because this is one of a few things left which have not been fixed yet. But we are still working on solutions for every single known abuse/exploit there is.  
Anyways if you have a video of people you think they're doing it on purpose please send it over to me by PM. We will review it and the GM team will take necessary actions if needed. I need to mention that no one will be facing actions who is not clearly guilty.

I can confirm this happening for the Priest. It will be fixed in a short maintenance today.

There it is ! Going to see how it is in game when I go back home. But I guess that it's not really a bad thing for me since I play on a low specs laptop, I just hope that this MS cap will prevent people from "lag-walking" and running while being supposed to be frozen or stunned.

 

Though, still waiting for the classes balancing, I hope it's gonna be great and that every class will have its own role in a party or in a groupped PvP. I think that the development team should do the same as they did for this issue : asking for the community's point of view and taking it into account.

Is it possible to make the MS cap for non-agile classes a bit lower than the agile ones since with the current cap being 400 for all classes will mean that classes such as mages will be even harder to run away from since you can't outrun them. They already have a problem with their client sided freeze and wizards will be able to slow the agile classes so they even have more than them. In my opinion this will lead to them being too broken but we'll just have to wait and see if this is the case. If they are too broken with the current cap, the side of the community who doesn't play mages will probably make a post about it sooner or later. I'd suggest they have 300-350 cap instead and agile ones have 400.

I had a conversation with a staff member already about this and i got told there wont be a cap for both of it before there is an actual balance. Since this cap happened, i have lost all my trust in the words from the staff

 

FORUM.png
 
The text says translated : "That doesnt mean, that we just cap Attack- and Movementspeed before we do a real class balance.
Just that you know and that no false rumors appear.
Right now there are no concrete plans, just different thoughts to achieve a balance."
 
Also the User were tried to gather some information about a year ago for the weird Damage calculations(https://forums.warpp...g-skills/page-2). We sure did get a result from the Staff, but what happened so far?? Nothing. All that happened was the "new" Arcadia patch. the "" are used because some parts of it like the city and the story line are just used, they were in it already, you could at least have checked all the story texts and change the "Skygarden" into "Arcadia City" The socket system may be new, we have no certain information about this but since this happened i doubt all the staff ever told us about "new" stuff they wanna do and about new stuff they wanna do.
 
AND YES THIS IS CRITIC TO THE STAFF BECAUSE YOU LIE TO US.

Now my Critics to the amount of Attackspeed cap.

To make this clear i am not against one.

But i want to make this clear, Why do you cap the classes with an already really short attackspeed animation at only 30% below the class with the longest attack animation. I mean Overlord Attack animation is like 3 to 4 times longer than the Summoner Attack Animation. If you wanna make it a good cap, cap those short animation classes lower!!

This is only just more a nerf to those who have a longer attack animation, especially for the overlords since the Overlord is most usefull with attackspeed and his stun chaincombo.

You cant just set such a cap without thinking about the real facts.

My suggestions are to divide PvE and PvP caps and set the cap depending on the amount of time the animation actually takes (the shorter the animation the lower the cap).

I heard of this issue rarely, but it's not happening because of the maintenance. It seems to be the same issue as for the "With the power of love" buff falling down to Lv. 1

 

So they don't fix this? I wish I noticed when it went away. I had it since the wedding thing was opened.

Is the atk speed of cleric, summoner and destroyer limited to 270 (instead of 300) because of technical or balance reasons? I'd like an answer on this, just for future reference. Cause I don't think these caps should be used as a mean of balancing.
