boosting is really out of hand and its all because of the ability “blizzard”.
the issue is that blizzard doesnt care how many people its hitting. it does damage to ALL that is in the circle. To stop boosting you simple just put a cap on how many targets blizzard can hit in the circle. simply make blizzard only damage 10 targets in the circle at a time. this will stop boosting completely since in mara for example the mages are literally blizzarding 100-300 mobs at once. If you cap blizzard to 10 at a time itll make blizzard still usefull in dungeons and raids but it will completely remove boosting. I know people are going to attack this because they are making so much gold but this has to stop. 70g for 5 runs in mara for 4 people is 280 gold an hour. this ruins the economy as well. simply cap the blizzard spell insted of it not caring and youll easly improve the game and the economy at the same time.
this is a really dank post, frank.
10 is way too much. I would say 5. Blizzard hits too hard for being an aoe spell and built-in cc. I have no idea what the developers were thinking when they created blizzard spell, hard hitting aoe that mass slow and freeze with talent, wtf… It simply has no equivalent in game. Warlock’s bit aoe is a suicidal spell with occasional stun if talented.
The issue is that there is like 10 people who think it is a issue. Move on
5-10 is fine honestly. than the next best “booster” will be a paladin with skull shield etc. same thing. if it becomes a huge problem just cap the AOE to make boosting not possible. EZ
So, you want retail in classic.
Diminishing returns by mob volume leading to cutoff is a retail thing.
Also bypassed by bringing 2+ AOE pro’s. And didn’t replace boosting. It just got rebranded to carry. Since just limited to endgame. Carry to get M10+ ready for example.
Done on alts to appease the raiderio folks. Paid for by the main who cna run m15+ blindfolded. BUt the raiderio police will say…“sir/maam, we need proof you can run it on THIS char.” Carry to 10, work up the 10+ side.
i want blizzard to be nerfed so people have to play the game and level themselves, fixes the economy (mage boosters make the most gold in the game easly because of boosting)
mages that are boosting players are the only ones who can afford the 200 gold black lotuses that are hoarded. itll literally fix all these issues.
“Diminishing returns by mob volume leading to cutoff is a retail thing”
i never said i wanted diminishing returns. I said i want a cap of 5 to 10. this means if you are blizzarding 10 mobs and an 11 one joins in. the 11th one doesnt take damage unless one of the other mobs dies and it takes its place.
solution
People will play the game insted of boosting afk
this will fix the economy and not just let the mages monopolize everything in the game.
people will be less afk in dungeons and more in the actual world playing the game.
theres no reason that blizzard has to be this overpowered of a spell.
This isn’t what will happen, those characters/players will simply not exist. They won’t level normally, they will just not play the game.
we get it your upset that you have to actually play the game.
it will 100 percent improve the game.
Oh I don’t care at all, I’m just explaining the reality of the situation
yeah the reality is. theres people who likes to cheat through life and others who dont.
elon musk pays people to play his character and he acts like its only him. its cheating.
You are the one who is upset lol
your defending botting and boosting. your upset that im stopping you from making gold from an overlooked spell “blizzard”
You don’t want those players on your server
go ahead write us everyone a reason why the spell “blizzard” should be this powerful? go ahead lets hear it.
CC + good damage + AOE(no cap)
the answer is 100 percent it does not have to be this overpowered. its clearly super overpowered and is ruining the economy.
That’s not the point. Point is he is saying that no boosts will force those characters into the world, making the world more alive. But it won’t, because the vast majority of people getting boosted will simply just not play, that is all.
I have no horse in this race, I’m just explaining how it works.
i play the game. i have alts. ive been boosted. if there was no boosting i would simply just dungeon and quest. your literally just defending boosting and cheats.
go ahead and tell us why mages spell “blizzard” should be this op. lets hear it.
then tell us why mages should monopolize everything in the game gold wize because of one spell. go ahead.
Yeah sure. This would still result in a net increase of players in the world.
People take the path of least resistance, not a certain path or nothing.
I’ve never boosted any of my characters, what’s your point?
No CHANGE.
