Active (Angry) Update

Okay so right now I am really busy with school and all but I am putting in probably a post a week for the next 2 weeks because of the end of a really large project date coming up. So far I am finally farming Nightshade and Jade Oni for the Black Cat. I finally got the Blue Cat Thug from Baron Mordecai. I am hopefully planning a Celestia Goes Live Contest with amazing treasure cards.

Now I saw the new changes in the TR and I am really disappointed. For one I was really excited for the new aspect and gear the 2 pip wands would add... I think it is really a let down taking this new content away from us.

Second the Wild Bolt I am disappointed, although not greatly, because I enjoyed using it every once in a while in a PvE battle just for a chance of a one hit kill. It takes away 2 pips with doing only 1 damage 17.5% of the time. So you have a chance of hitting with a 1, 10, or 100 about a 52% chance (including fizzles). The chance of 1000 is 17.5%-18% making it only slightly more than normal wild bolt with the chance of losing pips for less than satisfactory attack over 50% of the time fizzling the other 30%. To me this is just a waste and if it goes live then it will be permanently removed from my deck. Congrats to all who think storm is overpowered you have complained enough to give storm another spell that most won't use! Do we take away Ice shields from Ice players because they are powerful in PvP, no, but we take away Storm's advantege because of some complainers.... That is just not right.

Then the also removal of the spells that deduct pips. Again I am not happy. These spells could just be banned from PvP instead of removing them from the game. Those spells would have been really helpful and add a new aspect to the game that I was excited to try, but again because of the precious PvP player conflict then IT MUST GO. That is TOTALLY not fair to base a game which was originally based on PvE on PvP. I think it is not right that PvP now becomes the most important thing in the game. What about the PvE players? Give them something please because I am one of them! We want these cool new things back so we can have something fun and an advantage.

I vote to change it back! Go against PvP! lol!


(AND YES I KNOW THERE ARE PvP PLAYERS THAT DO NOT COMPLAIN AND ARE QUITE NICE BUT THESE ARE BASED ON THE PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN AND ALWAYS GET THEIR WAY IN WIZARD101 THESE DAYS NOT THE GOOD PvP'ers)

  1. I am right with ya bro, i am sick of the pvp players thinking their priorites are #1! pvp is a side aspect of this game. maybe all that shielding has made the forget it. IF YOUR GONNA ACT TOUGH IN YOUR CAMELOT GEAR THEN STOP BEING LITTLE WHINERS! sorry i had to get that out. and wild bolt? did the ice and balance people just whine about since they might have a chance of losing a match? know what i say? Nerf judgement! 95 damage per pip! destroy tower shield!
    i hope you enjoyed my rant!

  2. Yes, thanks for your opinion and support, although I probably did go pretty far and I am very sorry for anyone I offended by the post. It is just how I see things now.

  3. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I am pro changing the Wildbolt spell. KingsIsle probably didn't alter the spell because of PvP. They changed it because, with the new, awesome level 58 gear, It was easy to make Wildbolt a 60% accuracy spell. The point of the spell was that it was a gamble. However, even if you missed, no harm, you kept your traps, blades and pips. Now, they make it so it is much more random. You run the risk of either really good or really bad effects. It lives up to the Storm school's role, power at a price. It is most certainly not the same as changing Tower shield, because there is nothing we can do to make it shield more. Besides, storm still has Leviathan.

    As a side note, I don't really know why they removed Simplify and Elucidate. I'm sure they have their reasons, and I'm sure that they aren't related to PvP. Honestly, people love blaming PvP and those who dislike it.

    In conclusion, buck up. Leviathan is insanely powerful. It isn't like they made every Strom spell a roulette.
