THE PVP game has been rebooted

[CanyptianFit]

With freeze neutered, the game is bran new. Crazy. Defenses before that were a guaranteed win if first are now almost easy to beat.

Brand new game. Will take time to sort out.

Glad I didn't invest any shards lately.

Wow.

You got the reset right. Except the Prisoner remains a bigger beast than ever. Everything else is shaken up!

I haven't played PVP since the update, but I still contend that the only issue with Prisoner was pairing him with the super-freeze teams (GGS & DM). Since freeze is so low now, you certainly at least get a chance to attack, which is all you really need to start countering. Not the Prisoner isn't powerful, but it shouldn't be instant death anymore. I guess we'll see.

Agree completely. The game is more challenging which is a great thing. I had fully sharded both an AoF and a Sentinel Corrupt Droid recently, so there's a little sting in that, but they're still useful characters and I'm looking forward to the more balanced combat experience.

I feel your pain having both fully sharded too :(


Seems like I said some times ago, days of the far west are over! Great improvement in many places...

Will probably take some time to see full impact of these changes t'll everyone adjust their strategy for new procs & nerf, for now it look good but hard to say since most teams didn't had time to adjust yet...

Talismans overall were obviously broken by the recent update, so I think we'll have to wait until they are working properly to see what happens with PvP strategies. I for one am not going to make any big choices about characters and talismans until that is fixed.

I think they now actually are closer to 12%..
On AI with perfect 1/5 or about it gives 12% of 20% wich isn't much to begin with, now it have same procs as paralysis set... My mummy run both & seldom froze or stun an ennemy at the same rate which is not often, procs used to be through the roof for freeze with a stun from time to time..

Freeze talismans are useless now?
0 freeze in each battles now....

Burning talismans are obviously broken and it seems like other talismans have similar issues. One member reported statistics of his freeze talismans that were way lower than 12 % but completely in line with what you would expect if they were broken in the same way as the burning talismans. So it is likely a bug that affects all or a lot of the talismans.

Don't know for burn since I haven't tried, can't tell for others but my own tests point that my mummy stun rate didn't changed & my freeze rate is now on par with it... Probably look worse since it was triggering all the time before..


*Edit* Although rates seems ok you are right on something not right I've noticed that no AOD attack never freeze anyone pass the first ally.. all apologies that's probably where lie the problem

A bit of whining from me :( not too fund of it.
good thing is I was low on ironite from last week run for eight so I decided not to compete this week.
To stockpile some. Talisman procing has now left me as a sitting duck for passives as my whole defense has been freeze, freeze, stun now and then and then freeze some more :cool:, and take up imunity for CG's and taunters, and voids to remove those shieldings, oh good old times. Now it's time to chase those OP's. A prisoner would be nice. But till then there will probably be 'no passives' arena. That would be sweet.
