A compromise on the nerfed talismans

[zolaar]

So, I get it.

As soon as I noticed the immense stat INCREASE when upgrading my Fierce tali to 5* (whereas all other talis had a bit of a DECREASE), and I realized that the Lv1 5* values were actually supposed to be the Lv50 5* values, I KNEW it was a bug. Wouldn't last.

But everyone's in an uproar, despite an easily demonstrable data entry error that happened long ago and the OLD devs were too busy/nervous to correct it. Didn't stop me from focusing on the two subtypes in question, but it did temper my reaction when the nerf bat started swinging. Others aren't so forgiving, and it seems the community is divided on the fairness of each solution suggested.

I propose a compromise: Colored Talisman slots shall give an equipped talisman a boost exactly the way Fierce & Overwhelming were boosted: they use the regular LvMax values for Lv1.

As a software developer myself, I've noted how the talis' values are calculated:

BaseValue + PtsPerLevel*CurrentLevel.

Simply set

BoostedBaseValue = NormalBaseValue + PtsPerLevel*LvMax.

Easy peasy.

This has a couple of benefits:
- Some of the 'losses' due to nerf can be recovered
- Makes the colored talisman slots on each character actually _beneficial_ & _helpful_, instead of worthless (or, in most cases, a flat-out hinderance).
- Creates more strategy w/ regards to talisman assignment.

I hope the devs will take this under consideration. I feel it adds to the game in a more meaningful & strategic way than simply buffing all 5* talismans & gives players more interesting choices across the board.

Interesting idea...I'd paste this on the update thread, so someone actually sees this/maybe comment on it. Devs don't seem to be checking other forums regularly.

I like this a lot. MAA2 (before it was recently discontinued) did this and it was nice. Solid idea.

Done. Also posted to Sparton's & Kaz's 'Visitor Messages' on their profile pages (for whatever that is worth?)

It's an honor to have you as a fellov trooper mate(even though i'm not that keen on your blue son ). A genius idea! This would open up endless possibilities of building your characters and teams.

I think that's a great idea! I also thought that these type of talismans would be nerfed sooner or later, so I was kind of expecting it.

really like the idea, seems to be very solid. i hope they will think about it...

What-what-whaaaaaat?!?!

He freezes! He heals! He self-revives! He hits like a ... ok, so he hits like a Toyota Corolla. (very economical vehicles, btw)

i don't even recognize the lvl 1 talismans now. i don't know how to differentiate those talismans with or without hp.

I think they should change their name from nodding frog to nerfing frog. I lost 10k life on my General. Cheese and rice.
