-Perfect summary here: "It is my feedback, doesn't mean you have to like it or accept it; just as your ideas don't always have to be liked or accepted"
- I think you are right, it all got a bit too much text in my head.never questioned your freedom of thought. It was feedback, plain and simple. Perhaps too critical at times (I address that below), but certainly nothing requiring this sort of overreaction to. I don't think you ever replied to me until this post, so not sure what that is all about. I think you are mish-mashing other earlier responses with mine.
-And so far it would look to a few people that if it is "out of the blue, it is interferring with the flow of more of the same or lets go back to the past in the future, please. I was told 3 times if not more in this thread that i do not conceive of burglar class/ role / image so on and so forth in the right way. And I was like "I hope you really don't know what I am thinking, because getting a cup of tea, is all that is on my mind right now".Some of your ideas seemed out of the blue to me. That being said, you dont have to consider my feedback if you dont want to. Maybe look a little closer and see that I was trying to get a sense of where you were at with your burglar.
As I said, may have mixed things up! Sorry.Philosophical personal attacks? Really? It was a few critiques, some of which I had a strong opinions related to tangent topics. It seems as though you're insisting on there having been insults in my post where there weren't any. My post was not barring you from "freedom of thought" or had any mention of that... Again, it could just be a mix-up of a response that you thought was mine, I didn't see it as insulting your philosophy or person.
Hey, i don't post on ANY forums for years, then this game draws me into forum here now guess the new expansion did it. I can be overly removed from the aggressive "flow" of how things are, but i believe it is a good positive thing. I do try to be calm, just as in "always" even when i post in forums anywhereHave you ever seen these forums as calm? Take a look at the PvMP forums, and let me know. Those threads are toxic. I thought my post was rather harmless, all things considered. Any time someone suggests gameplay changes like this, you're going to get opinions, irregardless of whether you want them. I shared mine, doesn't mean you have to agree with it.
Hey, hey, it's alright to assume, you can ask, but no offence in assuming I do set up attacks and I did just melee say in WP helping some one who became a friend by almost "tanking" (they did not have too much gear / morale) I do apreciate Blue line a lot as well and not for bob and weave but for the gambles. However red line seems to be just "go anywhere" type of thing and i legacied everything in it.Thank you for clarifying. Sometimes intentions get lost in long posts (my own included).
I think that part of the misunderstanding between us, is that you might be approaching burglar as a purely DPS class, perhaps, trying to treat it like other rogues you have played from different games? I don't know. I will say that LotRO's burglar is a lot of simultaneous CC to set up your DPS. If you dont have positional, for instance, that's at least a 25% difference in damage right there (even more if you have the legacy). These are caveats that are so embedded in skill descriptions, it's easy to miss them. With champion, you just stroll into an enemy camp and shing-a-ling away. Same goes for hunter... Pew! pew! .
Well, I kinda do? hehe and there is a sweet spot when i can be effective, NPCes that do not mit too much have right amount of morale, you know or a boss that can not hit through my armor pretty much. These things after a long climb are fun. I did get 5 exp level on Champ in an hour (I know because i stopped when the exp boost run out) even with exp boost it took me like 3 hours on the Burglar to get same exp in same spot. Does not make me enjoy my main class less, but it does not make it any easier or faster...I was not implying that you wanted ranged attacks, rather, I was critiquing (I'll admit, somewhat excessively) the fact you compared in several other posts that you couldn't kill things as quickly as your champ. This implied, to me, that you want to kill as-fast-as an AoE class does, or burglars don't have a melee skill like Pen Shot with no cooldown, doing a lot of damage. I've already given my opinion on hunter, so I'll spare that spiel. Leastways, thats how I read it.
It all really as it is and there is never a word of actual frustration associated with anything in my case. Just bad typing because i do want to explain a few things, may come across as short too, which is unintended.Some of my strong opinions about the current state of hunters found their way into my post, so I am sorry if you felt they were "philosophical attacks" against you (to be clear: they weren't) . The Burglar class "is what it is".
It was the person that posted before and after your reply, they used your long post as a degree of communal regection of my ideas. To them your post did justify their opinion, which is fine. So, I ended up congratulating it all. There was some other post telling me to play some other class if I want to lead raids, you know. I never had desire to lead raids actually, just not my style, I cook too much. I like to drop the cooking and run out of the Shire and go like "Sign me up++++ I need this raid"I never said to reroll. That's a blantant distortion of my response. It's fine that you desire more of one mechanic or another. My response was given from my perspective about why I did or did not agree with your ideas. Other forum members might have given a negative vibe in their respective posts, but my response was not one of those. Again, sorry if you felt insulted — that was not at all my intention. Half of my post was trying to understand why you wanted the ideas you listed.
-This is from some other game here, I am really used to be able to stay hidden / sneak around at nearly all times. I miss it.It appears I misread the touch and go part, my bad.
HIPS has its roots as a survival skill, not as an offensive one. It's just how the skill works.
NOW we are talking. You know that other game gave me stelth after every killshot we called it chain BS(back stab) because back stab can only be done out of stealth. There were long times when i did not have the Coupe de Grace and it took me a while using it to realize that I live it and used a version of it in 1999. I was slow because I was a LOTRO resident for a while then and forgot "Kingdom of Drakkar" fun... So, mechanics is all there and I think it does make sense...**** EDIT: I'm assuming you like Coupe de Grace? Not that this is a bad thing, it can be useful in my opinion, for sure. As in, the auto-stealth mechanic after using it? Having reread what you wrote, I think that's the idea you were trying to suggest? Correct me if I'm wrong here... Just trying to get a better sense...
-Hey, thank you for that!I'm not "afraid of change" as you insinuate. I was saying these changes didn't make sense — coming from my perspective— to implement with Burglar's current situation. I never claimed to be the best burglar in the game, or an all-knowing burglar god. Was just offering my two-pence.
No worries, nothing is broken :PThe fast pace can be difficult at times to keep up with. I agree with that. However, as I've said before, and you're already aware of, each class plays differently. Burglars are not the fast-paced, mindlessly-kill everything-in-sight kind of class. If you're looking for that sort of gameplay experience, LotRO forces you to change classes to reap the benefits of different styles, rather than adapt a class to however you desire. Other games might have systems that are more personalized, I frankly dont know. But, like it or not, this setup is unlikely to change (class changes in general are few and far between, unless its a gamebreaking bug or exploit). It just is what it is. Sorry to break it to you.
-Thanks, I may go back to this, i need to get some more firm opinions on legacies, like crit rating of about +1400 on a surprise strike on the tools, there is a post elsewhere and that person said they love it. And whenever i see a hard number and not a % I feel that it is too limiting and I could just swap it oout for sneak run speed.I'm glad that you like burglar... Quite honestly, I'm trying to be helpful in my posts. I don't like forum nastiness any more than you do. I'm not one of those "keyboard warrior" types. Perhaps there is a class question or tactic I can try to answer that will improve your damage? Worth a shot. Just trying to help.
[QUOTEI dont recall asking for a nerf? I'm confused by this assertion. I said burglars were fine as is... Also, being #4 in damage? I never talked about that...[/QUOTE] -Was not you. I got lazy and threw everything into one post as I said, if you look up the thread you will see who said what. Thank you for writing at length, showing you care and as a result allowing me to treat you reply seriously.
Breath takes place as long as we are alive even when we sleep, on it's own, i just watch it go in and out, sometimes. No need to "take it". But I know what you mean. Cheers~Sigh... I will reiterate that I was not making a personal attack, so just take a deep breath please.
