RIP EAD
It's a main stat in 1.6 and rolls around 3-4% (except masks).
All resist rolls around 2-3%, making it a worthless stat; even if you stack it on everything it will max out at 20%.
+Health is the new +Armor, making it best in slot and basically mandatory for most builds.
WTF MASSIVE. WHAT THE FUCK!
My 58% EAD
I'll wait to try out the mode for myself before calling it out.
Sure, it can become a hot mess of hip firing and endless rolling, but you also have the opportunity to play the objective and try different builds.
Players who concentrate on just mindless killing will realize that they end up losing most of their matches by ignoring the objectives.
It will bring in a mix of all types of players and not be limited to groupie griefers that plague the DZ.
You mean basically everyone in the DZ nowadays?... i dont think they'd care about obj. lol
i think the DZ will still be filled with players going rogue either way, with almost no pve content coming with next update it'll still be regular griefing in the dz.
Oh I thought you'd played it with how positive you spoke of it. DZ PVP since 1.2 or LS PVP, there is no difference other than the so called 'balances' they've tried to introduce which basically means nerf a load of shit which also makes that nerfed shit useless in PVE.
I'll let you make your own mind up when you try it for a bit but pretty much everything above is wishful thinking from what I played.
What would help objective play is removing the PVE aspect but they seem adament to try and please all, 8v8 is fine but when it becomes 8v3 or 4 while players go farm pointless landmarks you have no chance in capturing the objectives. People aren't bothered about objectives and certainly not bothered if they lose, it's all about the kills as with alot PVP games.
The DZ is one of the best parts in the game and 7-9 are IMO the best in terms of design especially with the various levels to play through like the rooftops and UG etc but griefing/4v1 ganking can be avoided almost entirely to the point where I haven't found it a problem to solo in a long while.
The main thing they need to fix is the shitty lag. Players/NPC's teleporting back down the street or disappearing in front of you is currently at it's worst since release.
I've thoroughly enjoyed this game since day 1 (as most who are still around here in this thread), with the god roll SMG's in the early days, hours behind smart cover in 1.3 and with the core mechanics re worked in 1.4 but 1.6 is one of the biggest step backwards I've seen. It's like 1.4 was just a big ploy to win people over to shaft them all over again.
this really, couldnt have said it any better.
who would really care about obj?? lol.
i mean just take a look at the DZ right now. DZ2 checkpoint to me is basically 'dont come here if you dont want to fight rogue players'
half dont care what you came in the DZ to do. they just want to test how badass their new min/max AB build is, so why massive didnt make last stand a full pvp only focused dlc with maybe diff modes and atleast try to reduce dz griefing is just fucking retarded imo.
and its not even coming with anything new in pve except fucking nerfs. my goodness. what are they thinking in there.
lets just hope something magical happens and last stand keeps people in that mode
if not it'll just be the same old rubbish except this time their is actuall nothing to go back to because pve is also benig ruined by this fucking armor and EAD nerf.
