The Current State of Eternias Meta

[Cloutio2x]

The amount of whinging these past two pages has been utterly remarkable.

This isn't a thread to discuss idle musings about territory rules and other non-mechanical aspects of the game.

Xarxes is a strong guy, I get it. He has incredible character development, and this shows in his spells and capabilities. I respect the character. He also had a questionable bulld I guess. Pointing the finger at him and screeching just reeks of simple jealousy and nothing more.

This post isn't targeted at anyone in particular, but God Damn...

Never would I thought I had to say this in a thread about balance discussion, ever.

Can we get back on the topic of balance and the meta? Character development and territory cap rules is for nerds.

Buff me. Nerf my opps.

Stop using the term opps. Right now man. I'm tired of seeing it!

Shut up, you're an opp

shut up

A gentle reminder, if you will, that as a strong player with a signature or two... Reading people's "hot takes" on your character can sometimes be a really shitty thing and demotivates people.

Stick to meta balance topic, guys.

I regret bringing up Xarxes at all, honestly. My point was that he's not a point to argue over. Go to a different thread called "I Hate Xarxes" or whatever.
- love you, Neather. Sorry about all this.

Moving on: The core of the issue is that people who run 3+ invulns/counters/defensives (yes, this includes shields and other sources of DR and deaths door and whatever the fuck you want to consider a defensive option) are substantially stronger than those who don't, and that the capability to run so many defensive spells stifles the way for more to be added. Limiting the number to like, 2, would pave the way for more to be added and existing ones to be rebalanced around this new limitation, creating a more even spread for defensive spells in general.

This is a good take! I feel like moving forward with a mindset like this would promote healthy balance changes to the game. Less invulnerabilities means that people will need to adjust to their abilities better, something that'll inherently make things a bit more 'skillfull'.

I just downvoted your comment.


FAQ
What does this mean?
The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Eternia account has decreased by one.

Why did you do this?
There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:

Rudeness towards other Eternians

Spreading incorrect information,

Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

Am I banned from the Eternia forum??
No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?
Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Eternia PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?
Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Eternia 4: Chronicles of Meranthe. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Eternia is privilege, not a right.
