Stun,mez,root

[shermhead]

Sooo am I the only one that thinks thats its stupid that a sorc can keep you in 40 sec sleep forever?

Why dont they do like every other MMO and only allow stun,mez,root effects to only be done once every 5 minutes or so?

You mean diminishing returns? Cause right now as a disciple, if im a threat, i can be mezzed forever. Gotta love those unintended features. Not only can i be slept forever, but by lvl 20's at that. Since they have no problem abusing it, they think they have a hold over me and can push me around. It happens alot and im getting tired of it. Only thing i can do against it, is wait for a resist (which against a lvl 20, happens.... once every 20 casts maybe) or do /stuck yes. My patience with this game is quickly dropping. Especially as a disciple and how we are neglected by the devs.

I think how it works in other MMO's is that you can only root/mez/sleep/stun once per "combat session" or each consecutive time used the effectiveness was reduced. meaning that when combat times out you can root again etc.

Simple fact that sorcs can sleep, nuke, sleep, nuke, eat etc and take out a whole group alone of they coordinate right is just clearly broken.

I wonder how long my 80 sec root lasts in pvp...

Most crowd controls seems totally unbalanced. Just the fact that someone could mez/sleep/stun someone for 20 h in a row is freaking ridicolous.

I dont see how they have not noted this issue yet and fixed it, there are several of easy ways of doing so.

I have to say in appreciation of how overpowered this ability could be in pvp I don't personally use it unless I absolutely have to. That said of course not everyone is going to have as noble a standpoint as me...which is obvious from the OP's moan.

If another class had this i'd be crying nerf too though...

But then aren't there a hundred other issues we could go on about with almost every other class? I could find at least one thing to moan about with other offensive casters such as being mez locked nearly to death by a psi 1 level below me a few weeks ago....the battle lasted what seemed like a torturous eternity as he kept me pinned down unable to move, my health slowly being whittled away. Luckily I resisted one, colour sprayed him and ported out...but otherwise it would have been exactly the same as what you're saying, plus the fact i'd have died!!! At least sleep doesnt damage you!

This fix is easy unlike pet, levitation, and, maybe paladin FOV.

I dont mind if a cast sleeps/mezes/timetrick etc me but, I do mind if they make me their toy for as long as they want because of infinite time they are able to keep me asleep, timetricked etc. It is simply not aligned with the rest of the MMO's because they either figured it out or didnt make the mistake in the first place.

For now everytime that happens until its changes I would suggest /petition and /stuck yes

Look.... CC abilities have been and still are the bane of the MMO industry. These are the hardest abilities to balance. We are talking about game stoping spells dont forget. I can hop on my level 20 sorc and perma mez a level 50 all day untill server restart heh. In order for these abilities to work in a correct fashion the resist tables need to be fixed among many other things. At the pace we are getting from Sigil atm they seam to be very spread out. They are making broad improvements to alot of the game at a time. Us PVPers are used to companies making improvements to key elements and leaving the rest for later. This realy bugs me personally but I knew going in that this game was going to be fixed/balanced for pve first.

Hope and pray Sigil does something drastic over this summer. Anyone that has followed AO and knows who is running the show on the AOC team will tell you these guys at Funcom are idiots. They want to be the first major title to tie the console and PC gamers together. How good do you think the game will be when it goes live on console and console gamers are the majority for the title?

Future games that merge console and pc on a MMO's enviroment will release with voice chat, support for either a usb-keyboard or a programable mini-keyboard.

Is that easy. I already see mini-keyboards for powergamers on the mall. I doubt console makers will miss that oportunity..
