Okay so lots of people complaining about this update so I feel like this needs to be said because it's a lot deeper than you think and I know this is long but a very good read indeed.
I hear a lot of people saying "its just like retail now, its just like retail now, its just like retail now." Well guess what? Like some others have mentioned DBO DIED and one of those reasons is the horrible balance. So trying to make the balance exactly like the original DBO is just a big huge fail.
Now, that that's covered I wanna show you a time, where DBOG YES DBOG was balanced! (Not perfectly balanced but pretty damn balanced) And that was before masterclass was fixed and added to the game. Namek warriors were tanks, so they had high defense and LP but dealt low dmg. MAs were DPS, so they did high damage and had low LP and defense. Spiritualists were long range DPS/DoT with unique skills, so they had that and low defense. Healers healed and had low DPS, Mighty majins had great buffs with medium-low dmg. And Wonder majins had good stuns with medium dmg. Only thing with those times was we didnt have defense working so tanks sucked but of course now we do but at that time everyone seemed like they had a pretty even chance with everyone.
Thats how the game should be! All of it makes sense right? What a great game to play, wow lots of players must have been doing PvP right? WRONG. There was barely anyone dueling (No rank back then but with this balance who really cares lol dueling was great) and there was barely any english, and the spanish would just gather lots of guildies and own plat. Then master class came...
Now when master class came when everyone was oneshotting everything cause skills dealt from both weapons and still no defense. So much players came back and started Pvping... Literally I think that was the most populated times... When the game was a complete god awful unbalanced mess. And they were saying what people say now when people complained about how things were. "Stop making excuses, get good, stop crying."
The majority of pvpers just don't play this game for balance or whatever, they play for plat and to become the most broken player they can possibly be. Right now you need like 3 sets of armors, 10 accessories, and dogis with stats to compete against classes (well depends on the class Karma really needs just good attack speed weapons and great FOC for most players) that's not balance. So in short, we just won't ever get on an agreement for balance. The balance is in Daneos's hands he just needs to learn more about the game but that will take lots of time and he's too busy trying to fix the game. Just play this game for fun, not to win. Hope this cleared things up for some.
