Get rid of defensive stat and def penitration | Forums

[MumfordDaHound]

Defense has become a useless stat with Def pen. Put something in its place and just make everyone default to 0. Put something useful there instead, maybe more hit points or something. I'm sure ppl could come up with some good ideas. As it is you just get to -1 to +1% or so. Just dump both and go with zip.

or just get rid of defense pentetration, I mean I cant think of a more backwards stat, it designed to nullify the hard earned advantage of players who have spent time and in some cases money, to get their gear where they want them, I mean I never wanted gear stats in the first place but with a lot of things in this game I just accepted it, then instead of removing gear stats cause everyone at this point has spent so much steel and time to get them, they introduce this half baked mechanic to try to appease everyone,

I mean did I miss anything?

I agree. Defense penetration needs to go. I like the idea of having extra health rather than more defense though. That way you can tell when your attack will kill an enemy because your attack will do a consistent amount of damage, rather than being weaker or stronger depending on their defense stat.

I think the reason they added it was to close the gap between characters with lesser gear compared to characters with 144 gear.

that's exactly why they did it, so after I've worked so hard to get 144's for all my favorite characters and payed all the steel to make it look just how I want, any new player can just slap on some common gear and nullify my earned advantage,

gear score was a mistake never should have been in this game, defense penetration is just a cheap way of saying "yeah we know, but we don't care enough to make any real changes"

It's a way to customise your character a bit more I like gear score the way you can speciliaze a character make him more mine then the next guy and sorry but the game made ur massive advantage to a small one tbf most people don't even buy gear or upgrade to rep 3 I don't mind that a rep one can kill one of my rep 5s must of been more skilled then me any advice to change them to? Or..... All I've seen is more people moaning the devs don't do enough or get rid yet they did that to give new players a chance and not be dragon fodder to anyone 108 or above I think there doing a great job shin and cent need a tad nurf but they've said that will be in 108

I understand why they did it, but it's a waste of gear stats. Make it so you can't put defense on your toon and then dump def pen and add something useful. So this way it's all at zero and no advantage for focusing on 1 character. It's basically duel mode in 4v4 with higher damage in 4v4.
