New Perks System | Forums

[Ezzeldin1992]

I wanted to say my opinion about this new perks system coming out this October.
This system is a complete disaster for so many reasons
1- it negates the whole calculation and improvising in the game using your own gear stats and hero stats
2- it doesn't give the player any more options as the devs said it actually gives less, the current system makes me choose and balance 18 stats that I have all of them while the new system gives me only 7 perks that I am obliged to scavenge 3 of them at most that I am obliged to choose 2 of the lower perks and 1 of the higher perks!!!!!!!!!!!!
3- it completely destroys my progression for my already maxed out heroes and I remember season 2 when the gear stats where changed the newly ones were useless at the beginning for my hero and I had to spend more steel on my already maxed out hero to get the right stats, back then I had only one main and now I have 7!!!!!
4- it doesn't give the player any reason to max out his hero and reach the higher reps and leaving the only reason to the cosmetics and gear looks
5- the devs didn't give much info about the perks for each hero to make us see the whole picture

I think the devs have gone so far in comforting the new players which is not guaranteed instead of their devout players who kept playing the game since the release because the new players shout more than they fight. Yet if the new system is inevitable I suggest that the player should be able to choose the perks he wants for his already maxed out character with the same obligations and rules you put for the perks system so that I can choose the perks that suits me most rather than grinding again, or give the player a reasonable amount of steel and crates to grind for his characters but it should be calculated by the same amount a player spent since the launch of the legendary gear (season 3 or season 4) to make it easier for him to scavenge the right gear.

When season 8 drops and they change the gear this game is gonna be even more of a gank fest, if we don't have revenge gain/attack or exhaustion recovery how are we going to survive ganking. Well at least they are adding a pve mode so I can escape the ganking meta. I just don't get it ganking is gonna be so bad most of the new players will quit the game in days. Rip for honor

I don't honestly think that the game will die as I am sure that they will add perks for revenge, but the thing is they made the new system with no trade-offs or no cost at all.
for example one of my mains is a centurion (rep 24, 180 refined 2 gear), the centurion has 160 stamina points with the lowest stamina cost for attacks and largest stamina regen, some high tier gear makes the stamina cost, exhaustion recovery and stamina regen so low that you'll need to think twice before making a stupid move, when the marching fire drops I can choose all the powerful perks that match style without worrying about anything towards my hero, now think about this for all the assassins heroes they will be faster and more punishing than ever and the low class characters will be even weaker because the gap between high class heroes and low class heroes will be even bigger, not to mention of course that you'll need to grind all your mains again to get them the right perks.

All that because they wanted the casual players and new players to feel that the game is so easy or at least casual-friendly.
