Its a nightmare on console to face a highlander now, and the light penalty do not apply to characters that have FEATS that reduce the cost of any attack or Regen the stamina. Those characters with those feats have the biggest unfair advantage in the game. Raider, Kensei, Tiandi, and now HIGHLANDER spam to their hearts content with repercussions of there actions.
Highlander needs to be nerfed. You cannot punish him at all when you dodge his first light because the 2nd will hit you and if somehow dodge the 2nd and don't have a dodging bash then his Hyper armor heavy will ruin your experience. He is the New spamming character that should be named to Cheeselander. Why can he feint all his moves in offense stance too? Its a giant claymore. Show me someone throwing their back the way he does in game and able to pull it back in real life. On top of that when you try to dodge his dash heavy it still tracks you regardless, why does this track like and undodgable attack? Thats absurd. His lights should be reverted back to how they were and his 2nd heavy after his dash shouldnt track you at all. Shouldnt be able to fake his unblockable Attacks.
Shogoki now needs to have his demon embrace nerfed. Its ridiculous how if you're out of stamina and he used up the last of his stamina to get a portion of his health and ALL his staminia, You're left on the ground with NO STAMINIA, and he punishes you severely for it. It needs to be nerfed to where he only gets health back and no stamina at all. Or he can get his stamina back as well as you but he gains no health. Also I believe only 1 property can affect lights. No light should be able to have 2 at once. Shogoki literally just waits for a red light to hit you with a HYPER ARMOR ENCHANCED LIGHT. Thats ridiculous! Give his lights one or the other, having 2 properties is overpowered in my opinion
Warlord is no exception either. I dont know why he has Superior and enchanced lights. But its ridiculous to go up against when they keep spamming them at you then randomly throwing a HYPER ARMOR HEAVY. Why is his zone Undodgable? it doesn't need to do that. Sun da doesn't neither, no one else can track with there zones so why do these 2 characters do? Warlord already has a undodgable heavy when you go in his full guard. No one i ever played with wish for warlord to be buffed, its absurd.
Nobushi has been more shined upon in this recent rework of light stamina drain and damage. Anyone I face now spams her bleeds constantly. I see her throw out 8 bleeds and still have plenty of stamina to spam more. I believe this Special Lights need to have more stamina drain on them to not be relied on much. Because if she ran out of stamina then she probably will just stand there and watch you bleed out. I also think only one bleed affect should affect you at a time. Its crazy how much can stack on you quickly and kill you too.
Orochi, I like the direction you went with him, an unblockable attack is nice to have to open up people. But I would have preferred a bash, like tozans kick, toned down a bit. He supposed to counter attack right? so give him tozan moveset but not as overpowered as the original.
Now for light damage, literally just make them do under 10dmg or less. Everyone is constantly complaining how they are dying to Lights so make them do less damage. If someone dies to lights that are doing 5dmg every hit, thats on them and no one else. Heavies and deflects would be much more rewarding if you implement this change to all characters. To the Lights that are guaranteed 2/3 or 1/1/3 problem solved for Warden, shaman, orochi and shaolin.
Feats need to be reworked in some ways. Certain passive feats to be specific. Since the new stamina drain is here 2 feats stand out the most on the characters that use them. Tireless gives you the ability to spam whatever you want and have no negative affects afterwards. The feat that reduced the stamina drain as well allows you to throw lights out and not be able to be punished. Increase the time it takes to recover your stamina back, like after an attack you have to wait 3 seconds for it to activate. With Lower stamina cost your stamina generates slower than usual. There is a 3rd feat as well, Rock steady. This feat should not stop you from being wall splated.
For the other feats, you should allow general feats to be chosen among every character except for the special feats for the dlc characters, those stay exclusive to them. If every character had 2nd wind. It gives everyone a chance to heal themselves if they want to. As for the fourth feats involving Catapult, arrow storm, and fire flask. Make them only available to specific faction only, so if you want to use arrow storm on Shinobi you finally can or fireflask on jormungundur. Auto revive can be used for everyone or thick blood to counter bleeding characters.
Armor and perk changes that should be implemented in a game that shows off the armor and weapons you love. Armor and weapons should purely stay as cosmetic, no more should stats be tied to them because you have to rely on rng to get the armor or weapon you desire with the perks on them too. That really resembles gambling in this game and I hate it. Remove all that nonsense and keep it simple, leave them cosmetics. Now for the perks, tie them to unlocking with each rep or rep milestones like rep 0 gives you the first perk available, then rep 3 allows you to equip 2 then rep 5 equip 3. Every Rep unlocks a new perk to choose from. you can also make it where any character can choose from all perks in each area. This would be nice for veteran players who continue to support this game.
I dont want this game to go under, I love this game so much. But The wrong decision do push us veteran players away more and more. Listen to our concerns. I put 4 years into this game ever since the beta for consoles. Made a ton of memories. I want to recommend this game to others but you as the developers still need to fix things in this game. I know everything you all do takes time, but don't wait before its too late.
Any thoughts or opinions are welcomed to this post. I know some people will not approve of what I had to say and I like to see both sides. Say what's on your mind about my post, be it good or bad. I will stand by what I said with no regrets.
