Current TTK

you dont balance a game around "the 99%". that is how we get things like our current iteration of resolve, which is terrible.

balance needs to be done around the absolute best performance that can be gotten out of a class. meaning, "the 1%ers" are what the game should be balanced around.

if not, the 1%ers cause more problems by massively exploiting the easy-mode-ness that bioware creates by dumbing things down

This is spot on...

Agree. I think the people who are happy don't post nearly as much as people who are unhappy.

But part of the issue with the 99% is that they are not willing to understand that in a WZ you are limited by time in order to achieve said objectives. In essence, they are "wrong" for thinking TTK is too low. It needs to be low in order for objective based warzones to function.

In a healer free environment, TTK is about where it should be (20-30 globals). Once you put healers in the mix, TTK is actually a bit higher than it needs to be(and even more amplified in Ranked).

As you eluded to earlier, if they adjusted Resolve, the "feel of TTK being too low" would probably vanish.

I agree here with a caveat: the histogram of the skill curve for a class matters, not just what the 1% can do with it.

If all classes are well balanced for the 99th percentile (1% best) but one class is easy mode compared to others for players at the 80th percentile that is a problem too. Not as big a problem as things being unbalanced at the top.

I agree that balancing the top end (what the 99th percentile) can do with the class takes priority over balancing the +- 1 standard deviation players but this does not mean we should ignore the +-1 standard deviation players -- they make up the bulk of the playing population.

Don't like the GW2 TTK... giving all that time, it does not make it very critical that you time and get your rotation right. GW2 feels like it lowers the skill needed to play imo.

The happy people are playing the game haha. Either that or no free time at their job to spend on forums cough UGLYMRJ cough

It would be easier to just do a blanket increase to either Endurance or armor. Also nerfing damage even across the board like that will cause so much QQ'ing by the DPS classes. You would see tons of "I used to hit for X and now my damage is Y... cry cry cry whine whine whine"

I'm having whatever Randle is having. Make it a double.

Given no exterior influence, CDs, medpacks, and reduction adrenals available to each class, that's about right...
