No man, it is not your opinion. I totally get that you would like this game to be challenging. Cool for you if you had a bit of fun you. Really, If it would be optional in the sense of "make it how hard you choose yourself and you can always bail out if you overdid it" i would have loved for this to stay in the game. My hardcore gaming days are over, but more power to you.

Nice words aside, how you state your opinion is what riles people up. Because you comment in the most rude, condescending, and toxic manner I have seen in a long, long time.

Or in other words:

WAT?

Armor and Evasion went out of favor when elemental and physical degens became problematic. Most builds get enough EHP where they can't be one shot, regen or leech it all back so they can ignore pretty much everything.



Syndicates at least pre-nerf forced players to actually use a combination of damage mitigation and avoidance together for once. They were definitely out of sync with the rest of the game, but that's because most of the game is honestly not very hard.

you confuse 2 points.

my liking the syndicate difficulty is just opinion.

the rest went FAR beyond that and was proven with someone who hates me and called me a liar partied with me and witnessing it.

tl;dr - facts are "toxic," calling people a liar/troll/etc is fine.

even after the false accusations were PROVEN false.

lolz

wow, that triple posted.

Red maps syndicates aren't all that bad either. You actually need to pay attention which ones are bad for your build and don't rank them high with all items. And if you do don't run crazy red map mods.

My build has potential 64% all hit damage mitigation when focus and harbinger of focus buff are up (and that's without basalt or pantheon or other reductions) and pretty much max dodge/spell dodge with a quartz as well as some block/spell bloxk. Enfeeble blind and dread banner means they rarely hit me. and I don't get one shot at all while facetanking. However degen can fuck me over because EB. So Im careful around syndicate who can deal big degen. It ain't rocket science

This league provides yet the most ridiculous crafts to counter the power of syndicates yet people crying will nerf them to meaningless status. Safe house fights are a total joke btw

Safe house fights are a joke because you kill the boss before his henchmen port in, there are no ads and the other map crap doesn't distract you.

Its almost like we are so powerful we need to be distracted and receive cheap hits if we want to ever die.

Here's a collective thank you to all those who've come fresh into the various topics about Syndicate and spoke positively of the soon-to-be-nerfed state of it. A lot of new names popping up; it's nice to see that there are a lot more people who didn't shirk away from the challenge than what I initially thought.

Whether or not you've made a post, whether or not you're reading this you know who you are :) (and even though it's very unlikely that I remember your name in the first place :P). So thanks!

i will always remember you, anonymous number with 7s in it...

If you don't like the reputation you've earned for yourself, consider trying to reform yourself.

seriously. i love that somehow, despite all of this, you (collectively) STILL make me out to be the one in the wrong.

those who made false accusations (liar, troll, etc)... that were already proven to be false accusations...

keep throwing stones and seeing ducks whenever it's convenient.

You're the only one who believes you've proven anything. The main issue people have with you--why they only see you as a troll--is you don't actually listen to anyone else, but still insist you're right, even when shown to be wrong (as has been done repeatedly in this thread and others). Enjoy being known as one of the dozen or so regular trolls around here if you don't want to change your ways.
