General Discussion - Chris confirms to go through mid: Scion or bust - Forum

Why are people so insecure about their builds? I really think this is exciting, making builds that just went EVERYWHERE was to easy and everything ended up looking the same. The addition (read: ADDITION) of 30 more passive nodes that are more specialized is great. We need more passive nodes that are really really good so that we do not feel forced to go across the passive skill tree. I see this as a positive step in the right direction and as a way of making the class choice matter. Why have classes if they all look the same? twitch.tv/nugiyen (Live almost everyday from 15.00 +1 GMT) follow @nugiyen on twitter www.youtube.com/nugiyen	Posted by nugiyen#7787 on Oct 10, 2013, 3:00:26 AM Quote this Post

Since I'm not able to see the tree I can only hope and trust Chris is right about this, but at face value this is disappointing news.	Posted by Bunnu#1083 on Oct 10, 2013, 3:02:11 AM Quote this Post

The response so far has been to close that way. I'm not impressed, honestly -- yes, it means more class definition, but it's made the Skillgrimage that much more of a hassle. Skillgrimages are cool -- sacrifices of your nearby offerings to trek across the Skilldrasil to reach that key passive. The middle highways made that possible. Without them, I think we can expect almost a doubling in passive node cost to traverse one side of the tree to the other. Their absence fragments the tree such that I foresee only two things: 1) Homogenisation of class identity 2) An overabundance of Scions Neither seem all that good to me. 1. Skillgrimage is a fucking cool word. 2. The Shadow really, really needs more mana nodes. 3. My version of the center Note that passages through the middle are possible, but they all tell the player "hey, you could have made this build as a Scion." So no class would ever be better than Scion at cross-tree stuff, but you could sometimes pick different classes for aesthetic reasons, so it's not a non-stop Nicole Kidman fest. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

Not surprising to learn that the days of people being to make whatever they wanted with any class are going out the window. It has been trending that way. All hail Path of Scions.

So all that time spent carefully balancing the tree is now being thrown away? Kind of odd timing, but whatever suits them I guess.	Posted by MonstaMunch#6519 on Oct 10, 2013, 3:44:04 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post
