In order to get maximum enjoyment out of “vertical progression”, a player must be able to see the numerical increase in their effectiveness.

People have been enjoying themselves just fine, and did in other games as well even without any measure of dps.

I believe the post you are quoting is meant to be a sardonic one in regards to the current direction this game appears to be heading in. Do not take it literally.

Why The Stat Cap Is So Important

I have nothing to add really except as a “me too” comment in regards to the original post. I want the developers to know that there are many of us who appreciate a game that has horizontal progression once one reaches “max level”. I bought this game because they promised, advertised, promoted this game as one which had a stat plateau. It is why this is the only game I have ever pre-purchased, and one of the few that I’ve ever payed release day prices for. I wanted to support them in breaking out of the tired old MMO mold.

I feel like the addition of another tier of stats is a bit of bait and switch, if I had known they were going to create a gear grind treadmill with gated content, I don’t know that I would have been as excited for this game pre-launch.

There are a million mmo games out there for people who enjoy the gear hampster wheel. I bought this game because they promised us something different, an MMO for people like me. I was genuinely excited; really. I don’t really get excited about video game releases but this was the exception. Now I feel like they have gone back on their word, and I am disappointed, but too jaded to be surprised.

I was perfectly happy to spend money on gems before all of this happened, now I’m not so sure. I will give them more money when they add the things that I want to seem, as they don’t seem to be adding additional content to the game for folks like me. They could have at least waited for an expansion and added a gear grind as a feature of that, instead of altering the core game.

Cempa.3645, to my knowledge speed buffs do not stack. The highest passive speed buff you can get is 10%.
