Celtic Heroes

Lvl 55 here.

I found that if anything I got a bit stronger after the update. The energy problem was not as extreme as I expected. Vines does a lot more damage. Though, really I'd be happier if I hunted solo less than I do. It's lonely. I guess the cost went up for specific abilities that I don't use much.

I did notice some problems:

The meditation icon no longer disappears when I attack. I though "Great! I get energy when I attack!" but no. No actual energy accrues when I attack. The icon behavior change seems to be just a bug.

The new male human Druid animations for spell casting particularly heals are really effeminate! It finishes out with a nice little ballerina arm motion, and the cast from chest level seems to lack some masculine massiveness. It is difficult to explain. One wonders if the wrong script is attached to the model. I am trying to keep a manly attitude about this whole thing, but it is challenging.

After looking at the casting motion, it is particularly pronounced from the players' perspective, behind and a little above. The back bends too lithely for a musclebound feller. No comments on my actual strength score, please!

So the verdict is, Beta Druids complained, OTM did not listen....

This gets to another point, druids have always been the "other class" we never seem to get any attention and honestly I guess it is time to park my druid.

Rouges have to be the most complained about class and look at them now... Way over powered.

So the only solution is for us to cry more....

When will Druids become the most popular class?

This is precisely the kind of whinging that ruins games.

Please, oh, please change the laws of physics in my favor! You did it for everyone else! You don't love me! Clearly the universe is UNFAIR if not everyone wants to do what I did. We should all forsake combat skills to become healers. That is the only measure of success if everyone wants to do the same thing.

Some of us just want to help others, and don't care what obstacles are in our way. The physics-du-jour is just the way *things are*. If the energy requirements are higher, then it only makes the quest more noble. Only if it becomes actually impossible to do what we do is it a real problem. In the mean time, it is something of a blessing if healers are not a dime a dozen.

Apologies to those for whom gameplay has actually become impossible...

I don't mean to sound rude but you have no idea the woes that high level druids are going through right now... Energy is impossible to keep up with, even with sigils... I can't even heal through a boss fight without running outta energy when the boss hasn't even gone down 1/4 health... I even find myself running out of energy during basic group leveling...

Druid was already one of the most difficult classes to play and level and now we are at such a disadvantage that many have already given up and moved onto new mains for good reason. Whats gonna become of the game if things don't change and no one plays druids anymore...

Once again sorry to sound rude but take your level 55 to 150+ and then talk to us... Until then keep thinkin that we are just "whining".... #youdontknow #levelupandsee

P.S. i know hash tags dont do anything on forums and i personally never use hash tags but wanted my sarcasm known...

Rouges whined and cried and begged...

And now they get skill hits at 10k

I spent over 1m at lux shop and added 40 points to my heal...

Kind of seems unfair ... Huh

It is always the high level people that get screwed when the physics change, which is why the physics shouldn't be changed. In the mean time, you may need to adapt your tactics and / or bring more druids. I doubt there will ever be no Druids. There will be Druids who don't remember the good-old-days and who have had 95 levels to adapt to brownouts.

There were no sigils in beta so theres no way we could have noticed the sigils problem.

Two things I am going to whine about, BIG time.

First: Energy Usage

http://www.celtic-heroes.com/forum/view ... =4&t=33460

Assuming Bitey is accurate (Which probably is)

At a lv 50 energy usage comparison:

Storm touch: 967 energy cost (EC)versus Ice Shards: 544 energy cost (EC). (This is BS, how can it be almost double of ice shards!)
Spring of life: 1954 EC (Jesus!) Fair enough we wont be doing lv 50 but lv 40 is 1243 energy cost.
Bark: 772 EC, Natures Breath: 967 EC, Natures embrace / touch / abundance: 485 EC. Seriously, how come these support skills are much higher than Ice shards and touch/embrace being only 60 energy lower than ice shards at 544!

Looking at this table makes my heart bleed and blood boil

Second: This is not the first time being brought up.

Guys Listen up,

How about if I tell you guys that energy consumption was addressed but drawn back? So basically, Druids still have the crappy energy consumption that they always had! We need attention towards the energy consumption that Druids need. This is insane in my opinion. I will tell you guys now, if you don't revolt and have the energy comsumption changed, then in the Expansion, if you don't have a minimum of 500 sigils, or even more, you wont survive being a Druid. I am not lying, if you want to see a video of just how much I am not lying right now, look it up. It is by another person in Beta, i don't know exactly the title, but it is crazy how fast we run out of energy! Guys, I tell you now that you will need sigils in this upcoming Update. Good Luck.

+1 don't flame the Druid testers they did an awesome job of making sure EVERYONE was aware of every Druid issue , it's not on the testers to actually make changes .

This was well spotted in advanced by Druid Beta Testers who has apparently fought very hard to convince OTM to lower energy cost. But it was not approved. Why and how is this the case?

How do you expect druids to continue to do what they do best if the energy cost is that ridiculous! SOl costing 1.2k energy is a BIG FAT JOKE especially due to high expectations on us now with death penalty and rage mode. How can storm touch be almost double of ice shards at 967 energy cost. Even worse still, druid beta testers have tried to lower the energy cost but OTM didnt listen to them.

This is all too bloody ridiculous and OTM is simply giving druids a big reason to rage and whine till this is fix.

While this game is ruled by DPS and tanking, it is also equally nothing without us Druids healing.

Now, to start off being civil, I have never been one who trolls or create problems in forums or in Taranis.

However, This whole energy cost and neglecting Druid Beta testers is bloody ridiculous!!! Everyone needs to start making noises as this is probably the only method we have left to getting OTM to make changes to suit us better:

Either we do it here on Druid's forum: Re: Beta Druids - I am DISAPPOINTED!

http://www.celtic-heroes.com/forum/view ... 48&t=33221

or on General discussion: Update almost nerfed druids?!?
