Your worst suggestions. "remove 90% of the patch" most of them are fine lol. And add depth to melee, theres 100 spells but im supposed to have 1 ability? yeah right...

Most of them rn are weak if anything. Quit listening to veterans that wanna have thier 30 minute duels, vast majority of people like abiltiies.
Bow abilities only usable on foot is a good one, no brainer tbh, idk why they buffed MA to be litearlly exact same dmg as FA, imagine if MM could cast shock on mount in 1 second and also be able to rotate while doing so... So stupid.

Bow abilities on foot yes, otherwise weapon abilities are very good right now. The only issue with shared abilities is that Alvarins use them the best bar none because the 8-second window on defensives is more than enough time for them to full reset, which means they can turn that 8 second into into as long of a window as they need to reset.

I agree. Armor pen with 2 free adrenaline is what makes the bow abilities broken.

I watch a video yesterday where a stout veela hit a stout thursar four times with a bow before he even got close to the elf. The thursar was at 40% health. Zero point to play anything not elf.

All roads lead to Rome.

Just nerf Alvarins already literally every balance topic I see can be fixed by nerfing them SV is taking years. They were op when they buffed them and now its actively the biggest issue in the game, gameplay related of course.

If they nerfed them even Myrland could have many players, if they dont nerf them Sarducca 100% flops. Mmorpg cant work woth 0 variety especially if ppl are gonna pick the other races at launch. Like if you only had Alvarins as a race and no other races and you used your dev time elsewhere and balanced around that itd be fine if we had many Alvarin build options. But the fact that there is 3 other races means you did waste dev time on 3 races that are cureently nothing but a bait for someone to pick them and then quit the game because Alvarins dmeolish them and ther eis 0 counterplay or gameplay mechanics at all theres no interaction even to answer a kiting Alvarin. They outstam you even if they make all mistakes, they obviously outspeed you and they 4 shot you man. I played League and For Honor these past few weeks, bro if I get on a ranged fast character as a bruiser they instadie thats how the game is balanced. Theres also CC and gap closers AND OBJECTIVES AND THEY DO LESS % DMG PER HIT ON YOU LOL. Playing against a Vayne top as a bruiser is a blessing compared to playing vs Alvarin as non Alvarin, and yes games dont need to be carbon copies to be compared its the same mechanics playing out in a different style, one game has balance the other one doesnt. Same with Dark and Darker CC + more dangerous mobs + way tighter corners everywhere and doors, same with for Honor you cant just have a faster character and run plus theres objectives so you can hold. Obviously Wow and Albion and other mmorpgs have variety especially these days tho I didnt play many mmorpgs, Albion also has many great mechanics I mean all games I played have majestic balance compared to this garbage.

I cant think of a single game where there is just one race or class or whatever being this dominant and undealable with. Its ruining an mmorpg it cant work period. Truth is they should have listened to my every balance take from the beggining and wed be in a very popular game, but nah lets ruin variety and do democratic voting on balance lol. They again did a poll "Hey Alvarins, are Alvarins op?"... How about you pull those stats you lie about and look at them.
