Kami capability reduced

Im not happy, at all. Havent been premium for months as ive hardly played, today i bought premium and started using kami and its been tampered with.

Now the damage it does is not the same on surrounding NPC's. Exactly why has BP done this? I'd like a developer to tell me why they have reduced damage, bearing in mind this is not the 1st time BP has done something like this.

Starting to regret wasting the money now, i know you people have changed something, and if you have i want a refund. Admin, you do not have my permission to close this thread until dev has replied. You people are doing yourselves no favours.

 

Its always bin that way direct dmg is 75k and splash dmg gets lowers on npcs depending on how far from the kami detonation is. lvl 3 gear

 

No stringy, this is different. The splash dmg has been reduced, and the direct damage hits sheilds 1st. Ive been watching it, we both been playing for a long time so i know you know what youre talking about, but trust me on this. I just set kami off on BK, hits shields and hardly penetrates to hp.


Id like an official update on what has happened to kami, i know its been changed, the dmg distribution is totally different.

Edit: Has the reduction of kami effectiveness came from the people exploiting LoW gate? Is this a measure that was put in place to make LoW abusers less successful?

 

hello this is same problem i am facing
why in the shop for kami u have radius where it will give same dmg.

 

you can't kami in low gate anymore. but yes, more then a few have said they changed kami damage my guess is they're trying to make gates harder..what a joke. changing the goal posts after the game started is foul.

 

I don't personally have Kami, as I don't have premium. But, noticed that my friend's Kami doesn't do that 75k splash damage. I mean, it does the damage, but distributes on hp/shield, doesn't go straight on hp.

There haven't been any updates/notifications on this, so I am curious too about this.

 

Hi guys,

This issue with kamikaze damage is currently being investigated as to whether this is an intentional change or just a bug.

Sadly i don't think we'll get a response back over the weekend therefore it may be early next week when we get some information on this.

I know they have changed it for a fact. What are they thinking? I buy premium after months of not playing and i wished i hadnt, what message does that send out?

Change kami back to the way it was please, this is ridiculous, Kami is weak now and its more of a hinderance to use for the gain. To think of the amount of uri people need to part with for such small gain, this is unfair, and i didnt spend over 100k uri on my pet for this.

BP logic: Buy a car from BP, BP say they have an updated model so they take the car and give you a push bike.

Are you saying there is an actual issue then? I know for a fact its been changed, but need it to be made official.

Edit: Double post, my bad.

 

ahh i see what ya mean aint used kami yet and no it has nout to do with lowgate bin abused as when they changed lowgate they stop it so you cant use kami in there now

Edit dont feel bad about the change to kami think when they had no kami cool-down and u could solo cubes so easy how many peopel lvled there pet and got lvl 3 gear and payed 4 prem to have the cool-down put into place lol

 

Havent played alot for a couple months so wasnt sure about using it in LoW still. But dude im not letting this go, they added cooldown to kami which i supported as it was being abused in pvp, but to nerf it further would be from my perspective a breach of trust, and i will have my account deleted.

This is purely speculation, and i hope that because we have had no notification of such an update that this is a bug (still have to put up with it for the weekend though) and we get the appropriate compensation.

 

iv notice this, yesterday, iv been in 2-7 and kami several klins, for about 30 min and the only one how was running away, was that one who iv used kami, and i know how to use kami, and something is changed

btw, sry for my english

 

everyone cries that the game is too much p2w, when they nerf a p2w feature everyone cries again.

 

kami isnt a p2w feature, you can easily make uri off Crazy cubes with a pet and kami under lv 10. it makes gates easier to do regardless of level, meaning a non p2w player can use x1 insead of the normal p2w player using x3 in their gates.

 

We've received no information that stated this change was being made, which is why we have reported it to be investigated in order to get some clarification on the issue.

Also as a side note, one thing i can confirm is that support did disable Kamikaze from being used within the LoW gate, as noted in the OA below;

I have to ask, why are we never notified of changes to the game until two or three weeks after they've been made, in the monthly patch notes?

Why can't the development team compound a list of changes that they're going to make, and then release this list when they push the latest client build to live? It would make us a whole lot happier, and it'd reduce the ungodly amount of clutter left on the forums by confused players trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

Every other game you see releases patch notes when they push a new version... Why can't DarkOrbit?

 

Buying prem once a month every month is hardly pay to win, its a pragmatic approach to maintaining your account. Kami is not a pay to win feature by the way, alot of free players have it and i consider myself a free player, cheese is cheesy and your arguement is invalid. Play abit longer and you'll know these things.

 

it is purely useless now
if u say it was exploting the space in low gate u can just ban use in the low map why u putting it on global scale.
it is like this " i got cut in hand and u made a mummy of me".
give a specific medicine for cure of disease just dont put all antibiotic stock , any one will work what a hell of deplyoment team rediculous before u put it live, plz ask for its review here or put it to poll so instead of mail to support of forum u will be having idea in advance.
i hope for good because half month of premium is wasted due to crap programmers of deplyoment tool.
have a good day all.

 

kammi useless now what about cc with that kami its real kamikadze to do it no point to pay for premium and use kami witch is uesless

 

Just because it's allegedly nerfed doesn't make it useless. Just makes it less useful. If you leverage your kami smartly, you can grind for a lot of uri. Just just might have to expend a little more credit ammo in the process. All I buy is prem and occasionally a doubler or rebate depending on my needs. I use kami constantly and even though I do see the reduced effectiveness, still one of the best tools in the game for the free or premium + free player.

 

well my kami works fine as only a few people have said it aint working right im thinking its a bug
