the sad part is this shows how the community filled with jealousy

i hate aurabots/aurastackers btw i dont play them but i dont care about other players if they having fun with their builds


this the first time i see community requesting a nerf and the reason imo is completely jealousy


oh that guy better then me please ggg nerf him :D


what a dumb mindset

Noone is jelaous of Aurabots. NOONE.

The reason people want them nerfed is because this game is focussed HEAVILY on trade. Its basicly more of a "wallstreet simulator" now than it is an arpg.
Aurabots were so bonkers to the point groups were farming The Feared in day 2 of the league ( hardest content available , with the highest returns ).

The market was spammed with feared drops ( shaper bases , synthesized items , elder bases / watcher's eye , bottled faith etc) and made mirrors for the partys abusing it. Its like if you put your money into some apple stock and then 5 billionaires come over and tell everyone that the market is closed for everyone except for them for 10 days while they can trade all they want. After 10 days your apple stock is suddenly worth 1/4 of what you invested , because a lot of people invested in apple stock and the 5 billionaires shorted the shit out of it.

If Aurabots wouldnt triviliaze content to the point where no matter how fast you are solo , you will NEVER be faster than 1 cursebot + 1 aurabot + 3 people with MF gear , noone would demand any kind of nerf.

I personally would like to feel that my time invested into the game is actually worth something. There should be no point in the game where content "it not worth it" except as a party , simply because you will LOSE money in doing it ( 3.14 feared rotas , where you actually lost money with each feared EXCEPT if you did it as a party and got 6x the returns of a solo player )

From the wording ("Reservation Efficiency works by dividing the cost of the Reservation Effect"), you can calculate effective reservation cost by R/E, where E=1+S is reservation efficiency and S is the sum of increases and reductions to reservation efficiency. Your numbers seem to suggest you perhaps think of it as a negative of the old reduced/increased reservation of skills? (We know it isn't that, and wouldn't accomplish what they are trying to do here.)

When S = -80%+-80%, your effective reservation cost would be negative. I'm willing to bet that at S >= -1, you just can't reserve, but the request for clarification seems justified.

If this system resembles cast speed, then -

(Assume base 1 cast/1 sec)

- 100% increased cast speed = 1*(1+1)/1 sec = 2 cast/sec
- 100% reduced cast speed = 1 cast/(1*(1+1)) sec = 1/2 cast/sec
- 300% increased cast speed & 200% reduced cast speed = 1*(1+3)/(1*(1+2)) = 4/3 cast/sec

So,
- 80% reduced reservation = 1 reservation/(1*(1+0.8)) mana = 5/9 reservation/mana
- actual reservation cost for a 50% reservation skill = 50%/(5/9) = 90% mana

GGG showed me how stupid I am by playing their game. I've been collecting items over the years and building a lot of builds, Aurabots. Hah what a stupidity... For GGG, the only thing that matters is that the player buys the support pack, and then goodbye. There are a lot of people in the world, it is quite a good business model. Buy a support package and then get a kick in the butt. And next player and next player...

No respect for people's time, we're just meat with a wallet.
