    No, Enabling the silver sword next frostfall is not enough, it needs to be permanent if it's the best weapon in the game.
    And no, they can't "just disable the silver sword in trials (and gauntlet)"
    Doing so would require entirely new mechanical framework to be put in place, and is probably the most coding-intensive fix to the problem. It would take far longer to code than re-enabling the quest (best solution) or nerfing the sword.

      I believe a mod balance and re enable the quest
      Galvanized is the most op part of the silver sword i personally think nd with that I agree with the original set up I believe the 300 hp in areas is ok
      I think silver sword without galvanized and maybe 200 hp while removing the silver swords bonus when bonded besides it's cells would make it less op or even use the exotic effect of it not being allowed to be bonded
      If they re enable to quest in general without the rest I've mentioned i feel they would actually have to raise the exp needed as it's broken as
      I grinded this sword I'm relatively new and its made everything easy
      Btw love your videos they have been an amazing help hope you get the time to see and read my comment keep up the great work :)

      Eh, they will just nerf it into irrelevance. The company got its money from skins and bounty tokens, they don't need to keep pandering to the folks that put in the work. They will probably throw it on the store to keep the competitive crowd happy and make some money in the process.
      Really pathetic that they can't add one weapon to the game without the competitive crowd pooping themselves for needing to do a little work. No wonder this game has been so stagnant since I left in 2019. I can't say I blame the developers for not trying.

      You need around 7.3 reforges. There are people that can do a reforge in like 45 minutes but that's usually not with any weapon/build.

    I think the questline should just be available every winter. And hopefully it will let you continue were you ended up the previous year so that even people who don't have a lot of time can eventually get it. Waiting 1 year at most shouldn't be a problem since, if you are new to the game it will probably take you a good part of the year to max out slayers path and and get all of your gear powersurged.

    The thing with this video is that I can understand where you’re coming from with this, especially when you mentioned their change to the Skullforge, but at the same time I feel like you’re missing the forest for the trees. You’re viewing the Silver Sword purely through the lens of Trials leaderboards, when the vast majority of the playerbase don’t bother with it, especially since so many of the same people top the leaderboards week after week. A lot of people focus on just playing the game and don’t really care if they’re on some board off in the corner of Ramsgate for a week.

      THANK YOU!!! After working so hard for this weapon I can't believe that people actually want to nerf this weapon after grinding The Silver Sword for weeks. He only cares about people who are trying to get the top spot in the Trials leaderboards most of the casual players don't care about it. It's like you said it is many of the same people on the leaderboard and I can tell you it's nothing special about it. I'm tired of Dauntless nerfing weapons and armor in this PVE game like they did chain blades (After it got reworked), Skullforge, Sword (Before it got reworked) and Discipline are some examples of them nerfing things.

    • @TheMrTrails
      @TheMrTrails  ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Competitions need to be reasonably fair, by definition. If you have a competition in your game, you have to balance things around making that competition fair. Or do what fortnite does, and make the competitive mode have its own rules. Otherwise, it's a problem. With the silver sword being potentially meta for FB Quillshot, Charrogg, Embermane, Phaelanx, Gnasher, Quillshot, and Shrike, that's literally a third of the trials rotation. Most players will at some point care about trials for the top 100 cosmetics at least. And whether or not the vast majority of people don't interact with it is irrelevant. Most people don't play pokemon competitively, yet the entire game is balanced around competitive battling. It might not effect you personally, and you're again presenting your entirely selfish take on this issue, even when my final message of the video is "They shouldn't nerf it, they need to re-enable the quest."

      How is my view selfish? I’m talking about the majority of the playerbase who play the game casually. Look at what happened with games like Overwatch. Blizzard hyper focused on the competitive esports scene to the point of forcing 2-2-2 role queue, completely killing the fun people were having with the game just seeing what kind of shenaningans they could get up to by playing as 6 Torbjorn with turrets everywhere or a bunch of Genjis deflecting everything. I’m not denying a competitive aspect to Dauntless doesn’t exist l, but it alone should not be the lifeblood of the game.

    Let's be fair here, the quest should be reenabled BUT the frostfall crown and extra rewards (aetherhearts, sparks, and rams) get removed but you still get the Silver Sword title and Sword. If anything about this is bad, simply add back the rams and aetherhearts.

  • @TotalRaMpAgE981
    @TotalRaMpAgE981 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I agree with all your points, but while re-enabling the quest is the simplest solution, I don't think it's the best for the game. I chose not to grind for the sword but re-enabling the quest just gets rid of the exclusive event feeling of the quest. I know people that come back to games during events to do limited time things. While it is creating a sense of FOMO, it adds value to those events and gives players a reason to return to the game, which Dauntless is lacking for a good amount of end game players.
    Instead of removing the special feeling of the weapon, there should be others that can compete with it; so a good alternative would be to add weapons with a similar passive and unique effect (I'm guessing that's what makes it good) but with elements relating to the event they're associated with. Doing this makes it so there isn't a long wait between getting trials competitive weapons for players that weren't there and keeps the event feeling of the weapon.
    Or make it an exotic like it should be...

    My idea for a fix.
    Its a special... super... ultra... legendary weapon... just don't allow it to be used in trials... Or don't allow those times to be put on the leaderboards.
    PS: afterthought... If they do make big changes to the silver sword I will probably NEVER trust PL as a developer from the standpoint of a consumer ever again. May sound overdramatic but they put out the rules... they put up a prize... they put forth the tasks... And to me the prize was worth the effort of grinding a solid 5 days of playing no other game than dauntless. I got the prize! WOOPIE!!!!! For then to rug pull me after I went through all of that... How will I ever trust anything they ever do again... any grind prize will look like another potential rug pull... a big middle finger after all that hard work.

    I think the devs shouldn't mind making Silver Sword an all around weapon since we already have the Gifts as a massively grindable repeated seasonal event anyway. Will be greatly disappointed if they choose to even consider nerfing it, I'm quite enjoying the bi-annual meta shift and frankly I think Sword is much more deserving of this spot in the meta than the last few weapons that got powercreeped...

    I agree with your points, just adding some original, different topics to this conversation, as I believe this whole endevor is more meaningful that way.
    - you say Skull Forge, but that only effected 1 Trial, while Tragic Echo dominated a large majority of the weeks and was pretty much untouched.
    - we already had this same topic emerge with Alyra, but actually worse
    ◦ patch note: 1500 (didn't specify if surged/ unsurged)
    ◦ingame description: 1500/ 2000
    ◦actual values ingame: 750/ 1000
    , and then later Ahrelia came forward that week, stating that she made a last minute change, and didn't pay attention that the ingame text was hard coded to say a certain value; they forgot to reflect the changes in the patch notes
    - - which is to say, that I believe the values we ended up with ingame are more telling than the patch notes; it's easier to write some early draft for the patch notes and then forget to change that later (in this case just the patch notes, ingame description matches up).
    also, you know how good the devs are at nerfing things, look at how dominant Molten Edict is, even after it recieving 2 nerfs already... unless they strip away the Boreus UE, it'll be meaningless -- there are only 2 extremes, and no happy medium to be had here in regards to the balance of SS.

    People can wait until the next event to get it, if it was that important to them then they would have made time to get the silver sword. I was level 10 on hammer about lv 4 on everything else with no reforge. Still got it with little issue and had time for family and work.

    I mostly agree with your proposal @TheMrTrails, but I would like to suggest an amendment. They should either re-open the quest and, once accepted, must be completed it in a specific time frame. Or let it open without the time frame, but remove "The Silver Sword" title along with the crown. You mentioned the crown, but the title should also be removed since it's legendary.

    The whole point of limited time means some people will miss out. Everyone won't get one. So in other words no more good "Limited-Time" weapons. If its good it should just be given out like a participation trophy because everyone should have one. Don't make it a "Reward" for a Grind but just make it regular additional content. If Johnny can't make Top 5 in the trial because of SS users then oh well, what does he miss out on cosmetics/bragging rights? Doesn't sound like a very big problem imo. And I'm pretty sure "limited time" means until next winter...

    Whatever solution is chosen, even if that is to do nothing different, they shouldn’t make the players feel like they wasted their time playing their game.
    I haven’t touched games like World of Warcraft with a 20 foot stick after they repeatedly made me feel this way for many many years. And it’s unfortunate because I think they might finally have a decent expansion right now, but I just don’t trust them to not waste my time .

    What if they normalise the sword in trials like all the weapons and armor are so it's not at its full power in the tryhard gamemode.

But whenever I have to run sword for bounties or for balance when playing with freinds. I will use the hypothermica with it bonded to the silver sword. It's just too good. I agree that the only real way to fix it is to either nerf it which I would hate. Or just reactivate the quest.

  • @kilikodagawa5849
    @kilikodagawa5849 ปีที่แล้ว

    🤡🤡🤡🤡 Watched past 8:03. Hear me out. When the Silver Sword was launched, we were told that it would only be acquirable and upgradable during Frostfall. We were also told that even if there are some players who couldn't finish the Silver Sword questline, that it could be finished next Frostfall, so it's a seasonal weapon that was introduced so strong that we'll never see anything like it again.
    On the competitive side of things: Competing at the highest level isn't exclusively about skill, it's about knowledge. Planning which trials to pass on, which to get your 300 Dauntless tokens, and which to really go for a top 100 time is part of that knowledge. Sometimes a newer player is just going to have to settle down and wait while cells are cooking with the Middleman because they burned all of their Aetherdust. The same logic applies to the Silver Sword, in my humble opinion. As annoying as it is, sometimes you just have to wait to get the gear you need.
    It's also entirely within the realm of possibility for that same player to pick up, learn, and become just as proficient with a new weapon for a weapons-based top 100 instead of trying to compete in a Swords dominant trial.

  • @danielpoore8615

    I still say they shouldn’t Nerf it I would prefer if they buffed another weapon so that it can compete obviously not the frost wolf only because then it makes even more broken and neck sonic sent especially for other weapons than just swords, but I would say then, at least make the quest available And definitely rather than the Nerf in the sword since so many people had to go through such a long process and some boo spent their entire early Christmas vacation doing this due to them not having the ability to do it super fast

  • @jameilmcnally9022

    i understand your point about it not being fair to new players that will start after the event already concluded but at the same time it could also be seen as a reward for their loyal playerbase that have been here a long time and were here for the event new players will still have an opportunity to get it next frostfall. maybe another solution would be to periodically make the quest available throughout the year. This quest took up alot of my precious time so the reward should be equal to the amount of effort i put in. I think the most reasonable thing to do is(I hate to say it) probably nerf the silversword and make the title and crown unavailable for everyone else even if quest comes back...i did watch to 8:03🤡🤡

    I can't believe that people are complaining about them putting in too much work and that it shouldn't be nerfed, but it was so easy to get it done in a couple hours. I really think it will need a nerf, bringing back the quest I think would be a last resort and going against what they originally said. I did watch till the end of the vid so no 🤡, and also note I'm talking about endgame players complaining. I would completely understand if a very new player was mad if it got nerfed. Or if they were to bring the quest back they would have to have it take at least 3 times as long and remove the frostfall coin goal (obviously).

  • @johnnyboy1486
    @johnnyboy1486 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Like the video, but my problem is that I realy want the weapon to stay limited time. I think having limited time weapons is realy healthy for the game, and something new and engaging. I just came back for the weapon, because it is limited time. So I think the best solution to the problem would be to exclude limited time weapons from competetive game modes. That way, when more limited time weapons come out the devs don't even have to bother with such a problem again and could make them as powerfull as the silber sword. It just isn't suited for this emergency sitiuation. So I'd say, make the weapon obtaiable untill a framework for excliding weapons form competetive modes has been made.

Warmth it useless.. and yeah maybe that might be an ok compromise....

    Why stop at complaining about a barrier for just one item? Aren’t there a whole bunch of situations where the best potential players won’t necessarily be rewarded for being the best?
    Why do you get to decide how much effort is enough for passing the barrier of entry? You have to grind a whole bunch of gear and cells and reforges, and max out your slayers path over months and months. Where are we going to talk as if having a paragon like reforge system where you gain 5% power here and they are over and over again is not somehow a large barrier to entry?
    Yeah, that’s a real fair barrier to other people trying to compete?
    If anything, the only fair solution would be allowing players to choose any item, and any cell specifically within trials. This would remove the barrier of entry from anything other than player experience and skill, which is the closest you could get to fairness.
    But the vast majority of us really don’t care about leader boards in a game, where running some flavor of the week set up after having grinding months of essentially paragon is how you win.
    If I wanted to play a competitively ranked game, I would probably play something like StarCraft two where itemization isn’t even a factor.
    Dauntless is a game you glide around with your five-year-old in and laugh at your friends getting stomped like fools by Pangars falling over on them.
    As far as I’m concerned, they should make the change I mentioned and continue release over powered quest lines and items, and just have more and more explosions as well as continue looking into developing the game around gliding and hunts a little more, and make everybody have an optional grind there… Whereas there can’t be a grind for trials outside of your time because all of the gear is available from the get go.
    Some people might say that if you have all of that gear available to you and trials, why would you grind it? Well, how much fun is it really to play trials over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over? It’s not. Almost nobody who plays the game gets fulfillment from that. And even fewer people than that are actually doing the work it takes to find out what the flavor of the week/month build is. Then everybody else just copies there rotation, and get up.
