Regen changes have taken the fun and balance out of wow

[harkonen]

I would like to make a suggestion. Please make HP and mana (especially mana in combat!) regen the same as retail. As it is at the moment there is no challenge to mana conservation at all. In fact my paladin his infinite mana while in combat. to me this is completely stupid. Part of playing an rpg is mana conservation and planning, not to mention collecting gears to give decent regen. It is things like this that make a server appear slightly ridiculous. This completely unbalances pretty much every aspect of the game. It wasnt like this a couple of months ago, so why has it changed? It has made the job of healer completely dull, and unbalances pvp entirely. I think i would speak for most midrate players in that while they like lvling to be a little easier, they also want the basic balancing in official servers to be intact. I really feel very strongly about this. To me it is completely ruining what is otherwise a great server.

Also on a side note i also think that 20x exp is too high. The flow of grinding on 10x rates is ok, but on 20x it is possible to get to 70 in 3 hours. It may as well be an instant 70 server and save all the walking to flightpoints :D just my opinion about the new rates, but that is less important to me than the regen.

Otherwise great job on server, Ive been here on and off since it opened and its great to see the population rising

I play a druid and let me tell you I'm a complete mana hog, I have enough trouble keeping my mana up as it is with out them "lowering rates" as for pple being able to get to 70 in 3 hours, I don't think so it takes considerably longer then that. IMO the rates are as they should be on a mid rate server (in fact they're kinda on the low side) Most mid rate servers i've seen are x40 - x60 low rates were anywere between 0-30. and high rates are 70 and up.

My ret paladin eats mana.

but isnt it still better to play the game properly? i mean boomkin druids are meant to eat through mana so people dont spam moonifire constantly in pvp as a tactic. my resto druid with healing gear is on 100% always. I dont see any advantage to changing the way things like regen work from the official rates, they are balanced that way for a reason. If a class uses alot of mana then it is like that to stop it being completely overpowered. Why not make rage generate faster? energy? why not make us all be able to fly and have 3000 stats, because its supposed to be a balanced game and not messed with. by making changes like this you will always mess up the balance between the classes. last thing i want to see is the server full of cheap moonfire spammers.

I've seen plenty of druids spam moonfire constantly through a fight :p

Oh and my warrior can get from 0 to 100 in 8 sec :p

exactly and it requires no tactics or thought whatsoever

isnt it better to just have things as they are supposed to be?

[LuKeY]

But if things were as they're meant to be we wouldn't be a 20x server. This place was never meant to be a clone of Retail.

My Horde Preist eats mana, in fact he can't manage to heal a tank on his own on the big bosses, but that because he has crap gear. My Ally Priest however rarely runs out of mana, but thats because he has great gear, and I like him like that.

Each to their own I suppose, but I'm happy with the way things are.

how hax !! gief that to my warrior!

Moonfire sucks, it does very little damage for an instant spell. If you can't CC them or somehow get around it (healing) then... wow. Wrath is WAY better.

/agree with Zenith.
