High roller isn’t fun. Squire royals is amazing but shows a problem in the game.
With the addition of squire royals and the game starting to get players back I’m having faith in the game again.
And with this renewed care for the game comes concern and my hoping for its well-being. And I think high roller isn’t fun.
I played squire royal all night and had a blast. Finding gear, strategizing with your team and trying to survive is just amazing.
Felt a little froggy so geared up in full slotted legendarys and hopped into high roller solo.
Ran into a turbo geared sorc. I played a corner well and got the drop on him. I got one swing off with my longsword before he used a spell to push me back, another to boost him up in the air. Before I can react he hits me with a freeze bolt and a fire one to the face. I second wind as I’m at maybe 10% health and he just hits me with another spell and I’m dead. No counter play, no chance to react. Just w keyed and killed me in seconds. All that gemmed gear gone. And his inventory was full of other peoples fantastic gear as well so I was roughly the 3rd person he did it to.
Could I have been better? Sure absolutely. But the window that I had to react was incredibly small. And he really didn’t show skill expression. Just w key and hit me with 4 spells and deleted me.
Over all high roller just feels like a gimmick. Like the least skill and just a straight class/gear check. You build a kit that has some goofy gimmick, w keyed and two tap people. What sucks about this is why then get gear? Why care about anything above blue?
Unfortunately I don’t have a fix. But I want to hear other people’s opinion. Is high roller fine? If so then why is squire royal bringing people back? And if the turbo gear of high roller is a problem how can it be fixed to be more fun and skillful rather than just a stat check?
