You can't use momentum because you can't use freedom (un-bind) without wasting it. You also can't use hurricane without wasting momentum (or any ability, but mainly those matter)
Nice comp hood btw Irish

Momentum is a viable ability to use, even more so now that it uses basics from time to time to deal a bit more damage. We aren't going to exclude you from floors because you have trouble with the system nor are we going to say that it is something you mustn't use so by all means use it.
but having said that, all combat content from this point on will either partially or heavily rely on the diversity of abilities so it is something that is worth learning. Dungeoneering is an ample testing ground with it incorporating a bit of everything with no chance of losing bank while you practice so have some fun playing around with it

"nor are we going to say that it is something you mustn't use so by all means use it."
Gotta love how accurate Buff's prediction was.
This fc used to pride itself on efficiency and quality floors that were enjoyable because people knew what they were doing. That's long gone. In the last few weeks of the live game, I've seen:
- People running around in full robes without even a melee weapon, maging everything including rangers because they didn't have a different style. As if that wasn't bad enough, some had an arrows bind so the crafted all the runes...
- People running around in ridiculous amounts of armor, including even a kiteshield, while completely neglecting offense.
- People in skiller roles leaving all items, even door pots at base instead of bringing the stuff to gt.
- People looking down on others when they open their gated door, or do their path, or anticipate gt movement, etc.
- People backing out of floors for weird or no reasons.
And what else, I'm probably missing a bunch but didn't keep a list so I may edit them in later on if I feel like doing that.
The point is, I'm getting fed up with the constant trend of this fc dropping in quality. Although more things have contributed, I see one clear point where things started to go wrong. When a precedent was set, which a small group eagerly took advantage off. This mistake is still long overdue on correcting.
I am actually frightened what will happen when EOC hits. I don't mean the initial confusion, but once things are clear. Are the generals finally going to take this update as an opportunity to re-establish the control over the fc they've lost long ago? Are we returning to quality?
Or will we continue on the road of ignoring requirements, guaranteed trial passes, half the fc being ranked keyers, efficiency being looked down upon, advice being ignored or even scoffed at, etc ? I really hope not.
I don't want to leave, but I dg for fun too. And in a lot of floors, I'm not having fun anymore.

Liz, we aren't and never will be an instant floor fc. We are more the type of fc where you either get on a team that continues on for several floors or the type where you do something else while waiting for a floor. We know this doesn't meet everyone's wishes but it's just how it is. We aren't going to get any bigger, ever. For people who want constant floors they will have to look somewhere else in between dg4fun floors. And yes, if you sit in the dung lobby you will see many of the current teams continuing on. That's how we do it here. We give priority to the current team. We don't disband and reform after every floor.
Also, if you're talking about my group, usually we aren't doing dg4fun floors. We're just in the dg4fun world. That's why we don't advertise in the fc
.
People make friends in dg4fun and then they want to floor with those friends. I don't think it's fair to say that they must always form only in the fc. There are easy ways to get around that too. Just tell your friends that you're about to form and then they answer first. If someone makes close friends I think it's ok to let them play together. I know it's much more enjoyable.
