When is the Attacker/Defender Buff nerf actually happening?

[DriftwoodDino]

I’m opening this thread because we were told a while back that the current attacker/defender buff system was going to be nerfed and fixed, but here we are still dealing with the same nonsense. Does anyone actually have a timeline or a dev response on when this is happening?

The state of the game right now is complete chaos for anyone trying to play fairly

- Afk draining or healing, people are literally parking multiple accounts at sites, going AFK, and winning just because the buff makes them unkillable.
- Unfair advantages, attackers have all the leverage. You can have multiple clans stacking against one defender clan, and because of the shared buff, they basically act as allies.
- The buff stays active way too long after someone leaves a site. You shouldn't be able to wipe players across the map with a lingering buff that was meant for a specific zone.
- 0 skill requirement, it’s not about coordination or gear anymore; it’s about who can sit still the longest. PvP is being punished while passivity is rewarded.
How much longer is this going to prolong? The "dismantle alliances" goal has completely backfired it just created bigger alliances and dead PvP.

We need an update. Is there a specific patch date for these?

Concordo completamente com isso. O sistema atual acabou incentivando gameplay passiva e abuso de múltiplas contas, enquanto o PvP real e competitivo foi deixado de lado.

Hoje parece que estratégia, coordenação e habilidade importam menos do que simplesmente ficar AFK acumulando buff. Isso não está saudável para o jogo nem para a comunidade.

Currently in Europe_1, after some clans got kicked, a lot of people are AFK draining or using alt accounts to increase the draining. Those accounts are getting banned left and right, but instead of creating a permanent solution, the developers seem more interested in ruining the gaming experience for normal players. It’s always disappointing to see developers stop caring about the player base and focus only on cyber/supreme/cynergy cores to make some extra money.

Dear rangers,

Please forgive us for taking a little time before we weigh in again on the topic of Dino Storm's endgame in general, and attacker/defender buffs in particular.

We share the view that there are multiple aspects within the current state of the endgame that warrant attention. Rather than putting together a large package of changes whose effects are difficult to break down in hindsight, we prefer to carefully adjust individual aspects and observe the impact of these changes.

The first of these changes concerns the duration of the attacker/defender buffs: effective later today, we halve their runtimes from 30 to 15 seconds. This means that the buffs will expire much more quickly than before once you leave a contested site's perimeter. We're eager to hear about your experiences, especially with the bigger battles you often have on the weekends!

Gostaria de sugerir uma redução no tempo do efeito “Doente de viagem”. Atualmente a duração parece longa e acaba atrapalhando bastante a jogabilidade. @Narokath
