After reading player feedback we are moving towards a system where meaningful improvement to specific characters or classes will sometimes be added to the game in smaller doses. While we realize everyone wants a complete and full class pass for the remaining classes, we are changing direction slightly and bring some balance relief in meaningful but smaller doses so players won't have to wait as long while their favorite class lingers behind.

Pathetic. They may as well delete monks, fighters, clerics and all the other casters except for warlocks since they are it.

I have a friend who really like monks toons and it pains me to see his toon fall behind me with each update. Bunch of incompetents losers.  Angry

At this point I'd be satisfied if they just fixed all the broken shit with monks.

Amen to that. I suspect whatever changes they make to monks to happen when they convert wraps to weapons... so that'll be around 2020.

They should try fixing the combat bugs they introduced first. Where's the hotfix? Oh wait, it doesn't benefit me.

Looked like nobody on the mobos seemed to pick up on that, they are just falling all over themselves thanking Sev for commenting.

I guess they don't want to commit to a timeline because we will butcher them if the timeline slips.  But I can't believe they can't give us more of a road map than what they do. 

Even if it was just an order of handling, without date commitments.

Sev changed his tune only after people who caught it there, and saw it here and started posting about it on the mobos and he was forced to correct.

His initial statement was quite clear. I think this illustrates the value of a place like the Vault in nipping things like that in the bud.

Not sure what your agenda is Techno, seems like your trying awfully hard to score points or something. Which is a bit confusing for me because I'm not aware any beef between us, and I don't have any interest in starting one.

How the fuck can I "score points" over there??

I don't even fucking post there. My DDO Forum account has been banned for years.

I'm reading Sev's post as "class updates will be limited to nonexistent as we reduce staffing further".

I have to admit, that's certainly possible.  Shocked

If only they would stop. Help me out and remind me of something the devs have done that improves the game.

No, fixing or removing a change they made (e.g. Single Window Fighting) doesn't count.

Well, the fourth TWF anim is better now. That makes up for all the other stuff I think...

Does it improve the game? That faster fourth attack, it was significant in comparison to nerfs. It was significant in comparison to boosts other classes got. So was it an improvement, or just fixing so other shitastic changes became less bad?

For reference, I thought of the fix to repeater animation. I'm glad for it, but it didn't improve the game. It un-gimped some broken bullshit that never should have been broken in the first place. Similarly, if they miraculously fix all ladders, the game would be better off. But it would still only raise the game to perform as any reasonable person would expect, who hadn't encountered Turbine before.

But maybe my criticism is too harsh. Let's put Fourth TWF Animation on the list.



Things the devs have done that improved the game

1. Better Fourth TWF Animation
