Developer quotes
August 2019 continued class balance tweaking

...and beyond that, we don't have major plans to overhaul every tree in the game. More like make smaller adjustments where needed. All classes have 3+ trees now, and compared to when we started these revisions almost 7 years ago, a LOT of kinds of builds are relatively viable. We'll be taking a closer eye at specifics from there forward. |
October 2018 raid loot overhaul
- Raid Runes added to:
- Raid loot min level change and Tome drop revamp/tier system
- Raid crafting remain unchanged
- New currency: Legendary Souls
March 2017 Bank update to be pulled from U35

7 Sept 2016 Tree trimming and Wolf training

Originally Posted by SteelStar (Contribs • Message • Email • SteelStar) ![]() Some interesting opinions there! Let's break that down: Wolf/Tree build fixes are coming. The timing has less to do with the severity or priority and more to do with the complexity. Yes, there is time to fix Warlock before broken Druid abilities. It takes less time to repair a crack than rebuild an entire wall. Planned Warlock changes are based primarily on data collection and testing. Warlocks aren't the most powerful damage-dealers in the game right now, but neither are Paladins or Barbarians. For that matter, we really haven't been hearing that "Melee players are upset that their OP Paladins and Barbarians aren't miles ahead of all the Casters anymore" at all. Even if we had, it would not be the sole deciding factor. Endgame is not the only measure that counts. The fact that some changes are necessary is not diminished by the fact that other necessary changes have not happened yet.
Hope everyone is having a fine morning. |
