Thread: BE Update?
That, "BE will be in great demand" was refered to a future update. Not one already in effect.
The update they refer to is from a thread from 5 weeks ago, the last time we heard from the Devs. It's the change in the Cloning line that was SUPPOSED to go in this Test Center Patch. Since the BE Dev was off playing EQ2 closed beta, he never got around to finishing Cloning. This Test goes live in a couple weeks. Then its another 3-4 weeks of testing of the next patch.
I made a prediction 5 weeks ago that it would be 2004 before we saw the Cloning line, based on SOE's inability to do anything right the first time. I was being pessimistic then. Now it's looking like I was realistic.
As the guy renovating my house said, "You can have it fast, you can have it good, you can have it cheap. Pick two of these." As we have seen, SOE is going to have it cheap, so its going to be bad, or its going to be slow. And Cloning has been bad and slow so far. At least that contractor returns my calls to tell me why he's late. Can't say the same for SOE.
3 months ago they were asking for command changes - a few go in NOW
since the first nerf-patch they were talking about "creature balance" (for example: they wanted to lower gurreck cl for the AR2 nerf) and baby spawns
which are said to be on the upper side on the list NOW....
