Hey folks,


I'm wondering if there are any balance changes coming before the combat upgrade...I slightly remember a post of novamarine where he said that the devs asked him for the top issues of the carbineer professionbecause they wanted to balance the whole thing a bit before the real combat upgrade makes everything perfekt.... not sure about this one anyway...



I asked TH in the new CU thread, but no answer.... Do you perhaps know if something likethatis coming? TA?



If it isn't, i really can't understand why... it would be so simple.


For example, if they just lowered rifleman speed to 75, boosted carbineer speed to 75, boosted pistoleer speed to 85, lowered swordsman damage to 70%, lowered tka damage to 70% and lowered the damage done by dots to 50%.... in my opinion most problems would be FIXED then, the game would be much more fun to play.

Would this take more then 10 minutes of a developer's time?



...just till the combat upgrade makes "everything perfekt"....

Everyone would be happy of it


But I highly doubt there will be any ground updates before the CU



Want to hear about the old Kudaark? huh?
Vangeance he seeks from those who took away his Loved One
But never an innocent or a helpless one will he harm
For he is a Protector, fearsome and fearless in battle
In the name of Freedom he sways his Justice
The Purifying Flame burns within him, a Kuun-Lan, he is...

Doubtful.


Considering you can apply for the Combat Upgrade Beta right now, odds are it's going to be a Testcenter-like server with frogs and stuff.


Besides, incorporating fixes right now could cause a lot of uproar. It's best to patch it down all at once and say something like: "deal with it".

There will be some fixes before the Combat Upgrade goes LIVE.


But don't expect them to be much, I for one would love to see changes.....just not at the expense of programming time in the CU

I don't know, but I can't imagine why they would do that. Please understand they are not going to spend/waste a bunch of time doing something that will just be changed in the Combat Upgrade....


But when anything new does come out or any changes do happen, a Dev will announce it.

Wish I could be more specific, but this is the best I can do.... Partially from the CU NDA and the Corr NDA, but mostly from the fact that everything is so fluid and changes quickly to respond to how this living and breathing game changes. It is a shame that TH and others got hammered so hard when trying to be upfront and open in communicating with the Community....because I still see what they are doing and you cannot since they got beaten up so badly.


And there is no timeframe on when the CU is going to be LIVE. There is not a "punch list" on things to be fixed/changed before the CU either. I hope everybody understands that SOE realizes they are behind and are releasing everything they can as fast as they can.... Personally I would do things a bit different, but this is a game/hobby to me whereas it is their livelyhood.


Also, think about how the game was portrayed before release and what you had hoped it would be....now compare that to the current state of the game. There should be a pretty LARGE valley between those two points and that shows you the amount of work to be done. And IMO the CU is actually better than all the hype before launch....
