Please don't put any pressure on our Sandbox testers to reveal anything...if they do, they risk being removed from the Sandbox and we may not be able replace them which inturn would really hurt us...I've told the Testers that they can say whether they like the changes or not and that they can confirm things that the Devs have already posted publically, but nothing more then that at this point...I don't want to see any of our testers get the boot so they are forced to walk a tight rope...
like what this new tree for commandos that Garvin has been hinting at is all about.

I must say, it is very tempting to know that the docs are in the hands of five commandos that could share them at any time
However, I also appauld your discipline. Your are right to hold back the information. There is no sense of us knowing something early and then compromising your ability to test it later.
However, all hints are welcome
To avoid any initial shock down the road, I am going to let out a CU secret (well not really a secret, but more ofa "what is not in the CU" revelation)...
When TH made the announcement of us getting a new tree in the CU he overshot things a bit farther then what the Programmers had on their gameplan for us...Currently there isn't really a plan to give us a new tree WITHIN the Combat Upgrade but instead, change, shake-up and enhance our current trees as well as revamp some of our weapons a bit (with a new weapon or 2 coming our way possibly)...
What TH SHOULD have said is that, after the Combat Upgrade, if we still neednew tree then it would be taken care of then...but with all the changes/fixes we are getting a new tree may not be needed and may go against some of the things we are getting in the Upgrade...At the time TH made his announcement, it was thought that we would be getting a new Tree with the Upgrade...Then it came up that we might not need one with all the proposed changes coming (and in fact, we may not want one)...
ALL of our Trees are seeing changes...And our weapons will be getting tweaked...So basically our trees now won't be the same as they are post CU...we may see new unarmed specials...we may see new ranged specials...we may see counters...we may see new weapons...we may see more defenses...etc...There is a lot coming...but for now, there isn't any specific plan to give us a new tree...that is coming later IF we still want one...
Of course, as I say this, plans could be changing on the Devs and Programmers part...They haven't told me that they've ruled out giving us a new tree DURING the Combat Upgrade...but it may come down to a time factor...they have 14 Combat Professions to Upgrade and the overall combat scheme to change...
