I know its nice they fixed our AoE and gave us specials and all but I think we're all past that initial "OOOH wow" phase.

So I think our next question is When? When are they going to up their damage. Or are they at all?

no eta, we were suppoused to see tweaks and changes in on TC2, but seeing that closed down and pub 24 is now on live, it might be a while. I have a feeling they're still working on it as:

1) It was the last thing Helios was working on...if nothing has come, means he's still working on it

2) Seemed to be only a part of more things to come...

Now, if you're pessmistic, you wont believe this...but I am always the optimist (mostly)

Speaking as I do with a mind totally uncluttered by facts...

I had a pet theory on why our specials are so poor. Perhaps SOE, having finally broken the code to make AOE work, could not so easily undo their minor triumph to switch the thing back off again for our specials. Rather than have us shooting and flaming hells bells out of all and sundry the damage multiplier was nerfed to keep us to a sane level of damage (I am assuming different Devs worked on SL).

Now, to test this theory one must try one of our specials on multiple targets and see if the mobs other than that targetted takes the same (percentage adjusted) damage.

As I say, a mind uncluttered by facts. This is probably all baloney with the correct explanation that the Devs couldn't balance a weeble.

If they Change (LOWER) the Warm-Up timer on the Specials... i will go back to being a M.Smugg/ M.Comm.... i was going to go M.Smugg/M.BH.... but since i think that they (NERFED) the BH's loot system, i may go back

Actually, there is evidence against that. A sl special named "called shot" is doing really insane damage (1.1k after armor on an MDEF), with no warm-up or cooldown timer. Sounds like the code was messed up.

SHHHHHHHHHHHH! The devs might hear!

'Foolish boy. Don't you know anything about Fantasia? It's the world of human fantasy. Every part, every creature of it, is a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind. Therefor, it has no boundaries.'
'But why is Fantasia dying then?'
'Because people have begun to loose their hopes and forget their dreams. So the nothing grows stronger. It's the emptiness that's left. It's like a despair, destroying this world. And I have been trying to help it.'
'But why?'

I'm sure you can't say anything much, but for point two--is it happy WS kinda 'more things to come'?
