I especially liked the sum up of the specials, I didn't know so far how people were exploiting corpse-stacking in the geo caves, heck I probably did it myself not knowing how. I hear some have even been banned for it.

I know the DEVs are silent about most things (while their left hands wants to talk, their right hand doesn't want to get burned AGAIN.) Will this combat rebalance everyone talks about include fixes/addressing of our specials?

Did you show TH your compiled data and did he give any hints?

I wish I could say something like "The pistoleer 'love patch' is scheduled for Publish X which should be due in X," but that isnt the case. So far the developers are remaining tight lipped.


I did post the summary of our specials on the Correspondent Discussion forum. There was no developer reply, but that is not uncommon. They usually only come out of hiding to either A) answer a question or B) ask a question. This is pretty often, but it wasn't necessary in this case. Everything in the forum gets read, though. Thunderheart could reply to everything and say "Good job!" and it would make us feel pretty good, but it would be a little silly.


What will likely happen is that at an undisclosed time, details of the Combat Balance will be released. There may be a period where I comment on it behind closed doors before we are allowed to annouce it, or maybe not. I'll tell you what the plan is, Thunderheart will make a big announcement, and it will hit Test Center. I'll run over and test it and report what I find. We'll talk about it, we'll ask for tweaks or any necessary bug fixes, and it will be pushed to Live. At that point, well, we play the game and continue toimprove it.


When will all of this happen? I'll let you know as soon as I can. The day an announcement is made, I'll [probably] be over here talking about it. I read the forumsalmost every single day, with very few exceptions.
