    November favorite moments and other links!

    Had a wonderful time NPC'ing this event with everyone. I'm not going to go through a breakdown of any individual moments but I felt like this event had a fantastic balance between challenging meaningful battles, great role play including humor and sadness, and a couple of great "oh ****!"...

    Armor

    Hi Dan, I think mostly what we'd like is just clarification on whether or not a change has already been decided, and if a decision has been reached, we should probably turn our attention elsewhere. As one of Denver's playtest coordinators, we have been told that the changes from the previous...

    I need that 0.5 day of XP! :P

    Armor

    The problem is that you can't look at these changes individually, they are all intrinsically tied to each other. Armor values, skills that alter refit time, rituals that enhance armor, spells like shatter that affect armor values, and damage values all must be weighed against one another. When I...

    Armor

    Polare I think this is very relevant and on topic to this post. If owners and ARC are not taking any feedback to armor changes at this point then we need to know that and we can close this thread down, along with any other threads on changes that are not open to modification. There's no point in...

    Armor

    This is the first time that I have heard that the intent of the playtest is to only get feedback on certain changes but not all of them. If that is indeed the intent it should have been made clear to us as playtest coordinators from the outset that there are certain changes that ARC/owners want...

    Armor

    I would go a step further and say that player feedback is even more important during this phase of play testing than owner feedback. I think it's pretty safe to assume that the owners have already formed opinions and provided feedback on the new rules, as they have been involved since before...

    Magic, Elemental, Earth/Chaos Strike

    Presently claws are extremely under powered in the current rules system. We are kidding ourselves if we think that the majority of melee focused characters are not running around with magical indestructible weapons at most chapters no matter how they were obtained (DS, GS, Rits, drops etc)...

    Shatter

    62 points is an outlier I agree, but given the new layering rules and increased armor values I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of players are going to be at their class maximum which means that shatter will do a minimum of 15 points of damage, 25-35 points against fighter types...

    Shatter

    Sorry as I am a bit late to the party here. I have major concerns about the balance of shatter, especially spell delivered shatter in the new rules set, both before and even more so after changes from v 0.8. As has been mentioned previously in the thread, shatter is most effective against new...

    character class roles with the new rules

    Due to the varied nature of encounters it would be very unlikely that a fighter would be able to land 500 hits in 100 minutes, but we are dealing with theoretical maximums. It's just as unlikely that a scholar would land all 162 of their damage spells. The long and the short of it is that...

    Which performance problems and opportunities should the new rules address

    We noticed very similar things in our play tests Daedric. No one has purchased more than 2 or 3 profs/backstabs, and the vast majority of build is sunk into crit/back attack. Especially when you start adding in rituals like empowered warrior and defensive burst there is even less reason to buy...

    character class roles with the new rules

    Just wanted to chime in here. While it wasn't explicitly stated, it seems clear that the intent of the new rules is to prioritize burst damage rather than sustained high damage calls. ARC, the 0wners, or both have decided that at higher levels fighter and rogue sustained damage output is too...

    Which performance problems and opportunities should the new rules address

    To clarify, I have not heard that the intent of the new rules is to allow new players feel useful in higher level encounters. The intent is that the new rules are easier to learn and process for newer players. The fact that lower body totals, higher scaling cost for profs, etc. will reduce...

    Which performance problems and opportunities should the new rules address

    Hi James, I'm one of the Playtest Coordinators for Denver and we had similar questions, especially since we're a lower level chapter with lots of new players, so let me give you a bit of what we know: One of the primary reasons for the new rules change was to eliminate many of the...

    To all who attended the Ducal gathering in August

    Hello Lola, I am certainly agree that we should put all loot from town battles into the treasure sack going forward. I simply recommended the large items only this once since it was an unusual circumstance with both Belswin and Kendrick being unable to attend. Dividing up everything including...

    To all who attended the Ducal gathering in August

    Technically we were retrieving the rod on behalf of its original owner and took nothing else out of the tomb, but that's beside the point. I'm sure no one in house Thorne has ever entered a grave, tomb, crypt, or catacomb and brought anything back out with them, nor incurred the wrath of some...
