Any Word From The Developers?

[eschiava]

I am wondering if we can expect any further changes, either small balance changes or larger changes to the current system in the near future, and if so, is there a time frame for these changes?

It's not going to affect my staying or going (I'm staying) one way or the other, but I wouldn't mind a little knowledge of what to expect in the future.

Thanks!

The only offical word I got was from a GM. "They are working on it". I take that to mean that there will be some tweaks to combat.

I also don't find the entire combat horribly out of whack. Carnivores seem to be too powerful. Players don't have any defenses against lower level mobs: Dodge, Parry- what happend to those things. I barely do it at all. Carnivores also hunt in packs and they raised the levels of some carnivores making travel that was once annoying, now deadly just to move around certain areas.

Herbabores seem to be pretty good. Some mobs do more damage than others, and might need to be adjusted.

There hasn't been any offical word really what the intent of combat is. Will this be a forced grouping game? Healing is very powerful now. Spells do 10X the healing that they did prepatch. Players that came to Ryzom because it was solo friendly, need to know if that's still possible.

I'm hoping to post patch notes on patch 2 in the very near future but those haven't been supplied yet. I will of course post them as soon as we're given the go ahead.

thank you for the info Cerest

[eschiava]

Yes, thanks cerest!

I was also hoping to find though if there is any word on when/if any further tweaking to the combat system will take place prior to the release of patch 2.

cerest,
All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you! That was quick!

I'll keep hope up til you release the notes then.

Some of these were implemented in a patch today.

Thanks for the info...this IS in DEED good news. I am still chosing to remain possitive until I find it impossible to do so. *puts on rosey glasses and sets down a box of them for other players*

Feel free...take your pair...pass them out. See ya in game.
