Return of Reckoning

Inefficiencies with this team are because there are two developers working on it total - dalen and MaxHayman. If you spend 3 months learning the codebase and a developer has to take 8 hours of their volunteer time training you per week, that's effectively 96 hours they could recoup in the period of...

So skill revamp Will not happen in 2023? Thats bad news I will say it for Secrets before Secrets can say it. Apply to join the team and maybe will go faster. The concept of more developers/staff = faster products is flawed. As team sizes grow inefficiencies also grow. You also have a transition per...

So skill revamp Will not happen in 2023? Thats bad news A skill revamp (in the sense that you're thinking of) has never been planned. That would change way too much of the game in a way that would instantly make everyone uncomfortable playing the game. When I was on the team, the others did a numbe...

That isn't going to be the purpose of the skill rewrite.

That is a systems rewrite - meaning that it will be easier for devs to make changes in the future, not make immediate balance changes with said patch.

I don't think we need a 2:2:2 setup in every SC, but an SC shouldn't start without a healer and a tank on both sides. RDPS need limited in the queue to only fill so many spots on both sides. It should take longer to queue as an RDPS, but that's a needed evil with how many people play RDPS right now....

I suggested this several months ago. Solid idea.

Wanted to also say thanks for putting this thread together. :) We spent a lot of time last year building out new tutorial quests, adding the Renown milestones from 10-80, and revamping T1 influence, all aimed at improving the new player experience, so the results to the 7th question, especially, we...

To be clear I think their current development plan is to stack the RoR specific changes on top of 1.4.8's baseline ability data. It's a consistent baseline for making sure the client data works properly, and then RoR's conditionals and changes can be added on once they're sure the data works. Change...

no

-snip- Thank you for providing that reasoning. That's much better and reasonable than 'god im glad you're not involved with the team', and I retract my brainlet statement with regards to you. I appreciate you being passionate. If I had to balance the game by nerfing classes - gunpoint and told to b...
