NGD is happy with current balance?

Can we assume from this that NGD is done with balance updates for now?

If so, this is highly disappointing news.

And why does that makes you think this way?

There are still Balance Stages to do, but due to other factors such as structures (castles, bridges, etc.) remodeling, events and so on; we can't just upload it all in one single update.

Just wait

What happened to "We plan to have balance updates every month or even maybe every 2 weeks"? This is not how you spell every month, you are taaaardy!! :P

This! Also would like to see some work done on bugs which render some classes useless in their roles (i.e. support knights/broken auras). A realistic roadmap would be nice! We are all aware how small the NGD team is, and I think it was wishful thinking to have balance updates each month, but setting a roadmap with dates that can actually be achieved will allow you to work towards your goals.

Could you publish some kind of roadmap, how many stages are planned so far and what are you going to adjust in this stages?

You just told us that every 2-4 weeks you would add a new stage of balance without providing more information about the future stages, then you stopped that after stage 2 or 3 so it is natural that we think "that was it"

I guess most of the players would prefer a better balance than some stupid* remodelled structures and events.

*by stupid I mean that they are NOT really needed for a better gameplay. It would have been ok if the castles had been released 2 or 3 months later, if you did work on balance in that time.

Suggestions..
- Make Sotw a Hunter-only-spell and slightly reduce the deffensive spells of marksmen.
- The damage of the warlock's spells should be adjusted to his level.

Imho, this is completely sufficient

Yea sounds handy. Hunters only softw.

This is not sufficient because you skipped the most important thing:
Fix the bugs, e.g. crashes, spells that do not work at all (heroic presence and more), horses jumpng backwards, ...

While i agree with such changes, this is far from sufficient.
Hunter class need much more work, every recent nerf impacted this already weak class without any counterpart.
