Tomorrow has never been so far away?

So far away and we don't have a guarantee that it will come yet. I don't mind though. Polish things up before releasing it for public testing.

Well, when I'm think about it ... I have to say:

Yes, we warriors are happy. At the time before all of those updates, the archers were happy for being "overpowered". ... In my optionen it's already time to weaken all archers.

Ok the main thing that i dislike about this is now it seems im not going to be able to sit back and fire some relatively slow normals which are nice and hard so rip through armor.
Now it looks like im gonna have to MG all the time.
I cant play marks how i believe NGD intended with +100% attack speed

It is also uniquely flawed.

As an example, there are classes that are so fun to play because they can do whatever they want over other classes.
On the other hand, there are classes that are just too frustrating because you have almost no chance to hit your enemies and when you do, technical issues make it very difficult to actually nail a blow.


Also, in videogames, FUN usually has a direct relation with (fair) challenge

Once archers find out that their enemy warriors are actually a challenge they will enjoy greater rewards (as in entertainment value) per encounter.
also, balancing, will be much easier once technical issues have been fixed .

We have been playing with the new version and we believe that this is a HUGE improvement. Hopefully we will open up Amun tomorrow...

yes it's flawed but it's still unique in a good way, it produces fast paced combat which I like, and I think taking away the fast paced combat will be a bad move, but I haven't tried the new system yet with all the implementations alltogether, I just don't hope it's too much changed but I'll look forward to trying it out, great thing I'm not going to school rest of the week , these are good news

I'm excited about the changes to the combat system regarding target availability rather than any changes to nerf archers (which might be a bonus... well the having to stay still to shoot anyway.) Maybe there'll be some marksman specific very slow bows in the future?

The changes to combat system sound good imo.
It sounds like it could improve gameplay.

More likely they got bored of the game, then used the changes since they started as a ragequit firewood.

No matter how fun something is it starts to ware eventually, especialy if its been the exact same for 2 years.
