Patch 1.18 release date announced! July 21

Thats 9 days more "Balancing", i think you could hate a little more if it sucked but you had 9 days extra to balance.

Balancing is actually to me.. the most major step in the Development Process.. If you don't Balance it "WILL" lead to Multiple Problems. and this is the one patch they DON'T want to be unbalanced considering this is the Base of this games future

While I 100% agree with you I guarantee people will say its unbalance, we'll have Thms who can solo it and imo if a group of rank 25's can do the 4man one and a group of rank 50's can, then it is not balanced lol. Unless it changes based on this, which then people might exploit 50/50/50/25.

We'll have to see, but I dont think it will be balanced. They ruined the big/main NM's and they're very unbalanced now.

Too bad it doesn't fit the evidence. Unless they have already changed the timeline, "balance" is in 1.19. There's no point "balancing" a system that will be rehauled next patch (they are taking out physical levels in 1.19)

It's sketchy but the facts aren't adding up either their plans changed since last Producer letter, or they're full of dung.

Either way, it's not a "good sign" and all that can be "redeemed" is when we judge it on release.

If everything works well or new information comes to light, it'll be a heck of a lot better on PR font at least.

So what are you concerned about? That they're not relaying every detail of when some untold idea of theirs needed to be scrapped? Or that they're slacking?

For one, I'm surprised at how much information they've relayed to us after the team change. I'm not sure I could ask much more.

And for two, do you really think they're just sitting around, twiddling their thumbs? They already know it's over if they do that. Unless they've given up and haven't told us about it, I don't think you need to worry about their productivity.

theres balancing in every patch. doesn't matter if they add something now and take something out later, they have to balance and rebalance each action they do.

with the addition of AA, dungeons, and whatever comes in 1.18, they have to balance that. when they take out phys lvl in 1.19, they have to balance that.

i'd rather have them take a week and make sure things work rather then them releasing it tommorow and come to find out that the last boss is glitched and can't be killed; and its gonna take them a week for them to fix it.

they need to get it right the first time, i really hope they do

That's inherently stupid and un-developer like. Since 1.18 and 1.19 is back to back.

If that were truly their roadmap, they might as well pack up shop now. There isn't enough subscriber base to fill a penny jar much less a business model.
