It takes developers years to create a working battle system. I'm actually impressed with what they have done so far, and what there plans are in finishing the battle system. However, i haven't tried it for myself yet, so i can't really say whether the system is good or not, and what they need to change.

This is why SE needs a test server. :P
Considering they've got 10 years of experience, tweaking and fixing this kind of issue in their previous mmo only to have to redo it all again because its completely messed up, im not impressed, they're just basically going back to where they were before, which is what they should of done in the first place. its the classic "Aint broke dont fix it" and this clearly wasnt broke (in XI) and some reason they wanted to fix it. And now they're going back.

But i 100% agree on the test server. it did TERA wonders and they managed to fix a lot and tweak the new instances
