Everyone should hold off opinions till we see what they've managed to do. If it sucks, it wouldn't have mattered if it was today or 21st or 30th.

Let's hope it's good stuff that was worth the wait.

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.

If thats aimed at me I've had the game, and a new PC to run it, a week.

I'm just waiting for the rantfest aka "patch get's delayed 1 day"

If that happens, a huge shitstorm will unfold in these forums ocne again.

Not that a huge shitstorm would be avoidable after the patch hits anyway about all the stuff people are not happy about.

lol dont need to play the game long to know its a giant turd, nor do you need to play long to figure out how badly it lacks content, basic features and needs massive changes to be worthy of most peoples money. After 30 theres what? Some NMs? Whoopie-Do

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.

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
