Patch 1.18a Notes

God...I feel like a few parts of this thread was a Jerry Springer show O.o; good lord.

One of the things the community wanted was earlier patch notes so that we could have a chance to give some pre-feedback before implementation (e.g. increase curing MP costs by 150% instead of 200% please).

Maybe the Development Team is taking our advice.

I don't believe patch notes come out until the patch is ready. So any pre-releasing doesn't generate feedback in time. And since the community has a negative knee-jerk reaction to change, any feedback they receive from the patch notes is far less useful than actual gameplay feedback.

I voted for it too, but for them to change things that would be very good and things that currently make a whole lot of sense would be very wrong.

This isn't change for the sake of change. This is a response to the related question which indicated that the community wanted defined class roles. Everybody gets to go from being a generalist to being pigeonholed into a particular role.

I was actually talking about making it so gladiators do more damage with no shield equipped, like it was meant to be months ago ^^. Im glad all the others are getting the damage boosts they need to counter the risk of melee combat, gladiator is still just mr shield guy. At least marauders can tank multi-monster groups better than gladiator still (holding aggression), and do great damage with the update.
