    who said it is coming back in 1.20? i thought they said they took it it out so they cpu;d test balance, and since classes are changing a lot next [atch, they probably still need to control it.

    honestly i dont know if they will really bring it back, that may have been like, lets not cause an uproar, lets tell em well bring it back later.

    It also is amazing how perception changes based on almost no info, people right now have almost no idea how the stat formulas work now, or how effective they are, and they claim that now stats matter. you do realize that we now have waaaay more total stat points than we did before? if the reason they sucked is because we had too much, how much bonus stats do you think you have to have to make a difference now?

    I just find it funny that people think stats matter so much more now, based on nothing but the fact that they think it does.

    Anyhow back to the op, i dont think its coming in 1.20, i dont remember them ever giving a date on its return, though its possible. They also never made it clear whether you would have full allocation opptions or a limited one. With how big our pools are now, i somehow doubt we will get full allocation back though

    I'm almost certain they confirmed half of this stuff somewhere, I'll find it when I have some time. If I recall correctly it was confirmed that stat allocation would be both automatic and manual with the bonus points. There would be fewer bonus points than previously but they would matter more and that it would be coming back in 1.20 but again I'll have to find the source in a few hours.

    1.19 Physical bonus revisions -NEW-

    Implementation of automated character development based on class level.

    We will implement a system whereby players can voluntarily allocate attribute points to each class in patch 1.20. This will take place alongside class balance adjustments.
    Unless they have changed plans (or delayed further) after 1.20 we are supposed to be able to choose between Auto-Allocation and Player-Allocated, but either way the total points to allocate are fewer but more meaningful.
