Why did Forked Tower reuse the BA entry system LOL

Someone fill me in. What did the devs say LMFAO

Also, Shades Triangle is just Bozja 2.0 aka Eureka 3.0 aka FATEs 4.0 yeah? I got that prediction right yeah?

I wish it was Bozja 2.0, I had way more fun doing that one than OC, especially since the FATEs had neat little things to them like two RDMs having LB3 clashes.

Did they actually add anything new? I remember people getting so upset I said there will be nothing new lmao

Their rationale behind how Forked operated was...


They felt that Delubrum had too many support systems. Whatever that means I have no idea....

So of course, in their 'infinite' wisdom elected that a model closer to BA was more suitable.

they said something about how they felt drs was too 'supportet' from the game so they wanted to take a step back from that. i kinda wish thats a mistranslation... it would be ridiculous if not

[bic12]

Kinda sad that I remember once upon a time that kind of mumbo jumbo would be laughed off as something you'd see from WoW. Maybe all MMOs end up like WoW.

They literally removed things, lol. Phantom Jobs are just a set of cross class skills that barely interact with your existing kit, if at all - imho an absolute downgrade to essences and lost actions. Most fate and critical engagement bosses are the same uninspired slop we get in other parts of the game (with broken fate HP scaling to add insult to injury), max players per instance was cut in half, and instead of making a CLL/Dalriada gauntled they released dollar-store BA.

Also: nice seeing you back

It'll never be released and would have to be translated anyway but I'd love to read the design document outlining the reasoning and maybe a transcript of the meeting where this was discussed and decided on. I bet that would be fascinating.

Anyway, I took "too much support" for DRS to mean they believe that too many players who didn't deserve to be there got carried through it. (I say that sarcastically, they obviously wouldn't say it in those terms, but I really do think that's what they meant)

Phantom Jobs are just a set of cross class skills that barely interact with your existing kit, if at all, some going so far as just adding more 2 minute skills - imho an absolute downgrade to essences and lost actions.

I seriously don't know why I got dunked on for predicting that. People just huff so much copium around here.

Well, people writing here are still fans of the game and want it to be better. Occult Crescent and the following Live Letter where they admitted that they did not have the capacity to make a CLL/Dal Capstone did shatter a lot of goodwill though. Thats kinda CS3's "do you guys not have phones" moment.
