Please, please, please do not make Blindside a Melee skill again. Hunters need a ranged Interrupt, and Blindside has been working well in its current capacity for this. I don't think it would be...

I really like the sound of that, but as part of Option #2. Hunter definitely needs one of those lines to become a passive utility line, and if we are to save Yellow, and give Hunter a true CC role,...

This actually sounds very, very useful for dragging mobs into traps. That said, I think I'd still prefer it on a Decoy than as a direct arrow skill, just for the added flavour of that (plus not...

My vote is Option #2.

Firstly, I'm a little surprised this is the second option, as I (and I'm sure many others) expected you to make Yellow a non-spec utility tree, change a few other things, and...

Firstly, I think making Yellow line a non-spec utility line is the right choice.

I'll have more feedback another time, but just wanted to chime in on these:



Option 2 sounds like the best...

Personally, I really liked Epic Battles, though there were some rough points at launch, and I think most of them could do with being a little shorter, maybe with the ability to spawn the next wave if...

That's true for MM, but the sheer amount of shards we can get from the rare deed chests in Gundabad makes that an entirely different story -- except we have nothing to spend them on.

It's better to just make recipes unbound. With U35 we have new food recipes, but if I didn't run my Cook through, I'd never get them then (according to that ideal world scenario -- I'm aware this...

One other thing:

Give us something to actually use our Sunstone Shards! In Minas Morgul cycle, we had huge incentives to use our Ithilharn Shards, from essences to consumables to armour to pets....

+1 for a catch-up mechanic for guilds, through Valars and/or other means.

-Bel

A further idea regarding the guild decay:

Instead of removing our hard-earned progression, just give us more progress to earn throughout an expansion cycle. So, instead of us grinding all the...

This is a good change, but I still think a better system would be the one Severlin originally suggested a year or two ago: allow three "free" professions, where crafting xp is gained at normal...

Personally, I think Yellow Guard should become a passive utility line (like Warden and Minstrel, and, hopefully soon, Hunter). I just don't see the point of making an "AOE tank" line when that's...

Excellent, glad to hear :)



Excited to see what these bring (though I hope new tiers don't repeat the empty tier 11 concept (which I still think needs to change).



Thank you. This is the...

+1 to this. I'd like to see all Virtue XP rewards changed to consumables, so we could ship them off to particular characters who need them.

Just to highlight the "every solution creates its own new problem" concept here, I want to re-address one of my earlier suggestions. It was pointed out to me by someone that, while a seventh variant...

I was discussing this with another player I run Delvings with regularly and they suggested something similar: just axe the gem requirement entirely and let players pick any tier they want.

I think...

Some further comments on the accompanying chart:

I like the new (mostly) systematic approach, but the fact that variants 5 and 6 have a couple of effects that don't match their type (creating...

Generally speaking my luck has been good with Delvings, but as someone who as been stung by RNG in the past, I can certainly empathise.

Perhaps a system where your bad luck eventually converts...

Overall, great changes and great dev diary (and thanks for the additional explanatory notes, Mitth).

A few points:

1. I do like the existing difficulty, and wanted to see even more of that on...

I would support this.

I think a monthly quest (which could either have separate objectives or be "Complete Weekly four times") with a gold tracery token might be a better solution and incentive (I know it would be for...

Hallelujah! This, plus the Carry-alls, are my most-wanted QoL improvements for the Moors for a long time. Glad to see the map will be a skill and not an item :)

-Bel

Severlin hinted that there are clues in the letter as to what the new class is, which is why many are speculating on something like Corsair or Swashbuckler.

-Bel

I've seen the same. And while I like being a "Tinker" on my main, I have zero use for a Cook who isn't also a Farmer (that's another alt), but I would love to be able to gather wood or scholar nodes...
