Bullroarer Update 23.2 Preview #2 - Release Notes

[Saruman_Of_Numbers]

The people who would write item flavor text descriptions are not the same people who would do the technical systems work you want done.

of course


but riddle me this though:

Pretty much every update/expansion since launch, the visuals, storytelling, quests, music, art, design, etc have always been considered by an overwhelming majority of the players of all bents (raiders/casuals/questers/roleplayers/etc) to be either good or excellent, and the collective amount of major messups in those departments over 11 years can be counted on one hand
(i'm looking at you, Gondor stone-wings-on-every-building-with-6-foot-thick-20-foot-tall-walls-around-three-wooden-farm-houses and annoying-rohan-combat-music-opera-singing-BAAAAAAAAAALE...BAAAAAAAAAALE)


However, the list of major game-breaking combat/class mechanics/balancing/pvp/raid issues that come out has been getting exponentially longer since launch, and REALLY took off after the deeply unpopular Trait Trees of Helms Deep.... the list of MAJOR issues with these systems every update keeps getting longer and longer as abilities/traits fail to scale and new (completely unnecessary) systems are layercaked on top of the existing systems.


How is it that Madeoflions and the artists manage to put out a masterpieces consistently for a decade, while the core combat system of the game rots away to the point where you can auto-attack enemies to death and obviously bad changes like the one-oathbreakers-per-target-per-combat and eye-rake-cooldown-increase are even remotely considered?

If you're having problems understanding the complex game mechanics of a decade of work before you, perhaps ask the players who have been here 11 years and know the ins and outs of their classes for that entire period?

perhaps instead of dozens of quick fixes on these issues, spend extra time/effort getting it right the first time, so there doesn't have to be a class/pvp revamp/fix every update for the rest of the game.
