<DIV> <DIV>The point of this thread to is to shed light on an issue and a term that we, i, and every poster that has posted anything about class balance and just about any issue at all for that matter very loosely.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As intended is a great term that we seem to use in almost any given situation where something is not working properly, as WE think it should based upon snippits of developer information.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This most recent discovery within the fighter archetype balance **issue** tends to make one question what validity that the phrase, "working as intended" holds.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now first thought honestly is always, well moorguard told me so. But how often does a spell do something totally different from its description? How often are classes nerfed before any fixes at all have been made? In this most recent issue, how broken is the system in place within itself and what measures will have to be taken in order to alleviate the **issue**.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Since we can all agree that outside of "in testing" notes, they are just as flexible in opinion and overall game direction as any player is, just sometimes from a seemingly more sheltered point of view.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also, given that moorguards past few post have illustrated a small lack of patience in his approach as though he is constantly trying to passively and tactfully calm fire storms, which can be hard to do. We all have different expectations of everquest 2 -- some perfection, others "just be decent enough". </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Either way i propose a more stabalized approach to matters such as these, also given that a both quick and efficient solution is needed on the present issue, (which will be nearly impossible to achieve both saying as though they are still in the "talking about it" phase) we should instead of bickering and spending a full month amongst ourselves in times like these, we should merely ask for what we think is needed based upon the core concepts of what balance is supposed to be in this game overall. and respect anothers opinion to the extent of critiquing it, instead of striking it down with holy rath because it does not co-inside with your own. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In order to both hasten the development process, as well as get a rounded sense of what everyone is experiencing at a given time, on a given issue, and come to a conclusion that will befit everyone at once as to lose this, " i dont care if you dont like it, i want it this way" mentality.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just a thought. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>peace.</DIV></DIV>
