-fixed green stats for sets
-fixed MS
-added some of the new skills (and revamped some of the old ones)
-characters will get 2nd role, basic LF and custom epi on creaction
-nerfed ck roles for 1st phase

We actually are going to balance the gameplay for all roles. As our 1st phase is going to be HM-capped, we want to avoid '9nukers'. That's the reason we are going to add balanced skills, that won't hurt healers anymore.

As Bogdy said, we made the sets working, also we fixed whisper/FL.

-made our own launcher

I won't really tell anything about 'minor change' - I'm sure you will notice it really fast. We think that roles are balanced more this way.

Gifts are rather left without any comment.

The last map is Liaodong, so that's why we removed the Icy exit from the maps.

-removed def sets (we will see how that goes)

Those are the things we did for balancing the game even more.

And I have to ask after seeing this. ANY ETA YET!!!!

tobybossu · 07/04/2015, 21:14

so erm....when can we play exactly? is it gonna be up by tomorow?

Pony1 · 07/04/2015, 21:31

i vote for option 4: launch now b4 i go sleep

DDD
kk it was a joke ofc i vote for opt 1, completely agree with it, every1 knows that there will be a wipe, not like other servers (i dont wanna say examples) that wipe when no1 is expecting it ---> making players leave/rage quit.
This should be also a good info for you seeing how many "fans" u have at the begining

Cheers

We need to know if the wipe will happen 100%. You said " in case" thats not very informative. SO will u get it working on win 8.1 ? WILL THERE BE A WIPE ?

We want to get it to work. We can't really promise that, but for sure we are going to try even harder. That's the reason we are not sure whether we are going to wipe or not.

if ( windows8_1.isWorking() ) wipe();

That's how it'd be, probably.

We are going to have more and more free time - I almost finished my last project, so I'd go for finishing my part of job.

Still no ETA. If we are going to open the server, we will tell you beforehand.

Don't wipe, just don't. Make everything perfect, even if it takes 10 ******* years.

While I would agree with your mentality, we cannot afford to delay, especially with this vote.

Let's make it this way. In case we get newer files or we transition to our side-project (other files) we will try to make a DB transfer.

~Greetings, Project Alpha

EDIT: @People asking for ETA, check my last post. You should be able to deduce how much time until release is left by checking the PA phase 1 content goals and what we already did.

^ That is your last one, Bogdy. You failed hard.

Actually, we are even less than just 'close'.

And when it comes to wiping the server:
I'm sure we will find a way to not hurt our player in that case. If we can avoid the wipe, we certainly will.

But I thought it was already well and decided that there WOULD be a wipe - after the initial testing phase but before the actual 'first' phase?

Wouldn't it work out to just hold off the wipe pre-first-phase until you have win 8.1/10 working properly?

[/two cents]

thats somehow true. but people need to know if wipe iz real. imagine i put lot of effort without knowing if there will be a wipe or not.

senatovici · 07/05/2015, 00:55

I don't know about you guys but when I do something I give it all, even if its 9D and even if I know there will be a wipe. I still try to do my best for further experience xD Doing things the best you can makes everything easier if you have to re-do (this does not apply in math tho).
