Dear Devs, What's on the Agenda?

[Systern]

Okay, so I know you guys are only human, and there are only so many hours in the work week...


Just curious what's on your agenda up until U19 launches? Are you primarily focused on the content of the pack? Is refinement with the enhancement trees still happening? ProducerRowan remarked that Sorc and Priest are getting new trees in a patch / next update... Just kinda wondering if you're moving on from enhancements for the time being. Are they "feature complete" and now they're in "bug-fix" stage?

Just wondering if bug reporting again feedback given in the enhancement previews is worth it? Are they still a work in progress, or are you moving on for the time being except for bug fixes?

i.e. Bard Warchanter Core abilities duration are still way too short... Is this something that's on the plate, or should we keep nagging about it?

As a whole, the team is now focused on fixing bugs and polishing the content for launch.

On the Systems side, Vargouille and I are working on fixing bugs with the enhancement trees, and making polish and balance adjustments where needed.
We welcome player feedback on the state of any particular enhancement tree. To us, bugfixing and polish does include shuffling around enhancements, changing costs, or making balance adjustments to improve specific enhancements or the relationship between a set of enhancements.

Thanks for participating in this closed beta phase! The earlier we get feedback, the better we're able to act on it.

Skaldic Rage has been tripled in duration, internally. More stuff like that still coming, generally. (Spell Criticals, spell power, AP costs, etc.)

And other people. This is not a two man show and we can't take all the credit. Steel and Piloto and Melange and others are in the mix as well (sorry to those co-workers of mine who's forum handles I'm forgetting).

There's a lot of people fixing bugs. For enhancements especially.

So are the various Capstones as they appear now where they are going to end up?

As I've stated elsewhere, I've not seen where the Capstones as they are presented now achieve this:

Ideally any capstone is at least as good as Evasion (if not better).

We understand some work may need to be done on individual abilities to achieve the proper balance.

There are INTENSELY pressing issues that a large number of people are in agreement about. Think about this from their end, you can do all the wonderful work in the world, but if it isn't communicated then we still have our pitchforks out.

I linked my thread with thoughts on the kensei tree, and it got ZERO dev attention. How do you think I feel about putting the time into doing a write up in the future?

Um you forgot Eladrin... and/or he forgot to say bye (aka RAWWWR) to us... or is he just on loan to Batman?

Can you include which classes exactly you want feedback on?

You stated that Sorcerers will be/are ignored mostly. So, should we know something something else?
