Panos.
Panos.+1 only proper decision, like evar.
I dont like where this is going
item balance + democracy + MMO culture
Wait. So spear&shield is always gonna be as fucked in a 1v1 as they are now? Or are you just talking about the items themselves and not the classes?
Yeah better leave it at dictatorship.History proves that the most useful form of Government.
WE WANT STRATEGUS!

i want a republican form ofgovtbalance you fucking back woods reject
Well err ifurnot democritic ur a commernist dictermaship right?
democracy in its raw form is the absolute worst form of govt on the earth
hey can we have a NA item balancer on board
Only small changes? I suppose that means archery remains pierce.
We actually already do.Shik?
Shik?Indeed.
Lol Fascist - its not about the government, its about the people bro. Its all about the people. A Communist Dictatorship - is not true Communism.
Otherwise... this could be a godsend or a catastrophe. Lets watch and wait.
how does one get on the item balance team?Well, from what I heard from panos, he likes boys...in terms of homosexuality...
Are you sure about this pollthingy about item changes?They still gonna discuss it themselves. Not like everything that gets over 50% is gonna be accepted.
Most changes will be stupid stuff as in the suggestionscorner.
And many people will just vote, because they hate a certain item used by a certain class...what you get then is a vote that doesn't balance the game, but that would (if changed by devs) make the game easier for alot of whiny kids...
Please rethink that. Suggestions corner is bad enough.
Letting the community decide on balance changes
Oh god.
(first new pick is okiN)
They still gonna discuss it themselves. Not like everything that gets over 50% is gonna be accepted.
Just a quick announcement that we decided to change the way item balance works. We are considering the raw tuning of the items complete now and are now starting the finetuning. This means you can expect only very small (and documented) changes to items from now on.
We have increased our item balancing team from 3 to 5 (or are in it right now, first new pick is okiN), and changes are now only done when a majority agrees with the proposed change.
Why am I telling you this? Mostly, so you can understand how we work. Also, that you can now, more or less, rely on the item stats we have. Of course, some things might still change, but common sense should be able to tell you which ones that could be.
Also, we want to propose a new way for forum members to propose changes. If you put up a poll in the item balance suggestion with the format "[STATS] change speed from xyz from 33 to 32" and put up a vote with "yes" and "no", we will have a look at it, and if enough people vote yes(around 50%), we'll put up the suggestion in our internal board for evaluation. It is, of course, important to have real values and realistic values. We will then tell you what our internal evaluation has decided and, most importantly, why.
So, tl;dr:
Item stats changes are now smaller,
they are documented,
you can do stat changes too!

America is a republic, not a democracy.
He never said it was.
This is paynos in my gut
I like this so much
Haikus are fucking cool yo
Not sure were this is goingWtf am I writing

while dreaming of very large butts.
Sper&shield Imo it's not a class for "solitary" players ala Kinngrimm, the phalanx was effective cuz there were a group of many spearmen/pikers etc.., together they were able to keep the distance and hit the enemies from different angles .. IMO in 1vs1 they would get owned . I mean, how can it be a good class in 1vs 1 if you can only stab?
Imo spear&shield is a good support class for the group ,but it's not made for 1vs1... a good example Imo are the Denbitre guys with shield&spear/awlpike whatever, they are very effective together .
Maybe i'm saying bs, but if i remeber well, Merc_Pully fights without his shield if he's forced in a 1vs1 fight, and he's good.
I am just a bit worried that 2/3 of the community will always downvote the last third. Twohanders and polearm users might go for nerfing the one hander items on the polls being that:Sigh. It's been said before and it's said again.
a) That change will not affect them
b) It will make things easier against some opponents on the battlefield
