In the Game Balance Discussion section you see top post with post where there are poll asking for certain things to fix the unbalanced broken things in this game. For example, if your are not aware, who ever the fucking moron who does the developing, AGI polearms are EXTREMELY overpowered. It is literally blatantly overpowered. There are multiple threads asking for things to be fixed here.

And guess what? Nothing is being done.
And what changes do we get?? They nerf the 2h longsword and bastard sword class.
I haven't seen a thread for that here. Has anyone else?
So here is what I think is going on here.
I think who ever is doing the balancing is making the game to suit however he plays and basing the changes on clearly on the wrong reasons.
-
Balancing is difficult. But add new items shouldn't be so hard. We had quite nothing new since the begining of the year (except the crusader sword).

I faintly remember it being a hot topic 1-2 years ago...
If that is the case that they work with a huge back log... then it might explain it...

All three of those threads were made after the last update, seeing as they haven't updated yet, you can't really claim they are doing nothing about it.

Also, you seem to speak from a position of overwhelming consensus. Which haven't really been established.

I create threads on most items posted in the Game Balance forums that involve item stats. It's difficult to agree on mechanics changes and even moreso trying to implement them in a timely manner. I think it's good that we're all discussing what possible easy/best solutions exist for these issues. I'm only confident in making small tweaks to existing functions since I can't test larger changes as of yet. As for animations, you have to message Tydeus and bug him enough to change it, unless someone else is willing to change it.

A group was recently established to address those concerns :)

I'm pretty sure the crusader sword still doesn't have an image in the store section. Like, a year later.
What's up with that?
