Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 6: All About Tech
Q: When keeping friends or guildies together, when does that conflict with the population balance or the latency? Like, what wins in the priority on the server tech?
Frank Williams explains that the system prioritizes repeated encounters with a community, while tuning world placement and population balance. Players will be prompted to move worlds when joining a group rather than moved without warning, and guild members should generally share a world.
Ep 6: All About Tech
Q: Do you have any ideas on giving tools and utensils for people to have a larger raid group than 40 to gather easier on these kind of moments to be able to like group up and get people together?
The developers say they have discussed larger groups or armies of about 80 to 120 players and ways to combine groups, especially as the game matures, but they have no concrete announcement. They also describe ongoing work to optimize large battles.
Ep 2: Speed Running Classes ft. @Sodapoppin
Q: If you're going to normalize rage, what compensation are you giving Warriors, and how are you making the class fun again?
The designers say rage from taking damage is currently bugged and is being fixed, while increased rage from critical hits is returning. They want Warriors to retain their unpredictable rage spikes and specialize in sustained cleave damage.
Ep 2: Speed Running Classes ft. @Sodapoppin
Q: What is the reasoning for removing power shifting, and what is the goal?
The designers say power shifting was unintuitive, unintended behavior that filled otherwise available global cooldowns. The replacement, Shifting Power, spends mana to grant energy on a cooldown, preserving some of the resource-conversion gameplay while making it more understandable and easier to balance.
Ep 4: The PvP Episode ft. ‪@TipsOutBaby‬ & ‪@Savixirl‬
Q: Is there any plans to combat off level 60s camping low levels until they log out?
The developers say camping is part of the PvP ruleset and they do not plan to intervene in ordinary cases, though they will act against cheating or exploits. They may build temporary protections into designed PvP events.
