Yum, this update smells (possibly tastes) exceptionally good. And the new additional varium packages are probably gonna be pretty good.

BRING ON BALANCE UPDATES SOON! :D.

Update on balance:

As Ashari said, we'll be replacing Berserker with Bludgeon. Berserker was giving a lot of extra free damage, so Bludgeon will lower that. Bludgeon also changes the damage type to physical, and coupled with Fireball this makes Dex an appealing counter to Strength-based Blood Mages.

We're opting not to act on any other changes we had in mind to see how much this affects them. Afraid that any more will hurt them too much or affect other BM builds. If they're still too strong after this change though, we'll definitely visit them again.

 Ehh.

Personally, I couldn't care less about the Strength Nerf to BMs -- it was kind of overpowered.

However, another point to the Blood Mage is the Team/Juggernaut battle Dex-Abusing Overload/Plasma Rain.

EDIT: I think this is actually pretty balanced, since after I run out of energy, my damage is minimal. Nothing you can't outdamage. However, the crazy blocks and moderate resistance helps survival.

@Digital X - Bludgeon is just as good IMO. Nothing like stabbing and thwacking your enemy with a sharp tip of the staff I say!

Bludgeon for Berzerker....
Fine by me, Maybe my 5 Focus Tank would work even better then :)

only Dex Tank CH's that need a fix then and we are on a good path to balance

Still working on the release. Lots of progress but new interfaces take a lot of development time. Since it's a payment engine it also needs to be rock solid and thoroughly tested. Will keep you guys posted on the progress.

 So TLM and Merc will not be slightly more effective against BM because of free Defense points. Good thing my armor is Physical and I stack my defense but I have a feeling STR BM will still hurt because Fireball Bludgeon costs less then Fireball Bezerker by 17 so if they do not change builds they now have a free heal.

Your welcome if you have yet to think of that STR BM's

Sorry all, but it looks like the patch isn't going to make it out tonight. Lots of stuff left just to get the new package system working, plus fully testing the system to death. We really tried to get it to a working state, but there's just too much left to get it to a standard that we are happy with.

It would also be bad to release this over the weekend just in case there are any unexpected problems, since the support team will not be as available to help with issues.

We apologize for the delay, and we'll push to get this out early next week.

 You have to admit, ED has changed quite a bit. Remember Gamma? Remember everyone (including me T.T) who complained everytime there was a delay? We whined, grovelled, raged, screamed our heads off. We accused the devs of being money-greedy bureaucrats.

Look at what we have today. A great game, supportive staff, amazing released. ED has changed quite a bit.

Can't they come up with a new skill instead of just swapping out skills, so now the Blood Mage an aggressive form of the tech mage has no multi-physical strike skill while tact merc has one and the Cyber hunter basically has 4.

This description needs to change as well :

"Blood Mage is the more aggressive and violent version of the Tech Mage. After being hardened by battle, some of the mages developed a lust for blood, and a balance between magic and melee."

me·lee (ml, m-l) also mê·lée (m-l)
n.
1.
a. Confused, hand-to-hand fighting in a pitched battle.
b. A violent free-for-all.

So where is the melee in a one strike attack?

They might as well give the Blood Mage Malfunction and Assimilation replacing Intimidation and Super Charge. How about replacing energy shield with technician so that the Blood Mage can be the evolved form of the tech mage instead of this Frankenstein of a class they created. How about a new multi with fire and ice to replace Plasma Rain and improves with dex since it is about replacing skills to satisfy the small mob mentality.

When in 2vs2 looking at players builds I see why they are easily defeated so was the Blood Mage really over powered or was it weak builds, lack of using energy draining skills or experimenting to find the build that works. I have seen Berzerker by the Blood Mage get blocked over and over again especially their dex as lowered. the Highest damage they got on me with my high dex and being smoked was 36.

So now after this unnecessary change players will still complain about Berzerker being too strong in the merc class and complain about being Double Striked than Berzerkered and call for their nerf because that is the only solution players come up with nerf after nerf change after change instead of realizing after every update you have to do build adjustments, trying to find the easy way out, a short cut.

Legendary AK!!!


 @hun "Hand-to-hand fighting." How is any skill in the game melee if none are hand-to-hand? Also, melee skills are classified as anything that requires the primary to contact the enemy. That includes Bludgeon. Also, earlier today I, a str abusing Tech Mage, got trampled easily by a Caster BM. She didn't have ridiculous dex(180+ like you often claim to have) yet she still managed to hit for more than you ever do despite me having 29-34 resistance.
