I support an KoO style group for ED becuase even though Titan NightWriath and Charfade do a good job with maintaining ballance if you look to some of the more sensible users trying to get a more ballanced ED(not teh OMG i was critted by this class debuff them) they do miss things and a KoO style group would really help them do a better job on those ballance issues so they could focus more effort into improving ED or stomping bugs.

For this KoO group i would use players who could A)try different classes and more importanly try different builds then just the normal spammed builds or B) have atleast two users for each class and have them focus on that class and its different builds so you could get a wider but more spefic spread of data to work off of.

Finally i remember WM trying to get the ballance posts on EDF more to KoO standard in that we had to use numbers and such to back up our suggestions suffice to say it only worked for a short period of time.

Thank you megakyle777 for making a more sensible post that carries some if not alot of importance to ED's ballance

depends if we get players we can trust and know a lot about the game.


I do think that VIX is perfect for this.

Thanks! I just thought that if we could get a similar team all the Balance Arguments would fade somewhat. And I'm glad to see this thread poular, even if some people disagree with me. But hey, it would not be a discussion if we all agreed.[;)]



Cinderella -> RE: Is a Knights of Order style team needed? (4/21/2011 10:56:10)

The reason I think that, if we brought someone in to balance the game, they would have to be emotionally neutral is because I believe it would hinder someone whose sole job is to balance the game if they loved a particular class they might not be able to see its flaws (which has become a problem in the balance suggestions "why you wanna nerf strength mercs? You just hate me!", "All bounty hunters are n00bs" etc.)

There are also questions of accountability. Since they would likely be volunteer staff, it would create an elite group with the perks of modship but not mod abilities (because, let's face it, the qualities needed to balance a game aren't necessarily the same qualities needed to discipline a game).

I agree that it would be more efficient to bring some people in to balance the game, but, it's not something the devs are interested in at the moment. They're not ruling it out as a long-term plan, but it's not something we can manage in the short term.

Cindy the fact that its not a short term goal is a good thing becuase there would have to be alot of work into creating a KoO like team becuase there are thousands of players in ED and finding the right people would be a pain becuase of just what you said we cant have favortism in these groups it would lead to inballance the opisite of the goal

but as i see it ED is still a good 6 months from bottuming out to the point where a KoO style team is needed and thats on the lesser end of the scale so the devs have plenty of time to descide on if ED needs one
