Khimera -> RE: The future of epicduel (6/27/2011 8:17:17)

The spreadsheet was created by Xen, and it's his call when to release it and who to. He constructed it using the formulae I put together in a document, which I won't be releasing as it's aimed directly at Titan. The system I've put together involves a number of quite radical changes, some of which may cause backlash as it may cause the game to seem unfamiliar at first. However, I have put this together with the game's best interests at heart, and there are many benefits (beside the obvious one of more balanced gameplay) - Such as opening the way for innovative and creative skills, abilities on items, etc., without fear of causing balance disruption.
While it's ultimately the call of the game devs as to whether the system is implemented or not - As it not only involves a lot of re-coding, but also some quite large changes to the game mechanics - player opinion plays an important part in everything, and since Titan and the team are busy getting Delta ready I have at least until Wednesday to iron out any flaws in my proposal. I'll happily answer any questions and will take suggestions as to changes that need to be made - I'm sure Xen will provide the spreadsheet, and any information, if prompted.
Although the pessmist in me is screaming that the system won't be put in-game, I'd like to reassure everybody that although the changes are quite large, they are - In my opinion, at least - in the best interests of the game, and the players, and I can only hope that it's worth the time and effort it would take to implement.
