The EpicDuel General Discussion board is currently filled up with many topics on balance (as is inevitable with a PvP). I suggest a sticky for all balance discussion and suggestions. Because balance issues don't seem to be more than a few at a time, I don't think that multiple threads of discussion would be a problem. It would definitely clear some room for other possible topics.

Inconceivable!


 I don't think a single thread for all the balance issues would be a good idea.

It's not fair to say that there is only 1 balance problem at a given time. For example before this last release, there was a lengthy post discussing the weaknesses of Blood Shield while another post was aimed at the imbalance of Strength Bounty Hunters (which was a big problem at the time). A sticky will just get messy as it will just encourage people to go off-topic as there is no clear focus in the thread. It's also very hard to get an on-going discussion about multiple issues in a single sticky. An individual thread can narrow the discussion down to a single topic (such as a skill being underpowered, or a build being overpowered, etc). Without this focus, the discussion is just going to become a list of complaints without any useful feedback.

Also balance is ever-changing in ED. As some in-game problems correct themselves and some discussion threads die out, other new issues will be brought up in new threads. A single thread for all balance discussion would make it harder to bring attention to the more pressing balance issues.

I agree with Ash, there shouldn't be one thread for all Balance issues, there should be a section for all balance issues to be posted in, like we have a General Discussion thread we should have a Balance Discussion thread.

 From what I understand, the forum staff are holding off on granting ED Balance it's own forum/sub-forum because ED GD seems to be handling the traffic really well and because, if a balance forum was to be created right now, ED GD would be essentially a barren wasteland. With this in mind, I can envision ED having its own balance section once there is enough non-balance related traffic to sustain ED GD or if the situation with ED explodes more than it has already, somehow flooding ED GD with more balance threads than it can handle. A balance forum should be here. It's just a matter of when.

The problem with sticky thread that we can't focus on 1 problem to balance it.
