WAR Grab Bag #20

Posted by flipper July 13, 2009

Mythic Entertainment has published new Warhammer Online grab bag. Most interesting developers answers you can read below.

Q. In Part 2 of the Executive Letter, you mentioned that Crowd Control is going to be looked at. Can you tell us what is going to be examined?
A. Some of the Crowd Control changes which you'll see coming in the next patch include increasing Immunity timers, combining Root Immunity and Knockback Immunity together, and a new "Crowd Control Immunity" short-duration self-buff available as a Renown purchase, as well as Immunities persisting through death.

Q. What is the new timeline to implement the Combat and Career changes that were pulled from Game Update 1.3?
A. You'll be seeing some AoE changes (including radius adjustments & standardization, and damage balance) coming very soon, along with our first tweaks to several Crowd Control systems. For all of the other changes, we'll be examining them on a one-by-one basis, and if we determine that they're still good and necessary, then they'll roll out in stages in future patches.

Q. Are we still going to be moving towards a % based bonuses for the stats system?
A. Not at this time, no. Our results from the Public Test Server showed us that this concept needed more time in the oven while we scrub through the test data. The upcoming patch will indeed reduce stat contribution to AoE damage, but that is an independent change which stands on its own.

There's a whole lot more to read so pop over the the WAR site and check it out.
