Okay, here are some observations I've made as a level 19 Hunter (Doxy and Zig).

[*] Orbis Flamma is overpowered for an AoE spell. It kills almost any enemy and other players instantly.

[*] Fury is probably overpowered considering a level 5 was able to kill me with healing.

[*] Spells cost quite a bit for Hunters considering their low MP, unless your intention was to require rangers to have a decent amount of intelligence. I can't cast 3 of the spells I have because of MP restraints.

[*] I've heard reports that Rapidshot still doesn't do much damage. If it's not supposed to do damage, then I'm not sure I understand its utility.

[*] I don't appear to lose any HP, or have any negative consequences when using Haste.

I'll let you know if I find out anything else. Keep up the good work

-Fury was fixed(technically nerfed) today.

-Hunter mp is good enough once you reach the mid 20s, but yeah I agree with you on the MP consumption.

-You only lose HP with Haste when you hit targets.

Do bows not count when using Haste? I never noticed an effect when using them.

do you have a hunter? they dont regen poo and that means downtime and if you are in a "hard" area death.

Its not that bad, just as long as you're hitting more than 2 monsters consistently with Tornado - which is the only aoe heavily relied on for leveling.

Never used bows, only crossbows. Must be a bug.

I might of just not noticed the effect. I use tornado as well. I'll check more carefully next time I get on.

Bugs/Glitches
- On my Warrior my Cons. was at 15 and my HP. was 452 and when I leveled up I raised Cons. to 16 and my HP. dropped to 451.
- When beams are casted from mages the beam shoots out of their crotch (looks pretty funny and downplays the coolness of a beam)
- If wrath is supposed to increase ones HP steal and lower HP regain why does it hurt you when you hit a target and not just have a constant "poison-like" affect on the character.
- Another thing I noticed (and I may have never paid attention to it) is that my warriors HP regain is only +2. Has HP regain been lowered?

Same thing happened to my Warrior but in this case it was with the Agility stat.

I leveled and raised Agility by 1 and my base HP went down like 10 points lol.

Leaping over a pit still doesn't let you continue to leap. I died 15k penalty.

The specs for Spectral throwing knives are less than lightning, yet it's a higher lvl item, this didn't seem intentional with your current system

That spectral weapon brings up a good point!

Could it be possible for loot to not be so random please. I mean it's fine in the beginning levels, but since I am 25 and fighting tougher mobs to get exp I would expect that the loot they drop should be earth or above or at least fire and above. I find it kind of hard to imagine that someone already has found a level 30 item when they themselves are in the level 20 - 25 range or around there and grinding xp in those areas. I would like to see loot that makes sense.

I didn't find it grinding, I found it trying to save my stuff in area where I was getting 2 hit KO'd. As far as I can tell stuff is set up pretty well so that rare stuff is pretty rare and you could get to hunt the next teir up if you're lucky enough.

I would like to know where you've been then !

Rage seems to not give enough life steal and takes away too much hp for it to be useful. I would die from the DoT itself, than actually dieing from mobs. It's more useful right now to just use Wrath.

Not sure why this is happening, but my hunch is that you have a base HP item on and it isn't being re-applied after you level up. Can you try to confirm this?

Ironically enough, fixing the spin bug (the one that prevented you from changing direction while casting whirlwind) broke leaping. Thanks, I have added a fix for this!

Fixed.

What you suggest is what we planned--but think about it from our perspective. We have no idea how well players are going to be able to fight monsters. I could design a monster, call it level 1 and no level 20 player would be able to kill him. These things are hard to estimate, and I think what we have now is a fairly good balance considering the billions of different player types that can be created.

I have been tweaking fury/wrath/wrage and quickness/haste/rancor for a while now. I thought this last edition would be an interesting diversion from "safe" gameplay, but I see that since fig types lack a basic buff that's needed first before we get fancy. In this next update, I'm trying out something new that is a more standard buff. It should also solve the problem of hunters not having enough MP and fighters not doing enough damage.


Ok, that's all for now!

Awesome Karl, can't wait.

I understand what you mean.

Also another thing, I know it's been said in another thread, but when Whirlwinding and colliding with another object in the game, it stops the animation and causes a good 2 - 3 second delay before another spell or even attacking can be preformed. I hope this does get fixed fast because that 2 - 3 seconds is all that takes for someone die and it's not their fault.

Is it possible for Fiery Icons or Earthen Emblem to give armor? I mean even Wooden Rings give you armor, I find it wierd that these higher level rings don't give armor.

Another possibility perhaps, could boots get a +% movement speed just like gloves give +% attack speed.

I believe he removed armor from wooden rings, I haven't confirmed though.

is this fixxed? dunno if you updated again, cause i remember some one saying 2 weps is almost the same dmg as a 1 hander and a shield.

if thats the case, who would ever dualwield?

Should be fixed as of 3.7; my calculations were off.
