The Nerf

 

Ok so your really happy with your character.  It does decent damage and you know how to play the class.  Then your game goes through a patch and poof....you've been nerfed!  I would not mind but why oh why do Devs hit so heavy handed.  They always seem to over nerf and then after screams from their customers bring back the class (sometimes overpowering them leading to another nerf).  Look Devs it's like steering a boat...it's easy to overcorrect and then you have to correct going the opposite way.  I would suggest smaller changes to correct overpower and fine tune until you get there (you will have a LOT less angry customers). 

 

AION

 

Ok I am really looking forward to this MMO (and no I am not illegally gonna play on a Korean server).  The weird thing is the devs said the release will be fall of this year and Amazon (and other sites) still list release for May 26th.  It would have been smart to release in the early summer as people are getting out of school and are also getting bored with their current MMO's by that time.  Now with the fall release they will be fighting every other major MMO's yearly big expansion (and I know I won't want to change over at that time).

Agreed.

I'm still waiting for Devs to figure out making everyone underpowered at the beginning would only mean forward peddling through their reign.

Better yet recognize that everyone having the freedom to pursue power can be a balance in itself.

Agreed with both points here.

Someone should email them about this whole "summer" trend... it might help boost their sales.
