[Githlith]

Mich irritiert ja ein bisschen, dass es mit diesem Update keine Klassenüberarbeitung gibt. Ich dachte, sie würden da jetzt sauber dranbleiben und mit jedem Update und sogar zwischendrin ab und an ein bisschen was Rumfummeln - im ausgewählten Rahmen.

[JoePhi]

Wundert Dich das wirklich? Mit dem Anstieg auf Levle 75 müssen sie sowieso jede Klasse wieder anpacken ... ich würde bei dem thema sowieso nur balancen und immer nur zu den Erweiterungen größere Umbauten vornehmen. Die letzten Änderungen kamen wohl daher, dass sich seit dem Düsterwald nix mehr im Level bewegt hat ... und dass eben bis Isengart keine großen Verbesserungen mehr kommen ...

[Githlith]

Richtig, ich dachte deshalb, dass sie bis zu Isengard allen noch einen kleinen Pimp verleihen. Aber dann wohl nicht =) ... Wird auf jeden Fall langsam eng. Was fehlt noch? Waffi, Hüter, Wächter .... Sonst noch was?

[Valandir]

Wirf mal nen Blick ins Hüterforum  

[Githlith]

Habsch gesehen. Aber ich hätte erwartet, dass sie das Zeug jetzt noch bringen, damit man auch noch ein bisschen damit spielen kann, bevor alle Klassen 10 Levels ansteigen und alles wieder von vorn beginnt. Wegn einem Dutzend Wochen muss man doch nicht noch ein solches Klassenupdate reinwürgen.

[Mabusian]

Das ganze Hüter-/Jäger-/Wächterzeug kommt erst mit Isengarth. Alles andere würde mich wundern. Merric von CSTM hat glaub ich von der PAX gezwitschert, dass sie alle Devs jetzt auf Kurs Isengarth haben. Oder stand das in einem der anderen PAX-Berichte?

Apropos Hüter. Das Gambitsystem finde ich wirklich schick gemacht und mir macht mein Hüter Spass. Nur wie wollen sie den "weiterentwickeln"?  Neue Gambitmöglichkeiten gibt es nicht mehr wirklich viele. Ein Gambitfeld mehr würde auch nicht mehr wirklich spielbar sein. Mir kommt das Konzept "Hüter" mal wieder typisch turbine vor. Eine recht gute Idee, zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt auch wirklich gut und witzig, in der Weiterentwicklung aber sehr unglücklich. Einen Langzeitplan für irgendwas scheint da keiner zu haben.

Ja gut, so kann mans auch machen. Wäre rein vom Gefühl her allerdings etwas schade, da man sich ja mit Isengard eh weiterentwickelt. Diese Klassen (Hüter/Waffi/Wächter wärs glaub ich eher. War der Hauptmann schon dran?) hätten dann ein All-in-one... Naja

Hüter -Gut braucht ne Überarbeitung, bei dem fehlen in meinen Augen ein paar Rettungsskills
Wächter -Also ein guter Wächter muss sich vor nichts fürchten, in Rot macht er gut Schaden und findet kaum was ebenbürtiges.
Waffenmeister -Eigentlich wie beim Wächter, der Schaden ist selbst auf Sinlgetarget einer der stärksten oder sogar der stärkste, mir würde jetzt nur die Überarbeitung von Eifer/Ruhm einfallen, die Aufwertung von Leidenschaft finde ich persönlich schon iweder als zu viel des guten
Hauptmann -War schon dran, hat aber nebst einem neuen Skill (Schneller Schlag) und diesen komischen Tonics eig. nichts neues gebracht, also kein wirkliches Update (welches allerdings auch nicht umbedingt nötig ist). Was mir einfallen würde wäre ein stärkere Ausprägung der Traitlinien, evtl. mit Haltungen (Heilhaltung ("Kräftige Stimme Numenors"), Schadenshaltung ("Wut Gondors") und Supporthaltung zu koppeln ^^

“Fog of War” on the world map no longer exists. You will now be able to see the world map in its entirety without having to visit every area.

Aha, die Karte ist nun schon bei Spielbeginn aufgedeckt. Finde ich irgendwie schade.
Aber war eh oft verbuggt und gerade aus diesem Grund haben sie den Fog of War dann gleich ganz deaktiviert

Jo, typisch Turbine:
"Wir sind zu doof es ordentlich zusammenzufrickeln - als deaktivieren wir es gleich ganz."

(Diesem Post gäbe ich btw. im offiziellen Forum keine 2 Stunden + Infraction für mich   )

[Thurindilphor]

Dein Nick drüben ist Valandir_MUC oder?! Hier soll ja angeblich einer von drüben mitlesen

Denn Sinn des Fog of War hab ich ehrlich gesagt nie so ganz verstanden...
Aus rein athmosphärischer Sicht ises natürlich schade, schon alle Orte zu kennen bevor man da war.

[Amrundir]

Sind dann die POIs (die kleinen Fähnchen) auch schon aufgedeckt, oder muss man die wenigstens noch entdecken.


Die waren zur letzten Beta übrigens auch verbuggt: ich komme mit einem Char zum ersten Mal vom Auenland nach Evendim (Hafergut) und alle NHH-Fähnchen waren schon da. Hab dann auf den Live-Servern vergessen zu schauen, ob es noch so ist...

[Thurindilphor]

Bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass es so war!
Ist mir auch bei den NHH-Fähnchen aufgefallen

Ich hoffe in Zukunft trifft das nicht auf die komplette Karte zu.

[Thindu]

Entdecker-BdTs wären dann eigentlich auch sinnfrei. Man weiß dann ja eh wos is...

Ich finds aus Sicht der Logik nicht so tragisch. Diese Gegenden sind ja nicht unerkundet, wenn ich mich hineinwage. Also kann es auch schon existierende Karten geben. Wies dann in Wirklichkeit aussieht, sehe ich ohnehin nur, wenn ich hinreite.
