SK does not seem to be gimped. Sounds like they'll have a cast time 2h swing like the BST does for the big hits. Maybe goblin SK is back on the menu- or DE. The bonus rep gain option for them might make starting as DE quite a bit less painful. Probably will still wait it out for Troll SK , but that's gonna be a wait stil.

All 3 of the dives seem pretty nice actually. Faster dot ticks with the necro is pretty fancy- and even gay Rangers sound pretty cool.

In the post they state that Infravision is a temporary buff that will have extra abilities in the future, like outlining living beings, or some such. So it's a nerf across the board if people were going to pick it in order to lessen the effects of the shitty darkness "mechanic"... but yes, it's also gone as an option for Ogre and Dwarf (if those listed racials are comprehensive). They did give Gnomes and Gobos an Ultravision option though. Edit: misread Infra for Ultra

I ran around the stress test for an hour or so and Ultravision seems like it really has no downside (I can't see the castle way off in the distance... who cares). Dark Elves look better than woodies but when going over the newer race options/styles, woodies didn't look quite as much like the crack fiends I remember, either. I actually like the way Deep Gnomes look but short races still suck!

With the changes to Infravision, how stupid the dark mechanic is, and the total lack of Ultravision spells, anyone not choosing Ultravision is shooting themselves in the foot.

They added like 3 more light source options with these traits and class deep dives. Crank the gamma and surely another person in your group can supply light.


On a seperate note, the lack of tanks is concerning. I may have to roll up an Inquisitor.

I feel they really took the SK players reaction to their proposed changes and made changes thereof. 1) by listening or 2) could not get their beast ability system to work in time sooooooo

Either way, I will take it...

I was good not playing EA, as pally was the only thing I wanted to play and I did that in Beta, yeah only to 30 but.. I got it, it was okay... it is a perfectly good class and just needs refinement in dmg output and re-working of utility back in that was "lost" with the change.

But actually now, may want to get in for SK.. Deep Elf SK should be worth a month or two of sheckles and see how this works out.

Glad they kept the pet. The rest is all fine and well, but really the pet retention is what made it a sub honestly. The pet seems to share a lot of mechanics with WOW warlock, and that i was I mained in classic WoW (pvp server at that!..whew)

Anyone playing on a M-series mac, know of anything to do to boost performance? I am using the terminal command thing that auto runs a crossover thing... I also am on an old version of cossover as I only bought it like 2 years ago (for MnM alpha stress tests lol) - so maybe newer crossover versions "work better"?

All the classes look decent enough.

I'm just not gonna give a shit about this world until I hear some story.

I thought I was going to sub for EA launch but I just don't care enough yet.

It'll happen though.

Checking the Mac support threads is probably the best bet. I think the community launcher thing someone cooked up seems like it’s the goto now.

Light sources don't matter for the problems I have with it, which is running across zones, whether it be to get to a camp or farming tradeskill mats, since it's much harder to plan your path. Even with a light source, you have a decent chance running into a mob's agro range before you see it in the stupid darkness bullshit.

Running from NH to Vale takes 20+ minutes, just for you to get killed by a wolf because you couldn't see it soon enough is retarded. The deserts aren't even the worst outside zones at night.
