Funcom comments on Martial Artists and the Importance of Implants
Here is today's daily update from Funcom:
Today we will talk a little bit about how we, here at Funcom, read the forums, and the best way for you to present your requests for changes to AO. After popular demand we will also discuss the viability of the Martial Artists, and the importance of implants, both of which address issues brought up on our forums.
First up, the Bulletin Boards. It seems many people are under the assumption that we do not take notice of all your postings on the boards. This is certainly not the case. We take note of all the feedback we get, and see it as an invaluable way to monitor the state of the game. However, when a lot of information is posted about problems, specifics can often get lost in a sea of words. The posts that help us the most are those that contain constructive arguments and criticism that contain detailed facts and offer solutions, if you can think of one. Often times, there are several ways for us to approach a problem. Seeing specific suggestions, along with exact details on what happens on your end when a problem occurs, is a lot easier for us to react to. Sometimes we might not be able to provide an answer as soon as a question is posted, because they are issues that have to be tested and we need to confirm the accuracy of them in order to give the best answer possible. Hence, the fact that we don’t answer straight away, doesn’t mean we have ignored the post or are unaware that the issue has been brought up.
We have lately seen a large number of Martial Artists write good, constructive reasons on why they feel their class is underpowered. We have been able to test this, and found that a lot of the issues brought to our attention seemed to be correct. With that in mind, the Martial Artist will be given more opportunities to deal some serious damage, something that will hopefully make the class what is was always intended to be. We appreciate all the feedback we received on this issue and are certain you will be pleased with the result.
Last, but not least, there are several calls from every profession on how their class is underpowered. The pure balance of the game is worked with and tested all the time. Make sure your character is all that it can be, and that you realise its potential. The importance of implants might have been overlooked slightly by some, and that could be one of the reasons you feel your character isn’t as powerful as it should be. That said, we’re not suggesting everyone with complaints has neglected their character and hasn’t realised its potential, we’re just saying there are so many ways of customizing each character, and some might be more effective (at least in the short run) than others. So, if you haven’t done so already, and you feel your character may not be as powerful as it should be, you may want to look a little further into various implants.
That’s it for today, and we’ll be back with another update tomorrow. Have a nice day:)
