Testlive patching up.

Good day, this is the Informer.


Another day, another patch on testlive. No rogue revamp, but good nerfing all around, and especially with demos. International Whine Prediction Center has given AoC-testlive forums the "code red" status as they predict a massive influx on whine and terrible cheese.


The whole 1.05 seems to be about nerfs. Everything is nerfed damagewise, and most classes even defensive wise. Why? To put is short; funcom wants to make a happy game with very little imminent danger. No-one can one-shot, no-one can two-shot. No-one can even three shot, you need to whack your keyboard until you bleed to actually kill another player.
Except for assasins, who are quickly becoming the most useless class ever invented. No defense, no offense means you guys will be the cannon-fodder other classes will feed upon.


Raiding took more nerfs also, and the difficulty level seems to be on par with live now. However, few bosses are still hard and most bosses have had their "exploit tactics" fixes, so guilds that have done a lot of kite-tactics or have used the "slaughter the poms, the guards and ress em up"-tactic with AB are in big trouble now; you need an actual strategy to kill them in 1.05, not some cheap exploit of game mechanics. This is good, and hopefully FC doesn't introduce more bugs like those.

Informer over and out.
