Its cause Syrk is god...
And ofc Syrk is the only Warlock

So... some immortal disclosure.Draugor wrote:Balanced according to the doc, personally I advocated OP'ness cause I did not even alittle trust the AoB at the time, the current one I trust when it comes to technical balance. (I question him on some design choices in some areas on the other hand) And according to him and the document they are apparently balanced. So thats a dead issue imo, and again, since its now on both sides, it doesent matter, even tho warlocks are slightly weaker
The main issue is that the EW have been controlled by the same few for ages, and its an OCC guild that controlls it, wich is stupid. And yes this deffo goes for AA and also monks even tho noone goes layman monk. The nepotism is quite extreme. And in all due honesty, hardcore rules and joining demands for laymans, council and other annoying crap for a fecking layman is just silly.
Knights not going EW was a thematic shitfest, not a balance issue. And in all fairness, just remove speed from the game, its always going to be a stupidly powerfull tool and if its not available to everyone without leaving their main guild its just horrible for the game aint it?
The issue of the last incarnation of vamps where the players and the wizard in charge of them, would I want vamps to have been properly balanced from todays standards? Gladly. There are alot more balancing tools and counters in the game today. And I'd be even happier to see bloodguards to todays balance standards as a neutral (alltho serving but free to join it just had an extra tier) layman guild that is pure combat would be damn nice. Especially since they didnt require a specific weapon.
We've been doing some further digging in to the quickness code. It is no secret that it has bugged me, and I don't think I am alone there. But by the numbers it is fine and balanced. IF, and this is the kicker, if everything else is working as it is intended to.
One of our industrious wizards has been doing some deep interrogation of the combat code for other purposes, and has uncovered a mistake with the formula for guild special attacks. It looks like guild special attacks provide more combat aid than they are supposed to... and at a magnitude of something like 270%.
Boom.
Anyway, stay tuned. This has pretty broad implications beyond quickness.
