The 50% skill nerf ? +HA & CHA boost ?

Sigh, no ammo waste when no target... equipping items for free... just sounded too good.

Whatever they changed, it's beyond my understanding why they simply don't tell what they did and explain why they did it.

Not telling means:

* one could get the impression they are trying to hide nerfs by mentioning positive changes only
* people play forums instead of the game
* negative changes get more attention, already due to the mere fact that they become research projects
* a lot of "bad press", just imagine potential players look at EU forums these days

Imo even a worst case explanation like "We wasted development resources due to some wrong decisions and need more money to fund further development, we apologize and will make our best efforts to avoid these kind of issues in future" would be better than nothing.

 

nice graph there OpaloMan, might be a nice one for the wiki, will have to go and build one now :)

 

Summary: There are several reports by several people that the creatures whose "threat level calculation ... has been adjusted to more accurately reflect difficulty and danger level" (14.0 Release Notes) give less skills than before.
