Rant! (Based on the Producer's Letter)

All I can say on this is to to have faith in the devs and the older testers. These issues are well known to both devs and testers and you can rest assured there are lengthy debates in the beta forums over such things. I think it's safe to say that nothing is being changed on the whim of a few testers who played the game a couple of times. If there is a balance issue change made, it will most likely be done by the agreement of the majority of the testers and the devs. No change is made lightly or frivolously. I feel there is also the awareness that the game play will be different from when there are just a few people fighting to when there are hundreds. So keep the faith that devs and testers will do the best they can to address these concerns.

The main difference here is that DAoC is class based. If they nerf your class you're basically screwed because you spent months getting him to a competitive level.

But for this game there is no "classes" and you're already competitve as soon as you start the game (no leveling process), and if they nerf an ability to the point that you find it useless, it's so easy to respec out of it unlike DAoC.

Apples and Oranges here since nerfs in this game are far less crippling and I'm sure they're only nerfing OBVIOUS things that are unbalancing at this point.

*edit* - also that's a different company...Mythic has proven time and again that they don't even have enough resources to properly run their 1 halfway successful game...I don't expect that from Sony who is working on their second generation of MMOG's and who still holds the title for most successful MMOG to date.

I know I will probably get flamed for this...but oh well. I want this game to come out on June 20th. Why? you might ask, it's very simple really.
I know I'm going to get sucked into it, and I need to get into university, so if it comes out on June 20th school will be over and i wont have to worry.
If it comes out early, GREAT! I will just have to hold out on buying it. But waiting 1 month(may19) is a lot easier than 3(march25).

I'd still like to get into the beta though
