(I'm not posting the thread that was from since it was a balance post and apparently linking a balance post will get your post deleted!)

I would like to know what other playtesters have to say about this. Is 2.0 the result of some "very drastic and sudden changes" that you "didn't have time to test the balance issues"? Other playtesters please comment.

    Well, I'd also like to add that there were a few people against such changes. However, tha majority of the ... 'people playing' wanted to go with the current version, stating it was the "most balanced version to date".

    So ...

    Were there anything like clan scrims with the final version? Was this final version played as much as the others?

    If you didnt notice Talesin closes all ballancing related threads because nobody has played ns long enough to make serious ballance suggestions.
    SI forum closed.

    Why would you ask playtesters, if you didnt notice that, too, you have just become one.
    Clan wars cant be compared with public games.

    Tonzak, no

    We just got kinda bored one day and figured we'd try a whole lot of balance and gameplay changes, then, not even play the game.

    Cause well ... its just a lot more interesting that way, you know?

    And that should answer the question nicely, so we don't have any more veiled balance-threads.
