Horizontal all the way. I can say for myself, I look forward a lot more to learning a "different spell effect" then just getting a same spell with 100 damage more. For me, discovering new knowledge just got incentivized a LOT more.

It increases theory crafting possibilities which I enjoy a lot, and lets new players be a lot more competitive at the same time.

Yup, doing all that work for to get from R2 to R3 and just get more dmg is boring. Getting a different version wich synchronizes better with the gameplay I have in mind can be so much more rewarding.

@grofire I hope to never see that UO and DF elitism again. Ppl that grinded so much they became so powerfull vs the other 99% they just couldn't be beat.

If majoraty of the population is more or less even in power, then it is an achievement to be part of the 1% that the other 99% can't beat.

@grofire my sence of achievement will come from winning fair fights. Not because I win due to double DPS.

My achievement will come from winning Town Conquest, sieging. Succesfull raids etc. And my achievement will be bigger if my oponents where all just as strong as me.

@gofrit PvPing online since the late '90. More then double DPS between players is unfair match. No matter how the gameplay is and how long fights will take.

I'm using past tense here because the concept of leveling up spells to make them more powerful was indeed breaking horizontal progression in a way, and has therefore been removed in favor of acquiring alternate versions of the same spell, which can then be chosen during the resting phase as if they were different spells altogether An alternate version might be more effective (higher damage and so on), but if so, that's always offset by one of more parameters getting worse (typically higher mana cost and cooldown).

An alternate version of that spell is indeed waaaaaaaaaaay better then a big DPS increase. Thx for the update!

I'm worrying now, in pre-alpha, because they start testing with such a big DPS increase between rank 1 and rank 3.

If it was like 30% and it might go up or down a bit I would just wait and see how it plays out and give feedback while testing.

But with 150% more (yeah 250 was total, my bad) the whole idea that a new player can be competitive vs veteran players goes right out the window.

Might not be big deal for PvE content. But for open world PvP in 2/3 of the game it is a real issue.

@jetah if those numbers are the base of the testing, then I'm worried... If it was 10-30% increase I was at ease, not at 250%... Explring the world should be a fun option of the game. Not mandatory. That will turn it into a mindless grind like all the crap from Korea.

@jetah it's alot:

Damage per 60 sec at r1: 15CD+3CT is 18 sec. That is just 3 attacks in a minute a 520 dmg = 1560 per min

Damage per 60 sec at r3: 9CD+3CT is 12 sec. That is 5 attacks in a minute a 780 dmg = 3900 per min

That is an increase of 250% more damage!!!

This picture I saw got me worried, do you agree the CD changes of 15/12/9 and DMG increase from 520/640/780 is too much?

Damage per 60 sec at r1: 15CD+3CT is 18 sec. That is just 3 attacks in a minute a 520 dmg = 1560 per min

Damage per 60 sec at r3: 9CD+3CT is 12 sec. That is 5 attacks in a minute a 780 dmg = 3900 per min

That is an increase of 250% more damage!!!

Gratz all

After pre-alpha, they should hand out trial keys or buddy keys through the Foundation, to keep it going.

So here can I find a complete guide to all the +400 skills/abities? In time ofc

@pepix reverse the problem:

The ally within the alliance that is the attacker or defender in the siege supplies the gear for all that are participating in the siege. If you don't die and loose the gear you get to keep it. If you die and loose the gear you don't have to complain about it because the gear wasn't yours.

If there isn't enough time before the siege (wich shouldn't happen because there is a timetable, but just for the sake of this topic) the gear can be handed out afterwards as reward.

If anyone is foolish to bring their own expensive gear to a siege in a full loot game... then the joke is on you!

So less micromanagement and something extra for ppl that show up in time and help in the siege.
