Wow... These things better not hit very hard or pvp is going to be way more out of whack than it already is.

How are you supposed to throw a boomerang with two hands?

 

[JoO]

I would assume it would be alot easier than conjuring fire out of thin air.

I would expect an update to the site again in the near future for the skills.

We've been working out important revisions to Throwing and Imbuing within the closed beta test, and a major Throwing update is currently in testing that involves two new special moves, balancing the other ones assigned to the weapons, making strength and distance have meaning, penalties for using a shield, etc.

We can't just blindly post those changes on the website, however, until we're done *making sure they work* Let's just say we found the need, after a very successful round of tester feedback, to look again at how the skills were being implemented!

So: these things aren't necessarily set in stone, and we'd love to get your feedback, but please don't feel offended if we don't respond to every issue on these boards (since we may already be addressing it with testers under an NDA)

SAAAYY! Did Draconi just violate the Beta NDA?

 

[JoO]

lol, thanks for the reply Draconi. I was just confused because thorwn was looking like it was just going to be the ONLY choice and become pretty OP in the process.

Fixing something from beta before it hits live?? wow that is new for you guys. Always seems like the biggest complaint from any beta before was of things that were known and never fixed prior to release. That change alone is the best one I have seen. kudos
