Balance is NOT possible - PROVE ME WRONG
" That's why this game never will get overwhelming positive reviews in steam... Dropped to mostly positive reviews becouse 60% of players are feeling the injustice treatment by Devs. You want RHOA for you Caveman , i want WAR HORSE for my Mercenary.... Fair treatment means Fair treatment! |

The game is trending upwards in recent reviews by 4% since 0.3, it is almost at 80% positive.

It's not about Balance, it's about viability.
Range is 3 times better than melee. Life is 3 times worse than ES. Only 1/5 of skills are effective. 4 ascendancies are 3x times better than the rest. It's not rocket science... |
|
" Indeed it's not but Devs let this astronomical differences destroying the game. Especially MS differences makes the party game unplayable. Mostly positive reviews should turn to positive sooner or later if caps don't prevent this mess. And it's not an excuse that the game is in middle of development. |

There will never be perfect balance and it's ok.
Matter of fact it may even be a good thing. If everything is perfectly balanced nothing can ever change and the meta will become stale very quickly. The problem happens when you have 1 or two skills/archetypes absolutely dominating everything by far, and on the other hand of the spectrum you have entire classes and skills be so far back they are basically worthless dog shit compared to the top performers. The balance doesn't have to be perfect, but it has to exist at least enough so that if you are not playing the meta archetype you don't constantly get the feeling of "what the fuck I am even doing with this character when other classes get 5x the amount of power with half the investment ?" |

Meta is the key to every mess in game. We talking about balance but not focusing in the right problem....
|
|
" How do you plan for a game to not have meta in 2025? I would love to hear your words of wisdom |
|
" It doesn't need to remove META, just to lower a bit the power it provides... |
|
|
giving the public early access was a mistake.
game needs a pre-purchase IQ test until 1.0. |

If they start to make monthly balance patches, which would consist of small changes in numbers in order to find a sweet spot of given ability/item/Node, we would eventually be at the closest thing to balance there is.
But that requires frequent updates and monitoring. |
