Balance Discussion Meeting

any mod delete this plz

I may lurk on this; really not up to snuff on game balance so a learning opportunity would be neat.

Is the server TS2 or TS3?

Well the whole point is to gauge basically what people want to see and to bounce some ideas around. It's really nothing that formal, and it's an excuse for pow-wow

It's TS3!

Make sure someone takes notes so you all remember what you want to see.

I'll do a recording of it, it's fine

good idea, though I think the best way to discuss balance changes is separate forum threads for each topic (eventually a sub forum for balancing needs to be created, if the community's input is wanted big style).

Balancing is all about numbers and this can only be put right in text, so that everyone understands a discussion with lots of people in teamspeak probably will only be the start.

Agreed

I'll likely be there

A heads up OathAlliance and possibly Lokthar will be attending from Ballistic Logistics, wish I could be there myself but I'll listen to the recording. You guys should consider taking notes and updating the thread with what was discussed after the meeting takes place!

Seriously the only thing that makes any sence is the +1 -1 stuff. You say europe, I'm like sure, what part of europe, cuz time varies troughout it.

I'm +1 ffs and so is england and spain and italy and germany, and belgium, and ireland and switzerland and....


Anyways I'm in but as a reminder I'd like to know what the teamspeak adress is also.

Sounds like fun. I don't have mic but it will certainly be interesting listening to the debate -- I know that the current lineup of people are smart and informed enough to carry an interesting conversation.

I won't be able to be at the meeting live, but I will definitely be listening to the recording when its posted.

Minutes might also be good. Make notes of times that interesting stuff is said.

I got lost in the sea of comments are we using messenger pigeon or teamspeak? And if so what time?

It's on Teamspeak 3 at 18:30hrs UTC.

Moving on, I'm representing Ballistic Logistics and will need the handy little handout message thing. Also, I was wondering if we could stream this on Twitch(for those who may not be able to join in on TS3, but want to listen in as it happens)?

Sure - anyone who's in the meeting will be able to stream it to an external browser-viewable source. I'll make arrangements accordingly and put details in the OP

I'll make sure there's plenty on record for fuelling discussion afterwards

I appreciate it's a weekend, so not the best time for you guys (you seem to work about 12 hours a day Monday to Friday, I think an additional weekend stint might be a bit much!), but as per previous comments in the thread, it's the best time to get as many community members online as possible.

I don't quite see the point in this meeting. Uber has lots of balance changes they've already worked on and they'll be released with Beta. So any discussion we have here will be practically pointless until we see what changes and additions Uber does with Beta.

It's intended to be purely theoretical at this stage - a case of looking at where we are now (with the latest build, and comparing with previous builds) and where we want to be

Discussion is good and all, but any discussion we have now will be completely irrelevant since what we're working with now is drastically different than the changes Uber has already made. They're making some very drastic changes.

I'd be interested in one of these meetings a few weeks after Beta release. But now? Pretty much no point. :-/
