So this appeared in the message of the day few days ago. After which the staff started live testing and changing the combat system, which resulted multiple broken weapon skills for couple of days, which may or may not have been fixed in the end.
As soon as the shard gained some player base, it seems like the staff has started fiddling with things without announcing them, without running them trough test servers or without even taking player input into things. We have counselors and players willing to test things and tell the staff their player opinion IF something should be changed. But none of these things are being done or even taken into consideration.
Even right now there is no proper announcement done about this refactoring, which literally killed classes who relied on archery.
I understand if changes like animal lore drop for archers and resist drop for priests which were announced a long time ago and which are reasonable changes are being put in place. But when you're literally taking away the core from a good class, which players enjoy playing, it's just not reasonable.
So I'd request that: staff refactors the combat so that it matches how it was before OR all the changes that refactoring combat made are reverted completely. Pangaea was decently well balanced in terms of combat system before, that needs no changing at this very moment.
