Après le revamp du LU 13, voici la suite, le LU 24

Voici ce que l'on trouve comme annoncement actuellement en test et pret a débarquer sur nos serveurs en live.

Rien à fair pour stoper la machine, comme d'hab, ils décident, et nous subissons.

Désolé pour les anglophobes, mais cet article est en anglais et les "nerfs" (diminution de la puissance et de l'utilité d'un sort) sont tellement nombreux que ça ne me donne même pas l'envie de le traduire en français.

En tout cas, bien que la communauté francaise sur le forum de Storms soit très "calme" et ne semble pas se douter de ce qui se prépare, les forums US bouillonnent et personne ne veut de ses modifications de gameplay dans les classes, du moins dans l'état actuel des choses.

Here's an up-to-date list of the changes (primarily with control spells) currently on Test (or on shortly), courtesy of Lockeye:

Spells and Combat Arts

Bonjour,

Bon je n'ai pas regardé toutes les classes MAIS :
Il n'y a pas que des trucs négatifs et visiblement c'est pour mieux valoriser leur systeme d'achievement.
Personnellement je ne me mettrais à pleurer que lorsque j'en verrai les effets.
Vu de ma petite cours et avec les classes que je connais il ya encire dégradation mais pas mort d'homme.
De toute facon à force de nerfer ils vont bien finir par avoir le jeu le plus pourris du marché et dégouter leur joueurs les plus fideles.
Au finale beaucoup d'energie de gaspiller pour se tirer une balle dans le pied.
En ce qui me concerne tant que je trouve des gens sympa avec qui mourrir sur EQ2 et tant que je peux soloter je reste.

Et maintenant que nous sommes a 2 doigts d'avoir 2 groupes complet 40+ je vais pas tout larguer.

Aller a tres bientot sur Norrath.

PS : Je suis en congé pendant 5 jours donc à début Juin pour buter du Djinn.
