Speculation: They're switching to Final Fantasy 7 combat. Party on the left side of the screen, enemies on the right. Attack/Defend/Spell/Item/Flee!
(Why 7? Because it's the only one I've played. Wait, that's not true. I played 2 on a phone a few years ago.)
Edit: Maybe with Chrono Trigger combos thrown in! Dwarf fighter grabs elf mage's ankles. The mage casts Burning Hands, while the fighter spins through the enemies! Human barbarian throws halfling alchemist, who then throws bombs all around his/her landing point.

With all the discussions about how to fix ranged combat I think it is much more likely they will switch to space invaders for the combat system.

Or Missile Command, or even better: Dig Dug.

We will probably post the blog tomorrow. A couple of unresolved questions still circulating that need to be finalized before we post.
And no, we're not announcing any changes to the start of Early Enrollment.
Is it okay if I press F5 until then?

If it makes you happy....
While you are waiting for the blog, you can go read the write up for the survey results.

I think that additional posts about hitting F5, punctuated by commentary about the philosophical underpinning of F5-ness itself, and containing reviews of the history of the effectiveness of F5-ing, could serve the community well until the need to F5 passes...if it ever can.
...twelve-year-olds...
You sure we're 12 yet? Evidence seems scarce...

Actually 12 year olds are generally still in the rules-based behaviors, although females have already begun to form the myelin sheathing that acts as an insulator for the brain's neural axons allowing entire tracts of the brain to come online and leads to the questioning and abstract reasoning skills that are so important to adults. The following year the males begin to see these changes.
This is exactly why so many adolescents grow rebellious in their early teens: They are comparing what they have been taught (the rules) with what adults actually do... and most adults are found rather wanting compared to ideals.
Idealism is rightly thought a trait of the young. Thank goodness I never grew up...
I WIN!!!! HAHAHAHAH!!! j/k
I think this will sate, at least temporarily, blood-lusting members of the community :) I approve of all proposed changes.

Major Announcement!
Fanndis Goldbraid has won the first Miss River Kingdoms Beauty Pageant! Her rendition of "All Hail the Five Kings Mountains" was sung beautifully, and she remained unhurt when she was thrown from the Shaggy Wool Mountain Goat she was riding when she performed. Miss Goldbraid wore her pot steel swimsuit like no other in the history of the pageant, although she did have to make a quick costume change when the lightning storm came through!
A lot of this seems really good. The husk sounds funny, but I am willing to try it. Player targeting is a huge plus. I do hope there is some non-rep-loss pvp before WoT even if it's, as I said, free hexes.
I won't say anything negative about ranged. The decision has been made, and I am willing to try it before I make any comments.
Is there no notes on the recipes? I doubt they will be retroactively fixed, but that would be nice.
well, if you target someone with bottomed out rep, I think you only lose 10 rep, tops.

You should gain rep. no way to tell how many people will have bad rep, either. I just wanna see some pvp. I want to go fight a real fight. Dunno what the harm of adding some pvp hexes (similar to the free pvp a tower hex would have except... pre tower.)

PREPARE FOR THE RISE OF THE MELEE!!!!!!Use the bow to bring them in. Use the sword to finish them off.
Just shield charge then whirlwind with the right reactive feats set to go off.
I have been doing melee since it began and actually found it more effective than ranged a lot of the time. Especially with low level mobs.
The big difference in melee is you need to actually think about the synergy between feats and also between feats and gear and choose what you train and slot and what order you do stuff in carefully.

Does "various adjustments to resources and loot" include fixing the party loot bug, in which items like recipes were being split into non-functional fragments?Yep.
I don't think it will retroactively fix broken recipes, though, sorry.
A method to drop or destroy those broken recipes (along with any other unwanted stuff you collect) would be nice in that case

I might actually start using my dual short swords instead of my short bow constantly. Currently there has been little reason to use my short swords besides achievements.
I would like a function to get rid of items, especially all those broken recipes.

Not fixing existing recipes is okay with me. Knowing that it's fixed, I'll be more willing to play in a party.
Will we still lose 9000+ Reputation from a single kill?
God knows probably. Its the only thing keeping me out of PvP right now.
