no no no no no no no no no no no no no no NO!!!!

They have already buffed kheldians lately, when used correctly they can become tank mages! If they are looked at again, then a buff to the lower level but nerf to the highers will happen!
I like my warshade as it is! Liked that i had to learn how to play it properly

That bit has me a bit stumped to be honest. Why the increase to 7? Know its a good feature dont get me wrong, just wondering what caused them to implement it now.

If you wanted to be technical you could say we havent had the last THREE website updates that they have

The update for it though is in the News > Game Updates part of the eu website. I cant really bring myself to nit pick TOO much though, even though i WANT to sooooo badly

Thats also in i17 due out in april though

Oh please please please please!

Ok i can see your problem right here. No screen.

Sorry, just always wanted to reply in a technical thread

Thanks Avatea for posting and letting us know

Edit: Would it be possible to let us know of any updates too?

Ah i love those trailers Just seeing them makes me want to log on right now!

The first two years was great over in the EU. I personally wasnt here for the first few months when the EU side launched but have been here ever since. As with most games, the general population would obviously decline as time goes on and everybody accepts it.

However . . . . . . when a major new expansion comes out and its been hailed as the potential saviour of our EU servers within a lot of the playerbase [just log in to any of the EU servers and ask around, most people would say it], and then we get told its not being placed within our stores then i feel we personally have a right to feel generally worried and concerned for our "homes".

Not one person so far has said that having it as a download is a bad idea [more options always welcome], the problem being stated is that there is now a fear that our servers will continue to decline due to no new players. The US ones should flourish and rightly so from the new expansion, old players and new ones will be coming back to check it out.

Let me give a very good example too. Which of the following servers would you pick if your a new player?

EU: 4 servers, 2 of which are english, 1 german and 1 french.
US: 12 servers [iirc? Cant really remember off heart without looking]

EU: Union tends to peak at just over 200 players mark. Defiant just over half that. Vigilance just under half it and the german server [sorry cant really remember how to spell it] everytime i've logged on to it hasnt been over 50.
US: Majority of your servers have a lot more players than our busiest one. If worried about players being on at different times, then freedom/virtue would be fine since even your "lowest numbers" beat our peaks.

EU: Population slowly declining with no real advertising/merchandising to give the belief that it'll grow
US: Both GR and AE boxsets will have been available within stores in just over a year difference to give customers the impression that its a constantly growing business/game and would get new players.

We all have a lot of group of friends ingame who we like to talk/play too, but if theres no new players coming in then whats the motivation to keep us here? I dont want to play on a "private server" as such. I've even logged onto the french and german servers from time to time to team with people who i dont know [still love teaming with the french players!]. The EU population is currently a very loyal bunch of people who have for the last 3 years seen our community reps/communication dwindle constantly. Merger of the forums helped greatly with the communication part and we are only now starting to see dev/mod created events on our servers too.

Seemed like it was starting to pick up and that the future seemed bright with GR, now . . . . all the bad memories are coming back

Deserving? What makes the EU less deserving may i ask?

Havent even read the thread, i just saw this title and thats more than enough for you to be busted

Those trailers in all honesty would put me OFF the game They show 100% nothing about whats good about the game.

I very rarely go into a store of any kind thinking "im going to buy this", im one of those people that if i spot something that catches my eye, i'll buy it

True we dont know what kind of advertising there'll be. I know that it'ld be foolish to suddenly expect freedom level of new players just from the boxset, if i was being realistic i'ld say that peak time Union numbers would rise from the 200 mark to just under 400 at the most. We'll obviously get players coming back who have left and new players who like yourself will see it via steam [as an example], but the number of new players would be considerably lower than if it had a boxset too.

Take for example champions online. I have zero intention of downloading it, just doesnt take my fancy. However seeing it in my Game store for something like a fiver with a free months play, i admit i was tempted to pick it up [i didnt though but was a lot more tempted].

I've turned into a proper doomsayer last year or so

What he said

The chances of somebody giving us a response other than the usual stuff we get is very low imo.

This is what im hoping for to be honest.

When i was on the US servers i was able to create alts that was purely supportive and the way that i wanted them to be. I know for a fact that on the EU servers, every toon i make has to be able to solo since i know most of the time i will solo. True i like to solo a lot but when i was getting nonstop invites US side i did make team based toons and it felt good and different.

I'll always have somebody to play with EU side i feel and will more than likely be part of this game/community for quite a while yet. From a business point of view it does make sense to class EU players as not as important as the US market, but still . . . . . getting a bit fed up of EU players getting shafted every few months.

Honestly thought the EU players were starting to get rewards and better treated lately.

Question: Is there any point in pre orderin GR now since we can just click "download"?

Hello new player! So your in a shop looking for a fun new game to play huh? Well try this game we have here right on our shelves!

Dont get in the middle of us EU players

You made me go check the website!!! You made me "bustable!!!!"
