Then ever class to needs to be worked out aswell.

There is many kinks in every class....fixing one will get you well 1/8(if there is 8 classes) of the way done? Aka nowhere.

Exactly what I wanted to write, but you said it much better

1/8th is more then 0/8th and therefore progress.

Many players have a second account primarily so they can multi client with a ShM.

If monkeys require an active player to run them there is little point in having a second account.

I notice that some posters are from my own team. I also know that we , like most teams have difficulty in getting squads together to do ubers and proposed runs are frequently aborted because of lack of players. If you make the ShM requirements more difficult to the extent that people are not inclined to MC then there will simply be less uber runs.

Why do you struggle to get enough players?
The game has a small player base.

Why does the game have a small playerbase?
Overly simplistic combat mechanics and boss encounters.

I really must disagree with the combat being overly simplistic. In most MMOs, you press a button and watch your character fight the enemy, sometimes pressing a key for him to cast a spell or use a special ability. You do not dodge, you do not aim, ect. All in all, Star Sonata has one of the more involved combat systems I have seen in an MMO.

Base slots, mission slots and forcing ShMs to do more than nothing doesn't mean multiclienting will be impossible, it will just require a little bit more multitasking. I'm fairly sure C2 will support multiple monitors (if not, implement please), which will make MCing a lot easier.

Are you saying you want me to stop voicing my thoughts about my favorite class? You may be my leader, but you can't take that right off me.

to me at least it doesn't seem like he's saying that to you. rather to the admins that if you make MCing too difficult you will screw over small teams with a few players with multiple accounts each, those that need to MC to make up numbers on a run.

simple solution stop living like mormons and recruit more active players. ubers shud not be easy unless u are a weak team and indicating this would dry up uber runs on your team implies you therefore are a weak/small team and there are ways to combat that. for most teams in the top 20 on leaderboard this would add variety and lead to more uber runs if anything

Gee I thought we were discussing the implications of a rejig of SHMs, Ashta.

Shorty I would be the last person to muzzle your right to free speech, however ill considered.

The changes sound really nice but who is working on the seer/sniper items? The above mentioned classes need what you are doing no doubt but they are hardly neglected. Seer and sniper on the other hand are the red headed step child of SS. Any ideas on when these classes will be worked on? Leo

Any multiple account player worth his salt has an ShM on one account and a Zerker on the other so they can "solo" anything but emp and lion every time their lockout ends. If anything, taking that ability away would probably lead to more team runs in most teams.

Can someone tell me if this is in yet?
