I'm curious if there is a scheduled date or an idea of when HR will be going 'live' ? Also I am curious if the combat system will be more descriptive more so with spells. I am going to use the hated name here... but I liked the graphic descriptions in DR when I chopped something to pieces or I zapped it. |

Just a tip: Don't ask when HR is going live, there is absolutely no way of knowing. Besides, this "beta" version is better than most live games, so just enjoy it, and it'll go live when it goes live. As far as I can tell, there's still lots of work to be done to the systems before Live, anyway. |

I think the same thing all the time. THIS isn't live? Many times, I try to explain to my friends from other games, when I ask them to come try HR. To say it's not 'live', they immediately think of other games that they might have played alpha. To me it's already a live game, an awesome, kick ass live game. It'll probably be a huge shock to me when everything does change and it goes to the next step.
I'm looking forward to it, but I'm just as happy with the way the game is now. _________________ All explorers are seeking something they have lost. It is seldom they find it, and more seldom still that the attainment brings them greater happiness than the quest. |

i meant in terms of content, but yeah, i've found odd parser bugs that just come off as funny (thanks for fixing whittling, Rikiar!) _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

Combat will be rewritten from scratch for Live, and the messaging engine will be beefed up. I think our existing combat system is pretty decent - consider all the things it supports such as an array of brawling attacks, dual wield weapons, ambush attacks, very complex attack resolution, a myriad of damage types, creatures with correct anatomies and relative wound penalties, etc etc. Still, we're looking to make improvements in Live based in part on experiences in the current test/beta phase. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato
