BEFORE READING! We've changed our forums, they are WAY better now. The weebly ones were killing me so we made it pro.boards a little registration is required, but whatever, won't kill you. =P.
~~UPDATED FORUMS HERE~~
DEV Nightmare can never figure out if a spell is good enough or not... So, we've done the next best thing. Instead of having 8 different spells doing the same thing but one a little better then the other, we're naming spells to have RANKS Next to them (Thank you Jahar). An example;
Rebuke I -- Adds 500 Hate
Rebuke II -- Adds 700 Hate
Rebuke III -- Adds 900 Hate
So on and so fourth. Spells will drop in zones, as you may have figured by now.
So now the question is, with spells being done this way, will this server really start you at at level 50? Or not. This is being debated on and there will be a place to voice your opinion either here or on our forums. The reason it's up for discussion instead of staying it way it was, doing spells this way opens a LOT of advancement and makes things a ton easier, example;
You could be in a zone leveling, you hit level 10 and go to the next zone, the first mob drops; 'Spell Token 1-10' you're thinking 'hmm, now I don't have to go back and farm those spells I was missing!' and BAM 1-10 is learned once you turn it in, same thing goes for the next zone and the zone after. It would stop at 50 where they would turn into Tier spells, and you would have to earn the spell scrolls... Anyway, that's still being talked about, but not until after beta. Beta everyone will be 50 and farming gear in Tier//Normal zones. (Since it's Z1, Z2 and T1 on Beta open). Everyone will know after all of the content has been tested what the final decision will be. =).
We aren't *PLANNING* on a char wipe after beta? But if it happens, people will know before hand, and you WILL be granted some 'Oh look you helped us in beta' stuff. :P
