| Author | Transcript of Interview with Maxim (adm) - 27/9/2017 (part 1) |
|---|
| RG should be deleted. |
| is this a joke? from the transcript I can conclude the admin is not understand about the statistic of the game, balancing? I dont care. will look, will look. |
| I think of the admins, Maxim and Alexander have very different roles. In this case, Maxim is less aware of the statistical side of things than Alex (well at lesat this is implied, I hope it is true!) |
for krabylos:
Two different Admins, looking after two different aspects of the game, if you will.
From what I understand;
Maxim (the admin doing the interviews) is the one who does a lot of the coding and functional stuff. If he is unaware about something like balancing, page design, changes to formulas etc. it's because Alexander is responsible for that.
When Maxim says he will need to check, it's because it is not his responsibility, it might be something that Alexander deals with. |
| Yup I agree, that's what the interview implied. But in either case the interview should have been done with Alexander I think, as most of the questions I felt were more suited for Alexander to answer. |
Btw this is the full russian transctipt.

If anyone has time to read, it would be great if you can summarize some of the key points not translated to English yet.
PS: You can go to the link and if you are using chrome, the translate function makes it pretty understandable. |
I had a quick read of it (in english) wouldn't say there was too much excitement in there.
My favourite ones were when red asked maxim if it would be possible to send gold for art repair the same time as sending art, and maxim asked can he not do it separately? xD
And the reason for the timer in dungeon event etc is to build the atmosphere.
Dwarf coming soon.
They still thinking about daily or so rewards, could be gold could be potions (Google translate said buns so I'm guessing)
They might consider ABC for longer periods of time (shorter was shot down) |

Yeah it sounds kinda lazy on the players' part :P
But I think if admins make it so that you can select what percent you can pay, like say for 101% you can just type 101 in the % box, it can be pretty convenient for ppl who repair a lot, but oh well still not a big deal.

You mean for the same cost(50k), effectively making it cheaper? |
Doubt it, probably 100k for 2 months, if that makes sense.
Just saves the player a bit of a headache. |

selecting abc every month when you need it is actually very convenient. If its buying more longer, i think it should end up being slightly cheaper cost-wise. |
If I understood it correctly, we can expect (note that this is google translate so it's very possible that mistakes sneaked in and I did not understood everything):
- CG rework: leagues of player according to success and activity, being in better league will have extra rewards, like more guild points or gold reward. Second CG set like the plunderer set for thieves. Reintroducing old 2v2 and 3v3 formats is considered.
- Some reward for new records (hunter and MG?), nothing too big though
- Auto-button for players that have been ambushed
- There will be a dwarf event like the last pirate one (playing with faction units, so probably alt dwarf).
- There will be an event before the dwarf one, if enough time it will be completely new type of event |
| Oh and UCI price will decrease. |
- There will be an event before the dwarf one, if enough time it will be completely new type of event
Hmm if this "new event" is still not really created then it sounds like they'll take quite a while before alt dwarf. Since they also say "if enough time" I think the event is still in the making process... but they don't wanna delay dwarf more than a certain point(hence the "enough time"). I think 3 months is the max it should take them for alt dwarf based on this.

I doubt it takes even 10 seconds to buy a new abc :P I think the goal is to not give players less headache, but to make it less accessible, and discourage less active players. For many 100k at once is too much. Also this puts inactive players at a disadvantage, as you have to buy it for a longer time now. |

We will get dwarf before the end of the year, so less than 2 months. |

The option will be there, they won't remove the standard 50k/month. :)
I personally would take 100k/2 months, mostly just to save myself those 2 seconds. :P |
Good to see they want to balance tribal shamans and dark barb's ogres.
actually blood shaman means shadow and fury barb not tribal shamans,this translation is wrong
"The changes are planned for the barbarian-shaman, blood barbarian"
barb shaman is shadow barb and blood barb is fury |
| blood can mean spirit (besides being a slang for fury barb) and they are talking about magical damage dealt by shamans. We know that orc shamans don't deal magic damage so it is not very ambiguous. I think the plan is to somehow nerf tribal shamans for blindfold tournaments at least. |
for virtual_vitrea:
It would need a nerf in PvP overall. Defense build with infinite mana and x3 SP is balanced against offense builds but laughably OPed against defense. |
"The changes are planned for the barbarian-shaman, blood barbarian, bonuses. The VS will change the bonus hitpot from ogres to something else"
pretty sure it doesn't refer to tribal,we'll see |
for Fallen Atheros:
Indeed, it's spelled exactly as in castle page, "varvara-shamana" so you're probably right. |
