It's late and I should be asleep.....
Patch 1.03 was released today for Fat Princess and I just wanted to get a few of my thoughts down (If you don't have it yet, SHAME ON YOU).
So far, I haven't encountered any people who sabotage games. But of course, they'll come out of the wood work sooner or later. Thus, the lack of kicking really hasn't been much of a problem but I would still like to see some kind of scheme in place as opposed to everyone just leaving the game when one arse decides to cock it up for everyone.
My concerns about the shorter range for the Dark Priest may have been a bit rash. In comparison, the new tweaks are fine and it ensures that the DP is definitely a support character rather than a one-man army. Although, as a support class, I think maybe his speed should have been increased a little. Just so the poor buggers who are on their own have at least a chance of escaping if a group of 10 enemies consisting of adv. Warriors and Rangers are hot on his tail.... *ahem*
The lack of knock back seems fine so far, but I'm still a little miffed, purely because I think the increase in Warrior's attack damage would compensate for this.
To be honest, the new team balancing method during matches is great. I don't have any problems with it and I've used it myself a couple of times (although, once was by accident) but I can't really see many people using this. Sure, there's the incentive of getting 300 points when you switch over, but I've noticed that people haven't really taken advantage of this. I've been on teams which have been short of players and the opposite team just don't pick up the balls. Why? Because when (for example) the red team loses two game in a row, people start to leave that team (or switch if possible). This makes the game uneven and the balls start to drop for blue players to pick up. HOWEVER, the blue team members don't bother picking them up whether it may be because they're loyal to the team (haha, yeah...), they're playing with friends or simply because the majority of decent players have already changed to the winning teams or left. But, this has nothing to do with Titan Studios really.
I love the new control scheme. I no longer need to hold the control the way I did before when I played as a DP (it has been nicknamed, THE CLAW). Although there are times when I find myself automatically doing it....
New Pork is great fun, although I'm not as excited as I was about the other stuff. It's a huginormous map with plenty to do (but I find myeslf collecting wood most of the time rather than actually enjoying myself); however, it really does need to be played with a full team of 16. Otherwise, it gets pretty lonely in areas because the other three people playing are in another area.
I don't like the colour loading screens..... I prefer the old colour-less pictures....
Haven't had a chance to check out the confetti setting. And does anyone know why I'm getting the "New ways to Get Fabulous unlocked!" message? I already had everything before the update. So does this mean that more stuff has been added? But then, it wasn't mentioned in the update on their blog, so what gives??
Ahh, so tired. I'm hating assignment 4 for Health Econ. Freaking idiot in our group has got the wrong research stuff and I'm having trouble finding my own data so I don't have the time to correct hers. GAH!
Right, time for bed methinks. I have an early lecture, a class and a very late lecture tomorrow. Oh boy, it's going to be a loooooong day -_-
I hate Fridays.
