Oh, of course--I'm just hoping to see what interesting OP combos playtesting yields (and has yielded). Blue Manchu seems to have some pretty sharp cookies on their side, so I'd be interested to hear some of their "war stories" discovering outrageous OP tactics that came to light on the board.
I think we'll find combinations that haven't been balanced as the Forum Hivemind will be much better positioned due to numbers and the fact we'll not be bound by developing the game and will possibly see things in a different way.
Every beta I've ever played confirms that 1,000 idiots can break a game much faster than 100 playtesters. I think it took like a week for duping to hit the Diablo 2 beta.
You be amazed at some idoits. "Think imma put a bunch of cloth armor on my warrior with a wooden stick for a weapon and see how that works. Oh! And my healer? doesnt need heals, give him a big warhammer. Ya that will totally work. Then i can have my mage use bows and arrows and see if he can do a lot of damage" Im sure with the lot of us, BlueManchu will be set before launch.
No, darn it, you didn't say "Overmind." No StarCraft references for me. I'll just have to run with it as-is. . . . So, my fellow communal hive-selves, how am I doing today?
