Changes to POBs

[TonyB]

The Team was always onboard with Zentor's changes. All active developers agree on a fact that the PoB gameplay should be more balanced than it is now and gameplay options expanded. However, these changes are not being implemented by Zentor, but by other staff members and contributors.

Ores were to be reduced initially, but in the middle of development process, it was decided to keep them around anyway. That is a prime example of why leaks by former staff members and other sources are counter-productive and even at odds with what is happening if the patch is still WIP. And should we be fully transparent as some players want, the community could be easily confused and even discouraged by our constantly changing plans and other adjustments. The development is an organic process thanks to the discussions we have and not everything is set in stone.

We thank you for your patience.

Well, in the case of the ores, i am glad they did. Agreed, the development is an organic process, but in any democratic process, the players should be heard also. And following decisions should be based upon the general wishes...
