Classleads

Classlead submissions are now open! HELP CLASSLEADS describes the process, if you aren't familiar with the specifics.

Each player with at least one Transcendent skill worth of invested lessons and sufficient activity may submit reports. Up to 8 reports are permitted per player (this includes alternate characters).

Report gathering will end in nine days - that is on Friday 4th October, at around 14:00 GMT. The commenting stage will follow afterwards.

Depending on the submitted and approved requests, we may do a short beta to test some of the changes - I'll post more details if we do end up doing this.

Finally, a couple of tips to increase the chance of approval for your report:

- When describing the problem that you are trying to address, avoid using terms such as 'underpowered' or 'overpowered', and don't compare individual profession abilities against those of another profession or circle - each profession is meant to stand on its own merits, and any such comparisons more often than not produce misleading results.

- Try to come up with original ideas where possible - requests to copy abilities from one profession to another are unlikely to be approved, unless a convincing reason is provided.

- Avoid asking that abilities are deleted - if you feel that an ability is "broken beyond repair", so to speak, proposing a different functionality for the ability is much more likely to be approved.

- Avoid asking for too much - solutions that require significant additions or alterations to multiple abilities, or even whole skillsets, are less likely to be approved due to time constraints.

- If you are proposing a new ability as a solution to a problem, I'd recommend to include an alternative solution that resolves the problem by tweaking an existing ability instead - adding new abilities is usually more time consuming that adjusting existing ones. Obviously, this will not always be possible - use your best judgement.

- Classleads are primarily meant for combat changes. While small utility-oriented reports are perfectly fine, bigger requests will probably be deferred to ideas.
