Hello everyone, I want to send a message to MO developers. This message comes from Chinese MO forum, and I hope you can consider it carefully.
Last week, our forum made a vote about the balance problems of MO. Here is the result:
Total voters: 87
Number of people who suggest MO still has something imbalance, and a balance team is needed: 66 (75%)
Number of people who suggest MO still has something imbalance, but Speeder and other developers could handle it: 9 (10%)
Number of people who suggest MO is balanced enough: 12 (15%)
What I want to say isn't the balance of MO itself. In this vote, 75% of voters suggested to establish a balance team by players, and this is what I really want to talk about.
Usually, MO's balance is controled by mentalmeisters themselves. However, they don't have as much online gameplay experience as some professional players (no offense). As a result, they might not view every aspects of balance, and there might exist something imbalance in such aspects. Nowadays, many games have a team for balance, and I think MO should also have one.
Those professional players, who have hundreds of online gameplay experience, will have a better conprehension of balance. After many of battles, they can realize the problems that make the game imbalance more easily. So, why not organize some of these players to take charge of MO's balance? In my opinion, it can surely benefit to balance, because the change will come from players' common ground instead of one person's personal opinion. Based on their own experience and group discussion, they are able to make the game more balanced than before.
After all, MO is a game created by hundreds of fans, so I believe everyone could make an effort to the game. You developers could just focus on new things, and the balance team formed by players will be your backup. Give us a chance to do something for this mod.
