Today is the 4th Global labs patch in a row with 0 class changes. Why did you stop updating? Because of the 20k free crons tournament barely anyone cares about? Because of the AOS clusterf that is dominated by Awakening Ninjas and Awakening Mystics? I'm 100% certain most AOS players would like to see more changes. So why did you stop? More than a 3rd of the classes need updates or nerfs. Warrior, Casters, Drakania, DK, Ranger, Nova, Tamer are in dire need of changes to modernize the class, while overtunned ones like Mystic, Ninja, Sage and Maegu are terrorizing PvP for months. So what are we waiting for? Another month for the useless 20k crons tournament to finish, or the half baked AOS season nobody wanted to do so? (We should have had GL by now). 

Eddit:

5th week in a row with no class changes. 

6th week now...

AOS is the reason. I think we need to wait for next rounds of class changes when all pvp tournament/events end. Yeah this season of AoS feels more about the crons then actually climb haha. U just need to create one of the meta classes and u good to go. 

They have simple moved on to the next project.

They probably have several development teams, some of which are specialized, e.g., a UI team that only handles UI tasks, and some general teams that basically do whatever they are assigned to do.

Each of their teams gets projects, such as working on class changes/balance. They simply release whatever they can get done in time until the next project in the pipeline comes up. Then they move on.

If we assume that this is how it works, it would explain why it takes forever to fix even the simplest things in-game.

At least, that's the pattern I'm observing.

they usually do it after aos season ends, also dont expect awk ninja nerfs, PVE region doesnt play it 

I think you both have a good view on what is the problem:

They for sure don't have a dedicated team working on balance, its just Project to Project + they looking at KR Data mainly to "balance." I remember to this day when I heard them say, when Succ-Wizard was completly busted in Noderwar/Siege: We looked at RBF Data and Succ Wizard was not doing so good, thatswhy we didnt nerf it. And now they taking AoS as Data and probably waiting on that "Data".

If AOS is their data, why they end up nerfing the underperforming classes while buffing the strong ones?

How many Zerk buffs we had already? 6 or more.

5 weeks in a row now. WTF is happening? They just abruptly stopped the class changes. Can we at least have an explanation to why?
