@holinka It seems that there isn’t a game like that anywhere in existence, except for maybe Forge War, but they lack depth and a Mac client

@holinka Why not poll the PvP population and see what they’d think of a permanent Trial-of-the-Champions play style?

Arthur A. Sabintsev ‏@ArtSabintsev Dec 5

@holinka Thank you so much for taking the time to read these messages and to reply to them. It’s very much appreciated!

@holinka Oh, and great job on DKs! Been a huge fan of FDKs for a while, and have been able to play DW FDK w/o fail in PvP since season 8 :)

Holinka ‏@holinka Dec 5

@ArtSabintsev Polling the population is not how we design games. Personally, I'd find it pretty unrewarding. I like getting gear.

Arthur A. Sabintsev ‏@ArtSabintsev Dec 5

@holinka Ah, well what about a user-acceptance testing on PTR? I guess we’re different in that regard.

Arthur A. Sabintsev ‏@ArtSabintsev Dec 5

@holinka I like the way gear looks, but prefer to have achievements, tabards, titles, mounts to show of my PvP skill (or lack thereof) ;)

Arthur A. Sabintsev ‏@ArtSabintsev Dec 5

@holinka I think we’re just from different camps. I’m sure the TotC game-style and stats will be illuminating. Thx for putting that in WoD!

@holinka @ArtSabintsev I think he was asking for arena / RBG disabling of, say, will of the forsaken, not lack of gearing?

Arthur A. Sabintsev ‏@ArtSabintsev Dec 5

@VerainOfUrsin @holinka I was asking for the disabling of all racials in pvp matches. I was also asking for stats to be removed from gear.

Holinka ‏@holinka Dec 5

@ArtSabintsev @VerainOfUrsin Same answer frankly, the game is at its core an RPG.

Arthur A. Sabintsev ‏@ArtSabintsev Dec 5

@holinka I understand that. I was simply answering @VerainOfUrsin question :) I still think pvp, at its core, should be evenly matched

Arthur A. Sabintsev ‏@ArtSabintsev Dec 5

@holinka @VerainOfUrsin I appreciate the healthy discourse we’ve had today. Thank you for taking the time to chat about this topic.

@holinka @ArtSabintsev @VerainOfUrsin Calling it an RPG is a poor excuse to not balance racials. Keep them, but make them equally powerful

Arthur A. Sabintsev ‏@ArtSabintsev Dec 5

@rainzer06 @holinka @VerainOfUrsin that’s too much extra work. Removing them is easier :)

Arthur A. Sabintsev ‏@ArtSabintsev Dec 6

@rainzer06 @holinka @VerainOfUrsin I’ve been thinking about this some more. Calling it an RPG is just an excuse. What do you call GW1/GW2?

Holinka ‏@holinka Dec 6

@ArtSabintsev @rainzer06 @VerainOfUrsin A different game with a different vision of RPG. It isn't an excuse, it's the direction of the game.

Holinka ‏@holinka Dec 6

@ArtSabintsev @rainzer06 @VerainOfUrsin Actually it's something I really admire about GW. They have their own vision & they go for it.
