Well, Tasos told us that the features on IGN really weren’t about divulging new information for the veterans of the community, and the latest peak certainly bears that out.
That said, it is reassuring to be reminded that the developers’ hearts are in the right place:
As players, we enjoyed playing skill-based games like Ultima Online and The Elder Scrolls series, and we couldn’t help feeling restricted by class / level-based ones. When faced with the decision of allowing players the freedom to take the skills they want and need as their character grows and the game evolves – or not – it was a no-brainer.
