Testers will not get to keep their test character and &lt;br&gt;will be asked to raise the character without using buffs/exploits. I will &lt;br&gt;make a discord for discussion.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Hey Burlok? What’s this worm all about?!&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The worm has been the subject of recent discussion with long-time, &lt;br&gt;experienced, players calling for itsremoval due to perception that its &lt;br&gt;*broken* some recent changes made it viable but didnt solve the core &lt;br&gt;issues reported to me which were:&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;1- The worm essentially only has one active skill people use in *swallow*. &lt;br&gt;So its not fun unless that one skill allows it to efficiently grind. Would &lt;br&gt;be nice if other skills worked together or were viable with swallow.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;2- The class-fantasy for worm at high levels is a massive beast and being &lt;br&gt;able to swallow only 3 smurfs at 19+7 is sad-emoji. Would be cool if a &lt;br&gt;worm grows and can really swallow villages of low level mobs.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;3- The swallow damage-healing make it difficult to balance. Theres no &lt;br&gt;greater threat from swallowing 1 person vs swallowing 20 (not 3) persons &lt;br&gt;as the only factor is whether you can do slightly more damage to each foe &lt;br&gt;then they do to you. If so, youll stay healed and win. If its not enough &lt;br&gt;healing then you die to an equal level foe and its impossible to play (se &lt;br&gt;point 1).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;4-The biggest threat to a worm is hunting-hits. That sucks because their &lt;br&gt;spit-mechanic largely random. Cant the biggest threat be the skills, &lt;br&gt;spells, and abilities that their opponents actually possess?&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The class refresh is intended to be a big dumb tank-of-a-class. Swallow is &lt;br&gt;a core component but more active skills such as bile (completely &lt;br&gt;rewritten) and tenderize are what really does the work. So its a bit &lt;br&gt;easier to balance. I think ive addressed all of the above including &lt;br&gt;hunting hits. When you spit due to damage (not randomly) rather than &lt;br&gt;hunting you take that spike of damage over several rounds instead of all &lt;br&gt;at once. Giving them a tanky feel.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Much testing is needed. Read more about whats coming with *help worm2* &lt;br&gt;will be looking for testers soon.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; ```&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
