Sarducca tomorrow, if they didn't nerf Alvarins they will make the other races quit by the day because of how unfair and toxic pvp versus them is, streamers will cry (hurts henrik the most), new and returning players will get farmed with no counterplay, current vet guilds will roll full Alvarin comps and every fight and build will be the same in an mmorpg.
Heres the list of nerfs to do when you fold so you don't mess it up:
1.25% speed + 15 stam clades x 2 need to be removed and replaced by something like +2 con or +2 psyche.
Alvarin sight needs to be removed and replaced with +2 con or +2 psyche
Armor pierce needs to either be removed or made into a healing reduction.
All the stamina regeneration modifiers need to be removed.
Further nerfs if needed down the road:
Cut down of masteries and clade gifts for archery strength requitement to make them use 113 bows again not 120 or whatever.
Cut down of both Veelas and Sheevras int and con by 5-15 and removal of their attribute points by 5-15.
Congrats while your game is not perfectly balanced because no game is (henrik uses "cant be perfrct therefore we should ignore" argument for balance) but its way better to where its not bottlenecking your games growth.
Balance is a constant process in gaming and needs to be done every patch its just a few number changes, what you did with armors was easy and perfect, Alvarin nerf will make the game much more playable but with more conzent weapons abilities playstyles will emerge more overpowered builds and you will need to adress them way before your gamr reaches 300 pop because 3 out of 4 races are literally unplayable LOL what other mmorpg has that?
P.S. what motivated me to write this one real quick was leader of Wolfszeit metah after years of defending Alvarins and trolling realizing the grave mistake of doing so and begging Henrik to nerf them, the situation is so bad Alvarin supremacists like Diphrael, Venti and himself are beggining for nerfs too lmao. MIND YOU these people were first to say Alvarin doesnt need nerf a few months back when they were also the most played racr but not its gone from like 50% of the people playing them to every single other build being a total joke and leaving so they are like 80%?? of people playing rn (actively playing the game not afk in town trade accounts)
They have ruined your game, do not waste Sarducca hype away by letting rat builds dominate all pvp because your stubborn ass refuses to do balance patches.
