Here's the mod 11 sneak peak, too... The first part was posted by Atma, and the cap is from Radi, in response to what Atma wrote.
-------------------------------------------------------------
"
1) The old systems that are currently out of whack should be reworked. They were made when max lvl even considered was 20. They weren't made to handle characters this huge, and they start getting really whacky after lvl 40. At 65, they're flat out ridiculous. Things like dodge, AC, DR (DR isn't as broken as people think... /5 DR ruled back when dire wolves were badass... it's just another thing that broke at big lvls), crits, and my personal favorite, magic resistance are all waaaay out of whack. Also, things like traps and tracking max at very low lvl nowadays. There's no point in any over 100, because 100 is perfect. Ever seen a mage fight a priest? It's a very stupid thing indeed. All of these things need to be reworked. Ideally, these changes should be tested to be sure they're balanced for a VERY long time to come. Like at lvl 150 or 200 they aren't out of whack.
2) The spellimmu flag needs to be either flat out taken out of the game, or made so effect spells aren't effected by it. It's useless to give classes spells like confusion when they won't work on any boss over lvl 20.
3) If there's something that's not balanced, such as MR is right now IMO the most unbalanced thing in the game... DON'T add a bunch of stuff to make the problem worse. Mod 9 is full of +MR crap. DEAR GOD WHY?!
4) UP THE PARTY LIMIT. I recall a Metroee saying the reason the party limit wasn't changed was due to the fact there "wasn't anything in mod 9 that a party of 6 lvl 55s couldn't take." BULLLLLLLLSHIT!
-------------------------------------------------
"
The thing is, people should be aware that the problems listed above are definitely the most important ones facing mud now. The mechanics of the game are what's holding it back. With the systems of mud adjusted, the game could become truly balanced and really quite enjoyable at high levels.
OTHERWISE... it could end up something like this in a couple of years...

1) The old systems that are currently out of whack should be reworked. They were made when max lvl even considered was 20. They weren't made to handle characters this huge, and they start getting really whacky after lvl 40. At 65, they're flat out ridiculous. Things like dodge, AC, DR (DR isn't as broken as people think... /5 DR ruled back when dire wolves were badass... it's just another thing that broke at big lvls), crits, and my personal favorite, magic resistance are all waaaay out of whack. Also, things like traps and tracking max at very low lvl nowadays. There's no point in any over 100, because 100 is perfect. Ever seen a mage fight a priest? It's a very stupid thing indeed. All of these things need to be reworked. Ideally, these changes should be tested to be sure they're balanced for a VERY long time to come. Like at lvl 150 or 200 they aren't out of whack.
2) The spellimmu flag needs to be either flat out taken out of the game, or made so effect spells aren't effected by it. It's useless to give classes spells like confusion when they won't work on any boss over lvl 20.
3) If there's something that's not balanced, such as MR is right now IMO the most unbalanced thing in the game... DON'T add a bunch of stuff to make the problem worse. Mod 9 is full of +MR crap. DEAR GOD WHY?!
4) UP THE PARTY LIMIT. I recall a Metroee saying the reason the party limit wasn't changed was due to the fact there "wasn't anything in mod 9 that a party of 6 lvl 55s couldn't take." BULLLLLLLLSHIT!

The thing is, people should be aware that the problems listed above are definitely the most important ones facing mud now. The mechanics of the game are what's holding it back. With the systems of mud adjusted, the game could become truly balanced and really quite enjoyable at high levels.
