Divergence 2.0

[Mobius1]

Spell Sever is not so much anything to do with class balance though, unlike Divergence. If anything, it's a nerf to squares, since many don't train spells and thus can only wear two.

But as for the issues with X/day items and spell sever - That's not so much a class balance issue if you ask me.

I do get why they want spell sever, because they are trying to introduce challenge that can't easily be circumvented through pay to win. But ultimately I don't see why they can't adjust spell sever and still obtain balance.

I think one of the important things here is to divorce Divergence and Spell sever in these discussions, unless there is some other pay to win issue with it that I am not aware of. Simply complaining to Wyrom about 3 issues you have with Divergence, is meaningless with the X/day issue, because that is spell sever and not Divergence.

You forgot an important part of this:

I just reposted the cliff notes that were sent to me. I don't hate myself enough to keep up with Discord myself. But that's somewhat of a relief that there was more context to it and that they're not actually looking at enchant bonuses like that.

They aren't doing that though, they are just saying okay all new hunting grounds (even level 50 ones) are going to have spell sever.

Kind of silly to introduce so many pay to win items then say "Oh by the way, going forward all pay to win items are useless."

It's like there are a dozen people running GS, each with their own idea of the direction they want to take the game, and each of them somehow getting their way.

they could make X a day work like it is a native learned spell while it is active that could help right?

That's what they should do; X/day items don't count towards the 2 outside spells you're allowed to have in spell sever areas. But to my knowledge at the moment they do count towards the 2 outside spell limit.

Disable all magic and only whip-blades work.

They could, but that would make sense, which is why they won't.
