"The most difficult thing for us at this stage was keeping track of this system as it evolved daily, ensuring that nothing we were changing along the way detracted from anything that we felt would be the fun parts". he said, adding that he was satisfied that the final system kept the original things that made the experience fun.

He added that varying modifiers were created to set level of damage of Melees, Combat Arts and Spells. Some peak damage abilities like Ice Comet require additional tempering to ensure that battles are fun for everyone, and donÂ’t become completely one-sided due to a single overpowering ability.

"It was our goal when implementing the system to ensure that all abilities available to a player were represented for PvP." he concluded. Knowing the effort put into those modifiactions was comforting, we don't want another one of those Marvel versus X-men PvP types with absurd attack modes (geessh, remember Cyclop's optic rays?!).
