IGN: You've said you're not raising the level cap and not adding new classes because you wanted to expand your current offerings. How are you improving the abilities and options of your existing characters? How does the alternate advancement system work?
Craig Morrison: We are aiming for providing players with new abilities, spells and combos that add new further depth to the combat system. Now that we have deployed the revamped items and statistics update we have a much greater number of options for us to play with and we want to build on that. The focus will be on providing more situational and interesting abilities that mean players can take advantage of the strengths and weakness of their opponents.
At a basic level the alternate advancement system allows players to earn new advancement points that they can then spend in brand new feat trees. These feat trees include a lot of new abilities, functionality and choices for their characters.
There will be a few additional aspects that we think will really give this system depth, but we are still working through a few of the design elements there before getting into the fine details of the system with the community.
