just curious ...
just outta curiousity here .....
I logged in for the first time in almost a month , after checking the ladder i realized the new guilds and ppl playing ...in retrospect this is a positive ... however i failed to see any of the originals [beta players, testers,since live launch.etc] and as an original i was just wondering whered u all go? ... i also noticed some guilds that dont seem to exist anymore also.. anyhow just trying to get an update of whats been going on in FURY ... the ins the outs the ups the downs ... and also if there was any word on the next patch, the official forums going back up, and of course repair cost being fixxed back to a more reasonable cost? As ive been a supporter who lost a lot of faith with auran but still lookin forward to gettin back in to the game when the time is finally right and theyve fixxed the mistakes.
Also is it me or did i literally not see hardly anyone playing , good to see vortex back up and running but still seems population is low ..

A lot of the veteran players are kind of in limbo while waiting to see if the devs are going to implement the changes they feel are necessary to keep the game balanced and others felt that the Age of the chosen patch didnt live up to their expectations .
There was a very large protest over the addition of new gear that features procs , which was considered to be the exact opposite of what longtime players has suggested to the dev team primarily because they felt that proc items created a " chance " factor in the game that threw everything out of whack . That and the fact that the new gear is so much stronger stat wise also meant that veteran players who had amassed a lot of gear prior would now have to lose all of that and upgrade to the new stuff , this was a major game breaker for a lot of veterans so they are now sitting on the sidelines refusing to budge until proc gear is removed from the game. Thus one of the main reason the free upgrade to immortal was offered .

Meanwhile , with the recent implementation of new game play types , more players are spending time in those maps rather than the traditional 4 man elim and bloodbath. Part of the new content has been created to serve new players in an effort to allow them to become more experienced at playing the game before facing players with a higher degree of skill.
Currently the largest part of the population are new players and the majority of players are spending time in 1versus1 , Carnage and Bloodbath training grounds with those areas running constant matches 24 hours a day with almost 0 waiting time in the Q . Vortex is also running constant 24 hours a day but with fewer matches and some waiting time in the Q . 4 man elimination and traditional bloodbath are currently being passed up for the other maps . I don`t particularly care for Carnage myself but I guess a lot of newer players really like it , I generally stick with Vortex and 1 v 1 .
The technical aspect overall has been improved greatly since the last few patches and a lot of positive features have been implemented as well and yes , the cost of artificing has been reduced. The ladder system etc . is not up to date primarily because that part of the game as well as the forums are undergoing a major overhaul right now.
