Removed some clunkiness from Greater Barge:

The Greater Barge buff is no longer lost if players click a target.

Fixed some issues that prevented Greater Barge from working correctly if queued.


This is amazing for a few reasons. First off because it works. A major buff. It didn't really exist before today. What they call clunkiness, I call false promises. It did nothing for me.

More important, they actually decided it was worth doing. That means everything. IF the game doesn't cooperate and allow for fixes then what is the point of sending feedback? It's cool to be broken? No, it's terrible. IF you can fix something, that is a great idea, even if nobody thanks you for it. Because they won't. Out of sight, out of mind etc.

Melee combat is way better off with some of the recent changes. A working Greater Barge, Chaotic Roar, the scourge whip and crit ring. That's some familiar, powerful, useful and easy gameplay.

That's raising the floor. If it helps those on the ceiling, it doesn't matter because it was already available to them. There needs to be a basic function that doesn't insult the player trying to use it.

Overall great job. 200/10.

Even better, this shows a continued focus on improving the controls of the game. Last week we had improved pickpocketing. Before that they extended the range for catching scarabs at the Crock Oasis, which stopped our character from bouncing all over the screen.

If they want to help generate excitement for the future, they should hype themselves up for these recent efforts. A little pat on the back, a little PR. It's good business. Otherwise a lot of it will go un-noticed. A missed opportunity IMO.

Instead of the game suggesting my skills are so bad that I should just abandon that content, they make adjustments for a more enjoyable and satisfying experience. That's a concept worthy of celebration.
