I'm completely devoured by Project Gorgon, clocking in over 800h since last Christmas. Such a unique game. Old-school, but with fresh and fun features and tons and tons of content.

You are focusing too hard on miniscule Auto-Attack DPS differences and completely ignore Ability-Damage. A 6s delay 2h Weapon will deal roughly DOUBLE the damage of a 3s delay 1h Weapon, which not only means that while spamming Abilities your Ability-DPS doubles, but you also have double the...

you know that you can just play Embers right now? It's f2p incl. subscriber benefits until the Steam launch. No need to wait for it.

it will come to Steam, but no date yet. But should be in the next 1-3 months. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3336530/Embers_Adrift/

Then you got fooled, because EA has instances. They just haven't seen use in a while because of the low pop. IIRC a zone caps at 100 players, you can check with /instance which instance you are in and use /switchinstance to change to another.

all the test data/math is in post #6:

Pretty sure they already do. Real items at least, not consumables.

I would honestly just scrap the entire system. Why are we even discussing the validity for clutch situations? Because all lesser use-cases are already out the window because of the resource cost. Every skill has to directly compete in value with a teleport. Do I rather save 10 min of walking or...

The problem is, if it's a real clutch situation you want that ability to go out NOW. If you can afford a 3s cast (or rather 3.5-4s as you need some time to press modifier and recognize it's active), the situation probably wasn't that clutch after all. Tradeoffs are fine and dandy, but a skill...

Having to fiddle around with modifier keys and the increased cast times pretty much kills it for me.

Not yet, as I won't bother with it on a GTX 670. But I will in the next few days, as my new parts just arrived today :) So it managed to shave off 13+ hours from Embers No. 1 Fan but you won't recognize it as competitor? Funny. And to the social aspect: Well, it's like most modern MMORPGs, the...

Maybe, but that's not a given. I'd say it's less of a problem to go too early into Early Access then to actually release too early. One example would be Last Epoch, which was in Early Access for an eternity (2019-2024), but had a HUGE launch.

Yeah, I didn't remember it being this detailed and couldn't check it. My "solution" may still be worth looking into, as it would work for all sub-classes at once (and not just the 3 of your current base class) and also give detailed skill tooltips including alchemy. But certainly not a high...

Here's a quick mockup: Have a Dropdown-Button next to Base + Subclass. In this example, if I click on Knight I can choose between all Defender Subclasses, and if I click on Defender, I can choose between all Base classes (and then pick between the different subclasses of that other Base class)...

I may not remember correctly (and I'm forced to an old PC where I can't check) but I think you can't see (all) of the skills a class will get before you choose them. So maybe some tweaks to the UI so you can preview every class's skills would already go a long way.
