ANET position on conditions problem?

#1 - Oct. 17, 2014, 1:59 p.m.

more than a year ago people and dev were facing and discussing the problem of the condition cap and possible solution, the answers and suggestions were something like:
increase the cap, personal cap ,we are working on that and many other like:
separate pve,pvp cap… etc…

now after more than 2 year from release and 1 from the above discussions , which is the position of ANET on the subject? are you still thinking about solution, not caring, caring but don’t have time…? working as intended??

this doesn’t want to be an angry post or nothing mean, just an informative post to let us, the community, to have your official position on this today.

Sorry if my english hurted someone, but I’m not a native speaker and writing this from my phone nonetheless

I talked to a couple of the devs just now, and they told me this is a subject they’re still reviewing and considering how best to address. It’s part of a larger discussion, as you can imagine, and changes would necessarily involve a few elements, not just condition caps alone.

While there aren’t details on changes or a timeframe in which they would be done, you can be sure that this is being reviewed by the devs and considered as part of the big picture and potential adjustments in the future.

dace — I wouldn’t want you to think that this has been a static thing, that there’s been no movement on this. There’s been assessment, analysis, and discussion. The devs have considered changes and some they’ve outright rejected where others are still in the running and need assessing in relation to the bigger picture that I mentioned earlier. If there aren’t details to provide overtly — and right now there are not — there is activity happening covertly. So I would say that progress has been made.

CDI on this? I don’t know what Chris Whiteside’s schedule is for CDI’s, and I know his bandwidth is stretched thin. (He has a boatload of stuff on his plate, that for sure!) However, I’ll ping him about that and he can consider if it would fall into the CDI format, and if so, when.

Thanks for the suggestion.
