Great stuff here

CC effects get a diminishing return mechanics (first one 100%, second 50%, third 25%, fourth no effect) if used again within 15 sec on same target.

PvP honor system finally implemented.

Lots of class balancing - almost every class gets some nerf and some boost (except warrior).

I tried pvp on the test server but stopped after 15mins cus of lag,The "epic" fight in southsure made daoc zerg fights seem small,seemed like hundreds vs hundreds but maybe just looked that way

[Brynn]

Looking forward to honour system, hope it will be nice and not be dominated by rogues

Paladin Epic Mount quest added. To begin, talk to the paladin trainers Duthroian Rall or Brandur Ironhammer.

And warlocks... they get theres free... and when you see it you will want to make a warlock.

See these (taken from a penny-arcade thread) -

Warlock 1
Warlock 2

Here is the penny arcade thread which has loads of other info (starts page 3 really) -

Rogue's buffed.... /baffle

They are already the most overplayed class.

Ice Mages totally stink now, yey for cookie cutting.

Gah....

That's their compensation for having to play a shit class.

[Coccas]

Acutally, both warlock and paladin quests for epic mounts require stuff worth around 400g i read somewhere, still not 900g but atleast it's not for free.

Most already do (fear and poly spring to mind).

Snare nerf is a bit weak - basically frost mages get to blow their all their snare in the first 7.5 seconds or not use frost nukes. :/

Bah tried to edit this but FH was playing silly buggers again.

Looks like frostbolt and frostbite are not affected so frost mages aren't too gimped. The frost nova nerf is pretty much a non-issue as you can't spam it fast enough for it to be a problem (unless you have a lot of mages). I don't think the CoC nerf is too bad either.
Shamans are likely hit harder with the frost shock nerf though, and moving warlock seduce into the fear immunity table will reduce their CC power somewhat.

Saw one fight like this in beta, was a real case of headless-chickens

[k9awya]

rogues now ambush for 2k+

the "free" paladin epic mount is way way more hasle that 900g lol, i checked 1st 2 steps and already u needed 300g , arcanite bars, items from strat and other annoying to get items, and this just the start steps to quest :P
