One of the most controversial features of Warhammer Online's upcoming patch 1.3 was the combat and career changes that have had the community up in arms recently. These changes have been on public test and were intended to add a little balance in what some believe to be an unbalanced system.

Depending on what side of the fence you are on, the announcement that the combat and class changes have been pulled from patch 1.3 is either really good news or really bad news. WAR Producer Adam Gershowitz posts what is being pushed back and why.

Due to the complexity of the changes, it becomes very difficult to simply separate out specific items from the patch without altering other changes in unexpected ways. As a result of this, and to ensure the very best possible patch content, we have decided to split the Career balance changes out of our 1.3 patch. This will allow us to continue working with our Public Test community to further shape the upcoming career adjustments into a more stable, understandable, and fun experience for all.

Career balance changes will be removed from our PTS server starting in Phase 3 of version 1.3 testing, allowing players to focus on testing and feedback for our new Land of the Dead zone. We plan to re-open balance testing for career changes shortly after the release of our 1.3 patch so that we can continue working with the community on these changes and improvements to WAR.
