As indicated in previous posts, we are working on delivering the gameplay changes you have been requesting. We are making Fury a competitive, level playing field and this will require a number of significant changes.

 

One of the key things that needs to happen in order for Fury to succeed, is we need to regain the trust of the community. Talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words, so to earn your trust we need to deliver results. However we need to begin by discussing our options to make sure we agree on the path forward (no more AotC surprises - Cam and I are still here, and we admit we made mistakes but we are ready to move on).

We’re going to start off by introducing our plans for the new level playing field designed for (and by) competitive players. This starts with two major areas for discussion:

1. Ability overhaul – simplify the set of abilities and ensure players have meaningful choices

2. Armor & Equipment overhaul – provide armor that works in conjunction with the abilities (and without procs)

Cam will be introducing our plans in more detail in the Suggestions forum and we look forward to reading your feedback and working with you to get the mix of abilities and armor right. You will also have the opportunity to help us design new starter Archetype/Incarnations which we know have bugged many of you since beta.

Once we have these details addressed we will move on to discussions about new/existing game types, crafting, business model, time frames and so on.

We can dwell on the past or look forward to the future. We have [hopefully] learned from our past mistakes and encourage you to participate in this process to help us ensure the future of Fury is a long and prosperous one.

As a sign that we are serious about getting things right and acting on your feedback, we will be making two changes to 4 v 4 Elimination for this weekend.
(i) We will turn bots off, so all 4v4 games will be human only
(ii) we will release a small patch which will turn off armor procs for 4v4 only.

Please give us your general feedback here and more specific comments in the detail threads on the Suggestions forum.

Cheers

Bossman

lol no one comes here anymore, after your game revamp you need to work on a few balance and builds of the week/month builds...also think about a re-release from scratch maybe with a new name.. to get fresh players... because last time I looked your game is DEAD

good idea but no population.

Thanks for the bump. Can't really tell if you're just trying to flame or offering suggestions but anyway.

Regardless of how popular this forum is, I'm posting updates on the game.

If you're judging the games popularity by action on this forum, you're looking in the wrong place.

Go check out the official Fury forums for that and offer your suggestions or criticisms there as thats where you'll find the players.

no prob bump =p

but suggestions there, would be good revive. from feedback i have read the game is where it should have been at day 1. so improvements but  a little late.  how is population in game? I would play it again but last time i tried was nearly nobody in game, I need players in my game, it is decent game love the random stats and such..but without players ...well you gotta egt  some players in game somehow. do a promotion maybe like 2moons and metin is doing on front page here? give away a few of those Hero accounts lets say 30, as 2nd,3rd prizes. first prize  maybe 10 ipod (basics) 8gb. and grand prize 2 ipod 16gb touches.  get  fury on frontpage, get people back into the game. it is good promotion.  just my idea, and 4th and 5th prize..maybe that 10% runspeed item from preorder, or some other unique game item.  get  the fury name back out.

As I said to someone else who asked, the game is going through big changes right now.

My posting updates here is mainly to inform of them rather than try to attract attention to the game.

It will do that itself once these changes are implemented.

The last thing it needs right now is lots of attention mid-revision where a whole new bunch of players turn up and start moaning because stuff is still being re-worked / balanced.

On the other hand, if you used to play but were put off for one reason or another now is the time to goto the main forums and speak your mind directly to the devs. They are listening and big changes are happening.

assasin the only problem I had was no players, get players in game and  the game be fine.. no players= why bother. You gotta attract players.

and saying or thinking that they will come to your game on your own , you are mistaken.

AoC, TcoS, WAR all coming out soon..you want to be in that competition...  you need to try and act fast while there is a huge lull in the mmo market and a lot of players are playing nothing at all or miserable in the games they in. having players in game makes all the difference in the world..

let the noobies cry.. atleast they will stick around and play if other players are there. and if they crying on forum atleast you are getting feedback.

sorry I won't come back til I find word of the game having a population.

the game cant get a population if people not willing to come back and play some cause of the low pop

well they need to runs some contests and promotion sget a huge influx of players, I  suggested it and he shot down the idea.. too bad. I for one never come back to a  dead game

I'm a newbie here and come to find more information about Fury. my classmates all have interesting in fury.

Hardly a dead game, I've got no problems queuing up to Vortex and 4v4 games. Plently of people to battle it out with. True, the current playerbase is not huge, Fury is not an mmo. Thats not necesarily bad since its a tight knit community at the moment :)

Its going to change very soon with the overhaul.

EDIT: I'm done with this game, seriously. I've spent my fair share on this game and now there making me pay PER GAME to play. I get 100 free plays a MONTH i could go through that in less then a week...

this is bullsh*t.

THE FUTURE OF FURY!!

Taken from Bossmans latest post HERE.

If you have logged into Fury recently, you will notice that things have changed a lot since release last year – new game types, new functionality, better performance, bugs fixed, and … armor procs .

Well, we have been listening to our community and we agree that to grow and prosper, we need to change. We need to make Fury a level playing field. Earlier this month we announced an
