The big Update 4 is finally here!
This awaited update gets Auto Assault closer to cross-faction balance more than ever, in addition to the much demanded Auction House and Mail system.
Balance is an never-ending endeavor for any MMORPG out there and AA is no different, with a little exception: the Skill system was incredibly complicated and personalized for each Faction. Balance was near impossible. But with U4, the Skill system is downsized to 10 ranks for all skills across the factions and each one is modified to counter-balance each other.
The balance debate have been raging on the official Forums, especially with the heavily moderated skills, but this will be an ongoing process as expressed by AA Associate Producer Zzyn, and will continue on beyond U4.
The Auction House will bring trading to a new level, with indepth search capabilities and item categories that cover everything from the paint cans to the high power Epic gear! Commerce and crafting will be the major benefactors with the ability get the much needed crafting material easily and efficiently for Crafters, while making decent clink for newcomers and lower level farmers.
Above all, this update fixes many bugs and annoyances that plagued AA since Beta, and adds few enhancing features to all new players (the "Intro Missions"). NetDevil & NCSoft promised keep up the pace and moving towards more "Quality of Life" updates for AA in the near future, which will cover the Tournament system, new content and community tools.
