I would REALLY love to hear what they are working on... Hope for a beta patch in the close future

I believe it has something to do with the additional foes the game adds in PotD - it might not be possible to add and remove them at any given time.

Thank you so much for the answers, BMac and Kohwalter! If I could reduce all ability costs like Kohwalter suggested, it would achieve quite a bit of what I desired.

As possible balance adjustement/buff for ciphers I'd like to give them more starting focus and maybe also a larger max focus pool. But I failed to find the relevant entry - can anyone help???

Thank you Shadowstrider! Your examples are most helpful for some plan I have!

Could anybody capable of datamining please update the list for 1.1? Has anything changed except for the hull strenght?

I have to agree! Great game! I rarely had this feeling of a believable world I wanna engage in, reminds me of the first Dragon Age. A believable quest, and an enjoyable felling of progression by hiring crew and upgrading your ship. It also brings back fond childhood memories of Baldurs Gate. I also LOVE the scripted events, non-combat-situations have never been done better in any CRPG I ever played. I'd wish the we'd already be able to to play the game in the polished state it will no doubt reach later this summer. Then again, Baldurs Gate 2, as iconic as it was, never turned out to be overly balanced, despite being significantly less complex regarding character customization (warriors basically only autoattacked!). We expect significally more nowadays.

There is a thread in the build forum

Thank you! This is exactly what I hoped for, guess I'll have to start modding once 1.1 is final...

All changes for the early June patch should be in the beta branch now. However I know there is more that the team wants to change, so do expect more in future patches. Thanks for the info, even if it is a bit disappointing. As cipher player, I had hoped that some of the recent balance feedback would already flow into the final 1.1. version...

Thank you for the mod! I already considered modding the abilities myself, great to have a starting point

I'm abroad and can't check myself - are there ongoing (ability/character) balance changes in the two later beta builds? If not, do you expect any further changes in the final patch?

Are there any further ability changes? May we expect any more or is the ability balance final?

To be fair: a dev said that several regions are not yet changed in this build - I believe somewhere in the beta patch forum

Would it work to give them full focus at the start of combat? Most other casters also start the fight ready to blast after all... Regarding subclasses, soul annihilation was nerfed anyway, so using it right away might not be too much, even for mindstalkers. Beguilers would be get the desperately needed buff, and their fathers make more sense at the beginning of a fight anyway. Ascendants would get the same amount of starting focus as the others, making their path to ascension shorter while not making them OP
