Putting this poll up here about Default.
 

The pollhouse poll isnt getting attention so.

Where should the next implementation and experimentation of default HD on classic go.

GC events like CTF?
Should I improve the default spar room accomodations first?
Should I spread the PK area to angel clan and improve those systems in default PK?
Or do you dislike default HD?

post feedback please

Biggest concern seems to be how default will effect events, so I guess that would be the next logical step of testing.

yes, that is also personally what im most concerned with.

i dont care but if i had to pick one it would be events

Default HD is horrible.
I can't stand the instant hit crap.

There's a negative externality for any of the HD's. It's something you have to accept. Personally I prefer default HD (although I suck at it now from lack of practice lol), because it's the only fair HD in my opinion since you can hit and get hit pretty decently. I know the lag issue and that is the issue for every HD.

I'd say sparring for now, since it would give people something to do in between events.

i dislike it

I like it, because i get rewarded for offense and people can hit me easily if I make a mistake. Can actually string together combos, and get combo'd if I'm not careful.

Hitting laggers, I have a general sense of where they are going, and can time the hits good and get them cornered.

The new hd on the rest of classic has no death and turns into a slash fest even between two lagless players. But with the default hd I'm positive I could get a 100% hit accuracy if I tried to with someone that didnt lag at all.

Next step is Angel Clan or events since Exodus spar is pretty good and has smooth default hd as well so no need to put immediate focus on sparring atm.

event will suck so bad with defaulthd and lol dew AC should stay clientside its like the only clientside pk level left around the bank , default will kill classic gameplay. thatall ihave to say

no u will

In my opinion those are all equally excellent areas to focus on, but I'd personally focus on releasing whichever is the quickiest solution you've offered.
I still highly recommend releasing some kind of active economy item with sign on bonuses/incentives. (i.e. hat economy)

Throughout this process Classic's staff, along with player votes, can help sway your decision on Classic's economy item. Although the economy item should remain on the back burner until your above suggestions have been implimented.

Its more of the observation and possible issue testing matter more than the implementation of it.

the systems are very delicate around here, sadly.

Oh yay, a hat.

I think Bell mentioned somewhere Classic couldn't have a hat economy, but perhaps I could be mistakened.
