>on this board. (snip)I agree, the games combat is somewhat on the easy side, not too easy, but generally much more forgiving than wiz 7. I remember taking almost a week to get a full party to like level 5 equally in wiz 7 (ah that was a long time ago. . . ).
I think the balance is wrecked with the easy acquisitiions of lvl 5-7 spells. in the first day of playing i already had osme massive aoe spells, both sun and stone too!!!
i think this can be remedied in a patch . .. which i think is paramount because wiz games combat wise have always come off as more strategic to me than easy . . . not to say that ww is easy combat wise (i've faced some pretty tough battles alrdy) but compared to wiz 7, ww combat is a cakewalk!!!
although ill have to admit, i did learn to play one or two melee chars solo the first few levels, beefing them up, and then saving gold so that i could advance my mages quicker . . .
anyway, maybe they can do a diablo thing, have 3 versions of same game with higher difficulty thing. lotsa rpgs have to take that route i think becuase genrally (with the exception of mm 6 - 8) rpg's have been a tad easier combat wise the past few years and have less gameplay becuase of it . . .
WW is short a 10 for me, for this alone . . .

). Trying to get a challenge in W&W, i at first made a party of only 4 man, and played on hard - what a mistake. The extra experience gain far outweighted the increased monster difficulty and the game became kinda boring. Several parties later i discovered the hardest possible setting is playing with 6 man party on normal level. Also, it helps to 'take fate as it comes': When generating new party, take the first roll no matter how bad it is, and don't reload a game unless you're viped out completely. Makes you think twice about disarming that difficult stone grave trap
