At first glance it’s a relatively inconspicuous neverwinter astral diamonds post about Healing Depression in a PVP feedback thread. Robert simply wanted to ask the community whether they think 50% reduction is a good amount. But if you look closer there’s a ton of extra information in it. Another user a few replies later rightfully stated that it’s “simultaneously a?piece of good news, a bit scary, and refreshingly honest”. please dont forget to buy cheap neverwinter astral diamonds on Safewow.

Devs have to crawl through the code

I mean… Robert actually had to crawl through the code to find the “wiring where overall healing suppression in PvP is attached”. So there was apparently nobody to inquire about it and neither had anyone written it down. While I don’t know Cryptic’s documentation guidelines, the original coder is indeed no longer with the studio. We believe Tenacity and Healing Depression was originally designed by Chris “GentlemanCrush” Meyer, who left Cryptic after Module 6.

These are common struggles in a?fast?moving industry. Next to constant in-house juggling, Cryptic as small studio often is just a first step in a dev’s career. At least that’s my impression. So the guys that implement a feature today might not be the ones that maintain it tomorrow. Every now and then new devs have to familiarize with the code base and also apparently search for stuff.

Where are the documentation standards?

Granted, I could be reading too much into it. Maybe it’s a pretty common process in development or “finally found” overstates the time Robert actually spent digging up Healing Depression. If true however I do agree with the sentiment that it’s a bit scary, but?refreshingly honest. It certainly helps to sympathize with the devs, but it also raises questions which?manager didn’t do its job and missed to enforce code documentation standards.

In any case I thought this was an interesting tidbit to share and now you guys can figure out the rest in the comments below or the corresponding thread on our message board!
