Hi, I dont post here much, but im a ballista player on fenrir server, and im here to tell you the current state of ballista for those servers who dont frequently have OMs. Well thx to SE, the new item chest caused some kinda of glitch in ballista meaning that, If you get a item chest before a match starts, the item doesnt go away, or rather, you have a infinite supply of that item. I recently saw this at a OM uncap, where a player had infinite potion+3s. He got the chest before match started. Keep in mind that you can get all sorts of items from these chest..like revits...dwings...etc.. so yea, for the time being, ballista = fucked
Ballista=Ruined chest items........

You should try your damnest to get a d.wing before a match starts and spam that sheet 
On a serious note, this bug clearly shows that SE didn't even consider the fact that you can get these items in Ballista too, showing that SE doesn't even remember Ballista is there, lol.
/comfort to you man, I hope they fix it soon.

yea lol, some taru blm survived a drk blu drg onslaught by spaming potion+2 in 60cap -.-. the trick is to sign up, THEN get a item chest before the match starts.

honestly, they didnt put a lot in the last patch, and most other games, dare I say wow? has a test realm where they actually put future pasts live to be....tested? by players, its crazy i know! Before you anti wow people get started, most mmorpgs Ive played had that as well, not just a wow thing, something about, making their customers feel like they arent being blindly screwed

Dunno man, last I heard blizzard had the tendency to make the game worse w/ every class tweak they do. You could go from being a 1 man army to the neighborhood whipping boy based on how many people bitched about you.
You'd think their testing would prevent such a drastic shift in balance... or maybe blizzard's doing it on purpose
And that's straight from the mouths of a couple of people I know that play WoW. Not my own biased opinion
Also: SE does have a test server. It's called Atomos. They just aren't very thorough I guess.

oh they tested that stuff on wow, but people bitching about the sudden overpowering of a class isnt really something anyone takes into account
The most recent thing that happened like that was before the expansion, paladin went from a meh class, to a sudden pvp powerhouse. Every paladin that was a tank or healer switched to DPS mode, with horrible gear, and made people fear them. There was a debuff that clicks on when paladin uses one of their berserk type moves, that prevented them from using their invulnerability, was removed, paladins would click both and take out 3 people without dying haha, so they ended up changing it back to the old way. Unlike certain games, if people complain enough, blizzard pays attention.....

So, first time I did some matches since this thing came out....WOW, I havent had so much fun in a match before as I did in the first round of meri 60cap today.
God this thing, as fun as it is, needs to be changed. Walked up to a war as my drk/nin, 4 ws to his face and he dies, then did the same to a blu...and then the blu again and again. I had someone do a gm call on me because he was so pissed. We did lose that first round, because we had like 5 people with wings that just went on a rampage. Was at a point where they see me coming and sprint off
Hey...gotta abuse it while we can, even though Im pretty sure its not going to be fixed for a good amount of time...I mean look at how long it took them to fix the xbow delay thing....oh wait
