I am quite glad I Always went for playable stats and not for stat sum increase..
Glad of what? Even the very average stats that people have posted in this thread have had terrible rerolls...

Edit: Actually I get what you mean. You picked playable while you had the rerolls, rather than higher statsum and waiting for next rerolls.

Problem with this is all current players already abused rerolls on their alts.

This new change only really affects newer or relatively newer players who are already at a disadvantage.

Stats should be the least important part of this game at this point in time and everyone should just be max stats for their respective class. Let game play, equipment, and other non-static things differentiate characters. This solves the statting issue and retaining new players. Just let them play.

Exactly. I Always rather took the 19 xx xx 18 19, then some 16 18 18 19 16 to get some total statsum increase, in the hopes I would reroll even better next time...

That's very chivalrous and all, but it doesn't address the current issue which gives completely bogus rolls. Even if the fix was done correctly, you still would have a chance to hit max statsum, so why wouldn't I do that on a storage alt or char that I rarely play anymore? I never took completely unplayable stats on my main chars, but certainly suffered bad hps from time to time.

Krygg hit the nail on the head, and I'm still convinced this is actually Itesh's ploy to implement a point based stat system where we go back to dung mentals, no pracs, and horrible fleelag. Otherwise, I don't see the reason to pull the ladder this late.

It would be nice if players left their tinfoil hats at home.

We all knew rerolls from people with a high statsum crashed the game. Flash looked into that. This is the result.

We have not looked into any changes to stats, statting, rerolls or homelands, as we feel there are other priorities. It's one of those things we may eventually get to, but at a later stage.

Oh, that was said in jest. I don't think these changes were actually intended to break rerolls or condition us for changes. Guess I should have added the ole haha after that statement.

Probably my only alt from back when I thought I could have an MC before i had even clanned a character haha, so innocent...

These are the age 300 rerolls, guess i could do age 400 too, but might save them for another random check one day.
