The development team has been reorganized, and the team is more compact than before. Each development or adjustment task was given a priority, and the development team will be handling assignments in order of priority. With that said, there is content that can be worked on and that which cannot. Currently, the priority of monstrosity is very low, and there is a very low possibility that this content will receive adjustments or updates in the future. We appreciate your understanding.

Well "Grekumah" the problem that remains is there still are "Buttons" that are "Grayed Out" for the family types listed but no playable monsters to/behind those family categories buttons listed you can find them by doing this:
........ Click on "Customization" >next> Click on "Faculties" >next> Click on an "Empty Equipping Square Box" >next> Click on "Type >" which will bring up the whole list of buttons that i'm referring to in which where put into the game but remained untouched or category buttons were done but not having anything behind it for them to even be staying there showing up.

My question Grekumah to you is that do you agree one of the 2 following should be done to remedy it?:
............1. Have those grayed out categorizational families of the buttons with no implemented monsters to those buttons created into the game to be removed which i'm I would be sure that could be considered more of a minor adjustment then what i'll menton into number 2. below with the very limited compact crews available??

:confused: -OR- :rolleyes:

...........2. Give those grayed out buttons of family type categories with no playable monster's behind them at Least one monster to become opened up under one of each category listed as to be giving a reason those buttons are just there with no purpose?? <-I dont see No.2 as the likely possible route happening since there discontinuing monstity as fars we know it as is thus far ... well, currently everyone seems to think so at this point in time.

Its not unpopular because its a bad idea, its unpopular because no one wants content with no goal. I love Monstrosity, but even I don't want to chase level 75 crap thats not even good for Lockstyle. Instead of giving those Charm things to "Monster Rearing", they should have been unlocked in Monstrosity.

Seriously, how cool would that have been? An actual goal!

The logic is easy to get why they likely wouldn't update Monstrosity. It requires additional assets to be created from the devkits, the icons for the equippable instincts. They have to add more to the client than just text. We have ciphers that were added that haven't been unlocked yet, which were probably planning for a future event or login campaign. If something requires additional client-side assets that are more than just text, it's probably not going to be done at this point.

Didn't they add a bunch of those that never got implemented though? I seem to remember seeing a bunch with no stats the last few updates of monstrosity in the datmines

Pretty unacceptable.

Why did the devs waste their time implementing half a system?

Not that I disagree that it wouldn't be "Easy" to add more stuff to Monstrosity, but it certainly wouldn't be that hard.

And frankly, why the frick even bother putting it in the game if its too much of a hassle to add more to it?

So, the logic still escapes me, they took the effort to make this system, update it a few times, add some mediocre rewards, all of which is something I imagine was not at all easy, and then just left the rest on the cutting room floor and decided to cease updating it entirely. Part of it may have been the decision to "end" major updates and finishing Rhapsodies, but now that thats over, it just seems odd this is still going to lay dead.

So, yah, I know there isn't some miracle quick fix, but I also can't imagine its so hard that it couldn't get a bone here or there every few updates, even if its just the party-system they planned on years ago.

I really hope with this new year Monstrosity receives some Dev attention again. Access to more areas and more species (Alicorn, pleeease!) would be very welcome by now.

I would like to see real PvP in monstrosity. Capping the pvp at levels 30, 60, and 90 was the worst decision they made.

Agreed, Freebytes! ;-) Hey buddy, Nice to notice you're jumping on to the band-wagon forums too. :-)

So, is there any plans of expanding Monstrosity into SoA and Esha?

I'd be happy seeing 1-2 MON added/month.
As well as a free-for-all PvP mode in Valkurm Dunes for Gladiators/Monipulators(Gladiators vs Gladiators vs Monipulators vs Monipulators).
Who wouldn't enjoy seeing a massacre in the most memorable zone of death? c.c;
