Hamlet defense update.

Could we please hear more about 1.21—ya know, since we're supposedly getting close to it.

They are creating the content to allow every class, including crafters and gatherers, to be able to participate.

I guess everyone missed that part as the the "New" news :/ Crafting/Gathering Classes weren't Announced as Being apart of Hamlet Defense.

There is something I have to apologize for. We were shooting to have the new “hamlet defense” content ready in time for 1.21, but despite the progress we’ve made, I’m afraid the scale is just too large for that to be possible. I’m truly sorry about this. But, it’s going to be fresh new content that can allow all classes to play an integral role (not just combat classes!), so I hope it’s something you can all look forward to. Again, I’m sorry for the delay, and ask for your patience and understanding.

Yes, it was. Old news is old.

Corrected, but It hurts to have Old info ( which can be new to other people that don't get on forums much)? :/

So where the NEWs?

And when are we going to see more NA generated questions answered? Everything on the dev tracker as of late (past few months) has been heavily regurgitated info from the JP side. Which in it's self is awesome, but we have a fantastic Fan Translator who gets us the info promptly.

I'm restless with this game right now. We haven't had a significant content update since.... September?

This.

The past few months lore / updates are mere reiterations of what we've already been told.

There is still much the dev's haven't previewed or told us about 1.21, a patch that was supposed to be out already.

Patch delay I can understand, lack of any concrete information since subscriptions started, I cannot.

Actually I think the news in this is that Hamlet defense is coming in 1.22

Yoshi P. did say it was delayed, but some thought to 1.21a, b or something, but not to 1.22. this is actually bad news if anything.

And like everyone else said, give us news about 1.21 already :)

I believe the reason was that they wanted things to "calm down" after the server merge hoopla before posting 1.21 info. I'm not sure why this has anything to do with anything (wouldn't posting new info make people talk about that instead?), but things have certainly calmed down.

I m half agree on chiefcurrahee,
It is true that we never get any answer for NA/EU question at all. In fact, Dev only answer those JP forum people, and then we got the translate version paste into similar thread in NA/EU forum to answer us. Basically, we never have any answers from dev that is originally direct to our question. If JP not ask it, then NA will never hear it. This make us look like second rated customers.

But good part is that we can still give idea/suggestion and the mod will continue to ask the JP dev when it is interesting.

I think this is unfair, of course all Yoshi-P responses will be directed at JP forums, because well he is japanese and can understand japanese, but to say that we dont get any answers from the team is just a lie

I think the issue is that we get about 7 questions answered a week (if we are lucky), but japan gets a lot more than that.

However, the dev's do act as rep's rarely and ask yoshida the question themselves and report the answer back to us.

But thats rare.

I think his point is pretty valid regardless.

So we've gotten to the point where you're teasing 1.22 content that we were supposed to get weeks ago?

And how is that news exactly? We were already told every class would be able to participate...
