New Letter from the Producer, XII

Yes!
Information. Good information that isn't just a blip.
This is what I've been wanting all along.

XIV requires absolutely state-of the art PC to run at reasonable frame rates. How do these aspects reach an average casual player again?

so the way you see it is that casual gamers cant afford high end PC? Fathers and Mothers and students cant afford a 1000.00 PC? You sir are ignorant. I have maybe 5-6 people in my LS alone who are older and have a casual schedule and own a better PC than I do. They bought it specifically for this game.

the average casual gamer has the resources to play this game. way to back up my example there...

RIFT is a WOW clone through and through and it's doing VERY well. So there goes your whole argument.

looking at the servers that all were "full" and now are at low/medium... isn't all "well" to me.
It did a lot of things right but its losing a lot of players every day due to the lack of content. Many are leaving back to wow, what a surprise. But well you know everything. That's not new to me.

Mmm

For sure. The patches always come when I'm out of town and the 18th is when I'm gone for a week. Based on this I'm placing 1.18a at August 9th and 1.19 around September 20th.

1.19 is a huge patch too so I'm doubtful we'll see it a month after 1.18.

don't get mad because SQEX isn't designing your "ideal" game. With your innovative and fresh ideas I'm sure you could pump out a great MMO right?

To all complaining about the producer letter... or other changes they made in the game already go read the interviews for why they did it... Just wait and see how it plays out; not really good to judge something just from reading something when you haven't even touched it yet.

Could someone inform me where people are getting the information about which jobs are becoming available?

They certainly had better have a job for each class, and I honestly can't say archers will be entirely thrilled if bard is their job.
