Decline of producer letters?

I don't know if it's just me being impatient, but it feels like those info letters have slowed down to a near halt. I was discussing this with a friend and we thought it might be that they promised a whole lot and now they feel they need to just pause and deliver.

However, it's not a bunch of new promises we want, as much as some reflection and insight as to what is currently being tested, development progress and thoughts in general.

Anyway, it just feels like it's been terribly silent since just before the earthquake service suspension.

I'm sure developing the game is far above the writing letters on the priority list.

The letters have gotten more consistent lately. Every 2 weeks, give or take.

I'd expect another letter this week.

4/13 > 3/31 > 3/16 > 3/3 > 2/28 > 2/17 > 2/1 > 1/21

I made a topic like this about 3 days ago and we pretty much concluded that I was impatient because I guess letters have been coming consistently. I just wish the letters would have more details in them, I'm sick of hinting at stuff.

We get 'em like every two weeks. I bet you we get one this week detailing the battle system.

It's just you being inpatient, yeah.

By the way, better avoid stating what "we" want, and talking about what "you" personally want.

yoshi is not releasing as many big letters with what he plans on implementing because he is already failing to release the stuff he has already promised. at some point promises need to be shown in game or the letters lose their meaning anyways.

Well, in the last letter he said he took ill. Stop buggin the sick and injured :)

Indeed, we're still waiting for the patches from Feb, march and april to be released.

8 letters in just a few months sounds pretty consistant to me
especialy when one was in the middle of a disaster

we all want more info thats for sure, and more often, but they are doing a pretty good job of keeping us informed

Actually, he failed no promises so far.

This patch is totally 26,9%, not 30.

One of his letters said he'd stop the letters altogether when the forums started functioning. Even so, the last letter was sent with the forums up. I guess he thought the community reps would be good enough.

It really is, Wether he writes it, or his community reps write what he tells them to write, it is all good to me. and there have been LOTS of community rep responses with info from yoshida and the devs.

they can't cover all their words, so they just don't talk anymore

Hoping the next letter has the chart from the initial 2-3 letters with updated info on where they currently stand.

Exactly. If he had said something like "We will bring you Dungeons in April" I would be going to back hand him myself ^^

Calm before the storm

I wrote three sentences. Please read them before criticizing. In chronological order.

That's part of the point. It doesn't have to be lengthy eposes about the future. Just some heads up and reflection about what's currently going on.

I've got to admit, they're doing a good job. I've been surprised at details they've conveyed at some occasions. Still, I miss the letters.
