Letter from the Producer, XV (07/27/2011)

I like this game. ^^

It was a bit of a non-letter, I'd have rather waited an extra day or two and have him actually say what they might address in 1.18a. At any rate, at least he is communicating quickly which is what a lot of people have asked for, more transparency and all.

I am excited to hear about plans for 1.19 now!

Transparency doesn't just mean words on a page, cloaked in PR speak. Tanaka might not have spoken to you at all, but at this rate it doesn't mean he actually said any less.

Roughly 1% of the population clearing the most cutting edge content in the game in under a week. Thats actually a very high amount. Compare it to wow. If 1% of the 13 million people beat the most cutting edge content in the first week of release(a 25 man heroic dungeon) that would be roughly 5200 groups of 25 people. If wow has say 520 servers that would be 10 group per server. End game content there would never be cleared by so many people in such a short amount of time.

Cmon, you want to make it harder ? you can already see some people complaining current dungeon is too difficult lmao, if they ever decide to bring heroic dungeons-like over, some people are gonna scream and claim it is broken.

I'm not asking to make the dungeon harder. I was just putting the numbers in perspective. Either our 20-30k community has some of the best players in the world of MMOs or the content by comparison is to shallow, or to easy, or not dynamic enough. I always see the comment that most of the people playing this game are retards so I tend to doubt we have the cream of the MMO crop playing this game. So I guess its one of the other options.

didnt seem like he said much there (at least nothing that could not have been saidjust as easily in 1 paragraph and then went on with the 1.19 stuff.

Yeah, yeah, yeah we know that you think this is a shi**y game. Move on already.

I still play the game almost daily BUT unlike some i'm not going to bury my head in the sand and pretend its an amazing and complete game. I like it that you tell me "Move on already" thats cute.

To people saying this post was useless:

It's not, we discovered a number of useful things here.
- Yoshi-P believes 1.18 was a bit overboard and intends to rectify the issues
- Our feedback is being taken note of, and we should continue as such
- Yoshi-P has shed light on secrets that many otherwise would not have known about
- Summer event slated for early Aug

So there you have it, not so useless. Just not 1.19 info that many were expecting.

Also. The "additional treasure" has something to do with the order in which seals are unlocked, somewhat similar to Toto-Rak. That is all.

While your reading-comprehension skills must be commended, I assure you they are nothing but ordinary.

All Yoshi did was state the obvious in a bid to be able to say he "at least stated something."

Why you guys look up to this guy when he's just as with-holding as Tanaka is beyond me.

I don't idolize Yoshi-P lol, and I've never been one who is privy to "well at least it's something" comments. I just don't like it when trolls skim through something and they don't get that one tidbit of information their little hearts desired so they say "omfg dis post = ttaly usles!!@!1!!"
