Letter from the Producer, XVI (08/15/2011)

All the things I have seen in the list definitely make me happy, but none so much as this one blurb;



All I can say is: Finally!

I always wondered since alpha why we needed to use the interactions menu for this, its so much easier to hit F8 and enter.

So much to look forward to in 1.19, the game will start to look completly differant.

I agree with Zanfire, but I'd say that all of that patch is window dressing (except for chain bonus) without a functioning LFP / LFG system.

To the 12: Please give us an AH !!!

I'd also like to see DPS and stats for all members of a party and totals.

They failed to get skillchains right because someone thought that it should be changed to Battle Regimen. Nice move >.< It will be nice to see it finally fixed. No rush.

End of September includes at most the dates between the last and day after the middle day of September.

Today is the 15th of August and the first day of late Sept. is Sept 16. That leaves a window for 32-47 days away from patch.

Not 2 more months.

it will most definitely be worth the wait... 1 month and a half almost to put the finishing touches on all of that! good luck SE!

hmm late september, so they missed there mark by about 1 whole patch for end of summer. we were supposed to get 1.2 by end of summer. oh well at least they seem to be finally starting to progress. It will probably be a while before this game is ready though, maybe spring.

"1 whole patch" means nothing. Only content density matters.

Otherwise you might as well mean 1.18a was "one whole patch".

Everything that was supposed to be implemented by the end of Summer is going to be implemented. In 2 patches instead of 3, but... Who cares?

all sounds amazing.

BUT WHERE IS LINKSHELL FUNCTIONS, SERIOUSLY

actually its not, the things that they say are supposed to be in post patch 1.2 were on their list for being ready by september, or rather, instead of completing it, they started it, and leave the major work for post 1.2, like attribute point allotment is planned for post 1.2 now, some of the recipe adjustment etc.

But like i said, at least they actually are starting to churn out real changes, Honestly im not loving the battle system as much anymore, but at least they are doing something with the game, and fleshing out the world, while it may not end up being a product i enjoy, at least its getting closer to being a complete product that can hit some markets, and have some real content for those people.

[Jieddo]

this patch is going to be sick

in the same boat as a halfway decent seek feature XD. Too many little things that will always bother me.
