Letter from the Producer, XXIII (01/23/2012)

[Haku]

You assume simply because Yoshida doesn't post about the game in particular or had a new years party (pretty sure every company has a new years party, no matter the nation) that the "game isn't being made."

If you recall when Yoshida posted about his work hours you'd know that's far from the case lol.

thanks for attacking me. my opinion is the game is not being made. if I want to have that opinion I can thank you very much.

[Haku]

Look I agree yoshi is working hard but what is he working exactly 2.0 or content for the time being... for the game right now I don't think it's being made

[Tahldon]

This is getting absurd. Shame on Yoshida for thinking were were a community, for pete's sake. As a community, we would like to discuss things besides the game for once and share a holiday greeting with one another for the sake of transparency between players and the development team. As a community that means we all do things together. True, the game isn't as up to par as we'd all like it to be, they are fixing that and it takes time, but that doesn't mean that we have to slap down everything else in the world for the sake of that alone.

I cannot believe that the terms "White-Knight" and "SE Fanboy" have made their way into this thread. Lol Wow. Some of you guys just take it to a whole other level. I genuinely am laughing as I type this because it doesn't make any kind of sense. The point of the matter is that no one is telling you guys to "get out" because you want the game to be better. We all want the game to get better from the Development team to every one of us in the forums that's why we're still waiting (as players) and that's why the devs are still working on it. It's a gradual process that we're all stepping towards, together as a "community" that shares holidays and things of that nature with one another. The reason some of you might be getting told to "take a hike" is because no one wants those types of negative feelings in the community.

And by negative feelings, I don't mean the feeling that the game needs more improvements on this or more improvements on that, but the fact that, as a fellowman in the community some of you would literally read "Sorry guys, I was in the hospital! Maybe I'm working too hard! He he! Happy New Year!" and say "We don't care about how you spent your holiday or that you were critically ill... Fix our damn game!". That is the reason you're being told to "get lost" because you don't have compassion enough to be a person. That's not the type of thing people want in a "community".

White-Knighting... wow... Such audacity!

Please do not assume I was bashing anyone please check your information and do not quote me if I do not fit in your post. I was only making a comment about something I agree with please refer to the op of my reply if you are looking for a fight.

I'm not looking for a fight...that would be the exact opposite of what I have been saying the whole time. lol. Also, I quoted YOU and directed my reply to YOU based on the question you posed, rhetorical as it maybe about, "I can't understand how we aren't allowed to question it." I answered YOU and then went on to again bring up the fact you can do what you want but when you ask why you and other's get bashed it's not you as a person but you as the person questioning the letter and how you as the person questioning it asked with such malice towards another person and that person busting his A$$ since he took over.

So despite the fact it is, you say they aren't? Well even though you're wrong it certainly is your opinion. We've seen the same trailers and getting the same demo that's been passed out for Mass Effect 3 for a year now...Bioware isn't making Mass Effect 3?

you simply said I was bashing someone when I wasn't if you did not direct that me I apologize but my post was in concern with the game and the game alone

And then there's this. ^ Well done Tahldon.

I wish I had your immune system, to never get bed ridden or sent to the hospital!

I'd like to know where you pulled that information from... oh, wait... your ass.

I never said anyone should "never get bed ridden or sent to the hospital." I said that using that as the sole purpose for a letter is a cop-out. And it is. He could have used what he had written, waited a week & added game-related information and no one would be bothered by the letter. Using the letter as a means only to say "sorry, no info, I r sicky!" is really un-needed, especially when you consider that no major information has been provided in a good length of time, the playerbase has dwindled due to payment commencement, and some players are still unable to play due to a "new" payment system not being ready that was touted as being available in November.

yeah i don't really care about me3 I care about xiv right now I'm excited about 2.0 but I also want to play the game now and have new stuff do .... simple.
