Thoughts on the Yoshi P AMA?

Out of that entire QA this is the only question I feel that matters to everyone.

Q: I really liked Eureka and Bozja, really looking forward to the new big field content in DT

A: Thank youuuu, please look forward to it!


I have 0 faith in the Viera and Hrothgar hat updates. It looks like alot of the resources are being put into the graphics update so I dont expect stuff like inventory, glamor plates, etc will be updated until 7.1 or 7.2 at the earliest.

This is the first and only time they've ever outright said they are actively in the process of rectifying the problem. In the past it has always just been noncommittal responses or outright rejections such as "we'll see what we can do", "that would be very difficult" or "there would be a lot of clipping". Here he actually says the process is underway which we already knew from patch data around 6.5, but seeing it confirmed in words is a big step until we start actually seeing results. The entire procedure of standardizing facial polygons between each race is part of this I reckon.

A new Eureka-Bozja has been confirmed since a few days after NA fanfest so this is just further confirmation of what we already knew. I just wouldn't expect big updates on it until post 7.0 because Bozja also wasn't announced at all until the 5.2-ish liveletter.

Its answers like these that I seriously wish we all can just commit and to unsub. I bet once they see the money pool go down they'll start actually hauling ass with the changes people have been asking for years.

Sure, but the majority of people have to be actually unhappy enough with these things to unsub, rather than simply considering it a minor disappointment but not a dealbreaker, and then somehow communicate to the devs that those specific elements are why they are unsubbing.

Plus if things are genuinely low priority because they're difficult to achieve or a poor return on investment, then they would probably still be low priority if the game was losing money.

I guess a lot of people who don't unsub just don't do it because of their houses or their fc. We loose fc leadership already after 30 days. So people who own a fc can't even make a break for a month without punishment.

This is also true. But directly the formula for drastic change only happens when theres an emergency and sadly for the people that feel so unsatisfied with this game, theyre either A. The actual minority and B. Too complacent anf lazy to actually go through the first step of unsubbing for real.

It is what it is

35 days to be precise, and yes FC leaders can take breaks. They just can't (and shouldn't be) lengthy breaks so long as they intend to remain in control of the FC, because the FC needs a leader.

Additionally, having been on the resolving end of a situation where leadership got messy – the old leader came back and reclaimed position during a free login period, then vanished, and I was left as the highest ranked member left waiting to "catch" their expiring leadership role and pass it back to the correct leader – we would have been quite stuck if they were able to just hold that position in absence for longer. The timer is there for a sensible reason.

Katana sheathes (and handles) do get all the fancy design work because the setup doesn't allow for the actual blades to be ornate, but the card holders have less variety than you're assuming. They're treated as individual to each star globe, but it's always the same model, just with a different colour scheme.

Same model different color scheme is still more than same box and look since it's first appearance. It would be like if cars still looked like a model T and only came in black. Even if I'm stuck with the Model T for looks I would hope that I could at least get it in a different color pattern. And Yes I know many MCH really would love an emperor's new lunchbox option where it is hidden from view cause of all sorts or reasons. Yet any time someone has asked for the ability to hide it in any shape or form we get told that it can't happen. So if that isn't on the table then could they at least change up how the damn thing looks like? As for at least then people could design an outfit that didn't have it clash all the time.

Different situation though, because it's meant to be one consistent (and recently invented) device that you're using in combination with an assortment of guns you've acquired from other sources.

To continue your car analogy, it's not that all cars ever manufactured look like Model T, rather that it is the equivalent of 1908 and you have a new and shiny Model T that you are using all the time.

If this is good depends a lot on the situation. In your situation it was of course good.

If someone is running an FC, they should not be absent without making arrangements for the continued running of the FC. Simple as that.

But you ever heard of small fcs, for example, of rl friendgroups? If almost everyone is inactive, because of the current state of the game it's just a punishment for the leader. Or a risk that someone else inactive gets lead and you can't get it back without that person is forced to resub.

I know it's not designed to run small fcs. But in reality there are really a lot of those small fcs because not everyone likes the feeling of being in a big one.

So again, it depends on the situation, if it's good or bad.
