dev1037 New Battle Effects

[Abriael]

These "headline updates" on the lodestone are starting to depress even me. And Im a "fanboy". (ToT)

Quite the contrary. Every devXXXX post should (and probably will) go there. At the moment it's more or less always the same people discussing devXXXX topics on the forum. Fossilization in feedback is never a good thing, so it's a good idea to make new dev threads more visible (attracting more people to discuss) by putting them on the lodestone.
The purpose of the lodestone is exactly that, announcing things. There's no reason why it should be limited only to major updates.

1 - What you see is what you get.There is Nothing else ready for a long time.
2 - The Yoshida marketing scheme just went down the drain.If you dont got something good to say, then dont say anything at all.

3 - (and most logical one) from now on all the devXXXX threads will be posted on the lodestone to attract more discussion and feedback on them from players that normally don't actively take part on the forums. Given that the post count of the one that opened this thread is 1, I would say it's working.
