crystal tool and server : some news ?

[Evangelus]

i got a reply form rep in the french forum topic (google translate) :

Hello!

Unfortunately at the moment it is impossible to give details on a possible overhaul of the server or the optimization of the graphics engine. I can just confirm again that everything is made ​​to ensure that features like better administration tools linkshell emerge as soon as possible. It is the same for improved game performance at both graphic network.

I'm really sorry not being able to provide more information.

That was a nice trick to make them answer.

I guess the next idea is to post there a thread on C&B and the payments options to get some kind of (lol-we-don't-know) answer too.

Ah, and for those who can't decipher our froggy language, the rep there is also reminding us that the engine team and the events team are distinct.

Why does this need a bump? Evangelus already posted the answer they gave us. I wouldn't expect to hear anything about server issues and graphical improvements until at least 1.21.

Because everytime SE answers they never did actually answer in some people's mind. I always think of this when I see "We need an answer SE!"

Guy: "What color is the sky?"
Girl: "Blue..sometimes grey when it rains."
Guy: "What color is the sky...?"
Girl: "Blue..."
Guy: "Why aren't you answering me?"
Girl: "I just said it was Blue.."
Guy 2: "What color is the sky? We need an answer here."
Guy: "Exactly."
Guy 3: "What they said."
Girl: "I just said it was Blue."
Guy: "WE NEED AN ANSWER DAMNIT."

Wonder if it means they need more people to work on crystal tools to get it optimised for PC, could show the problems they have are bigger than they thought.

Either that or Crystal tools could be obsolete in a few years.
