but still no confirmed date about path

So now leves are going to take forever to complete in a party setting. Oddly enough he mentioned making things more casual...and yet...

I guess solo players will be happy.

The patch will either be here next week or the week after next.

Well, he said that leves are going to be the defacto content for solo players and casuals -- you know, the people who need that kind of structure in their leveling process.

Hopefully after they redo leves, they redo behests, add more dungeons, and add elite/party mob only areas for people who want to group.

This patch will have some drastic changes. wow is all I can say for the moment, let me gather my thoughts lol

How can you say that? How the hell do you know? I really wouldn't be so sure. If it was coming that soon they would have said so.

while i like the information this letter offered, would of loved it even more if we heard about jobs. Since it seems like auto attack is in 1.18 along with dungeons and guild leve. 1.19 focuses on DoL and DoH but still no word on when jobs will come out.

It was a good read, and I actually feel much more optimistic about the game now. March on Dev Team! We believe in you!

As for sidequests, he mentioned that NPC interactions will be required. I hope that they will make it into simple cutscenes when NPCs are talking, it will go a long way in making players feel more involved.
