Audience responses from FanFest

Last fanfest though they did announce the Au Ra a new race but they didn't this time around.

Last time the EU fanfest was the first one. The one with a trailer and a shirt.

The only piece of info that really got a meh response was commenting on relic and it being tied to the Eureka content. People seemed very apprehensive about the idea though I personally thought it sounded cool. Since they may actually detach the idea of relic being gained through doing older content and actually have relic tied to it's own unique content.

People were booing and quite displeased when he said that aether currents were going to be required again. I certainly would have been booing also if I were there!

I loved exploring for Aethercurrents in Heavensward myself. Looking forward to hunting for them again in 4.0.

I believe every one that watched the live stream would have realised how miserable the responses are for the keynote. It was so awkward for YoshiP and Koji.

I just wanna say, even if I'm not there at the venue, I'm cheering you on from behind the screen YoshiP!

All it really boils down to there not being enough information to cheer for. I mean, they annouced a revamped combat system and... nothing. Noones going to cheer for that as noone has any idea what they mean. It could be good, it could be bad, but since there was no information regarding noone knows how to feel about it.

Well, except for the new anima/relic weapon... noone likes that lol. Complete silence there haha. TAKE THE HINT PLEASE!!!

I'd be furious too that they didn't drop enough information within the first hour of a two day event. The horror.

That is not true : EU Fanfest was the second one, one week after Las Vegas.
Las Vegas had the Batman t-shirt. EU Fanfest confirmed DRK and then showed the James Bond t-shirt.

Aether currents weren't so bad, some were enjoyable and others were rather annoying to find. Keep the undercurrents but remove the quest related ones is the way to go imho, that way we can unlock flying early if we want, and they aren't locked behind long quest chains or a quest at the very end of the MSQ. Gotta love unlocking flying only to leave for the next area. :s

Enjoyed the currents honestly. Made flight feel that much more impactful after crawling around the map.

[Saito_S]

Yeah, I liked aethercurrents! They were fun to hunt down, and gave a good feeling of accomplishment once you had them all and could take off on your flying mount of choice. I agree with Colorful that ditching the quest-based ones would be better, though; just keep the ones that make you explore the map.

There are 3 days of events, TWO concerts, and we're only a few hours in. I doubt many who are there are seething with rage and regretting paying for their ticket.

the girl in red is 98% sure someone with know and her class is not monk, the movement are not fitting, more kick and some attack with her clothes plus her clothing is clearly a dancing attire then.... take a guess.

Please remember it is a prerendered cutscene with a major npc in an exclusive costume and not an in game render using attack animations. Both derplander and the lady-in-red launch similar numbers of punches and kicks. Also she does not attack with her clothes that was an open hand horizontal chop fro her left hand with her sleeve following behind.
