    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.

    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.

    Disclaimer;
    I have no idea what development a game must be or how is it done, i am just a player. Nothing less, nothing more.


    I fear for the game future if the update info they give us is this.I dont care if they are working on a complete overhaul.There is absolutely no reason to "update" us that they are gonna make the magic animation bigger.I only see two reasons.

    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.

    Flame if you like but there is just so much people can take.

    Hmm, I see 36 topics on the "In Development" forum as of right now, some of them containing larger, some smaller changes. If this is what we get for a month or two, sounds fine to me.

    Although considering the most recent topic came out of nowhere and seems to be ready for the next patch, I am inclined to disagree. They will post more changes even outside the current 36 we can see.

    yea definitely worth a thread.
    Discuss the "Enhancement of battle effects", as that is the name of the devtag. Maybe I simply have more imagination than you, but I can think of several things to say about the battle effects than just their size. This is what these discussion threads are for. This is why they posted the tag. To get feedback on the subject.

    Wish i could be as naive . Honestly . I do wish so.if in 3 months this is what they can accomplish , i think we are waiting for a lot longer than i personally will wait on this game to recover.
    Honestly wish im wrong from the bottom of a small fan heart.

    I may be wrong, I'm not claiming otherwise. Yet the estimated development time for all of the topics in the "In Development" forum is from one to three-four months at most, especially if they are released in stages like the combat system overhaul. The time is due for everything listed to be complete in May. Either they deliver or they won't, but you can't look at the last 3 (2 really) months as an indicator of anything. It is not naive to assume that the development of the larger topics on that list takes more than few months. The smaller topics have been implemented in stages in the last few months too, not all at once. Even if alone they do not require that much development time, added together they still make quite a list of planned changes, enough to last for months as well.

    Seriously, if you look at the topic for "AH", "Jumping" or "Combat overhaul" and assume that the development of those features takes as little time and resources as the development on "Implementation of increased item sizes after finalization" or "Improvements to skill point acquisition for parties", that's just not how it works. There is a reason why small changes are coming before the big ones, it is because they take less time to develop and there is no reason to not implement them if they're ready.

    They can still mess up the rehauls and/or delay them, but we are only now getting to the point when we should expect the majority of content in the producer's letters to be done. If they were working on them since September that wouldn't be the case, but they have been working on them since January at best, February at worst. We all know why that is.

    I really hope they do alter some of the lackluster spell effects other than simply a size increase...

    If the game engine is designed properly, all a size increase of the effect would take is multiplying the scale variable by 1.5 or 2...

    Are you fucking kidding me? Se you honestly think an increase in size will make IT ALL SUPER AWESOME?

    The Duration Sucks
    The Effect Sucks
    The Animation Sucks

    Making Flare a little big bigger doesn't make it feel impressive.

    Such a let down.
