Thread: So about the next patch (1.17)

I want to believe 1.17 will be some significant new content (i.e. companies) but it seems strange that they'd just use the tag and "new sidequests" rather than announcing companies specifically. The rest of the changes sound preeeeeeetty trivial so in my "bleh, more of this crap?" response I might have overlooked the significance of the companies tag =/

Are we sure Grand Companies are all about new quests only? I don't think so. Well, really hope it isn't so.. :/

Btw, very good patch.

Or simply their schedule won't hold, which is also possible. Environment collision detection adjustments are pretty huge (although do not have as much of an impact for the work it takes to finish).

Do what are they going to do with "environment collision"?

Could someone break this down for me?

[dev1039] The reduction of randomness affecting the approach phase in gathering

What is the approach phase?

Well I had heard that the environmental collision takes a lot of work to implement but yeah it is kind of trivial in the impact it has. It's definitely something I could have overlooked for a while in favour of more interesting things. Also what was the date they gave for the second update again? (may or may not be planning how many games I need to keep me busy from now until then )
