Hamlet Defense?

[Gramul]

Firstly he said he had no more information at this time, secondly the developers don't need to answer to you, its time some of you guys stopped acting as if you have a right to this information, we are basically beta testing still, we aren't paying a monthly fee, so sit down and be quiet and wait for information when it is ready.

I'm only trying help them keep a strong relationship with us. I'm not trying to discredit them.
I understand that they don't need to share every little thing, but you need to realize that the general audience is impatient with this game and won't give it the time it needs to improve without a lot of information on how it's going to change, and we can't survive on the meager amount of players we already have to keep the game alive for the next few years.

Man, some people are just so impatient -_-

Ehm... we were told about those things in September... I think we've got all the rights to be impatient >.>
I'm so tired of reading "in the future" as answer to every question...

Yeah, too bad this game has to be REDESIGNED, eh?

Ans so? Did I say I want them now? I want to know. If we didn't ask for Hamlets in this topic we might have been waiting for them for ages without knowing they've been scrapped. Oh wait, they're not scrapped, they may be in consideration, but maybe in a different way, maybe it will be somthing in line of what Tanaka proposed, or maybe it will be something totally different, or maybe we'll never hear anything about them :O we'll know "in the future"...

Wasn't this redesign supposed to be based on communication? where's the communication now? Tell me one single aspect about the future updates that we know something about except that "they're gonna come in the future"...
Honestly I think we've been patient enough, we complained about Tanaka's communication, but Yoshi-P isn't definitely better then him, he's just telling us to wait for info, not even for the patches and he's giving info only when the servers are down for the update... lol, great communication plan...
So tell me, since everyone is bringing up the "redesign excuse" when will I be allowed to be angry about the total lack of communication?

When there's a total lack of communication? I think this forum in itself is proof enough that we are more in the know of what they're doing now than before with Tanaka in his ivory tower.

Or would you rather us post all of our questions back on the community message boards where it's like talking to a brick wall with no responses from developers again?

By the way, saying that Yoshida isn't better than tanaka at communicating info is absolutely laughable. Yoshida gives us a ton of info. Tanaka gave very little. He just does that when that info is finalyzed, like *any* game developer with a grain of professionality does and should do.

You demanding info doesn't mean that you're entitled to it whenever you want. As a matter of fact, you're not.

Tell me one single aspect about the future updates that we know something about except that "they're gonna come in the future"...

I'm waiting...

EDIT: And I would add that this redesign was said to be based on communication, how can there be communication if we don't know anything? stop saying Yoshida is giving info, look at his letters, he's not. Saying something will be implemented "in the future" is not an info, we already know it >.>
And this is not "professional" stop pretending everything is good, look at Guild Wars 2 or TERA (and I'm not talking about the games, I don't like to make comparisons, especially if the games aren't already released) we know more about them, even of their future updates and they're not even released!

Stop pretending we're communicating with the devs, we are making questions, they're answering "we'll let you know sometime in the future" this is not communicating.

The communication is good, in my opinion (but not perfect). When the Community Team gets updates from the Development Team, they do not hesitate to let us know. And sometimes ... just sometimes ... we get some new information.

"Settlements" would an example of that, if we were going to stay on topic.

[Sorel]

So ...

These "settlements" that we will be fighting in or around ... someone said they could be Grand Company related. Since the hamlets are actually independent of the City-States, it would make sense that if these battles are related to Grand Companies, that they cannot take place in hamlets for political reasons.

I imagine the settlements will be like the outpost forts from Campaign in FFXI and we will be fighting over the territories like that.

I think we'll get something close to a roadmap after the battle system overhaul
