Letter From the Producer IX.

I'm confused. It took them one year to make Mass Effect 2, or to fix it? I haven't followed the game, so I have no idea.

Well considering it was a single player console game that requires considerably less work than an MMO, I think the standards of how fast someone can actually create something does apply. This game has received more updates in the past few months than I've seen some get in a year or more.

I've never played WoW and prob won't ever play it. People need to stop comparing everything to it. If a game is adding it, they will put their own spin on it. If you don't like it, leave. Pure and simple.

Some studios are better than other, most times it takes a long time, take D3 for example. Quality Control.

But then take TERA which has an insane update speed.

A call of duty game takes 2 years to create even with an fully steady built engine. Hell codmw3 is being developped by 3 studios lol But thats because IW are only in it for 1 year to ensure quality.

IW doesn't exist.

TERA having a fast update speed isn't comparable to FFXIV. FFXIV is still very much in development and doesn't have a stable base to start pumping out 'updates' on.

Let alone all of the spaghetti code being found. You can easily tell that this game was rushed, and that they didn't decide the deadline for themselves. However, even with all of the stringy codes, they have a pretty solid base to work with adding new code and re-organizing everything. Its must faster for them to pump out these updates than it would be if they had to completely redeisgn the game from scratch. In other words, they are working as fast as they can. They want to make money as fast as we want our updates.

As big of a game as this should've been, is being made into that game right now, with Tanaka (NOT CANNED) behind the scenes, implementing what he planned to implement. (With this said, no more whining about wanting Tanaka back, he is still with us.)

[Arcell]

Even though there are vast sweeping changes coming, anyone who finds no enjoyment of the game in it's current state at all may want to look at their other options. I'm not saying "If you don't like it GTFO!" but it stands to reason that if you don't enjoy something at all you should find something you do enjoy. The game is going to change a lot but a lot of the base we have now is still going to be there.

Although SE broke my heart.
i still have high hopes for this game.
i will still sit back, watch and wait patiently

[Radaghast]

I want to know whether the 50 dungeons are designed to be raids or just 50 group dungeons...

Guessing group since we don't have alliances.
