Topic: Avatar Creations wtf?

What are you doing?  It's been next to forever getting this next patch out.  We need some substance, we are still looking at 50% content for over 3 months!!

We need something.  We need substance in the token shop.  Come on, something..  Anything.

Re: Avatar Creations wtf?

I think (an opinion that can be dismissed) that the small-feature or balance patches that are on the roadmap should not get clumped together into one big patch. 

This way there are more, more frequent, small updates, that players can see is a consistent history of development.  This would also allow bugs to be addressed in a more modular way, addressing the issue that one update brought, instead of many at once.

Outside of player activity, dev-activity is the only thing to draw attention in newsfeeds that potential new and old players will see and attract them back to the game.

HOW DARE YOU EVEN HINT AT THE CONCEPT OF AGILE. How dare you sir! How dare you!   

Just because of the rest of the known world finds iteration to be successful does NOT mean that it'll work in Hungary.  I vote to ban you for such a suggestion. 

Gosh.  The audacity of some people.

Please take your logical thinking else where. That kind thing is not welcome on these forums! roll

Re: Avatar Creations wtf?

The beta island rework is taking longer than expected, that's all.

Re: Avatar Creations wtf?

What's exactly taking longer and what will the next patch include?

What the latest blog said. Possibly more, but I will assess that when we're done with the islands (Hokkogaros is left).

Re: Avatar Creations wtf?

Keep up the good work!

We've waited 5 years for a quality Beta experience and a reason to live there, in the large scheme a week or two more doesn't mean much. Knowing it's coming has been enough to create a good vibe when discussing Perpetuum as we often do.

Do you have  realistic timeframe?  2 weeks or a month?

I'd love to say 2 weeks, but you'll multiply that by potato anyway so...

The Hungarian mathematical equation for "potato" is some thing that will take mathematicians centuries to discover.

Re: Avatar Creations wtf?

2 weeks = potato.  Do ur thing zoom.

You guys are the ones behind the scenes doing the stuff, you tell us.  I know you think saying "no new progress" is worse than saying nothing at all but sometimes it's nice to know you all didn't die in a car fire.

I can't help but read this in the tone of a man defeated, taken prisoner, and beaten repeatedly for many years.

Your like those dudes playing violin as the titanic goes down, only without the skill or dignity.

Proverbs 23:20-21 warns us, “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags."
