Development letter for August.

[slackjoint]

So nothing new, and they talk about the 3rd and 4th bosses, mmh, is sezmra aware we've already worked on the 5th one too, that the 3rd and 4th are not even available right now since the 1st and 5th ones have been tweaked and brought back and are being tested right now ? Basically there is only 1 boss left to be seen, everything else has been already tested and received feedbacks from the raid teams..

Is Sezmra even aware of anything in AoC

Is Sezmra even aware of anything in AoC

exactly, the truth

[xBattleaxex]

Again ... Funcom tell us about T6 ... and on Fury now there is no T4 raid and no T5 raid ... so, we don't need T6, T6 is too far in the sky...

we don't need new pve big instances for raids... our instances are already empty ...
we need little instances for solo or 2 or 3 players ....

and, above all :
what about PVP ? new map ? new things ?
what about arena ? pve arena and pvp arena ?
what about craft system ?
what about new pvp ranks ? level R10 to R15 ?
what about new AA progression ?

funcom : are you waiting the moment when fury will be a big desert to do something ?

Thank you for the, first, very informative letter even for the testlive raiders and second, obviously targetted to the majority of the playerbase, rawr!

Is this the same company that wants to tackle new AA, new weapons and combos for all classes and crafting revamp?

None of which is ever going to happen. It's just hype to get people to stay subbed, or get vets to resub.

Unless AoC gets bought by another company, this game will continue to coast along with minimal updates. It's time we all stop beating the dead horse and just accept the fact it's over. Servers will stay up, but nothing much is really going to happen.

Well, both Cirith and Pyzerius are content designers / encounter scripters. I suppose they have to negotiate really hard with the TSW team (nominally the "live games" team) to get visual artists / graphics designers to dedicate a few hours to AoC.

So much for the promised "synergy" due to dreamworld engine update in 2011 (?).
I count one pumpkin boss (which actually was nice, but only available during special event), some scripts possibly and a lot of graphical glitches and bugs (see through armor, black shadow armor paintings, weird girdles, missing game textures (nodes) and world placeables (mountains, cages etc.) as stuff that came as "synergy".

Except for a big raid tier, which unlike the last one isn't re-using old assets we've seen before. Oh and probably the crafting revamp as well, considering they originally wanted to release it during this Spring, unless you're one of those who believe it's vapourvare and that Funcom is outright lying to us.

Crafting revamp isn't coming. Too much work, not enough people left. I believe they started it, but they can't finish it.

As for the raid(which was supposed to be released in 2011), it'll be the last big content update this game sees. So enjoy it.

It already is...
