Think of these two screenshots as blueprints of what we're making.
What you aremakin or what you have already made ? VU cycle is way too long be them platform update and planetside. I was expecting a VU this month :s. There was once a promising and fun game called project entropia where there was a VU with a shorter timeframe where withdrawal sit off nowaday.
It is like if this game died and someone (MA) is struggling to maintening core project source code while making it evolve without understanding all the source code hiding their tweaks with the 'dynamic system' description from a rapport of a long time fired employee. People who trusted the original project (planet partners ) release mods of the original game while not attaining he cohesion which once existed. Instead of improving they have some steps of amateurish moments. Instead of improving you only modify (ie modified loot ) and instead of expnading you nerf.
It tooks 6 months for SEE to release their first update wich basically only consisted of a single mob ( shinkiba) which was only a replacement of an already existing mob (daikiba).
Arkadia hired some guy who had great modeling background to make a rather graphic mod of the existing planet while introducing their story .
Rocktropia did it the neverdie way, lots of ideas so mix of genre cause he can't have only one theme in his large view, but fail in coding and packaging and finally put mission on shared mobs while he could have released missions chain on vixen or other player friendly mobs.
Next island was a mod of an investor dream who has been hit by the reality with many poor chanoice cause of his lack of understanding of the interaction between game and RCE.
Cyrene, well no comments, i love it caause it's something breathing and immersive but not finished. For me it's still in soft launch after 1.5 years.
Calypso changed head so many times that they lost the feeling of the old Calypso planet. It's like if they want a whole new game but are too lazy or incompetent (screw existing gear without respect for players or shy to realize it ( new area around eos, where is it Kim ?? ). They keep it cause being a MA branch, it provide a test planet for the whole platform.)
Now you show us a teaser, i appreciate it if it belong NOT in teh unfinished projects around EU.
As i said VU cycle slow down the whole universe and people have time to get bored cause new content introduced is bugged and unusable for 3 months.
Anyway, this game is unique potential is huge but each time there is so much fails beside the good stuff that i onlly slowly lose faith.
So , i sicerely hope that both next PP and platform VU will be before 15 october for the good of the game, and for the sake of Calypso, that what you try to show us with this teaser will be 'usable content'.
