A Respectful Request For Updates

[Fetchi]

I'm happy the jester is back.

I'm happy people enjoy screen shots of the week.

What I enjoy are updates about development. I know it's a lot to ask. I miss the old Weekly Development Activities.

The dev tracker has been stale lately. I'm sure like many people, it's the first place people look when they come to the forums.

When upper management stops communicating, I think people start complaining more on the forums. And I hate reading about nerfing this or that, or this guy told me how to play my toon type posts.

So can you please let us know anything about what's in the works for the future, so we can start talking about something else besides crafting and nerfs.

Thank you.

Dont forget to check the Lama Land Dev tracker sometimes. It is separate to keep non-live stuff from cluttering up the live server discussion forums. I always forget, and then find out later than an entire set of changes and patches was placed on Lama and then canceled due to negative feedback.

There has been lots of Dev activity over in the Lammania Forums lately.

[Fetchi]

Yeah, I check both of them frequently when I take a break from work.

Understandably. That's more damage control due to the raid/named loot in crafting. I'm talking about dev communication in terms of classes/races/PrEs/content/combat/spells.

Maybe a dev blog or something. That would be interesting.

Wasnt there a Dev Blog once? I think that was before my time. The only qualm I would have about a Dev Blog would be taking time away from their work.

Usually the Dev Tracker is lively enough, but between the holiday weekend, and the 10.1 patch, they have had their attention elsewhere. True, we havent heard much about what will actually happen in Update 11.

I agree on the stale dev tracker. Probably as they find who to punish for the lamfail. LOL

Did they ever do Dev Diaries here? I know they did those on LotRO ... let me dig up an example ... Here we go (http://www.lotro.com/gameinfo/devdiaries/1083-update-2-evendim-revamp-developer-diary) ... these were nice, even if they did require a bit of work.

I agree. I'd love to see more from the devs, I'm really starting to get into this game, and into the DnD mindset myself -- I actually know what the hell 3d6 means now, bwahaha.
