So, will we see any VIP improvements in this Update?

You know they're probably not going to answer that, right?

Of course. But I'm not going to stop anyway. It's going to be a loooong year, for both them and me.

[thegreatcthulhu]

"Unlikely Heroes"... OK. I'll accept that one.

I am sincerely hoping the next archetype update adds something that interests me.

But on the bright side, I'm looking forward to the improvements for Paladins!

The one getting in the way of your happiness is mostly you.

Don't let them dictate that much of your life to you.

Forum minigames are also fun

Too bad I don't get past lives out of it, though...

After 3 rounds of almost no dialog from Devs and horrible feedback on the archtypes, you are still pushing this out?

Go read the Lamania feedback! It is not good, not in the slightest. If you want to publish the fixes and UI changes, maybe the quest, fine. But these Archtypes are not ready for consumption.

As only one of those two parties is reading (or writing) those posts, I think you are only half right. But I appreciate the effort even if I think to be futile.

Yes, resistance is futile. But I will never surrender, never give up. Muahaha.

Update 58: Unlikely (to be played) Heroes!

FTFY

The archetypes seem to get worse and worse with each batch, and the devs show less and less self-reflection and willingness to listen to players about it each cycle

Blightcaster is at least 3/4 baked, but the other two I dont see having any defined role at all, they're going to get banished to the junk pile along with DA...and AotS may take its crown as "worst designed archetype"

I bet the patch notes dont even correct the typos that players have pointed out since the first page of Preview 1

Of course it’s getting pushed out in an incomplete state—it’s the SSG way.
I’ll bet they’ll justify it by stating that they’re completely optional, so it doesn’t matter.

Getting tired of half-assed updates coupled with ignoring the players’ concerns. I think they’re conducting some psychological case study at this point. I mean, no professional company can possibly have this many missteps on accident.

At this point you cannot look at it in any other way.

Release Notes will be available on Wednesday.

Why aren't they already available? Have you guys not finished writing them yet?

It takes time to Copy/Paste all 5 of the Lamannia preview 3 posts.

Happy Anniversary

Let there be many fine gifts.

I hugely agree. The archetypes could be as impactful as class releases but people are IGNORING THEM due to how little time in the oven they are getting. Blightcaster looks like the first one where a sizable portion of the community is excited.

SSG it is in your benefit to let these cook longer!
You absolutely need to make these appealing given how positive they are for the game. The idea is great but the implementation has been all off.

Just hope they didn’t just give us the last week’s Lama code where Thorn Lance can crash frames, clients, and instances.
