Is it meaningful PvP?

Is it the core and a brand new set of tiers?

Just throw us a bone: at least tell us what's to come, and an estimate perhaps. Many of my friends, myself included, are really discouraged about the lack of content for us hardcore players, but even more discouraged by the fact there is very little developer feedback. Personally, I love this game, because it has so much potential. But the sad reality is that there is no player competition, no drive to be a better player, and many of us would like to see that changed.

A carrot on a stick would be lovely motivation to keep playing. Devs, would you mind telling us what the current project is?

tho there is no devblog, I have seen clues of whats to come and of course things that we know are coming.

-there was a thread was about videos in which one mod stated that the current "final boss" should not be called the final boss. This means that more bosses and possibly more tiers are in the making.

-during closed beta, there were a set of pvp arenas that were tier based and included rewards and leaderboards. I have a feeling they took it out for release because during the last parts of the closed beta, those arenas were barely being used (at least from what I could tell). Maybe they're working on a better way to get people to join in.

-there was once a construction road block at the right most part of the arcade and eastern end of the town square. Many speculate that something in Haven has still yet to be revealed. This can be a number of things (a lot of us hope its an AH). But recently, those construction barriers have disappeared, which confuses me as to what is going on in that area of the game.

But I agree, some kind of feedback from the devs would be nice. Since release, there has only been 2 news posts, which is pretty low for a brand new game.

Yeah, I've tried to talk

Yeah, I've tried to talk about the actual final boss a few times, but the mods keep editing my posts.

Also, still say they closed pvp 'cause of how unbalanced I made it look at the end. x:

I've seen vids of PvP battles.
It doesn't look unbalanced it's just everyone wears what everyone else was wearing, and not the counters to it.

Somewhat lacking

I have had very similar feelings. I know most of the players were not in the preview, but aside from the token system and jelly king there hasn't been very much content added since the holidays. A few enemy and area reskins are great and all, but we were told the core would be something by now and we would have the east side and all manner of other promises, with about the only one I can think of being fulfilled is the redesigned gate system. It's just very off-putting, and it would be nice to know there's something cool in the works, even if it's just a hint, gamers love to speculate about the smallest tidbits of info.

I was actually thinking of making a topic like this. I also think it's really weird there's been no news of what's to come o.O

Magnus, the only reason they think you've unbalanced PvP is because I hadn't started playing the game yet. B)

Nothing bad could ever come of such a thing.

Second Life isn't that bad.

Second Life isn't that bad. Could be better though some days. They're going to be adding support for COLLADA modeling sooner or later.

If you really want to attract furries, add more armour with tails. Chromalisk's aren't enough. >)

What I want to see next

What I want to see next: Real in-game player economy functions.

Player trading posts, shops. Real player market, not just an auction house.

(And yes, you'd need an auction house for any form of unique variant).

Oh yea: Better chat. Please, better chat. At least as good as YPP's chat.

I know everyone is clamoring

I know everyone is clamoring for an auction house, but the ability to set up player (or perhaps guilds) shops would be wonderful! Where people could places items on display and others could wander in, examine the wares, and purchase things without the owner being present. Naturally there would have to be a cost attached to owning such a shop, and only a limited number of spaces available. But it might be workable for guilds to pay for shops that their members can use to sell items. Maybe I am taking too big of a page from a certain other OOO game...

I know there is a general feeling around that there will be another/more boss(es), perhaps even extended tiers. But is it presumed there will be significant item additions to go along with that?

O_O Everything in this thread

O_O Everything in this thread should be in the Suggestions section.

Anyways, I did ask for a devblog in Suggestions. But then, I saw andrzej in the Questions thread saying that they are planning on something like a devblog =D Let's just hope they'll do it soon.
