Don't like necroing threads, but I didn't spot it when it was active...

Long story short? Locking solo/small-team players out of the endgame (or making it too onerous - bad enough about the shard requirement, but if it's not possible to get a Notice a week...) might make me quit. Going to the NCSoft launcher will guarantee I leave. I know my $20 (have to use game cards a month isn't much, but it'll go with me.

Okay folks, place your bets when (if) the next monthly producer's letter will drop.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I wonder if they continue this feature. It really doesn't reveal anything, give us an idea of what's happening etc. However, it is nice to see....um....this...hello?...

To be fair, the first monthly letter came out on January 10th, so I wouldn't expect to see one until middle of next week.

seems like a lot of pointless rhetoric.

until the folks at paragon actually put resources in play to actually improve the game, and not just keep spitting out half-finished issues, then they will never regain the community's support.

we don't want hello letters. we don't need to be continually reassured of more great content to come. we yearn for the Dev's to listen to our concerns, and do something about the large laundry list of issues, bugs, annoyances, quirks and quips that drive us crazy as players.

where is the Issue XX: repairs.

and maybe, just maybe after seven years, can the base editors get some love...they're hated worse than villains.

@Nuprin Feelgood ... pew pew pew

Maybe next Tuesday, so there's a week of WST activity to comment on?

I hadn't heard they'd lost it?

Gratz on the new position!

REALLY excited about incarnate lvl play. Latest developments are a brilliant way to motivate players to really get into the existing content AND unifies them on a weekly basis on what TF/SF they are looking for. Kudos AND thanks for making it MUCH easier to find a team with similar goals.

I do hope that you will try to sneak in a new lvl 50ish TF/SF or 2 with the various incarnate slots opened in future Issue releases.

But even more important I hope you will also remember to evolve the SG/VG system as you have the other elements of the game. Please give us story arcs to earn SG/VG badges and upgrade storage units. Please give us SG/VG badges to earn that will give us recipe storage.

I'm all for the power of the incarnate, but don't forget that the SG/VGs are the backbone of the player community and will be COMPLETELY OVERJOYED at those kinds of additions.

Toss in some more 3D base items (colorable crystals, CoT sconces, basically anything we see in our missions is the dream goal - The SG/VGs would be HAPPY to jump through whatever in game hoops you want to create to earn the privledge), and you will NOT believe the amount of excitement it would raise in Vet population.

But I digress. Incarnate system continues to be a wonderful way inspire us to enjoy our 50s. Please keep the innovation coming on ALL aspects of the game.
