i have a solution

go play Guild Wars, youll get bored of it in a few weeks if you are like most gamers, then you will come back and there will be a new patch up

[vutescu]

Does everyone think that Nevrax are just sitting there not doing anything right now?.

As a matter of fact yes, I do believe that 90% from the Nervax team is spending time watching movies and drinking beer instead of working.

Do people think they're going to add content that isn't 100% bug free?

Yes. They done that in the past.

Do you all think that Nevrax will just add all the existing rites in one go and not to their own planned schedule?

You are kidding. I can make a schedule when I'm eating my breakfast and polish it to look "well-planned"

Don't you realise that if they add a load of content, and there are problems that this will halt work on outposts as they're sorted out?

They told us that are separate teams.

There are already bugs with the current patch that will now need fixing and push back outposts.

IF they would done the job properly they would not had porblems with bugs.

Nevrax only have limited resources: when spring cleaning, the content adding framework, outposts, newly introduced bugs are finished/fixed they will finally have time to add more content.

That looks for me like a mindless expansion without a base. I should not extend my house with another room if I'd knew I might run out of money.

Vut, you should really get a job as a diplomat for a country that wants to START wars while trying to appear open to negotiation.

Failing that a job here...

...would seem to suit your argument style.

I usually try to rise above picking on people rather than their 'arguments' but honstly, grow up.

I don't expect them to say One June 16th we will give you 5 new rites. I understand with development it's impossible to give exact dates. But it has been 5 months of nothing. They must have some clue when approx. we are going to get some new stuff. Something like:

In June our plans are to give you 6 new rites along with the long awaited outposts.

In July will bring in Kami and Karavan month! We plan to start the month off with a huge live event that will focus on the Kami and Karavan conflict. Expect to see new in game npc's like the Kami in the dev screenshot. We also plan on giving you 6 more rites as well as giving the first exclusive content for those who have finished an entire album.

In August we plan on introducing the leaders of each race in a live event, that will have you meeting some very important and interesting NPCS. Also we will be putting content in the game that explores the mysterious dragon.

In September we plan on having a live event where the heavens will open up and the seas will part. Content for that month will involve some ruins and some new storyline concepts that will change Atys forever.


Right now we have nothing.

They listen to you:

Maybe not per month, but close enough.

C'mon Jy, I'm not trying to be diplomat or something. I'm not trying to troll either. It is really what I think and I'll be very curious to know what exactly you consider immature in my post. Thank you in advance.

"How about some missions that actually explore parts of the storyline and pull us more into the mysteries of it?"

Those are the events, there are very few missions that could successfully convey the same amount of story progress in any meaningful way.

BS Let me give you an example of a mission that would do exactly as I am speaking of:

Zorai NPC to player with good Kami Fame:
We have recieved word from the void that the Master of the Goo tribe has angered the Kami. Please seek out the Kami representive in Maiden Grove to find out how we can calm the Kami once again. Player goes to the Kami.

Kami: Foolish goo loving homins in lost valley no respect Atys! They continue to let cancer of Atys grow. For this Kami very angry. If you wish to please Kami you must figure out homin secret for tending goo. To help you with this Kami grant you temporary magical power to hide love for Kami and show love for vile Karavan! Now go learn secret.

Player then uses magic to go join the master of the goo tribe. After doing a certain number of tasks, tribe leader tells you a riddle. The solution to the riddle will tell you how the tribe can be near goo and not get hurt. Tribe leader tells you that after you figure it out, to return and make the knowledge official. The riddle contains a combination of location and mat clues. After firguring out the riddle, collecting the items and returning to the camp the tribe leader gives you a new recipie for a consumable that makes you immune to the goo for a certain period of time. Leader also explains that the goo helps mental focus while using the potion.

You then go back to the Kami and report your findings. Kami reviews the recipie and gains understanding of goo. Then gives you a magical bomb and tells you it will void the effects of the consumable, causing severe illness and death to many of the tribe members.

"How about some NPC's that are keep players in the storyline asking players to do things?"

See above

Fame unlocks rites, you get game by doing missions. We've been told some of the extra TP locations will be unlocked by rites or similar.

You don't understand what I mean. Taking the example of the mission above. Player gets the ability to be immune to goo for periods of time. With some exploration they can discover a cave hideen in the goo. Inside that cave player finds an ancient book with a map. It's from well before any homin remembers and tells the story of a a spacecraft crashing deep into the core of Atys. Speaks of one of the survivors being chased into the wilderness and being captured by a native tribe. A tribe with long blue hair. The map is of the roots but 1/2 is missing.

This would lead into a mission set that has the player seeking out the gabbai tribe. Tribe would send them to find other half of map. Player gets all of map and unlocks an area in the roots that contains ruins of space craft. Player goes to investigate and learns secret of homin beginnings and of the green dragon.

"How about some missions based upon puzzles?"
See above.
