Monthly Development Update - November 2014 (Gobble gobble)

[JustinSane4]

Great work - thanks!

[DigitalBath]

Amazing work. It's definitely the hugest string of good news I've had in years on AO. Michizure's turning the ship around!

That said, and I realize this may be a more specific issue that may have to wait until 18.7, is there any chance to un-nerf the new "DM" (Garuk's") or find some other way around making the profession useful? NT's suffered a huge PvM single-target damage decrease and the few that played them as mains are suffering from an irate and unfair revenge patch. PvP-wise the increase shouldn't matter too much as hopefully we'll never go back to direct % based checks that can be exploited with malicious intent in PvM.

Cheers!

This! Soo much this... This new DM is just plain ol' silly.


And also very nice to see so much good stuff being added, while even more importantly, youre actually listening and god forbid replying to the playerbase. Amazing mich! :-) keep up the good work.

this sounds so much better than everything else so far! small but sweet changes! reading your post made me get excited the subway, the new weapons and the new medusae/notum ace mob

[PigBrother]

Very nice work ! Keep it up !
I personally feel the thrill again and is more intense than ever.
Btw - the new inf mish is awesome ! Chilling and rewarding - excellent job in my opinion !

And I see more and more people playing the game, you can really feel that.

P.S. I can hardly wait to get into new subway and to farm some of those super medusas ...

- 000 Weapons
A few years ago, a selection of weapons introduced at the game's launch were remade with more contemporary attributes, while being hidden behind high requirements and elusive upgrade items. The requirements of these weapons have been lowered with damage ranges adjusted. Andre Bottle has also been given a few new items to sell.

This is fantastic news. I need to look into what the actual stats are.

[Peltiperse]

Very nice news. I still would like to hear about the engine. Is it even going ahead anymore?

[orochi3]

Does mich work at the american department of FC?

[sannz]

Love the ideas & changes

[User1337]

Dang it!!!! I'm starting to loose faith in my lack of faith on AO's developers. Just a tiny bit...

If this crap continues I might even roll a new toon.

I really would love to see the 000000000 weapons turned into something useful. That, imps and carb armor up to ql 200 in shops (for a decent price) will do more for AO's failing population then anything else combined.
If we could also have RK and SL missions with useful loot starting at lower levels...

I'm with Gimpy on this one.

Forget about the QL125 limits on shops. It's silly and inadequate. Time to improve on that.

And PLEASE Michi, keep working on Rubi-Ka instead of SL and ****e. It's been a long time since new zones and playfields have been added, perhaps you should find a way to make the storyline shift and have some "out of place" mobs spawn in a world far away from their own. Think 'bout it.

[Dogberry]

And PLEASE Michi, keep working on Rubi-Ka

Would also be nice to see some new RK mobs in missions

[EmperorOfMAnkind]

funny how those pvp emos think that game circulates only around those crappy designed towers

[Le-Quack]

Michizure do put allot of effort into this. i realy hope we get back the old players when balance for professions comes.
look forward to see some justice for keepers

[Peltiperse]

Removing multiboxing would make me come back asap

[Bluecheeze2]

Amazing work and effort guys Please keep it up!
Love the new missions, website, game tweaks, and dev communication.

Even the delivery of this message was on point!

Much love for you all! Thank you for listening

... Now about those old school PvP titles ...

Does not but game would be so much more active if pvp'rs would come back.

[DigitalBath]

Not that many people left over multiboxing. It's an overhyped (by some) number that fortunately FC can afford to ignore since inclusive solutions are always better than exclusive ones, especially in a low population environment.

Let's focus on causes instead of consequences. (i might macro this sentence someday).

[Freor]

25% of population already leaving is quite much imho.
