Random development
Mike Crosser:
Nice_Boat isn't Lexx just asking you what you want to be included in the updates?
And Lexx,NB is just pointing out that the latest updates weren't too focused on specific aspects of the game.That's why he said that the updates were "SO RANDUM xD".

I think it was focused on making game more playable and less bug-ridden.
Mike Crosser:
What I meant was that the updates all tried to balance PvP,RP,PVE,etc. without focusing too much on each.
The bug fixes served their purpose I was talking about feature implementation.

Oh, and yeah, I'm the talker. Where's your Cathedral Lexx? Because mine is sitting there on 2155 closed beta, waiting to be populated by the NPCs I write.

BTW when is 2155 going back online? that shit was not advertised, I was waiting, twiddling my thumbs waiting for the damn server to go live, and next thing I hear on the forum is that its offline because no one joined. So give it another shot ^^

But he shouldn't be asking me, you or anyone else. It should be in the friggin' design docs. It's like starting to build a house without an architect drawing a plan - it's random people placing random bricks all over the place. Obviously as a result the construction is going to look extremely silly and collapse sooner rather than later. And it's not only the issue of respawn timer, how many times have BG been buffed and nerfed? How about SG? Why are there updates that introduce features that are later removed? Why do balance changes cancel each other out? Why every season there's basically a different economy instead of a constant effort to make one model work? Why are perks and armors completely overhauled after 2 years of balancing the old mechanics? It's so effin' amateurish it hurts, and then suddenly a Lexx appears and starts spouting bullshit how he's the only honest, hard working human being in the entire universe and perhaps beyond and how any projects he has taken part in are beyond the criticism of dirty peasants who haven't got such herculean achievements under their belt. And when I point out that I've started a project that had the same goal as one of his failures and actually pulled it off so perhaps he should get off his high horse, suddenly I'm not playing fair and what I say is low. Seriously, what a joke.
And no, extremely broad statements like "to make the game more playable" are not valid development goals. The extremely sad thing is that every single 2238 dev has put in a tremendous amount of work, but it's basically wasted due to arrogance and make-do mentality. This project could be salvaged and polished in a matter of months, but that is not going to happen because the devs don't even know what they want. Nobody's going to answer that for them. Hell, a year ago you could read how they want to make this game work as a shooter, a roleplaying game and a survival game. With alts. The only way such a statement could become more hilarious would be if they added that 2238 would also be capable of giving blowjobs, handing out free vodka and playing guitar.

It's being worked on, but the only answer I can offer is that the release date is "it's done when it's done," sorry.
