Current State of Game / Roadmap

Now that things seem to be settling down with the unity engine (at least they are for me, so I assume a lot of bugs have been addressed for everyone) has there been any update from Devs about what's next?

How close are they to getting the game the way they wanted it on unity so they can start implementing all these improvements they've hinted at for months now?

Everything since unity has been consumed with firefighting and fixing bugs but where are we up to now with the overall state of the game and the roadmap?

    Yeah, there's no end to these bugs. They may have figured it out for you but every update I see things getting better for some and worse for others, we're all just trading bad versions at this point. Their current plan probably doesn't extend beyond putting out what fires they can, releasing characters along their approved (and already paid for on their end) schedule and hoping to survive the year. I could see us getting something actually new next year if they actually survive this one, but I'm not counting on it.

    If we don't have new content by Anniversary you have to figure that possibly the Devs purchased their version of the Unity game engine from some eBay seller in Malaysia and have been trying to run it ever since not realizing so far that their version isn't legit. If they had got a manual with it they might have noticed the notes on it saying "Ubity Engine run very well much fast".

    Earlier this year, the devs probably had a nice beautiful roadmap all worked out. I bet it was tacked up and admired by all every day as they went by.

    Wow, we are so on top of things, they thought.

    Around July, Unity Bully walked up to the map, took it down, tore it up into 10 pieces. It randomly pulled one out and handed it to the game's director and ate the rest of it.

    Figured out? I cannot think of a single feature that actually works better. Well they stopped previewing in the game, other than that can you think of anything?

    Everything is slower and hotter but not in a good way.

    CnTRL All
    CnTRL Copy
    CnTRL Paste,Did not work well in this instance.

    Sadly the game is now a crinkly bottom and there's no going back.

    Isn't the community manager out on paternity leave? I wouldn't expect anything till he gets back.

    I think we're hoping to catch Ice or someone that isn't just "managing" the community, it takes all of an hour to tell us something worthwhile and we can't pretend that they're spending that time on "super cool new character art" or actual bug-fixes at this point.

    They could be busy on Paste Pot Pete's art...

    I wouldn't hold your breath for a forum update. They're probably posting stuff on Discord, or on their Myspace, or via smoke signals or something.

    Maybe it's on SmokeSpace because I've got inroads literally everywhere else.

    Idk about MySpace but there’s no word on Discord about anything.

    Well, last week Ice said we would get a post about Sunspot after they finalized some numbers but obviously that never happened.

    In any case it’s been over 2 months since the Ice Q&A.

    Before Unity there were monthly Q&As. Yeah. They were kinda lame because so many answers were “wait for the new engine” but now we get almost nothing other than patch notes.

    Well that's weird. Anyway I didn't say it was good (it obviously is not), I just doubt we're going to get anything at all until that guy comes back from leave.

    We still haven't even got heroic mode in bosses yet, so until then I don't expect anything.

    This has got to be a joke. Things are getting worse, not better. Was gonna play a couple matches in stock broker pvp and had a match freeze. LOST 400 POINTS. Still waiting for a pop up saying I got hit, but it's been over 30 minutes now.

    If one thing, one single thing got fixed and didn't break three new things I'd have hope. This is pathetic.

    Am I a joke to you?
    There is a quick update there's some america chavez guff they've put up. Hasn't got a story i think the work experience came up with it and no one else is doing anything so they moved it to live.
    I'm sure they'll come by and tell you they've been working on something or other.
    More retro costumes, people love them

    We're most likely not gonna get anything at all until that guy comes back. I'm not happy about it, but what am I gonna do? Nothing.

    What are you all going to do about it? You can't spend less than $0. Post more complaints on the forum they don't read? Seems like there's really only one way to make your voice heard...

    On the note of new engine, can we get a 'skip all cut scenes' checkbox in settings, similar to sound and animation? Skipping those PVE scenes for the nth time is getting really stale...

    I could make a poll to help us decide?
