I can't imagine that... a vague promise that entertainers get a revamp sometime in 2005? Isn't exactly news... So if that's what SOETyrant imagines we see as "pretty positive changes", then he's so completely out of touch with reality that they might as well completely scrap the whole thing and give up on it.

Plus there are the remarks by our Corrs, who definitely know about us, so my guess is there will be more

That really better not be it.


I mean....really???



A dev promise is as filling as rice cakes, except unlike dev promises, with rice cakes you actually get something....even though they taste like styrofoam.


His tone was somewhat patronising and there are no specifics. He states that the CU is progessing well and he offhandedly mentions ....even an entertainer update. I don't think there is any concept of schedule in his brain.


He may have just as well stated "Even the servers will continue to be used and upgraded" or "Even Sony will continue to pay my salary" because I feel that while its good to hear our name.....all he's saying is that we exist. The CURB will be an update for all combat classes and, with what I've seen in terms of the new weapons, the crafting classes. I sure hope that we'd get one eventually, but him puting it in a newsletter does not mean that we will get anything good or in a timely fashion.


This really IRKS me.

Scipionus, could you please confirm/deny that this was/was not the big annoucement?


Thatsdissappointing if it was. I mean we know how much a promised upgrade holds true around here. Go and ask the smugglers how that works.

I doubt this was the announcement. It looked like a bunch of Friday Features strung together and rephrased--this was probably just where they came across the statement about Entertainers getting a bit ofwork done on themand decided to rephrase it "Entertainer upgrade."


I'm guessing this is just a regurgitation of the announcement that something's coming.

Yeah, I got kind a feisty with the way it was all worded.


Mainly, how it was phrased - sort of like "We're going to be changing and upgrading and doing all these cool things for everyone - and even an Entertainer Upgrade!"


Like we're sort of last in the order of priorities, though I'd say we're the single greatest playstyle destroyed by AFK'ing. And it also sort of made us look like improving our professions is some silly little pet project for them.


But, really - it's TH. The man ALWAYS phrases things awkwardly and creates an issue where there wasn't one before, based on how he writes something.


I think his intent was to throw a little hope in for Entertainers, when really it did come across as an afterthought and easily misinterpreted as insulting. Again though, it's TH.


And I'm doubting this is the announcement. No way Correspondents have been working this hard on stuff for a little one-liner afterthought of a statement about an Entertainer Upgrade. If that is the announcement, and it took them that long to put out something approved, brother does SOE have some SERIOUS red tape issues to deal with before even considering working on any profession.

Warr,


I'm hoping...really I am.


Let me point out however that

1) We have not heard from anyone that this is not it.

2) The thread that quotes it is Panthu's and she has always been a "you're gonna love this" person and in it shes asking for best dreams of the "EU" ( I assume she means Entertainer Upgrade and not European Union, but maybe we should ask).

3) Yes TH can often be taken the wrong way as can all the devs, but to them this IS a big announcement for entertainers. To be mentioned at all is HUGE.



I'm just waiting for clarification as to if this was "IT"

We're trying to get more information on exactly what the announcement is/was supposed to be. The truth is, we don't know. We can guess, knowing what's going on behind the scenes. But we don't know when they will choose to release any or all of the details. However, we have been giving advice on how not to make announcements that will piss off entertainers unnecessarily, and they have listened, at least in other cases.
