OK, I’ll admit this…

First video from AGS that I did not get annoyed or rage at the screen. Actually came away from watching with the feeling that they are starting to “get it”.

Too little too late for me. Admitting they’ve been slacking in term of balance patch since the last year and a half doesn’t make it right., it only makes US right for saying they’ve been slacking since day 1.

I think the word they used was “afraid” they might break something. That is more scary than slacking. Guess they are not afraid any more.

I still really, really hope that they fast-track Influence 2.0

This is a make-or-break kinda thing for a lot of people.

I think it is good that they have gotten over their fear of “breaking” something.I believe they have learned over the past 1.5 years that despite their best efforts, to date, they have broken something almost every single patch. That is just the nature of having so many different interconnected things in NW. :person_shrugging:

As a gaming studio releasing an MMO-RPG, AGS is relatively inexperienced when compared to other, larger, gaming studios and the years/decades of experience those teams have with their respective products. In time, most likely, AGS will achieve a similar quality and polish with NW and perhaps whatever other, future, projects they are working on. :palms_up_together:

No I’m serious. I just got a sense from this video that maybe they were starting to get real. That’s not to say I agree with a lot of what they do or the approach they take often times. I’m not turning White Knight of the AGS Round Table. lol

“Relatively Inexperienced” is being kind, lol. I’ve seen some of the Dev’s resume’s on Linkdin and I have yet to see one with actual mmorpg experience.

Yes, I was trying to be kind. I think everyone has to start somewhere, and my hope is that, someday, AGS will become one of the great game studios. They already have fantastic art teams that designed the world of Aeternum and their sound teams are top notch as well!

100% agree with this. The Art people are the S Tier of AGS! :slight_smile: Sound is also very good.
