Joppa put it best: "We want to try something new in the way we communicate to you all. And not just the quality/manner of communication, but the cadence and frequency. So to that end, starting October 23 at 6pm PDT we will have the first of our new, bi-weekly video Newsletters presented live on our Twitch channel (with some pre-recorded content added in as well). Content for our first NL stream: Racial innates, the Spriggan and Round 2 of Burning Questions"
Hope to see you there!
when you say Bi-weekly do you mean every two weeks or twice a week? Bi-weekly can mean both so its a little confusing. hehe
Can't wait to hear round 2 of burning questions, the tease about shaman pets has me pretty hyped. And we get to hear about racial passives thats going to be awesome.

Kellie is quicker than I with posting a definition. The issue here is it can mean either/or and tends to be ambiguous in nature, at least with how it's recieved I've found. It's why with official correspondence I go with 'Once every two weeks (while listing the specific day)' or 'Twice a week (then detail the specific days)' as I want to be as clear as possible and not to have any confusion. Timing and dates are things where you don't want to be ambiguous on, at least in my line of work.
With that out of the way, this is great news. I hope the audio quality and setup is worked on and polished before execution. Trial runs on the process can't hurt and by doing so and getting all the process issues through and the kinks out, you allow for a proper release that isn't muddied by criticism of everything but the content itself.
That brings us to the content. I've said numerous times before that Racial abilities or innates are important for the playerbase even if only in the concept stage. It's why I went ahead last year and devised my own rather completed version. This is because you want players to have a concrete concept of who they will play in the game. With no information on the details regarding races, people feel sort of detatched with the game world and don't have that complete image of the avatar from which they can experience the world with. As that final puzzle piece is laid out, players will be more emboldened and interested in the game as they are then more vested in the world being created around their character.
I look forward to the 23rd but again, I hope all the kinks are worked out prior to going live. Thanks again to Roenick, Kilsin, Ben and the rest of the team.
I'm sure if they meant twice a week Roenick would have said semi-weekly, since that is more commonly accepted expression of an event occuring twice within a given time period.
Hopefully this is also a sign that development is moving along swimmingly contrary to the naysayers.

Every two weeks :)
There was just a question in the German discord which interests me as well: Will the new video NL replace the written NL or is it just an addition?
Something written is much easier to translate, especially for people who don't speak English. On the other hand side, I'm looking forward to see Justin Gerhart reading from his tales...
