    Time flies. Thanks for the update. As always, getting itchy for a Twitch stream announcement, especially since Brad said it wouldn't be another 6 months for the next one and we are already past 4 months haha. But hopefully that good explanation of the lore will clear things up for some people.

    Yeah I have to admit, I was really expecting an announcement for the next twitch stream on this newsletter, and for the same reason you mentioned. Oh well, back to my cave until I can get my fix!

    Probably because it's only been a couple weeks since the last one. I know what you mean, but sometimes there's just nothing new to report. But that doesn't mean progress isn't being made.

    Exactly, you cannot expect a ground-breaking newsletter every month, im just glad we get one to be honest. It just reminds me "OH YEAH THIS GAME IS BEING MADE!!" (Hype Hype Hype!) lmao

    Yeah, and I always forget that this is meant to be mostly a recap and not actual news.  Still hard not to be disappointed.  Information please.  =(

    You're a stud Istuulamae ! Thanks for your remarks in the newsletter. I think most people ( I know I am one of them) are bummed about no stream date or info.

    I wish more was explained about VR's production process behind the scenes. Within the past few days, Kilsin pointed out they are putting "finishing touches" on a couple zones for the stream to be ready (similar to what was said 2-3 weeks ago). It doesn't make it any easier to sit and be patient when it takes this long for finishing touches. Meanwhile, more writers/web developers are being hired?

    The lore for Pantheon is really shaping up and becoming quite interesting. Still hyped to get that next stream date though. Thanks for all your hard work Istuulamae!

    Haha i am sure my long winded Feb ramblings took a lot of editing and squeezing in comparison to NickHoTs concise responses lol, probably delayed everything... Jokes! :p

     

    Re: the newsletter... Enjoyed the read, getting more and more intrigued in the lore like i have never before in a mmo.. which is very unusual for me

    Also like others.. Looking forward to the pre 6 month stream! ;)

    You were literally my fantasy of who they'd interview this month.

    LORE!!!!!

    I'm a fangirl. <3

     

    I loved this newsletter, because it directly addressed something that many in the community were clamouring about: the lack of Paladin and Cleric races. That's been the biggest issue I've seen with the race/class combinations that were released, and they listened to the community and took steps to talk about this recent, big concern. Maybe we don't have a ton of content in this newsletter, but they've hired on four new people in the last four weeks. People always say "Put your money where your mouth is", and they did. What stronger proof of great progress can you ask for?

    Temmi: That's been the biggest issue I've seen with the race/class combinations that were released, and they listened to the community and took steps to talk about this recent, big concern.

    It makes sense from a lore point of view, and they have hinted that elves may become more dedicated to the gods through the course of the game. I just hope that this isnt the beginning of the slide to make all races able to do all classes and join the ranks of every other mmo. Diversity is key. Dont make everything play the same so there is no real point in choosing one race over another. :-)

    I have now read your news letter, thanks... when's the next one ;-)

    Thanks Justin, lore is life.  Your interview was quite enjoyable.  I eagerly anticipate learning more about the Archai and other races in game.

    Nick: appreciate you being the Data to Istuulamae's Lore.

    Lol not at all what I meant. You were the best part. I think it was important to remind people how much thought actually goes into the Lore and the justification for decisions you have made, rather than just caring about what stuff is common in other games.

    The only thing that would have made your interview better was if you had somehow slipped in a subliminal message about when the next Twitch stream will be ;)
