| I think this move just about does it for me.
More people laid off, a clear indicator of SOE's lack of commitment to Vanguard and its development. The game will be going the way of MxO, being kept on life support but not having any real development.
It was especially upsetting to see Aruspex go. This screams no more diplomacy development past what currently exists.
Finally, while a number of changes in the works for GU3 are very positive, they are nerfing stealth to the point of crippling rogues, even though we will get more DPS. My main is a rogue, my alt is a disciple. My patience is spent.
Lore and quest content are still sorely lacking.
No offense to Thom, but given his previous credentials of being a creator of Planetside, and head of customer service there for a period of time, his assignment to Vanguard does not scream "heavy development incoming".
Congratulations, SOE. You've driven me back to EQ2, which I am honestly enjoying, and look forward to POTBS. |
