    Many weeks ago, I saw on PCF (can't find the quote now) that you said that you had the new Mission Guidlines, but were delaying releasing the info, because MA keep changing their minds and forcing you to redesign the missions repeatedly.

    It is now less than four weeks until the deadline, and people still don't know which missions they need to complete before the deadline, if they want the same rewards. This is a ridiculous situation


    Will you please, please, for pity's sake, reconsider releasing this info ASAP? Uncertain info which might be changed again is a whole lot better than no info at all, under the cuircumstances. You can always add a disclaimer ;)

    Thanks,

    jay :)

    Tbh I think A team is doing everything in their power. Looking at this last scenario when MA acctualy changed their mind within MINUTES of the realesa o brokers, I dont c how we can blame Ateam for this in any way for beeing carefull on this one.

    Without full out Saying it David has pretty much made it clear that MA will not let them say what changes will be made until after it is over.

    David did however also say to look at the nusul and riptor missions as a guide. That being said in my opionion i would do all the 400 kill missions to get the attribute point and thats it. When you compare nusul mission to current IFN missions you'll notice the big downer is at the 400 kill where you get the attribute, but you get it later on the level 4 or 5 mission. so i think everyone is best off to just complete the 400 kills on as much as they can. Personally i've done Madana first, working on Oweko and Otorugi (probably will only get those 2 done before update cause my life sucks...) but the Kinana and Kadra and beldaloth or next on my list if i can even get there.

    I really want that strength from the Otorogi and the Physce to help out my MF skills and Agility is always good too.

    But at this rate by the time the details are released it will be too late to be useful. You would think that any changes at this stage would be fine tuning.

    I have a lot of respect for ark devs but this is a piss poor effort on the part of MA and the various PPs.

    i'm telling you guys just do the 400 kill stages on as much as you can that will be your only regrets i think. I did otorgoia and oweko and now i'm broke so wont be hunting much for a while now.

    Afternoon bump.

    The Singapore Grand Prix weekend is over, so there is no excuse for not being in the office now!

    Please let us know anything you can which will help us make an informed decision on how we should spend the last 2 weeks before the changes. :)

    Guys, when they have solid information to give, they will give it. Are you honestly wanting a post to be made saying "Sorry, we can't give you any information at this time due to XYZ"?

    You know full well that they will post information when they have it like they always have.

    The fact that MA only posted the revised requirements for Calypso recently tells me things were taking longer than usual for some reason, so it makes sense that the A-Team would be holding back till they have it 100% the way they want it too. And don't ask for an ETA because we all know how well ETAs get received when things inadvertently run over....

    Just my 2pec in any case

    Just about too late to be useful anyway.

    Yep probably, but the fact that they haven't released anything tells me that they are not happy with whatever they had and as we all know they have a reputation for not releasing stuff half done. Can you imagine the blowback they would get if they released information and then had to change it again only a short time later? Look at the handful of times its happened so far for varying reasons beyond their control. Each time they are met with bitching and whining so I can completely understand them not wanting to go down that path once again. I'd even go as far as to say I'm beginning to sympathise with MA and Calypso to a degree (yes I realise how horrid that must sound to some). *Shivers*

    Dave and the Team will post when they are ready for stuff to go public. That it may be too late is just bad luck unfortunately and I do sympathise with the people that wanted the information (I'm one myself) but the reality of it is that releasing bad info or half done stuff is contrary to the reputation the A-Team has striven to develop so I can understand where they are coming from.
