And Tagad, you can't cater to a "I want every thing now" player mindset without disenchanting the world for those who want a truly immersive, large world. Adding these types of things shrinks the world, creating an entirely different gamescape than what VG set itself out as early (remember, back when the altars were "temporary", back when recall was "temporary", back when the early boat portals were "temporary" - yes I was around for a LONG time in beta and remember the continuous claims that those things were only temporary and would later be removed - yet they all remain and are about to be expanded upon).. Your revisionist histories in an attempt to spin these changes as something you had planned all along are exactly that - spin.




With all due respect sir, considering the fact that I'm a day one employee of Sigil, I know the score as to what we planned, talked about, or did not talk about. Your claims that I am spin doctoring are insulting.

Yes, the game has changed and evolved since day one. We have always said we are going to evaluate it and make changes that /we/ feel are required for the long term health of the game.

Were altars part of the day one vision? No they were not. The competetive landscape changed and we were forced to adapt.

Was teleportation talked about day one? Yes in fact it was talked about being limited.

The boat teleporters - the intent is to be temporary, but sadly due to debilitating bugs we cannot only have the boats running. As a dev its a choice between a completly non functional system, or one that functions non optimally. As we continue to evaluate teleportation this will continue to be evaluated. (As a side note, the last meeting regarding this I was in clearly stated no cross continental teleportation system).

Your fear that we will attempt to "only appeal to the I want everything now player" is somewhat unfounded. Do I want something for that type of player to do in Vanguard? Absolutly. I think we would be fools to ignore them. Do I also want something to do for those players that want to grind for hundreds upon hundreds of hours? Yes, I want to do that content myself.
