Hi guys.

So I woke up this morning, and guessed this would the topic of conversation for today. I must be psychic.

Yes, relatively little content has gone into the last couple of updates. There are numerous reasons for this. As you guys know, I don't bother dancing around any issues with Diplomacy, but I also can't explain the nitty-gritty details of how we work.

Writs are still going in. The actual quests/parleys are more or less done. Events are still being worked on. Rewards are lagging behind for a variety of reasons. Likely you will be able to do Writs and gain facets for a week or two, then be able to build Diplomacy masks a week or two later, then Adventuring ones even later, a patch at a time.

We are beginning what I am calling our "Armor quests" for Diplomacy. For the hardcore elite of Diplomacy, these quests will offer you a fun storyline to play around in on each of Qalia and Thestra, while newer Diplomats will find the complete suits of quality tier 1 gear to be a valuable boon to development as a Diplomat. There is even something of a "set bonus" coming in for these special items that will allow you to build an uber set of Diplomacy tier 1 clothing.

After that big content upgrade, there will be another lull in content - I warn you now. Our after-hours work tweaking numbers will continue. In fact, in the next patch you will see a surprising upgrade to all held items.

Then there is the other annoying things - deconstruction not working, or the valise not holding clothing. These are things that require a number of people to work on, and several parts need completion before the whole can go into the game. Work progresses on this stuff.

It's not my nature to discuss the resource side of my job. I won't comment on how much resources Diplomacy has going for it, but I can continue to assert that we're doing our level best to keep growing the sphere. Your feedback on these forums is one of the valuable tools that allows us to make the right decisions on the time and effort we have to spend to make Vanguard great.
