Please continue to post feedback about the Avalons and other areas to gameplay to the Suggestions forum. More changes are in the works.

Yes! One more to keep the good pace! Thanks and grats, Inc!

gj! Thx for update!

Wonderful! Thanks Inc!

We have now had 258 releases in the 1.8 family. Is the 1.9 release still on target for Q1 2014?

The plan was for 1.8 to satisfy certain gameplay-fixing goals, like rebalancing the faction system, before it rolls to 1.9, which becomes more of a "next generation content" version. I am trying to gather some more momentum on fixing that stuff, I was writing notes on it last night.

I don't really care that much how many versions appear in between. But that is kind of funny.

next generation content, does that mean we're going to see dynamic lights, light filtering through roids and smarter AI. /me drools...

Gameplay content is the intended goal. We'll upgrade the 3D engine here and there when it makes sense for other work we're doing.

Thanks for keeping your priorities straight, Inc. :)
Games are about gameplay, not eye candy. The eye candy is nice, but it doesnt make things more fun.

Now if they just added my suggestion, things would be bestest ever!! http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/25458?page=2#313015

No, really though, good progress. Nice to see more than Android updates recently, and this is a second step in getting Avalons useful in the current game, cool.

+1 yoda :)
