You do realize that will kill load times on heavily utilized docks like MT, don't you?

im amazed it took 2 people to compile that survey...

btw question: why do you feel new players are going to understand anything relevant to balance?

and what is going to be different about how you review player feedback? its essentially been ignored for the vast majority of 3 years......collecting feedback is great, but totally pointless if the collected data is ignored

I'm still here, but I'm working on another project at the moment. We move around a lot in the company to fill spots where we're needed. Nutty, Deqlor, and I work together on things for PotBS all the time.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I'm pretty sure (read: 99.999%) that I didn't say that (read: I didn't). We're very happy with the move to F2P, and tons of players are too!

general consensus is more along the lines of the game has gone downhill since prepnp, but because its free people don't expect as much. thats at least for the 30-40 ppl i speak to on a daily basis who have stopped playing the game over the last few months

who wants to take responsibility for the macedon?

Great updates, glad to see the society improvements!

Well, I'm certainly Amazed with this Dev Log, not the Expansion Info, however I am Astonished that Lum is Still Part of POTBS. Please allow me to get my Long list of what is wrong with your Dam Game so I can blame someone.

Aside from that, please for the sake of my Mental Insanity, State that your going the Adjust the Freetrader and Buccaneer in this Next Patch.

In another Hope... could you implement more Turbans?

Nuju-

This is the best devlog ever to be written in a true producer style, something that I had never expected, just shows how wrong we can be.
Despite being over three years from release its very encouraging to see the on-going commitment & support FLS are giving to Potbs to realize it's true potential.

"Mr. Nutty is going over information gathered directly from the game to identify the problem areas that affect every player. The goal is to gather the most complete and accurate picture of the game so that any tuning changes are more than just a band-aid and actually improve the game as a whole. Look for more from him in the future."

The above gives me great comfort to see, let's hope it won't drive us all Nutty the results will be most interesting.

Society wallets should lead to more economic warfare, a good game sink that might later be expanded into National Banks.

"we plan to keep growing several other aspects of the game"

"As always, it’s tough juggling the balance between new features, new content, tuning, and bug fixes. 2.3 and 2.4 aren’t the most content- or feature-heavy milestones we’ve had but, with them, we’re picking up steam on some new features (including a some I’ll elaborate on next milestone). "

This sounds so mysterious that I want to know more.

[Dius Talon]

Great update, really really fantastic. . . Less said about FLS uber U-turn on soc warehouses the better I guess, might even get your post deleted 3-4 times & or an infraction for trolling.

Still, it's only taken 3 years to actually get this through the door & thank the lord its finally gonna get implemented.
Im sure I speak for everyone, left in the game, when I say:
'Thanks, Thanks a lot for listening. . .'

/Salute, FLS for your quick response from community requests. . .

D,

Already knew this, but I doubted most did so.

The specific reason I posted that was becuase I knew you were very against Society Warehouses without drastic changes to the economy.
