Given how most of the forum can discuss things ad nauseum and yet rarely ever agree on a common theme or direction, I can imagine it is somewhat similar inside the studio as well.. being as the common denominator here is human beings, each with particular special interests or ideas.



That said... I know some people are giddy to get a gold response here... but if you read it, it's a non-answer answer to the question presented. A lot of Koolaid being passed around right now (almost all of it "hope" flavored). Personally, I'll wait for actual details and an actual roadmap (which frankly, probably won't really even be a credible roadmap... because when have they ever actually followed one, much less given them in any regular periodic pace or format?). I hope we do get an actual roadmap and they actually follow it... but it would pretty much be the first time.



Real roadmaps are high level presentations of: where you are, where you are going, and what waypoints and pathways will get you from where you are to where you want to be. I've yet to see such a thing from the studio. They have in the past, sometimes, presented a bullet list of things they plan to do.. but always absent any actual portrayal (at least that players will embrace and believe) of the destination . ^^ Players should read this carefully, as it pretty well exemplifies their process for making changes, and WHY they do not disclose until they are through the review&agree process.Given how most of the forum can discuss things ad nauseum and yet rarely ever agree on a common theme or direction, I can imagine it is somewhat similar inside the studio as well.. being as the common denominator here is human beings, each with particular special interests or ideas.That said...
