With the changes to the map, are there any plans to make certain types of resources more abundant in certain areas (Thinking continent, not individual zones)? This would promote the movement of goods across the map.

Yes. read the state of the game: february linked in the post.

Thanks. Missed that bit.

Any chance we could get a bit more information on how this:

Introduce “naked” teleport as an alternative to fast travel in PvP zones

Is intended to work? (ie, what problems should it solve, what pitfals should it avoid and what's the current line of thinking around it?)

Looking at the current State of the Game and all Progress during prevouis Alpha/Beta Tests, its hard to believe that the Game will Launch at August this Year.

I'll believe it when i see it, i'm black and I've turned blue from holding my breath in the past.

remove fast travel at all! only allow at beginning to travel between the starter islands, so you can meet up with your friends who spawn somewhere else. Better allow us to chose where we want to spawn at the beginning of the game.

Hi all,

removed a post further up.

Please keep this thread troll free and don't feed them

Thanks,
Korn

Hi Jonathan,

we want to remove fast travel from PvP zones at it removes the risk and excitement from transportation.

On the other hand, we want to allow players to change locations without having to walk for ages - this is what "naked" teleport would enable, without distorting the market. Also, to an extent, people are already doing it anyways, via the /suicide command.

All the best,
Korn

This roadmap looks great to me. I've only been playing the game a few months but I've seen pretty good improvement in the game in that short time and can see its potential. The combat is already really fun and when you build out the game world, as you described, it will be that much more appealing. Good communication too-- keep it up guys!

The question I have about your roadmap is the cutline for release: What are the minimum objectives you're trying to achieve before launch?

Kudos on the updated development roadmap. We know change takes time and I personally love the quick fix on fame progression in yesterdays patch.

As I am admittedly one of the newbs to the game to start playing about a month ago, I was wondering if you could also provide some more concrete clarity on when a wipe will occur? I think that would inject some renewed vigor and give new players like myself a chance to experience how the game operates when everyone is at square one.

Any chance to give us some clarity @Korn @Bercilak?

All this will be put into February?

It would be great if those came in raids in given zone and players of the continent would receive a msg of the event. That would nicely stimulate pvp

Along with the new changes to the world, can we expect something along the lines of different territory sizes? For example, maybe the building plots(or "Normal Territories") would be bigger than the resource territory's and have 10 man GvG's to mix things up a bit since its your guild's home. Along with that I'd really like to see this territory changed a bit because in my mind, the building plot really is essentially your guild's home land and base of operations..but it doesn't feel like that. It feels like its just a place we go because our stuff is there confined in a magical square barrier. I really don't like this idea and I would much more prefer if you were to take a territory like that, it would be more of a structure like a castle perhaps. That was the first thing I thought when I discovered castles, why cant we have a territory based off of this for our home? Anyways that's just my 2 cents but I'd really like to know if there is some type of changes to expect in terms of territory's on the roadmap.

Can anyone else feel that Winter Alpha 2015 hype?

Game taking a good direction!

That would be awesome, wouldn't it?

Unfortunately no - we are looking at a longer timeframe here.

No territories in yellow or red means that only people who play the most can do gvgs (no gear soft cap)?

I notice the absence of remark regarding the zone bottlenecks and 4 singular entry / exit points and any plan to address this. This is a game breaking problem that surely you feel the need to address.

Ok, I like what I'm reading. Thanks for the roadmap post.

Only remark I'd do: It seems like A LOT OF WORK to be done, I'm hoping you guys can tackle it at a reasonable amount of time.

ps: eagerly waiting to see those new biomes and new world
