Well dead, FSS PROMISED content every few months, all we got is Stonehenge in almost a year. It's not like they did what they said :X and about personal relationship?? All they did in the forums the whole time was ban and delete threads, that's not what I'd like to see as a personal relation :X
It'll end up being the same I think, FSS promised content, but never delivered it. At least with Namco-Bandai when they promise something, you know you'll be getting it completely bug-free and balanced.

they promised content every quarter

1.0 (SH) was in first quarter jan-april
2.0 (abyss) was scheduled 2nd quarter May-July which ofc never fleshed out but was well on its way to being there

they listened to the player base best they could and added things or took away things we wanted. You cant make everyone happy when dealing with 50000 forum trolls and having to pick out the handful of meaningful posts with content

but, w/e it turns out to be it wont be the game vision promised by FS

they will most likely just pay out the debt of FSS, FSS could still be manning the game.

Good point :X It's understandable tho, that The Abyss Chronicles 2.0 were taking so long, the patch notes are kilometric lol...Well, like you said tho, hopefully they will let FSS still handle it

IMO 2.0 is what should have come out at release as far as stability, then an update with stonehenge, then abyss.

It's like deadhXc said once: 2.0 is what we thought we were buying at the release
