While I can understand and sympathize with why you feel that way and why others agree with you, from my perspective I wanted to get those two projects finished because (1) updating shrines/god system was something we've been wanting to have done for over a year and the gods weren't happy with how things were (we want our gods happy, right?), and (2) I felt the aetherspace project was incomplete without the specializations and left a metaphorical "hole" in the system. Knowing that the envoys/balance project may take months to finish and that these other projects were already started anyway, I wanted to finish these loose ends first. Of course, we miscalculated how long it would take to wrap up these projects.

Anyway, the decision was mine and this is my mea culpa for the envoys being so tardy. We aren't going to change direction now and drop everything for envoys. Again, I understand why you are upset, but I hope you will at least try to understand my perspective. (And in the future I hope you'll understand if we don't give out any more timelines!)


Ahh, I was under the impression that you'd all been working on the Rapture update and hadn't actually started the shrine powers/aethercraft specs yet.

I believe that the shrines/aethercraft stuff was already being worked on, when this new version of rapture came out, which turned into a 'have to do this' project.

Obviously things that they have been working on for months + a major coding update come before envoys, which were only finally decided on in the summit, which only happened 3 weeks ago.

For any who are surprised by this, we were already told what to expect.

Meeting start.

- Estarra noted that coding was around 3 weeks behind schedule, so
delays should be expected in envoy updates. A second summit may
be arranged after coding tasks had caught up. Two tasks that were
of priority at the moment are aethercraft specializations and
a revamp of the shrine system.

Despite everything, we love you all for working so hard, and so on. Delays are alright, as long as you keep working.

Hey, why don't you sneak into Achaea and steal one of their coders? It's not like they're using any.
