The Queue: Another Monday morning

Welcome back to The Queue! As is typical of Mondays, we’re a bit short on questions — Sundays are slow. We’ll do our best, though.

Current ETA is the first week of March. It’s in progress. Promise.

I think the game just needs more solo and small group content with clear, defined goals. Ideally, content with rewards that aren’t eclipsed by easier, faster methods. For example, how dungeon loot right now is almost completely worthless — getting useful items is a huge part of what makes content “meaningful” in an RPG. That new content needs to take you outside of your garrison, too. In my opinion, it’s no more complicated than that. I’m not going to say developing the content is a simple process, but it’s a simple solution: give us more stuff to do that has a defined goal and meaning. Unfortunately, patch 6.1 just provides more methods of repeating current content. At your expense.

Yep! Phone versions of the game are in development. There’s been a delay on it because the UI needs to be redesigned for the much smaller screen real estate. It’s possible we’ll see an announcement at PAX East, but that’s just speculation on my part.

Graveyards are pretty sad. Why not a graveyard?

Better than nothing, right?

I have no idea why the comments are breaking on The Queue. As far as I can tell, it’s only happening on The Queue. We’re still investigating. As an experiment, I’ve disabled image embedding (I think) for the day to see if that has an effect. There are only two things that make the comments on The Queue different than any other article: volume and the sheer amount of weird pictures and videos y’all embed down there.

If anyone is experiencing the comment box on The Queue simply not appearing, it would be helpful if you emailed us what browser you’re using or any other information you feel is relevant.

That’s all for today, folks!
