A response to the Game Director's Message
Holidays in MMOs are meant to be a breather in content drip for the devs. Minimum changes so normal development can continue.
RIP City of Heroes
Holiday events are also to allow the devs and the rest of the people in the office time to take time off to be with THEIR families during the holidays too which why they don’t change much in any MMO that I have played over the last 20 some add years.
Maybe if they didn’t take this approach they’d have more time for the old stuff..
“We now develop new content and features with a default assumption that they won’t ship, and then if they turn out great, we proactively decide to ship them.”
Sounds like they probably waste an incredible amount of time developing hit or miss stuff, instead of going for the hit stuff. Not much time to spruce up old stuff unless it’s on the side.
