For a certain dedicated group of the playerbase it will, lol. Smiley: rolleyes

As for the screenshots, it's wonderful that they brought moonphase back, and also that day/night looks nice. Now, if the sky isn't just copy-pasted star clusters, I'll be really excited! It's this kind of detail that makes the game world seem more alive, and I hope they don't stop here, but build on this momentum to truly impress everyone.

Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the Nuke button.

Try to emulate this face as you say it. Or type it. We won't see it, but you'll know.

I would love to see moving clouds. That's probably asking too much, but in those stills you can see clouds and I think that would be awesome.

I should see if they can rename the Nuke button to "My Boomstick"

You don't get it. He's trying to deceive us into believing the direction for HQ ingots is NNE, when every dedicated crafter by now knows this only raises luck with logs.

LOL! Given Yoshi's sense of humor there may very well be a series of crafting quests for each job that require you face a certain direction during the moon phase.

I also hope it affects fishing results Smiley: nod



I will second that sentiment! It's little nuances like that which make the game constantly fresh and exciting! I love the rumors, etc etc... It always leaves a sense of wonder and excitement in the game.

On the website, in the original blog post, the word "That" is bold. I think the real question is not if facing a precious direction, at a specific time, on a specific moon phase, with a specific weather condition, that occurs once a RL year, that lasts for a very limited time, will yield a HQ +99 item but instead, why did he make that statement and bold the "That?"

As if he is saying that in fact facing a precious direction, at a specific time, on a specific moon phase, with a specific weather condition, that occurs once a RL year, that lasts for a very limited time, will yield a HQ +99 item.
