This will be a big step towards console-based MMORPGs becoming more common.

It will but because of that apparently the PC version sucks

People are cancelling Pc pre-orders and waiting for the Ps3 version, I am too.

but not waiting for the ps3 version, the ps3 version is going to be even worse. Its in such rough shape right now they wont even start the beta on ps3. I tried playing with gamepad, and with keyboard and mouse... both ways sucked. This game is a big huge fail in its current state. Its like they are trying to make it work for both keyboard and mouse and gamepad, but fail at both.

Do you not see this happening during development? Like, why are we apologizing after the fact instead of stopping it during development?

Criticism and reflection occur after the fact. The apology acknowledges the past criticisms with the new expansion and they're keeping transparency with players about it. Now that they've acknowledged it - it will be interesting to see what kind of cycle we'll get with a new expansion and I wonder if they're planning something special with beast master since they didn't mention it in the last live letter.

It's all good, as long as the price of the product decreases.

Stopac1d 19h ago

The base game and expansion go on sale all the time and doesn't stay full price for very long since a new expansion is on the horizon.

If you're stating they should reduce the price of new expansions or the sub fee, no, that's not gonna happen lmao people aren't even complaining about that. They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy.

"They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy."

The product should be cheaper then.

I was unhappy with DT and have spent far less time in it than any other expansion but it's things like this that makes me respect Yoshi P. It's rare for such a high profile developer to be so candid in his assessment on a live game.

Stopac1d 19h ago

Same, i've found my self resubbing every two patches instead of keeping it up. Don't own a home in the game so there's no point in keeping a constant sub going. The post story is getting interesting though.
