Don't get me wrong Grimm there were some REALLY awesome things in KR.... and then there was the Hiryu..... and the leathery dragon instead of my lovely scaled dragon... Some of that stuff though was awesome...
I think though one thing that was majorly wrong was that there is no "official" area for folk to get a UI and so many folk don't trust downloads... which made the KR thing pretty difficult for folk to really get into. I mean unless you have some really good computer knowledge yourself to make your own UI which lets face it a vast majority of players do NOT so the UI leaving so much to us isn't really something most of us were going to tackle.
I just wish they would get back to fixing the graphics. Much of it is still in dire need of being fixed. There are still tiles that can't be seen in the EC. When last I was at an event with the Giant Horde minions I was told that issue was fixed but I couldn't see them. I saw screenshots of them but I couldn't see them at all in the EC. There are dozens and dozens of clipping issues as well as those god awful burlap bags that pass as robes for Gargoyles on the gargoyle paperdoll still... I certainly wish something would get done about THAT! It's like here's the new Gargoyle isn't it awesome! WTF is it wearing????? That don't look ANYTHING like what you see in-game...
Oh no, I appreciate what you're saying. Getting in and fixing things is a simple matter of making time to do it, unfortunately, it's really hard to make the time when you've got the next batch of deliverables staring you down for the next publish when you haven't even finished the ones for the current one! I'm not trying to make excuses, it's definitely something that needs to happen, but getting the time is tough, really tough. You might recall me mentioning in... January or February that the art schedule was booked through September? That's literally the truth! I had scheduled for Exodus (as well as my last two gifts 2 UO, which you haven't see yet) back in Jan or Feb, and wasn't uncommon for me to be be overbooked by over 150% each publish, looking at the next publish or two down the road - each of which already booked solid and trying to fit more work in!
But who knows?
