So, how many times have YOU clicked refresh on goblinworks.com / blog?

[Papaver]

Thanks Obama!

[Nihimon]

I think somebody needs to do something to get that last post out of the way...

[Nihimon]

I also needed to find a thread to express how incredibly slow it seems around here today. At least with this thread I'm fairly certain I won't be chided for taking it off-topic :)

[AvenaOats]

I think it's been a busy week at GW HQ?! ;)

I was wondering who was going to be the first to post something here this week :)

[George Velez]

I lost track, a blog today?

[Nightdrifter]

Last blog was 2 weeks ago and I think it's supposed to be one every 2 weeks now.

Thanks, Brodin Allduder!

<click> before I leave for my PF TT Kingmaker.

*Tapping wristwatch*

[Nihimon]

Yep... it's starting to look doubtful I'll get to read this week's blog before I head home.

[Nihimon]

A late blog still does not go amiss :)

[Nihimon]

*checks the date of the latest blog*

*checks tomorrow's date*

Yep, it's going to be a good day :)

[AvenaOats]

Think we're due an art blog. Maybe an update on what Milestone 4 might entail for a bonus too?

[Qallz]

Yea, there should be another blog poster besides Ryan so that we can get a blog every week. This bi-monthly s%!% is ridonkulous.

[Ryan Dancey]

Our ability to post blogs is more related to having useful things to write about, not who does the writing. I usually write the intros. Other people write the blog content.

[Urman]

I'm happy with every other week posts, if that means the mad goblin design squad is busy nailing meat to the game's skeleton.

[Lam]

With any large development task, properly engineered, one comes in with an architecture/ system design. This gets partitioned into smaller tasks and the most challenging ones are addressed up front (unless there is a belief that miracles will happen), but widely also, if maybe at a lesser rate. As development proceeds into more specific detail so concepts are seen as too difficult/impossible with current technology. Modifications are made, but these need to reflect back to V&V and testing.

At the same time many on this forum rail to change the design model. This may happen, but changing model and goals is asking for 'BUGS'. At the same time the "devs" will discover that somethings can not work the way envisioned (see previous PP) and the model is forced to shift (along with complicating the testing).

As things come closer to minimal deliverable, the features can be further described (published in blog), because they have been achieved. Announcements will happen faster and there may even be 'news'. Opportunities will be made for other EE enrollees (that will be where the griefers will enter). As much as some rail, I do not see any griefer among the forum (some reavers and plunders, but no griefers).

Yet the next blog will tomorrow. Why is anyone clicking today?

[Ashgan]

so uhh... when can we start clickin?

[George Velez]

Don't click. Just keep reading different threads here threw out the day until the new blog just shows up. Works for me. :)

[Being]

<click> Not yet, Ashgan

[Nihimon]

*clicks*

Yeah, don't click yet...

*clicks*

That would just be silly...

*clicks*

[Harad Navar]

*click* (as he breaks from making maps)

[Nihimon]

I've only got like 10 minutes before I'm out of here...

[George Velez]

Arise slumbering thread for your time is near and your followers are anxious for your proclamations of the future...

[Being]

<...with a rustle of adamant-like scales, each as large a warrior's shield, the great wurm's head rises from where it rested on that long sinuous neck, in girth as great as an aged oak, long and stong to raise that wickedly-fanged head...>

[AvenaOats]

*The bird of prey soared supremely on the thermals emitted from the great Wurm's wickedly-fanged mouth, far, far below, but then noticed "low battery" and was soon dropping like a stone with far less conviction all of a sudden.*

[Bluddwolf]

Maybe another 20 - 24 hours to go...... What does the trend tell us? Caravans? PvP Flag Revamp? Core Class Skill Trees? Or the variety of Key words specific for use with Green Hats?

[Being]

Emerald Spire?

[Wurner]

Will they finally let me join the Goblin Squad?

Oh man, don't get our hopes up that it'll be something awesome like that. Though I doubt there'll be a post on caravaning, Ryan already said Caravans are just big mules that move slower, so not much needed to be said about that really. Though I would LOVE to hear about the PvP flag revamp, or anything good about PvP. It's been far too long since, The Man In The Back Said Everyone Attack!

[Bluddwolf]

Hideouts and other POI structures?

What types will we see?
What functions will they have?
How do they support the bigger picture of PFO?
What are the requirements for building them?
How do you hold them?
What do you lose if you can't hold them?
What do you gain by raiding them?

They might open this up with a website and video of a more polished version 0.x with eg combat - in the New Year sometime? Could be what GW are up to?

Next blog? Milestone 4 might be interesting to hear about.

[Shane Gifford]

About 4 times so far.

Wurner, I wouldn't worry too hard. We got a lot of time in between now and EE and there isn't much of a benefit to being Goblin Squad before then.

[Harad Navar]

[Shane Gifford]

LIttle tidbit I should add, as I reread my thing and realized I made a mistake: those who didn't back the Kickstarter might not get the Goblin Squad title or benefits. However, you should be able to get into the Early Enrollment period and get some of the benefits from the Kickstarter. Time will only tell if/when, and how much will be available.

[Darklord Morius]

I supported the kickstarter fairily, alas, im not a goblin squad member. Wonder why.

Edit: Oh, there it is! Me proud!

[Imbicatus]

The goblin only appears on the Pathfinder Online boards.

[Darklord Morius]

Problem solved!

[Wurner]

I can join the Smurf Squad if they decide to call the band of late backers that. Just really curious about what selection of perks I will allowed to spend money on, and also eager to get in line for EE :D

[Ashgan]

here we are agian, waiting patiently and... oh who am I kiddin *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click*

[avari3]

Have we been so bad we are getting coal in our stockings?

[George Velez]

8:55pm ET, either we get a VERY late blog, or none at all. The suspense is killing all of us I think...

[Shane Gifford]

Must be up to at least 40 now...

[Bluddwolf]

It must really be a smurf tastic blog

[Lam]

If there is a mail to KickStarters (an update is sent through Kickstarter) when these are posted and a notice on the PathfinderOnline treads page, why are you clicking on the blog?

So we can come here and share the pain of waiting, with our fellows.
