Elmer, I think S-E are on to you: these JP SE interviews are looking more and more like NA interviews. =/

Also, the more I read interviews about ToAU, the more I realize that entire expansion was a huge “what were they thinking?” moment. I mean, even later content, like Tier 4 (and 5 <_<) ZNMs (they are on islands so the drops cannot be RMT’d!), but also I remember reading a long time ago in an interview about a question complaining that ToAU mobs were too easy to exp on. S-E’s response? They honestly thought that all the ToAU mobs would be considered the most difficult in the game! And what, CoP mobs are chopped liver, then? /rofl

Rampart pops are out of the bag! I’m done with Salvage, but anyone still doing it should be extremely satisfied about that interview. Not only were the answers great, but the interviewer certainly knew exactly what to ask. Thanks for translating! P.S. I think the “Pattern” they refer to is the 8~ possible squares/rooms you can be in. 1 or more of those squares are probably duds :/

Typical developer interview, I’m suspicious that S-E hires ex-spies and trains them in computer programming–these fuckers love to keep secrets.

It’s funny though, the technology an process behind instancing seems to be entirely too complex to them–they either continually get it wrong or believe it will take years to implement.

thanks Elmer, that was an interesting one, and yeah it was dodgy as hell. the “under consideration” stuff was interesting though.
