When was the last time you saw someone in global asking people to come check out their cornerstone?
We've definitely added a lot of things to do since the early Alpha test days. The game exists in many forms. You can just work on your Cornerstone and build cool stuff. If you're someone who does have an awesome Cornerstone I'm the type of player who will come and check it out. You need to put in time to build intricate stuff as well.It's a matter of what we each want to get out of the game. We added a ton of things to do and some of them won't be for everyone. I, for one, am super good at PvP. Others like working on improving gear and increasing Power Rank.We see the feedback on these things and are looking at all of our systems. There is a patch every Tuesday because we want to keep iterating on things to find the best balance. There is definitely still work to do. It's a small team so we can't achieve every goal as quickly as we'd like but we're not going to stop trying.I asked a question about what progression means to the OP because I think it's important that we all answer that question for ourselves. He gave a fantastic answer and I'll be sharing that with the whole team.We get better by asking questions and listening to answers. There's more to do, for sure, and we'll keep working on those improvements. This is an important conversation to have and we're having it.
