About those dev diaries sapience

[robnkarla]

Now we're talkin'!

Want to buy a vowel?

Hmm, I'll buy an i (And luckily you've never done the whole dev diary with _._._/_._._......)

[Angmar]

Now we're talkin'!

Want to buy a vowel?

I'd like to but an e please Sapience.

[Beleg]

I'm taking a wild guess one is Lore-master, purely based on this:

And I'm hoping the other is Burglar, but I'm not holding my breath.

Beleg, Lore-master was updated recently. And who knows, holding your breath sometimes pays off!

_i____e_

Two vowels for you.

They just revisited the Lore-master and Rune-keeper classes with the November update. The next update is too soon for any further mass changes.

Edit: Doh! Sapience beat me to it. Oh well...

[ilikeham49]

(better then guessing a vowel can I guess the name? if so see below)
I guess that the first class is the minstrel. (your _I____E_ gave it away, minstrel is the only class that can possibly have those two letters in that combination)

second class now, please let one of the letters be an A

Minstrel!

Oh, wait...

Hmm...

What is Minstrel?

[Lysel]

Thank you

So, I guess Wardens will be last again. Man, I shoulda never rolled one. Why did I have to fall in love with the class that never gets any love?

[Sardonyx]

I dunno, Wardens are pretty buff as it is - remember that having a class looked at does not mean positive changes only.

What love does the class need? All wardens would like some sort of update... but when you try to actually lay out the changes you find its very difficult to buff, nerf, or even add anything to the class that's both needed and wouldn't completely break the class.

Also, how many Turbine Points does each letter cost? I am interested in purchasing some letters.

[ilikeham49]

I just had this thought, If you LOOK at his post, that is a dev diary on a class. Now yes that really does mean a class diary, But here is my thought and thought process.

1. But he also mentions that there are 5 dev diaries so far.
2. We know that two classes will be updated, sapience never said that these two coming tomorrow and Thursday were the only class ones to be posted.
3. He also never clarified if these dev dairies were for the next update or for the expansion.
4. We also know that there is an expansion coming as well.
5. What if _I___E_ isn't the minstrel
6. If point 5 was correct then what is it?

so the thought is, (which also was inspired by Macfeast saying "what is minstrel" even if he was joking.) is: what if it is a new class that sapience is saying? or about to tell us, he did this game with the new volume name, why not with the new class? Now this thought could be wrong if sapience posts the answer that it is the minstrel while I was typing this, but if he says nope, think for a moment then. I might be right. right?

[Macfeast]

I'm guessing the next class is the __a__i_n?

[ilikeham49]

Macfeast you might be right, but I think the next one is:

__r__a_

[Regero]

I agree with that.

Seems like the Mini, Burg, and maybe hunter/champ are the classes that have gone longest without a significant update.

[ilikeham49]

I just noticed this.

__i___e__ so we know so far that this is the truth.

we want it to be minstrel.

but then there is a certain other name that is well known here.

sapience
look at his name, what do you see? there is an I and a E (hey that rhymed, anyways..)

sapIencE

though there is a few spaces that are different then what he has, he could put a tm after the name so that his name would be interpreted as: sapience(tm)

also yes I am reading way to much into this, I am just bored and want to see if I was right in our guess that it is the minstrel.

I like the way you think! So I'll play along.

1 - Yes I did. There are 5 developer diaries that are completed. Two you'll see this week.

2 - Correct again!

3&4 Whoops, you've lost the scent. We only publish developer diaries related to the next update. There's not much point in publishing Isengard dev diaries when the expansion isn't due until Fall. Even I'm not that mean.

5 - _I____E_ . Even I'm not sure what else it could be! Afterall, I did say the two diaries this week were class diaries.

6 - Point 5 was not correct. It's Minstrel.

And no it can't be Sapience. Becuase Sapience would be ___ie__e. (Count the spaces)

yeah I figured I might be wrong and you might have actualy said that. But I am still glad you liked the thought process I did there, I am also glad that I was right on my guess that it was the minstrel (also happy for everyone else who got it to).

Also the sapience guess was a pure joke, but I still thought it interesting that at least two letters of your name are close, or sort of close to a minstrels, and both contain the same letters.

well lets try again then.

1. hmm interesting COMPLETED you say? is there some un completed for possibly next update?
2. If I'm correct on point number two could that mean more class stuff in the future?

after point two it is clear of what you mean and I probably can't look into the interpretation/meanings of them and be right again.

Thanks for letting us guess.

[Fionnuala]

SQUEEEE!!!!!

I thought for sure we'd be last! Now I must try not to get my hopes too high.

I would really hope we'd be getting class updates in the future. You know, what with all the other expansions and level cap increases and the like.

That said, why would there be any point in writing a dev diary for changes not happening for at least half a year? That's assuming no changes to the coming changes change the changes in the expansion dev diaries.

1- Good catch. There are more than 5 developer diaries for Update 2.
2- This is technically a repeat of your previous #2, which I already said was correct (There are more than 2 classes being updated for Update 2).

I think Minstrel was kind of inevitable- getting rid of Radiance means that I suspect Song of the Hopeful Heart will HAVE to be upgraded somehow.. No minstrel I know has slotted that legendary since it was a mandatory in the pre-Moria days. Here's hoping we get some skills that help the group out as far as hope goes!

[Leer]

I'm so excited, there's a smile on my face and a puddle on the floor

Cesar Millan can fix that.

My minstrel traits and uses it for soloing, since he hasn't gotten past the first 3 legendaries, and it can be useful with random bosses that have dread, when I don't feel like wasting a hope token. Buuut... yeah, it could use an update. =D
