    John Smedley tweeted a short time ago that the development team will soon be focusing purely on optimization. As a result, we may be waiting longer for some of the content related additions that are coming. ...

    This is for the best, but I really think they need to finish the Amerish lattice now before they take this break.

    Knowing Sony the Amerish Lattice is pretty much finished and will be going in soon(tm) but this needed to get done. A year out and people are still having multiple issues on optimization. We see it in our own outfit. Patch comes out and some of us have had framerate hits/memory leaks/general performance issues. Need to iron these things out first. And it should be a high priority.

    Whoa, does this mean I'm gonna get more than 10FPS in large fights? That'd be a dream.

    This straight from Smedly on reddit


    Few other comments addressing things you guys have raised here and elsewhere.

    • Does this mean Hossin, or Feature X, Y or Z are on hold?
    • Answer - I've asked that we cease work on everything else until we get the performance situation significantly improved? What does that mean? It means faster, using less memory and better behaving. Beyond that we need to wait and see.
    • Does this mean AMD's are getting attention?
    • Answer - yes
    • Does this mean that Multicore support is coming?
    • Answer - yes.
    • Why didn't we do this before?
    • Answer - we have tried a lot of stuff while the plane is in the air and flying. We cant keep adding stuff without taking the time to clean this up. That's what we've been doing and it's been a mistake.
    • Will this impact Everquest Next -
    • Answer No
    • How much faster will I see the game run -
    • Answer - not sure yet. Let us do our work on this and get back to you.

    Ok, so the focus from yesterday on will be solely on optimization. Good. I'm still 100% on board with this. I'd rather have them fix the game first than constantly add more stuff to it.

    Other than abandoning Amerish to an unplayed wasteland I'm 90% on board with this. lol
