“Lead Designer for The Secret World Romain Amiel here, filling in for Game Director Joel Bylos. The first month of 2014 has come to an end, which means it’s time for some new updates! The good news is that Joel will return to this side of the world next week to claim his crown back. And I will quietly go back to my other duties.
In other news, the final chapter of The Whispering Tide – the open raid against the Bird of the Zero Point Pathogen – will be going live in a few days. Based on your feedback through the Testlive Server we have decided to reduce the maximum amount of players to 40. This will help ensuring a smoother frame-rate on all machines, and therefore prevents many deaths, as the fight itself will requires a lot of movement.”
