As for recording VO, we have an amazingly optimised process with tons of skilled people. We can go from receiving a new design, to writing dialogue, casting, recording, editing and doing motion capture within a week. A finished cut-scene can be ready -- if needed and we focus our cinematic team on it -- a week after that. I don't think there are a lot of companies in this industry that can say the same, but we have a lot of experience in this area, after doing TLJ, Dreamfall, and now The Secret World -- all games heavy on dialogue and cinematic sequences. Of course, for the most part, we like to spend a little longer getting everything perfect, but at most, it's about a month from writing the dialogue to having a finished cut-scene in the game -- and we plan ahead. I've already looked at and approved a couple of cinematics for 1.3, which is due in September. So...yeah. We got this covered. #262 As for the marketplace -- why didn't we launch the game with that? We felt the marketplace wasn't quite ready yet, and rather than launch with something half-assed, we decided to spend another few weeks fixing, polishing, testing, fixing, polishing and testing. I'd rather give you guys a solid feature and take the heat for it being delayed, than to launch with a buggy one. The GUI team wrapped up their latest test today, in fact, and things are looking good, so it's not far off now. My plan is to have a new SotG out every week or two, at least for the near-to-intermediate future. In the long run, maybe once a month will be enough, but right now I feel it's important to keep you guys updated on what's happening and what we're doing. After all, you're paying us money, so it's only fair. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns! And thanks for playing!

We care about our players and the community, and though we're not perfect, everyone here is working to make you guys happy and to provide the best service (and the best GAME) possible.
