    They are not honest. In this speech; where are the bots in vern? Where is EUW? This game is much better in korea and russia. Let Korea make the global game leaves most of the EU. Roxx never gives proper and clear explanations. Hundreds of people's questions on the forums are always unanswered.

    What exactly was the purpose of this "interview"? A random schoolboy talking about his new favourite movie he just saw would probably write something like this. Perhaps with the occasional 'dude' throughout the text.

    "Interview" with a fairly pointless person with little to no impact on how the game is designed and operated, filled with inane statements instead of genuine inquiry, followed by vacuous comments with zero value. Is there no quality check on this site any more?

    Nice puff piece of softball questions never hammering them the slightest on any of their screw ups or mismanagement. Is this what passes as an interview these days? This article should have had SPONSORED in the title because it sure feels like this was bought and paid for by Amazon so that only flattering questions would be asked.

    Not going to lie, possibly the worst interview I've read on this site in recent years.

    Contained absolutely no useful information, hard to do but they managed somehow.

    I am always happy about the player interviews we have had on the site and the ones that focus in on guilds. But having a fan interview a dev or community manager is rather pointless. I think if Mr Lowry does any more interviews it would be best if they were not about FFXIV or LA his main MMOs by the look of it.

    Thank you for asking absolutely nothing important. All you did was have a chin wag with Roxx, not a single thing has been gained from this article, in fact, if anything it's been more of a loss; a loss of time for any of us who bothered to read it.

    Here follows a short visual guide to interviews and game community expectations, originally developed by Raymond Terrific.

    This is what we expect:





    And this is what we get:

    Thanks for the M&W. So good.

    My expectations aren't that high, but this was a pretty light interview. Let's just this interview was full of prawn cocktail flavored crisps.

    Are prawn cocktail crisps a real thing in the UK cuz that's just nasty and we have some pretty funky gross flavors of our own in the US
    Prawn cocktail crisps used to be huge, they had the cachet of sounding posh, to me they tasted awful. Still a big seller but not as popular as they once where. Yes, we can make awful things over here too. :)

    Even though they are not among the top 20 flavours, over the years they have acquired almost mythical status. Once a product has reached the stage of a euromyth, it reaches the plane of PR gods and rules the minds and hearts irrespective of data and facts. Prawn cocktail crisps have ascended and are now beyond the realm of pedestrian flavours.

    We have them in the U.S. Check any asian market for dried shrimp, pretty much same thing.
    I wish those awful Crips were as good as dried shrimp!

    Guys, the title is ‘Chatting Lost Ark With……’ so why people are criticizing the lack of a proper interview is beyond me, this is something else. It is rather fitting though, wide as the ocean and deep as a puddle, just like the actual game  o:)

    'the only way he could nail it any better is if he used a cross.'

    Kyleran on yours sincerely 


    'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    I does say "Discussion/Interview" and "Interview" in the next line though, but yes "chatting" should give a clue to the informal nature of the item. Still I think some teeth were needed for an interview. How wide chatting, how deep the interview is another matter. :)

    That's because they have ninja-changed the title of the forum article. Even now the browser tab says "Interview", which was the original title. You can still see the original title when you open the full article; the forum post has been changed to "Discussion / Interview: Chatting Lost Ark...".

    It's also archived here with the original title.

    Anyway, the discussion has moved on to crisps, so get back on topic!

    I can understand them doing that, someone maybe Anthony himself thought this is pushing it for an Interview, fair play to them they changed it.

    There is no discussion, there is only Salt and Vinegar. :)

    Salt and Vinegar are really the only kind I like too, although the Hawaiian Kettle chips are pretty good sometimes.

    The problem being there isn't a great direct correlation between UK crisps and US chips. I see it as all potato (real like Lays and artificial like Pringles) and tortilla chips are crisps, but a few things considered as crisps in the UK I would call crackers or some sort of artificial chip.

    So, the transcontinental question crisps (or potato chips) on a sandwich or not?

    Answer? NO! You can eat a crisp and then take a bite of a sandwich, but putting them on a good sandwich makes them soggy.

    Anyways, it isn't that the interview was bad per se, but that it feels like a fan service promo instead of something informative.
    If you are going to eat crisps in a sandwich they will get soggy, that's why you wolf them down straight away...delicious.

    You do need to stick with quality crisps though, we have some national brands here that I would not by a packet from.

    You won't fool us, we know exactly what you are trying to do here. You and Zorvan are slowly pushing the topic away from crisps and towards the pizza territory. 

    ...there's pizza!

    You will not succeed.

    I mean, come on!

    Back on topic, crisps in a sandwich is an abomination that should be fought with every gram of zeal. With food, your objective is to create something that is better than the sum of its parts. With this combination, you are doing the exact opposite.
