Quick question: I just got an Ice Shards back piece drop from Finkle Foundry. Is Finkle Foundry supposed to be able to drop that? Since it's not in the loot table NPC and I've never seen this before in... a few hundred Finkle Foundries too many, it just threw me for a loop.
1) Bug fixes (and I consider the removal of the player-run chat-ban system fixing a bug). 2) The Foundry. 3) The Foundry. 4) The Foundry. 5) The Foundry.
It's a business run by a very large company (Perfect World, International). They have PLENTY of money, they just don't think it's worth the risk. The problem with Foundry is that it's an investment that's impossible to demonstrate ROI. If they put in the resources and released Foundry, anything that happens next would be…
They've never, ever said the Foundry can't be done. In fact their exact words was that the Foundry is ready for Champions, however, Champions is not ready for the Foundry because they would have to go through all the art assets and retag them not to mention creating newer maps and assets specifically for the Foundry.
