Where's the usual Rogue's Gallery video?

I enjoyed seeing & reading the Brass Monkey's Rogue's Gallery description, but I don't see a Rogue's Gallery video about him, with the voice actor that did the Rogue's Gallery videos, like usual. Not that I'm worried or something. Just wondering that there isn't a Rogue's Gallery video for Count Brastillo de Brass.

Bonnie Anne or One-Eyed Jack, if either of you are around, answer me this. Shouldn't there be the usual latest Rogue's Gallery video about the Brass Monkey? I could imagine it taking a bit longer to make, because of it's slightly longer backstory description.

I was surprised, too. But I choose to look at this as a positive sign, that our storyline update is coming ( test realm ) and KI just didn't have the time to produce a video for the Rogue's Gallery.

Well, if that's so, then KI would be preparing for another usual batch of teasers to showcase previews of the updates to come before the Test Realm goes up again. It's been not long since the Test Realm was up again, & still, I would like to return there once again.

I don't think it takes long for KI to make a Rogue's Gallery video, but I understand that they didn't have time to produce another one this time. This next storyline update's been a very long time coming.

Hope KI will give us at least another new update that adds more changes & fixes to improve it, while they're preparing for the larger update to come, almost like before.

It upset me to read the newsletter and a) have it have so little information about anything regarding anything that I wanted to scream, and b) have it not have the video. I always likes watching those.

Sigh :(

Anecorbie, I think you might be going out on a limb that KI couldn't make a rogues gallery video because they're to busy working on test realm. (Which I REALLY can't blame you for) We all want a new world, but lets keep our logic in check. Lol.

Well, remember, in P101, we undergo Trips to worlds, current & new, & even if we see a new world added, we would have to make our First Trip to that new world before going on later trips to other worlds in the story. Today, our Second Trip to Valencia has been due for a long time, & there's still 4 Map Pieces to obtain, 2 to find, & 2 to take back from the Armada before they get to El Dorado. They'll no doubt be ready for our return, & we're sure they'll do everything in their power to pull out all the stops to get all the Pieces of Marco Pollo's Map to El Dorado, whatever it takes.

And, I remember One-Eyed Jack's blog post about the process of creating their Rogue's Gallery videos, "To pull these together requires coordination between writers, concept artists and a videographer, and these are slowly created over the course of the month. In the end, about five or six people have been involved to produce one video.", so it takes about a very tiny percentage of KI's staff to make these videos in a month's course, including the same voice actor that does the narration in these videos. I'm sure they're busy to get the Test Realm ready again, & don't worry, they'll still make their Rogue's Gallery videos. And like you said, let's keep our logic in check.

Ok, maybe so, but why expend time and resources on producing a video on a very minor boss? A boss, I might add, who doesn't even drop his own epic gear. Most videos have been about companions or main quest line villains or NPCs we act for.
Right now, I'm trying to hold on to any hope of a storyline update, and if KI is skimping on the Rogue's Gallery videos, it seems logical to me that they're spending their time on something more important.
