The Darkfall: Rise of Agon site has a brief note from the Big Picture Games development team that thanks players for their feedback over the past few months since the game's release. Using that feedback, the new direction moving forward will be focused on "removing tedium, grinds and power gaps to make Darkfall: Rise of Agon truly accessible to anyone".
According to the post, many of the issues reported by the community came due to trying to stick to the roots of what DF had become and by trying to straddle the line between hardcore and casual. Realizing its missteps, Big Picture is beginning a process of design discussions with its community to better plan the steps moving forward.
