Some cheese with that whine? posted by Sakkarah on Feb 22, 2006 16:30

Ever read the Stratics boards? If you like soap operas, it's the place to be. Whine central extraordinaire. I never thought so many people could complain so much all the time! I never quite understood how people seriously think they will get cooperation from the Dev when they flame, whine, moan and complain every chance they get. I'm surprised the Devs still even bother answering half the threads, especially when people flame about stuff that has already been answered or is currently being addressed. Go figure... quote: Thread: Final Petition Post Date/Time: 02/21/06 04:13 AM (GMT –6) Comment: would like a dev, MrTact or Wilki or whoever, to tell us that either: A) The changes put forth by MrTact, baring minimal changes, are going to be published to all shards, or B) The changes put forth by MrTact, are still up in the air about whether they will ever make it to any shard, and that balancing the game in its current form is still an option. Myself and many others are just waiting for this info to decide what to do. Wilki: Please read several of my prior posts where I answered this very question in detail. http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/uo/STpostlistdev.php There is a reason why the shard is named "PvP Experiment". ___________________________________________ Thread: Final Petition Post Date/Time: 02/21/06 04:14 AM (GMT –6) Comment: They'll never answer you. They don't actually play like we do. They only look at the game from a profit/loss standpoint and whether they'll get a bonus when all of this is done. Of course, I have a sneaking suspicion that if their bonuses are based on profits that they won't get big ones after publish 40. It's unfortunate. Wilki: Where to start? 1. I'm answering. 2. I have many thousands of hours across my 3 active accounts. I don't remember the exact amount, but it's 4-5 maybe 7k? I'd say I've played enough UO over the years to have a thorough understand of just about every system in the game. Having lived exclusively in Fel that entire time, I also have significant experience with PvP. 3. Nice snide comment about bonuses and profit/loss, but what on earth does that have to do with re-designing combat? Do you honestly think the CEO of EA is going to take a look at Pub40, and say, "Wow, you know Bing, that's an awesome design! They're having some problems getting the players to understand what they're doing, but let's give that UO Team big bonuses this year!" Please. What's unfortunate here is the complete lack of understanding I see on this forum. I don't know how many ways I can say, "The changes aren't finalized, they aren't even done being implemented on the TC, and we stuck this out here this early on in the design process precisely so you could give us feedback!" Somehow, that message isn't sinking in. And don't tell me we're "ignoring you" or any other nonesense along those lines. I've read more of those posts than is allowed by federal work safety regulations (shhh, don't tell OHSA), and I know what you've some have been saying. I also know that much of the negative feedback is based on completely wrong assumptions. The bottom line is that you cannot make a final determination of how balanced these changes will be until they're done being implemented on the TC, and we've made some tweaks to the specifics based on your feedback. That's exactly what MrTact has been working on the past couple of weeks. When he's finished with the next round, they'll get published and you can check them out then. Until then, all of this hootin' and hollerin is really unjustified. Comment: People are in such a panic over the game that all major commerce has stopped, no one is buying. Sad but true. Hmmm.....thinks to self, things only got this bad AFTER AoS. Maybe this should let people know something. Wilki: Yeah, it let's us know that we need to undo some of the bad aspects of AoS.
