(Rothgar) Re:Latest Game Update - My Review - Page 3

People that are enjoying the game probably see the update as cool and overlook the glitches. People that are basically through with the game, but are hanging around out of habit, probably see the update as more of the same crap. Its not fair to expect an update is going to suddenly make the game 2x better, and then blame the Devs when it isn't.

There is 4 reasons why they don't respond to player feedback 1) They have limited resources so they have to be selective 2) Your feedback is contrary to the majority of feedback 3) Your feedback is contrary to SOE's vision of the game 4) the Devs are idiots. #4 is a possiblitly although not sure how SOE tests for that when they are hiring people.

I'm convinced it's because when they turn in their self-assessments for their yearly evaluation, they do bullet points of all the 'cool' things they did during the year

ex: "Initiated player base feedback for new expansion"; "Created forum where select players could interact with devs"; "ran raids on the test server with players to determine acceptability of raid content"

All that looks fabulous on your assessment. No one actually looks to see if any of that had any follow through. It's WAY harder to incorporate a bunch of varying information into a change than it is to just go with what you want to do anyway.

The only person that's good at taking a bunch of opinions and making a decision is Captain Picard. Even HE never listens to Worf and they get in all kinds of trouble. Well, that..and he's not real.

So... SoE should hire Worf as a consultant?

Avatar gear was the thorn in the game's side for years, and contesteds were the root of all drama between raid guilds.

I said in a feedback, I'd be willing to see existing base damage on all remaining items halved up front in exchange for no gear degradation. Shoulders and chokers don't need to have +12% base damage. If they decline, it probably isn't going to matter what they do in its place because there will be Exodus.

Nah. They wouldn't listen to him, either.

Oh no the sky is falling for the 4,878th time since release.

Except, that drama is a good thing. Without it, EQ2 Flames wouldn't exist. With it, it came to be.

So I've told a guild I'm interested in "yeah, I've killed..blah blah" they look at my achievements and now I'm a liar.

With the epic failness of the new update, that one small thing is the biggest disappointment to me - since I'm looking for a guild.

Yeah, sure, I can /petition. But I'm getting really sick of having to petition for shit that should have worked in the first place.

That's not a bug. You must have been at 200AA when you killed anyone that you didn't get credit for. They have explained the retro credit a million times on the forums; you only get retro credit if you earned AA for the kill. They only info they have recorded is your AA kill list. I've killed harla dar more times than I can remember and I don't have credit for the kill, but that is because I was at max AA when I killed her.
