I'd love to feel what you're saying here, Niber, but there's been a noticeable dearth of "positive changes in the high end raiding world" as of late. It almost seems like they are deliberately trying to kill it off, and I'm normally not the type of person to make such sensationalist statements, but I can't see what could possibly account for the poor state of endgame raiding having endured so long in RoK.

As long as they maintain their guild affiliations, this isn't going to do anything. And at least in Zoltaroth's case, his class+gear pretty much gives him away, even if he changed names and guilds. :P

how was the recent caster nerf a 'positive change'?

Where are these raid fixes? Aeralik is moving this game further into the "fucked without a paddle" status. His mechanics are garbage and he doesnt even know why. we have to fucking tell him. If raids are being fixed, what is the reason for this shit ass expansion?

This is also the asshat responsible for class balance. He has brought us such wonderful spells as Possession and Puppetmaster. Fuck Aeralik. That douch wouldnt know game mechanics and class balance if it bit him in the ass.

Jeez. I just don`t think it`s drama-worthy material. Yeah they got developer in guild, yeah he helps them (also helping us probably, by actually providing some feedback to other developers), but it`s also a common knowledge. I don`t see how this should spark a big drama.
I hope you see my point.

FYI just because a Dev plays the game they develop does NOT make them a bad person.

This thread is pointless and accomplishes nothing in LFG's war with Grimwell and Gnobrin.

Niber · 03-10-2008, 11:15 PM

It's naive to think Aeralik is only responsible for mechanics. There were numerous occasions where he experienced raid content and then reported bugs/feedback to the correct designers. I was guilded with him for a little while and witnessed it first hand.

Also, I know a lot of people want to say developers are responsible for giving an unfair advantage but that couldn't be farther from the truth with Aeralik, he contributed next to nothing (strat-wise) to his guild while I was there.

It has nothing to do with Grimwell and Gnorbrin, it's here to expose the guilds that have been raiding with a crutch.

It was with no doubt a worthy 5000th post. Grats on the milestone lol. Grats Snark on the contest. Grats EQ2FLAMES for being so on the money with everything you've said and done that SOE couldn't take the pressure and used this latest drama as an excuse to sever ties. And boo to SOE for feeling EQ2FLAMES is anything but great for the game.

TBH its a travesty that the ALL the devs dont play the game they design. Could really go a long way in making it better, instead of when they get home logging onto wow and playing a supporting that..

Where is that deathklok song about fans anyway......
