Roger: It's time for you to step down. - Page 7

It's one thing to say it's the mechanics, it's something else when you have a set of 10 abilities and you throw darts at them to see what effects you get.

War with a vision buff? what the fuck is that about

I have told this story before, but when I was in NPU and we tested TNT, another zone Roger did, he contacted our MT to ask WHAT ZONE CONNECTED TO TNT! So that the almighty raid dev could join us. He didn't even know where the zone he created was.

Please god SOE put this guy on something he can handle like.... I dunno solo content, leave the raiding to people who have "some" understanding as to how to make raiding fun.

Roger designs raids based on wether or not he thinks he can beat them. If he feels he couldn't beat the mob, its ready for live. Thats his whole philosophy, make it so hard that no one can beat it then tune it down based on the public outcry. Whatever happened to understanding the game and how it effects raids? This guy is a total chode.

Pretty sure he did the exact same thing to tranquility, copy past IS ftw after all, but multiple guilds have killed it. thats not to say i agree with it, getting a mob to 40% to have all your tansk charmed at once when an ae is do pretty much means insta fail due to a circumstance totally out of your control. those are the encounters that really piss me off.

Ill take copy pasted, partial luck based encounters over the watered down pussy bullshit that was beat by every third rate causal guild and their little sister with in a month of the expansion. Rodger is the only one i see making encounters worth a fuck with some degree of difficulty.

If anyone needs to step down its Lyndro and anyone above him for letting the expansion suck as whole. With all the problems of this expansion you don't go looking for the 1 designer, you go after the person was supposed to be in charge of all the designers. The one who was supposed to balance risk vrs reward, give the other designers direction, and maintain the overall constancy.There are tons of threads here about everything that is wrong with the expansion from raid encounters, to loot, to the level grind being about quest, to the epics delayed for so long, to a boatload of broken mechanics. In my opinion the blame rest with Lyndro. Lyndro may have been a great designer, but i think he is an utter failure in management.

Dont replace rodger, replace the person who shoulda said"rodger your using this mechanic to much," the person who shoulda said "fyreflyte why is some of the heroic gear better then the raid gear'" The person who shoulda said "is questing the only way to lvl," and the person who shoulda said "Feconix dont you think VP is little to easy?"

Nobody 'fights' War. You simply get buttfucked by him... Or rather by the warmongers.

"Target me for Warmon.... oh nm I'm dead... Oh the MA is dead too. Oh everyone's dead before I even got to hit my macro".

This Roger guy has a lot to answer for.

So....Roger is the guy behind Nexona right?
Now, how come some people voted "yes, he has proven he cannot create content"...yet the very same praise Nexona as "best fight ever" etc. just a few threads down?

Nexona is not the best fight ever. It involves having to click fucking shinies to avoid an instant wipe. It also requires LOW dps on the dragon to avoid an instant wipe. So it forces 2 players to run around hunting shinies and the dps to not do their job. It's not the best fight ever, it's a load of wank.

You're probably right..I couldnt say. I don't raid anymore...
However...I'm still confused.

Some that all voted "yes".

Well..I guess you are allowed to change your mind...or jump on the bandwagon

if someone says: Nexona is the best fight ever ! than he wasn't someone who had to search for shinies.
