Really?

Really?

Because the development schedule wasn't completely scrapped and redone on a moment's notice because of a feedback thread you're going to make the case that it's OK for them to derail *every* thread about content and complain that "Devs don't listen to players?"

Really?

At the time that thread was being made, Issue 23 was on the whiteboard. The next Issue that comes out isn't going to represent the feedback of players, even if the Devs agree with it 100%

And this is the Devs being sympathetic to them. What if the Devs simply disagreed with their position or if what they wanted wasn't feasible. Is it still OK to complain in every content thread about their wants?

Yeah, we still get Base and PvP fans to throw in the occasional "What? No Base/PvP love?" that's off topic. And their subs pay for the game, too. But this is ridiculous the amount of repetitive off-topic complaining from this camp.

"I want it" is not a justification to puke on every thread they can.

What *I* would like is for you and Eiko and the handful of solo-only-ists to stop making *every* *single* *thread* about the near or far future of the game about "Devs hate soloists."

Every thread about I19.

Every thread about 19.5.

Every thread about I20.

Every thread about Incarnates.

Every thread about rewards.

Every patch notes thread.

Over and over and over and over and over again.

We know. You said it. Go back and count how many posts you made with this very same point.

The Mods gave those of you with this position your own thread to get your feedback and still you piss on every other thread with the same lament. They heard you. What do you want now?

But you know what? Each time you make your case I and others will be there to point out how extreme it is and how absurd it is for an MMORPG. It's not going to get any traction with the Devs. So, keep it up. Post the same thing more and more and more. We'll be there to bury it like you're trying to bury every thread with your multi-posted position. Congratulations on your lobbying efforts.

En garde.

The Raid pre-Beta Testing began over half a year ago. And what is being released now might not be all that's being tested under the NDA.



WRT timing: Don't forget we got a new Winter Event mission and 19.5. From the way the devs have talked, we might be getting 20.5 at some point. That spreads things out and reduces the whining about length of time between Issues, but it also reduces the backload of stuff thrown into one issue leading to whining that an issue is too light. For some people, it will never be enough.



While some might consider this a 'light' issue content-wise, remember that mechanical improvements (which some don't consider 'content') often winds up making current content *better*.

The League system will undoubtedly make CoP, Hami Raids, and MotherShip Raids easier to run, and thus, more likely to happen. (Those not 'into' these things will likely say, "so what?"). But for many players, it improves content and will make that content more likely to happen. It may even encourage large scale PvP zone events (!).

Just think of how SuperSidekicking improved content without being 'new content.' The League system is poised to do the same.

The European Test/Beta server or the U.S. Beta Server?

The Europeans might find out a lot more tonight.

On flaming sharks with laser swords that shoot laser swords.

Just make sure the new intern doesn't escape like the last one!

On flaming sharks.

You got cable dogs?

Ah, you're right.

Tho, I remember in early Beta that Villains had to see Statesman, and, of course, they couldn't.... fun times.

It'll be a waypoint pointing to under the road which you can't get to.

What if you're on a game show?

Ummm... yeah. But you might be missing a pattern here, too.

Why so sad.. nay, angry?

"Neigh!"

That's usually a dead giveaway that the updater is trying to update itself and trips over itself in the process.

Copy the updater to the desktop (not a shortcut, but a copy of the .exe file) and add -test to the startup command; then run the updater from the desktop. That should fix everything and then you can start using the shortcut as normal.

Funny, I was expecting the first letters of each line to spell INTERNET.
