It's not just the manager unfortunately. It goes all the way up to the top. They all need a swift kick in the pants.

Thanks for the hugs and stuff everyone.

There is actually a lot more garabage going on then that, but I kinda could only post what I thought wouldn't get modded hehe.

I'd reply Hexxy.. but I can't speak candian

Me either. What's candian?

some hockey playing country

Hmm no candian on the the atlas. Perhaps you meant Canada, where there are Canadians, who speak english.

So, sometimes you plan for things to go wrong?

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, yeah, if I'm afraid something is going to go wrong, I like to think about what I'd do if it happened. Contingency planning, I guess you'd call it.

[/ QUOTE ]

You're not the only one. Most people at some point or another plans for something to go wrong. It's kind of the "what if" factor.

[ QUOTE ]
Sorry to hear about that, Hexy. I hope that they are at least paying your medical bills, since the injury occured on the job.

[/ QUOTE ]

I live in Canada, no medical bills.

And I know alone, these things wouldn't be such a big deal, it's just that they keep happening one ontop of another. I already had enough going wrong in my life, I didn't need a new pile.

[ QUOTE ]
Even the job who fired me because I injured my back lifting a 300 lbs printer went bankrupt. I was happy.

[/ QUOTE ]

BWAHAHAHAHA You have no idea how badly I wish this on the retarded company I was working for. Honestly they should be shut down anyways.

You guys are all awesome and I know you won't smack me down if I vent a little about some of the crap going on lately.

I know a lot of you are aware I got my tablet for my b-day which was basically a replacement for the one my dog chewed up as a puppy. I have been without one for about 6 years now and I was really excited to get it. But alas, it was DOA. I have been dealing with the manufacturer and retailer and because I'm in Canada, a seperate distributer to get a replacement. Finally after a month, they told me to send it back to them under the RMA number they gave me and they would test it to make sure it is defective and then send me another one.

Ok so that's taken care of now and I'm in the process of waiting which is extremely aggrivating.

Some of you know that I hurt my arm at work a while back. Well apparently I injured it a lot worse then originally thought and I still have limited use of it. The time off I had to take to go in for doc appointments and theropy and all that led to my dismissle from my job. Nice right? The base injury occured at work and they let me go because of abscences. Unfortunately I couldn't really say much about it because I was under the 90 probationary period where they can let you go without reason. So now, I'm jobless right before the holidays and I won't be able to find a job until after Christmas because everyone hired holiday help a week before I was let go. What a way to screw someone over.

So basically it comes down to being broke, unhappy and in pain. I can't draw because it aggrivates my arm too much and sends surges of pain all the way to my shoulder. If I get my tablet back before my arm is actually better, I won't likely be able to use it. Even typing hurts after a while.

Case in point, Hexy is PO'd!

*points to Sig*

Feel free to use Hex

I miss her *sigh*

"There was" hissy-fittage, I guess you were trying to say?

Really, the only notable snippage was the Taser digression before the weekend, and you can't really hold the thread responsible. Much like this digression, he was complaining about a "ZOMG!" discussion that didn't actually exist in this thread.

Have fun in the parody threads before they get deleted.

Yes yes silly boy, but that is when my posts started.

And I will thank you

I wasn't fighting with anyone, I was just stating my opinion on the matter/thread/issue blah blah blah. If you don't like me saying "Hey, hit that dead horse again" then fine, but I am definitely not angry or threatened by people discussing anything.

[/ QUOTE ]
The title of the thread is "Disappointment in the Update Schedule", not "Disappointment in the Quality of Constructive Criticism" - in case you missed that. Since there hasn't been much hissy-fittage at all in this thread, I'm not sure why this digression you've perpetuated over the weekend became the point of the thread.

Smells a little threadjack-y. Smells a little axe-grindy. Maybe something's being lost in translation. Thanks for keeping this thread on the front page, though. There was some good constructive dialogue and feedback for the actual topic of the thread going on before the weekend, and your bumps have a good chance to get some fresh eyes today for the original topic that was initiated by the first posting.

If you want us to take you seriously then please post right.

[/ QUOTE ]

Last word? No. If I was trying to do that, I would reply to every post saying "Stop whining" or the like *shrug*

And ick.. I see typos in my post. *sighs* Try as I may, my brain is still mush some days.

Why is it that people come on these boards with legitimate complaints, and then a gaggle of posters call "whiner!".

Hey, stop using the boards for one of thier chief purposes!

I don't know if these guys realized this, but the devs have actually actioned issues which have been vetted on these boards. The halloween event is a recent example. Also of note is that the RSF is being lowered to level 53, and villains are going to get access to the hami raid.

Not all complaints are worthwhile, but at least make that case instead of the ad hominem attack of "Whiner!"

[/ QUOTE ]

People already did make the case. The boards aren't here to make the same complaints over and over and over again, nor are they here for people to use to try and bash the devs.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, you've made your point that you feel this thread's topic has been driven into the ground several times. The peak of your moral high ground is so subtle as to be nigh imperceptible to the outside observer.

I'm not telling you to stop posting as you please, but there seems to be a paradox at work here. Just sayin'.

[/ QUOTE ]

No paradox, just beating one repeative post with another.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, no moral high ground for you, either, just preaching to the choir for some strange reason. I don't understand why this polite, reasonable thread threatens you so much. Right now, what we have going is a long unrelated digression about what's 'worthy' of posting. If you're so angsty about elevating the discussion, why don't you go to an actual "ZOMG!" thread and educate some actual "ZOMG!" posters? It would seem to be a more constructive choice, but maybe I'm missing something here.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I could've sworn that this was an engaging and fairly constructive discussion about CoX's content update scheduling and composition before the holiday weekend.

[/ QUOTE ]

You misread my tone. That or you just like to argue with people over nothing. It really doesn't matter either way. I wasn't fighting with anyone, I was just stating my opinion on the matter/thread/issue blah blah blah. If you don't like me saying "Hey, hit that dead horse again" then fine, but I am definitely not angry or threatened by people discussing anything. I do however find more in a few of these posts then a "polite reasonable discussion". Much like you are finding more in my posts then there really is I suppose.

Roughly 40% of the playerbase left when the drastic changes of I5 and I6 went live.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just curious: what's your source for this statistic?

[/ QUOTE ]

I was wondering the same thing. But we all know that 79% of statistics are made up on the spot, which is 53% believable.

Whining is a point of view . It was cool that you took the time to write all that , but it was irrelevant .

Agree to disagree , telling people they are whining in a forum where your encourage by the Developers to give your opinion is flaming , there isn't any reason for it.

EDIT: I'm only talking about *Whining* in general , there isn't any reason people attacking other people with that term , when all they had to do was say " Sorry I disagree , this is why"

[/ QUOTE ]

The post wasn't irrelevant anymore then yours is, there is a difference between constructively complaining about something that needs fixing/changed and just flat out complaining (not saying this thread is either or, just in general).

And before you go off saying that people shouldn't attack others with such terms, perhaps you should not tell someone their post is irrelevant because it's essentially the type of attack.

[/ QUOTE ]HexGirl , did you read what I said? I was only talking about *Whining* I wasn't putting her post down or anything (I liked her post , maybe I worded my post wrong ) .

I meant giving excuses why some people do it was irrelevant , because we shouldn't be calling other posters *whiners* in the first place.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes I read it. If that was what you were implying it definitely doesn't come across that way. The way it's worded says "You're whole post is irrellevant". Maybe a little more specification next time?

At the risk of riding this runaway thread further into the bit bucket:

This is a prime example of "It's not what you say but how you say it," syndrome. It matters not if the first quote was making a valid point or not: the pooly chosen phrase, "it was irrelevant," closed any doors to reaching an understanding. It made the post personal.

When posts focus on the game, instead of on the players or devlopers, things really go much smoother. Always read twice before pushing that [Continue] button.

What I meant was would you get the contact for Faultline from one of your former contacts if you went to lvl 15 before I8 came out, or would you simply "miss out"?

[/ QUOTE ]

You just go to the contact and talk to them yourself. I don't think an old contact will give it to you, but you will get the contact if you go talk to him on your own.

Correct <@_@>
