LoLKat, 25 fire dom

I can bring a scrapper or a tank, depending on what is needed.

I don't remember anything from last night.

*eyes LHF suspiciously*

Never trust a Canadian.


PS

LoLKat, level 21 fire/psi dom

Moar!

Nice work!

Me!

Peep said no high level villains on Justice. No high level heroes either?

Last placeholder Matinee...The Saga of Lanaruu (lvl 44-50), contact Faathim the Kind -located in the Chantry. Minimum team size 8.

Not the longest Shard TF, but you fight a fair number of Rularuu and then have a bunch of clicky missions. As long as the team makes good use of flight/tp and vet/temp powers, it isn't too bad.

Remember, we start forming the team at 9:45 PST (and whatever that is in other time zones). Please try to be in the Chantry before the go time.

1. Mike Honcho
2. Peep
3. Kat - probably Boo Kat 50 scrapper
4. Scimfish
5. Laser Jesus
6. Kaiser_Soze
7.
8.

I see what you did there. I think.

Interesting idea. Good luck keeping Smoke and some of those others out of this.

OK, just to be clear, which one is everyone talking about when they say Faathim?

The TF that Faathim gives out, "The Saga of Lanaruu", or Agustine's TF, "The Saga of Faathim"? They are both 44-50.

I will be there, but we still need to figure out what we are doing!

Great stuff Thorny!

What lucas is trying to say...

BTW, I agree with lucas

...because I am a carebear.

Castle at home reading the forum

Castle: Wow light house quit, yet another thread about how we should bring i12 back somehow, let me call babs.
Babs: Sup castle?
Castle: It's been months since i13 closed beta and ppl are still hating this new pvp and we actually lost ppl instead of attracting them.
Babs: I told you this would happen, just give them back their pvp man, you know I'll hook you up on the animations it's nothing.
Castle: Your right, but giving in is like admitting a mistake was made and heaven forbid i do that i'll just continue to pretend all these threads don't exist and just tell everyone it's a success and i think we'll pull through this :P
Babs: That's just wrong I'm getting off the phone with you man I'm a throw up listening to this.
Castle: Thats cool later Babs I'm a ignore these threads anyway, but i feel the need to respond to this thread i see about jello :P

That conversation never happened.

Still, I laughed.

Ah, good point. Well, that makes the majority of my post more true. I had origonally ended with a paragraph about how the deleting and locking of threads was making the problem worse, because people needed a place to blow off steam on this issue and to feel like they are being heard. I thought it was such a good idea that I went to check to make sure their wasn't already a thread like that. I guess I should have checked to see if it was locked.

LHF has posted a position, and rather well I think. Unfortunately, I am sure that his thread will devolve into a big flame war between those who agree with that position, and the response we have already seen:

The gist of that response, as articulated by one poster, is, "I don't care about your opinion, and I don't think most other people do either."

That response seems to encapsulate to some degree the position of the powers that be on this whole issue, or at least what their position appears to be to many who are involved in this whole big mess. I think that alone is the bases for much of the frustration.

Let’s start from the beginning…my position is this: I don’t want people to leave. The only reason I play this game is because of the community. The more people who are here, the more fun the game is for me. I would hope most players agree with this. I am sure the Devs do also.

At the basic level, I agree that the Devs must do something about the farming. Not because I care what someone else wants to do with their time to have fun, but quite simply because it had all gotten too easy, and I agree with that article someone posted: if things come too easily, people will soon get bored and leave.

The problem is that the current response seems to have gone a bit too far. It most certainly wasn’t communicated very well. The overall feel is that they just don’t care. That is the root of the problem for many, I think. And while many people might not care, there are some who are leaving, and there are others who are upset. Although they might not be a majority or even a large minority…they are a large enough group that I care. As with any action that affects the number of people paying the game, we should all care.

The goal of any developer corrective action should always be to accomplish their goal while alienating the fewest number. With that in mind, I am not sure this whole thing was handled very well.

However, I am smart enough to know that when I post my opinions on this subject, some people will get mad. Others will flame. In some ways, this is good. I would rather know that people still care enough about this game to get passionately angry about it! Unfortunately, the inevitable flames that break out are probably enough of a reason for most of the posts on this subject to get deleted.
When those threads get deleted, it makes those who are passionate about the issue even MORE upset. It validates what they are feeling…that the Devs just don’t care.

The irony with all of this is that usually our Devs are fairly open about discussing their actions with us. They solicit player opinions, they hold open beta, they respond to and react to feedback that they receive. Our Devs DO care. But, because the response the Devs chose to deal with this whole issue, that being GM action, is specifically barred by forum rules from discussion, the feelings of those who are upset are being made worse.

Anyway, I highly recommend that you post your opinions on this subject, good or bad, in this feedback thread : Positron's 'Abusing Mission Architect' thread.

Just a thought, since I no almost nothing about the magic computer boxes, but could it be an adult content warning of some kind?

Nooooooooo!
