My brute's pleated skirt is clipping. Here are the examples:

Normal No Clipping
Clipping 1
Clipping 2
Clipping 3

And NOBODY is sexy til all the bugs are fixed. NOBODY!!!!

After that we will readdress the sexy issue.

Don't worry, the devs don't read this board

[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldn't say that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ahhh you can read the boards but not the PM I sent with a list of all the bugs I could find? Hmm...thats not quite right.

Great guide, life insurance from FF Mayhem is 48 hours. I know the clock on mine just ran out

I think they do compare, a job is a job. If you worked at burger king and you always messed up orders, then you would be FIRED after enough people complained. If you were a mechanic and you mucked up people's engine's time and time again you would be fired.

[/ QUOTE ] They might fire the emplyee, but would they fire the Supervisor of that employee? Statesman is a supervisor, resposible for many facets of the business. While lack of notes may be bad, he is also resposible for content, code, personel, and lord knows what else... All of it more or less important than bad notes. But unless it's game breaking(and I don't think bad notes are), then he would have to blow in in some other areas befor he would get terminated.Massive defective code? Yes! Inapropreate content? Yes!! But as long as you and I can log in and play, no...

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay so we know Jack isn't going anywhere (thats just a pipe dream of a LOT of people, myself included); but yet you want me to put my faith in someone who consistently and often posts "errors" and forgets things? No thanks.

As for me walking away from the game, I have and come back. As Puretone said, I play it to be with my friends, the community. But I too see more and more of them getting disgusted and going to play WoW and Eve and a few other MMOs. That alone should be a wakeup call to Statesman. It usually is to ANY OTHER COMPANY.

And no bad patch notes aren't game breaking, they are morale breaking, causing customers to think "yep..there they go again with the 'stealth nerfs'". I can log in and play, do I enjoy it as much as I did in I3? NO. Now when I respec a toon instead of doing it quite quickly, I sit there with my steno pad and my pencil, just thinking about what I am going to do, where should I slot, and will this power be nerfed anytime soon?

[ QUOTE ]

So yeah, I'm soooooooo inclined to believe this nerf really affects I7's timeline. If you believe that, I have a bridge I can sell you in San Franscisco *wink*.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm a professional software developer, and depending on their build protocols and source control tools, rolling back one specific change could indeed throw the schedule off. I don't know any of their specifics, but it's believable.


[/ QUOTE ]

I'd be inclined to believe any other dev that told me that. Fool me once, shame on you, Fool me twice....

[ QUOTE ]
Dysmal, I agree with you. I was specifically answering MonkeyB's commentary on how doing the same would result in loss of a job. Well, I don't think the two rally can compare.

Should they do this right? Yes. However, complaining for people to lose jobs when they're doing something they don't have to do at all is just stupid and does us no damn good. IMO. They could just not bother much. They could make all the patch notes completely abstract. They wouldn't be the first people to do so.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think they do compare, a job is a job. If you worked at burger king and you always messed up orders, then you would be FIRED after enough people complained. If you were a mechanic and you mucked up people's engine's time and time again you would be fired. How much different is it here? They don't clock in and out at Cryptic? They don't ever fire anyone (probably not the head honcho lol)?

IMO, it does compare to any other job. If you mess up repeatedly, something needs to change.

[ QUOTE ]
There's a difference.

This isn't anyone's job. There are two community reps: Cuppa and Awry. No one else has to come here and tell us squat.

That they do rocks. That they don't get it right sucks. That they have promised to get it right and not done so sucks. I want it to get better, bad and right now. But it just ain't their damn job.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah its not CJ's or Awry's job but it is STATESMAN's. And he was whom I was referring to.

It's time for Cryptic and NCsoft to make clear, accurate, number-based patch notes a business commitment to its clients. Because it saves time and effort, fosters good relations, and it's the heroic thing to do.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's not always easy when you have only a few minutes to grab what you hope are the right numbers and create your post before having to run off to do all the other important things, all while scarfing down the last of your sandwich and drinking the last of your cold coffee. Mistakes happen when things get busy.

[/ QUOTE ]

Listen. I cut everybody slack. I know people make mistakes and that everyone has a life and more important things going on than this game. BUT, this is his business. All business is a mix of providing a product or service AND marketing that product or service. They have admittedly made mistakes in both and I am duly impressed and very forgiving when people admit to their mistakes. But when you continue to make the same types of mistakes, as a business or as an individual, it gets to a point where saying "sorry" just isn't enough. When you get to that point, you need to reevaluate what you are doing and take concrete steps to improve.

Is there anyone here that disagrees with my suggestion that it's time for Cryptic and NCsoft to make clear, accurate, number-based patch notes as a business commitment to its clients.?

Do you disagree Personamorpher?

[/ QUOTE ]

Amen. Every issue there is a "typo" or an "oops." If I had a mistake every time I filed a pleading, I would be out of a JOB.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]

Sorry, thats not acceptable to me, if this is an "I7" change, then put it in with I7, until then my toons have to suffer with this change because they are not able to change the HO code (which as many many people have pointed out sounds very odd).

My suggestion is keep your buff til I7.

[/ QUOTE ]
Hmm... But didn't Statesman say...

Statesman:
[ QUOTE ]
Ideally, the Enhancement change should’ve gone hand in hand with I7. To be honest, there was an error there. Unfortunately, we discovered that we couldn’t pull the change out without jeopardizing the I7 release schedule. Right now, QA (at NCSoft and Cryptic) is working away at I7 and shaking out bugs. If we were to roll back this change, our teams would need to put I7 aside and retest the current build. I made the decision to stay the course instead.

[/ QUOTE ]

To be honest, I'd rather them not prolong I7 longer than it already is...

[/ QUOTE ]

Didn't know he said that but lets also take into consideration some of the other things that he's said. For example "pets were never meant to stack"; "we won't make major changes to pve for pvp"; and my absolute fave: "we won't be making any serious changes anymore." I consider this a serious change.

So yeah, I'm soooooooo inclined to believe this nerf really affects I7's timeline. If you believe that, I have a bridge I can sell you in San Franscisco *wink*.

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks for clarifying states. I almost freaked out when i was told debuffs were being nerfed (I slot a lot of my mastermind's powers for it) but now I can rest easy knowing that they'll only be nerfed for about a month or two.

Ok I have been playing for quite a whiel and have made some great friends. I would like to shout out to all of them but that is immpossible as I couldnt remember all the names of the people that have been special to me and my SG as the time has gone on. I will say that the names and SGs that I do name are the ones that are fresh on my mind but in no way does that mean that I dont think the others are ... I just am a forgetful noob. Thanks to everyone and here goes :

All of TWWP for making this game what it is for me ... a big party Thanks

The Sisterhood - GEL and the girls are always nice and respecful to talk to
Paladins - If any of you are left we have your drunk. We will share him but he has to stay
Legion - you guys were always nice and helpful
All the SGs that have coalition ties to TWWP (they are littleens but they know what they are doing)

Cady
Mystique Healer
Crazy Maverick
GEL
Lucyfire
Goddess
Punk
Oni
Monkeybutt
Pickle

There are so many more but like I said I am a forgetful noob ... oh wait I think I typed that already.

<3 Crusher was the first person to invite L'fire to a real live sg when she was just a little toon! Your very sweet yourself!

bless you

Ask 'em here. I don't promise I will answer every one, or give out "spoiler" info, but I will try to make sense of some of the confusion people have about badges (and listen to suggestions on improving them).

[/ QUOTE ]

It would be kind of helpful if where it says unknown...it could maybe give us a hint (I know after you start killing "x" it waill say defeat "x" to "x" but a hint right off the bat would be nice).

[ QUOTE ]
crap hell's frozen over... I got mentioned twice in the nice people thread... I'm slippin'

[/ QUOTE ]

I had to come see what you posted, I KNEW you weren't saying someone was nice!!!! :P

I like Northwynde. He's nice and friendly no matter what side I am playing. (and omg if I spelled that wrong...I plead blonde)

We got derailed by my child's birth and I5 rollout, but a number of us were going to go to the arena to get solid Pet Damage numbers.

I managed to get them for PA and you'll find them in my Phantom Army Guide on the guides section. But for the rest of the pets, we don't really know.

Anyone up to running our trollers to test and trying to get some damage numbers on them?

Just to throw something at the wall, I suggest a meet Wed night at 8 PM EST.

I'll post details here. Anyone else in?

[/ QUOTE ]

i would love to come with my rad but I won't be home til like 9 or 10 est.

Have fun.

[ QUOTE ]
Oh boy you missed a doozy. Ok controllers have been given an innate ability called containment. Once a target is held, immob, disoriented etc, any damage we do the the mob will be doubled. In exchange for this damage boost, all mass holds had their duration cut by half and their recharge time upped by 25% I believe it was. You cannot have multiple pets anymore except for fire imps which are 3 now. They perma until killed or or released using a nifty a nifty little command. Did I miss anything guys?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes that 80% of the trollers loathe States now.

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks for all of your suggestions in the Dev Corner. I've noted them all down for analysis.

There's no immediate deadline for changes Archetype wide, though individual power sets might need attention sooner. I just wanted to say that nothing at the moment is set in stone.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is why I gave you ONE STAR. Bring back the stars...so I can do it again.

Thank you, thank you. I perform every Tuesdays and Thursdays at Caesar's.

Well, the necro raising WAS pertinent to recent changes, right? It's a valid resurrection!

[/ QUOTE ]

Your necro is about as relevant as our input was to States's decisions.

Whats a fashion show without a Princess? Styled in that "oh so casual chic" hero-fit of today's working woman...not only can Princess Monkey (resident of the Liberty Server, and a proud member of HDS) take down the baddies...but she can also go out and party in her hero-fit.

The way to Monkey's heart....her outfits!

[ QUOTE ]
Well, I hope they do NOT nerf you. I'm a mind contrller. A poor schlep mind controller. My first toon. I'm frsutrated as hell, and really in awe at what fire controllers can do. I wish I could do half te damage you do. I just don't want to get there by the devs reducing your damage!!!!!!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Unfortunately, I read the tanker threads and have friends who are tankers so I'm thinking we are gonna get the bat along with illus.

[ QUOTE ]
Most of the suggestions for mind controllers (conspicuously given by ppl that don't have on) amounted to "improve this, but weaken that", which of course, is a net ZERO. I don't know why the world wants us to suck.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't want you to suck, I have played with a few MC, and as far as I am concerned its not a bad thing, just when I team with MC, I adjust my playing differently to go along with theirs, but I adjust to whoever I'm playing with, different friends, different styles. I do not want them to nerf my imps, just make the other types stronger, bring them up to speed. Why nerf when you can improve?
