I would go as far as say that one-star bandits are killing the MA. It is a huge way to discourage creative players to keep producing quality arcs. I hope something is going to be done...soon.

[/ QUOTE ] Or it is a huge way to encourage people to write better arcs. Criticism is funny like that.

[ QUOTE ]
I think that you should not be able to rate an arc 1 or 2 stars without leaving a comment. It is way too easy to kill somebody's hard work with an anonymous 1 or 2 star rating, especially if it is one of the first couple of ratings the story gets.

If you think the story is 1 or 2 stars, then fine, rate it that way, but the system should force you into at least leaving a comment, that way the author knows why the story is only a 1 or 2 star. I believe if you leave honest, helpful comments to a bad story, 99% of the player base will take it to heart and not do some petty retaliating.

I do like the 1-5 rating system, but I really hate the anonomous aspect of it when it comes to getting a 1 star rating. The author is left wondering why, and again, if it is one of the first few ratings a story gets, it may never be played again. If we help out the author's of some of the bad story's, we might all get better and better storys to play.

[/ QUOTE ] WRONG. Consumers, in this case the people playing the arcs, don't owe the content creators(people creating the arcs) ANYTHING. As a content creator it is your job to get me to use your content and enjoy it. If the consumer doesn't like it, then he/she doesn't have to explain him/herself.

<QR>

First, sometimes it only takes two minutes for me to decide a mission or arc sucks. First impressions are extremely important. Therefore a quick one star rating does not always equal griefing. Second, if I play the mission/arc enough to decide it sucks and give it a one or two star rating, I don't owe you an explanation. If I'm willing to give an arc that kind of rating, that means I want to get away from it ASAP. I don't owe the author a damn thing.

OP: If you're suspicious because somebody gave a one star rating a didn't comment, maybe you need to get over yourself. Are you really that surprised that one person didn't like it?

I have never heard anyone call a Fake Nemesis an easy kill either.



[/ QUOTE ]

Fake Nemesis' are easy kills.

There now you cant say that anymore. But seriously, they are not hard kills, there just a boss.

[/ QUOTE ] Fake Nemesis and their damn PFF are more annoying than anything.

[ QUOTE ]
On a related note, the rules also indicate no parody missions whatsoever, so I don't think the GMs are going to have a sense of humor at all.


[/ QUOTE ] Wow, I think you misunderstood the intentions of that rule. I mean really really got it wrong.

[ QUOTE ]
But really in the end it doesn't matter because it comes down to the fact that you're afraid to put your name on something you wrote and sent to someone else. And that's just sad.

[/ QUOTE ] No it's not. If I want to be anonymous, that should be an option. If I want to have a conversation with somebody that should also be an option.

I suggest adding an option in the rating screen to make it anonymous or not.

I understand why you said that, that's why I was surprised. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the first mod to that(but I have no way of knowing that).

Actually, I once got a PM from Mod08 when all I said was /signed. He just asked me to add a little more to it and then quoted part of the forum rules.

edit: He said this to me:

Munki,

Just a quick reminder, using /signed in a post is a direct violation of Message Board Rules and Guidelines. It's one people miss a lot so no big deal, but I thought I'd let you know.

[ QUOTE ]
# Bumping posts in order to keep them near the top of the list is also prohibited. Likewise, the use of "/signed" posts are discouraged in that it doesn’t engender constructive discussion.

[/ QUOTE ]

In the future just toss in a couple of sentences of explanation of why you agree with the OP. Here is my example.

Thanks,
-Mod08-

To be honest, I was surprised to get that PM, but at least he's fair.

Cheers back at ya!! Good choice on the beer!

Unfortunately "just deal with it" is the only real option. All of my characters are on Freedom, and that's what I do. Just the price to pay to play on the busiest server.

Freedom isn't ready yet, probably be an hour or two.

[ QUOTE ]
Jeez, if people are so addicted that they can't handle a few hours without it, maybe a little time off will do them some good.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree. People need to relax. Hell, I took off work tonight and the probable $100 I would make, and I'm not freaking out that I can't play my favorite characters. Although I am bored, and I don't have any beer...

[ QUOTE ]
(1) Refrain from using OTHER MMOs as a source of reference.

[/ QUOTE ] Actually using other successful MMOs as a source of reference is perfectly fine. I don't believe it should be somebody's core argument, because each game is different. But looking at the competition(especially the more successful ones) and what they do is a good idea.

I don't care if it's obvious or not. I have worked in IT for 15 years. If I treated my client base in this fashion (leaving them in the dark) I would not have a job for very long. The scheduled down time was from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM CST. They communicated nothing until 30-45 minuites ago. Just letting us know directly what's going on so that we as players can level set our expections, I would think should be assumed and provided in a timely manner.

[/ QUOTE ]

The scheduled downtime is an estimate as it always has been, therefore there is no need to notify you as you've already been notified. You have no argument here.

[/ QUOTE ] Sure he does. The customer always has an argument. Besides, if he really didn't have an argument, then Ex wouldn't have given us the update.

Don't use AIM. Everything that has to do with AOL sucks. AOL is a [censored] company. Use one of these instead.

[ QUOTE ]
you guys whine too much

[/ QUOTE ] Nobody had whined in this thread before you posted that.

Lol, probably not.

[ QUOTE ]
It would do a bit to ease the gulf between the haves and the have nots

[/ QUOTE ] How would that be fair to the people that put in all the time to get all the purples? /unsigned

I agree with Aett_Thorn 100%. Allow there to be filters on the current email system and the new feature and I'm all for it.

/unsigned, I like Burn as-is.

/signed. I would love a feature like this.

[ QUOTE ]

Anyone remember Lighthouse's final post?

[/ QUOTE ] No, what was so bad about it?

I would like to see poses with a character's weapon. Kinda like the this. The first two is what I would really like.

/signed.

I've never participated, and probably never will because I don't like playing tankers. But this is a long running event that outshines all the others.

I actually thought my Warshade was easy mode after level 32, and god mode after level 39.
