Oubliette

not a bad idea. I just need to find the time to call them.

I did look. nothing. Just some new vet badges.

That's kinda awesome too Arbiter. A real "neolithic-impressionist" way to look at it. Ha

Yes. But I'm still waiting. Persistent or stubborn, however you want to look at it.

Quite right, I mis-spoke.

I am not your "enemy" nor do I feel slighted.
I hope this puts your concerns to bed.

Well, yes. If only.

Mainly his complaints were absurd because 1) The maps were/are not missing in extensive testing by several people including myself 2) If a mini-map is NOT available, it is by design. I know some maps are that way by design. I believe the INTERIOR of the prison outbreak is like that, but really how much of a map do you need for the 50 feet or so of prison?

In short, after 45 ratings, nobody has ever mentioned a missing mission map OR prisoners not following. I suspect he's just having issues with the game on his end and then flipped his wig. In the end, I found the fury of his complaints to be very very funny. I suppose humor is subjective and not shared by anyone else here. Fair enough.

I "summon bigger fish".

If this is the case, if it's smart, I'll be retooling my missions for sure.

Not a problem in the least.

Quite right. As for speculation, I feel the only good speculation that can be done at this time is:
1) The Development Team is busy hammering out bugs and are too busy to worry about this (this may be very sticky territory to state)
2) The Development Team is prepping for PAX East.
3) <more of a fact> The Development Team is attending GDC in SanFran to some degree

I don't subscribe to the "They can do whatever they want so stop mentioning their promises" mentality (not that you said that Peerless but others did). I also don't feel they've broken any promises as of yet. The HeroCon presentation was presented as fact and thus far, they've not broken any concrete promises as far as I can tell.

Not that anyone reads this when I type it, but again, the post wasn't about demanding entry into anything, is was about soliciting clarification *one way or the other* I don't care which. I repeat myself occasionally but I know there's no point in trying to keep this train on the rails. It's like making a campfire to boil water and all everyone else (with exception) wants to do is light torches and run around the forest setting things alight. Very annoying but that's the internet and especially forums.

Cheers

Never said I was upset, now did I? On the contrary, it was an amusing diversion of nonsensical complaints. Additionally, I feel you may not fully grasp the concept of critique. Generally a critique is from a peer, someone with knowledge of the medium and how it works. Often helpful suggestions that might assist toward possible improvement.

Here, I'll give you an example, using your original post in this thread.

Critique:
"Perhaps in the future, Bionic Flea, when aiming to incite hostile conversation in a passive aggressive manner, do not start the statement with a declaration of your lack of mental cohesion. Other than that, I feel you followed through well and you certainly seem committed to the task of flaming the thread, an attempt at light humor. Good luck with your endeavors.

Complaint: Your opening was weak, and I don't like that your avatar badge had blue in it, don't quit your day job.

See the difference there Bionic Flea? Good day.


In regards to your question Smurphy: I felt the original post spoke for itself but for you, I shall afford some clarification because we're close friends. The "awesomeness" lies in it's similarity to one of my favorite websites: http://clientsfromhell.tumblr.com/ which is a blog dedicated to the irrational complaints of many many clients. I've had experiences like this in the past and when the above comment about my work popped up, it stood head and shoulders above the rest of the comments, and while not all comments were glowing praise, nobody said anything so irrational.

I thought it was confusing myself.

If only I'd have included a map for that building! What was I thinking!?

I had to share this one as it stands alone, a monolith of awesomeness.

I believe a screenshot would have been over the line (and not what I want to see here). I believe it's not a secret that demon summoning is in test, I recall reading it myself recently from a redname. I could be wrong, my memory isn't what it once was.

And it's pretty clear you pop in this thread when you want to bicker... Just saying.

"Waves will continue up to launch."

I believe Diggis is correct.

Closed beta may, at the moment, not be open to people mentioned on the list there, but this thread has only ever been about clarification (a the risk of being redundant).

I ask for hard facts, and what I'm getting is mainly insulting diatribes on what I should or should not expect. Uncalled for.
