Hi everyone,
For:

I just wanted to let you know that we're aware that MoM is not currently counting for Dimensional Warder, and we're working on a fix. We will let you know more when the fix is implemented.| Talk of Dimensional Warder and Mother Mayhem. No one knows if the MoM MM counts for it or not. The zone invasion one did not count. |
However, the Praetorian Invasion version of Mother Mayhem will not qualify for this badge.

Yeah, highly possible, and needs a revamp. But most of the hazard zones are pretty much ghost towns at this point. |

It's been like that since I started in Issue 3, back in February 2005.

Either way, I think Dark Astoria was the right choice for the revamp, from all the stuff in beta it's looking pretty wicked and definitely something I'm looking forward to going live
*still chuckling*
Thank you, Von Krieger!
Thanks VK as always.
Need Staff fighting not in beta but live!

You're assuming that's the only feedback they're getting. Or even the majority of it. Forums are inherently skewed toward the negative. If they were an accurate representation of player attitude, this game wouldn't have made it to the one year mark.

I agree. Dark Astoria has a lot more story hooks to play with. So it's the obvious choice. Boomtown... it's just sort of there. The best idea I can think of is making it being rebuilt, that or the 5th Column building a giant skull fortress there.|

And having it duel a big Longboy sky carrier. >_>

I'm getting the impression that they are happier getting complaints about their content these days than getting compliments about it. |
They're putting things like the Elemental costume parts under the "Collections" tab. They're also making the tab viewable by other people under your information, just like badges. So now, other players will be able to see what costume parts you have, and what ones you're missing.
That's right, they've expanded it to selling badges. Oh, sure, they're called "Collections" instead of "Badges", but that's a distinction worthy of Jack's ED comments.
They've realized that they can get more than just the hardcore costumers to buy them even though they hate them. They're going after the hardcore badgers, too. Isn't it wonderful?

No alternate means at launch, you mean. Which is exactly what they said during the first wave of feedback after the last Player Summit.

I've stopped caring about the bruhahha about the super packs.
either they will sell or they will be a colossal failure. I think they've been debated to death already.

well, to filter in, overall a cute ustream damaged by the distressing news about the superpacks. I am holding out hope for the "at launch" qualifier as meaning they eventually will sell them. As it stands, I will not purchase or redeem any vet tokens for them. I, if, in the future, i can get the costume parts in a manner that does not involve luck, then i will purchase them, and might even by a pack or two as a good will offering, but There is only one way to make a point, and that is to be consistent. and only one type of vote really counts.

What Praetorian Invasion version?

They have yet to prove that they do care about feedback. All I see is towing the party line and no changes, despite getting smacked in their heads with datamines showing what players gave feedback on months before.
