Creature Handler Archive

Hello and greetings to my CH friends, both of you.

I just want to tell you that guys, I am tired. We have fought, we have flamed, we have banged heads, we have shaken our fists. We are broken and after nine months of rants, raves, pleas and begging we feel we are no closer to a solution than we were 9 months ago.

I am tired of it all. I want a truce. I think we need some peace. I don't know what rabbit or dragon will come out of the pocket of the developers. I don't know the time table. I wish they would do the combat revamp and GCW before JTL because I believe that it is essential to this game becoming better.

My head is bloody from banging it against the brick walls, my hands are broken from trying to break down doors. I want some peace, I would like to see some red names here to explain or at least be visible.

I would like us to put our blasters, flamethrowers, etc. back into their holsters (you can keep your hands on them) and just wait. Aarh can't spell the name did an awesome job of documenting what was said by TH. I want to give him and the correspondents one last chance to get it right.

I am offering peace to this forum. Maybe a truce is a better word. Peace can only come after a truce has been agreed upon.

So let me suggest that we have a truce. We give them their week to get the docs out. Then Vert, I would like you to post a point by point debate on each thing. One a day.

The development team has this opportunity to earn our respect and trust. I believe if they screw this up then I believe there should be no peace.

If it is possible, Tyrant, would you acknowledge some of our design for Corrals, Mounts. If we take this one step towards a truce will you the Devs, take a step towards us in being here to help quiet our fears? To let us know that you hear us, not just through Vert, but by coming and saying yes. We hear you. We think this is a great idea. or It is a great idea but it is not doable. or It is a good idea but it takes a ton of coding, we want to do it but can you wait until the new year. We just want to know you are there.

It takes two to fight. It also takes two to make peace. I hope I am man enough to make peace, are you willing to be man enough to help make the peace as well?

....and then no matter how hard we get nerfed, we still keep CH because we are still some of the coolest characters on the game.

I miss you too Pluto.

Be well my friend. I don't even know if I speak for many or any of my CH brothers, I am just tired of the endless fighting. I really want to see the Corral go ahead and I don't think that will happen if we can't some how get some constructive dialogue started.

I know you are man enough Pluto to give them a chance. Thanks bro.

/agree

i for one am coming out of the bunker (one hand up, the other on the DX2 and my Crim razor cat and kliknik hunter behind me)........i am willing to listen and talk in the hopes the we can pervent anymore bloodshed but i can't speek for all 200 or so other CH's behind me and there pets still in the bunker.

and as far as that nasty incident with the correspondents..........i feel that we just wanted to hear what they said from Vert first..... too many times when stuff comes from anyone else it feels like we are getting set up and old reflexes die hard. sorry to bite your heads off but after as long as we have waited its a bit hard to be told hang on a bit longer. (my hands are tried as is)

again i am sorry about what happen to the Blue names on are board and i agree with Sky its time we listen and let them speak and see if they really mean it this time cause if it doesn't i know the bombs will start falling again and none of us really truely want that.

.........................the table is set...........plz come back.......we will hold back the enrage pets just bemind full of the rancor (we feed him a CSR last week and now he has a taste for SOE personnel.) we want to talk this time level headed. but i think alot of us need to get that off of are collective chest plz understand.

/humbly bow

I am humbled. I just want what is best for CH. I want Pluto to come back and dream and finish the corral plan.

Mostly I just want us to feel like we count. I believe in CH. I believe in my fellow CH's. We are the very best of the best.

I believe that people who take time to own pets have a strong passion.

i did not come out of a dev's pocket ....

as for the rest of the post, nice work ...

i've not seen eye to eye with pluto on very many things... i'm waiting to see what the devs do come out with... but for my own nickle, yes CH is gimped compared to what it once was... but its still a powerful support profession teamed with an elite combat prof... i usually try not to get into the flame fests... it accomplishes nothing really... but a nice debate is always good...

i think what most CH want to see is some kind of accoknowledgement from one of the higher ups... yes we are still in the game...

Wabit

I can just see a "Wait for the Combat Revamp" and "Wait for the Smuggler Revamp" quote all rolled into one.
"Wait for the Smuggbat Revamp"
Smuggbat, I like that

I'll wait a week for some feedback. But my opinion remains. Documents and feedback don't mean JACK until it's implimented. I am not a very forgiving person...

Aak,

In some respects neither am I probably.

I want to hope that is all.

I want to hope that they are going to fix the small damage our pets do in PVP.

I want to hope that they are fixing our pathing problems.

I want to hope that the combat distance adjustment (running) is being fixed.

I want to hope that the auto store bug has been resolved.

I want to hope that they read our corral idea and it is getting a serious look. At the least more data storage.

Weall have been frustrated, angry, embittered for months. I know that it seems everything we ask for, every publish that comes out seems to just keep taking away more and more and more. But I also know that, well we have accomplished very little by being "raging bulls". Maybe we should take the sage advice of a former president "walk softly and carry a big stick"

Maybe we should invite the new CH's to email us privately and we will help them with their questions and just let the forum sit in silence for a day or two.

We have been asked to wait. I have been told by some of the Corrs that Vert did a heck of a job in Austin and that right now all devdom is watching us. Maybe we should just stop for a day, collect our thots, and then promote the Corral Idea and the new Mounts we like.

When we feel like flaming someone, how about we right it all done on our word processor and hit save. And if this Revamp turns into another nerf for CH, like most of us instantly fear, then I guess the gloves can come off. But right now we don't know.

I know we wish Vert could do more, say more and probably if you look at it, he is one of the Corrs sticking the closest the DNA. LoL we would have to get a Corr. with integrity wouldn't we.

All I know right now is that our flames haven't helped, being nice so far, doesn't appear to have helped, and being constructive, hasn't done much either. So what have we got to lose by being silent and just waiting this out for another week?

I don't know if TH will show up, I hope a red name does, I am not holding my breath too long, but if they answer us in the docs with truth, facts and implementation and if it is as good as we are led to believe, then I think we can assume that at some point they either listened to Vert or us and that guys and gals will be a huge plus for us.

Let's just hang in there till we see the proposal. And then let's be constructive about it. Truth is the proof will be in the sand box and the hope is they won't gag the people who go there.

....and then no matter how hard we get nerfed, we still keep CH because we are still some of the coolest characters on the game.

I don't know how to reply to this...on the one hand I say it's great, let's get them back in here and communicating again. On the other hand, yes, our board is a flame fest, but it wasn't when they stopped coming by. The flames started when they stopped posting. I just want information on what's going on. They persist in gagging our one source, Vert, and not allowing any information out. That's all we want.

TsiyaAma,

I completely understand.

/huge sigh

It is definetly harder to stay calm when pushed to the brink, or over. I have flamed my share fair of Devs, but the other day I had to ask myself, "so what has it accomplished?" At the moment I don't have an answer. All I know is that somewhere there has to be some middle ground between boot licking and Fighting. That is the ground I want to find.

Can you help me?

"Creature Handlers are not 1% of the population, they are over the 50% mark, the 1% excuse is a flat out lie"

I don't think it's about finding that middle ground, Sky. More about doing what is needed to achieve something. Fighting or bootlicking...
