Wow. And people wonder why the devs are so closed mouthed about things. Once you open a can of worms... Sorry to the devs who try to communicate works in progress to players.


Well, what can you do?

Is it just me or were we supposed to get the next 19 answers last Thursday? Not to be picky or anything but I'd like an update on when we might possibly see them.

Wow, scheduled communication with customers that's getting delayed....imagine that. Is this going to turn into the "Producer Letter"cycle that i've seen from SOE since the beginning of EQ?


step 1: bad communication

step 2: loud customers

step 3: Producer- "we're bad. i promise to write you Producer letter every week."

step 4:1-2months of semi regular communication from the producer

step 5: 1 or 2 more straggler letters over the next couple months

step 6: no letters


rinse and repeat.

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. - Hermann Goering

I hope with all the upcoming nerfs that they are planning to nerf the mobs too.




Eh, maybe, maybe not. They did a creature rebalancing a long time ago, but they might want the creatures to be more difficult to us.


It was never intended for a single player to be able to solo a lair full of Rancors (or nightsisters or any of teh high end content in the game)


The tougher mobs are supposed to be challenging and are supposed to encourage group play. I notice the trend is leaning towards solo play, but this is a massively multiplayer online game.






Some of my pet peeve bugs:
•Armorsmith protection layers were not converted with the CU.
•Ship Details window does not close when you click "Travel" resulting in the message "You have lost the target. Closing interface."

/agree


I understand being overloaded with tasks. Then you get to prioritize. The problem we see is that the communication on the boards seems to get axe first and regularly.We had hoped that something like the 19 questions or the previous top 5 issues, or whatever we had before that would be number 1 on the list of priorities for the community rep.


Kreyvex is right. It's a lot like EQ all over again.
