Maybe it's cause they've been so hard at work putting out all these mini publishes that are making the game MUCH better if you've been paying attention. Suchs as creatures and NPCS using specials again to amke them harder, npcs being able to switch weapons, combat medics being balanced out by doctors, buffs for poisen resists and Turrets with three times the Hit points.
I donnow bout some of youpeople but I'd rather have them working on making the game functional then putting together a really good friday feature =P
(If you give me one star for this, I'll just consider it a compliment that you don't like me =P )
I too would rather have fixes to the game done as well.............
But some JTL info would have been nice

Hmm...FF...i was a bit disappointed myself....surely it's helpful for the noobs and i commend them for wanting to encompass all players. This game is really good about getting your new players immersed adn quickly learning the game /applaud.
i think a better feature would be to reveal the stuff about shipwright. Its been said the path i new and has never been used b4 *contrary to what most say about Eng 4 / Master Art * I'd like to see some info about the profession and its prerequisites. They're just sooooo elusive

HEAR HEAR!!! I completely agree. The devs are not robots who work 23 hours a day. Most of them only do the straight 8 hours like all of us working stiffs do. And there's only so much you can do in an 8 hour period. I mean, seriously. They couldn't even give us these mini publishes and just leave it as is and cocentrate all their efforts of JTLS. We shouldn't RELY on the devs to spoon feed us content. If you want content, and there's none to be had at the moment, seems like you have two choices:
1. Make your OWN content by doing something different. Go and do a random NPC quest and actually READ what they are saying.And do it on foot too, hoping that nothing or nobody attacks you on your way. And if you have o deliver someone to the person unharmed, then actually physically walk ther ass back to the quest NPC, protecting them from the dangers of the wild.
-OR-
2. Quit. Take your ball, ad go home. Uninstall the game, cancel your subscription and whine like a little tittie-baby to your momma that the big bad devs won't give you any content in your game. Then go play a rousing game of minesweeper, or God forbid do something outside of your computer chair.
The devs don't even HAVE to give us a Friday Feature. They could actually keep us all in the dark about the goings on behind the scenes. But they don't. They want to include us as a tight knit family unit who's somewhat in the know about the things happening in this game. But some people just don't see it like that.

These friday features totally suck, no one cares about badges on bria or stat migrations, people want to see more JtL info. We are all being punished for speaking out against the devs, thats what these retarded FFs are, punishment.

even people who played on bria didnt want our statistics for a FF.
How hard would it have been to release some JTLpics at least?
next week's FF better make up for the last 2

um... so let me straighten this out... don't rely on the devs to do what WE are paying for them to do... cause they're busy people... so cut them a break... instead, WE should make our own content... so, we pay 15 bucks a month to go make our own content?
"Here little timmy... give mefifteen dollars... ok, now, go take this stick and pretend like its a toy gun... that's right, run along and use your imagination to entertain yourself. Have fun!"

I was responding to how rediculous the term "go make your own content" was... if it's an NPC quest, then you didn't make that content, now did you? I'd have to say the devs made that content... tell people to stop asking the devs for content and go and make your own is absurd.
Not to mention all of the "quests" are the same, only they all have a different "story" to them that means nothing. If the story had any point it might help... I was absolutely in love with this game at launch, and the months after... but it sure has gotten stale and repetitive.
bah... forget everything... just frustrated with where this game is going. I only hope I can enjoy it until JTL is released... and hopefulyl JTL doesn't blow.

I understand frustration. However, people can't keep bringing up that they pay 15 bucks amonth for this. That's a completely asinine response. If you can't have fun with the 15 bucks a month on what is out curently, maybe you should go invest your money somewhere else. This is the route that most impatient people have taken.
You have straightened out my statement on "making your own content". Thank you. I shall henceforth change it to "play with the content that the devs have currently given usand shut up."
BTW, Ariade. Though you flamed my post, this is in NO WAY directed primarily at you, but to all of those who think that the devs are a bunch of slackers who don't do their freaking jobs. They do, in fact, do their jobs quite well, or else we wouldn't be playing the game we have right now, which is leaps and bounds from where we were at launch.
Perhaps JTL will bring us to a higher plane of gaming. Perhaps it will be completely bug ridden and unplayablefor the first week. Lots ofexpansions are like that initially.
Point of all this is thus:
If you can design it better, then give it a swing, slugger. But, if you can't, then either shut up and play, or getout of here.
