The developers are bringing new content in now at a nice and steady rate it seems and have been fixing bugs and exploits as they appear. You can tell by the stuff getting done that they do work hard at their jobs and it has to be tough listening to thousands of peoples complaints a day. I am not going to say things are perfect. I have one problem that I cannot let go, and thats the Correspondants, look how many of these people have quit because the jobs they were given on the forums quickly had no meaning. I know that each dev deals with hundreds to thousands of emails a day but it would seem like these correspondants would get some priority.
I think the game is really going in the right direction, things are so much better than they were even a month ago. I will admit that my profession not working right, or at least being a bit on the odd side of how it works if this is working as intended, brought this post out. I have played since launch and know that things are defitnaly going better and look really promising in the next couple months, however I want to stress something before Mounts/Player Cities get into live. Please devs read over the correspondants complaints. Some of the professions lack numbers and thus are harder to catch posts are complain about them. I know that in my particular profession we have had 1 dev answer to problems sent in. They are busy I know, they are doing their jobs and it can't be easy to track down every problem.
Droid Engineers need a stronger purpose and some love. Chefs defitnaly need fixes. Melee although getting attention on awhole it still seems like TKA is getting all the indvidual bonuses. NO DO NOT NERF THEM. nerfing doesn't solve anything for a weaker profession. I am a pikeman, the top issues I have noticed are as follows:
Accuracy: -55 and -32 on our best 2 weapons, I think itd be easier to hit a person with a stick than shoot them, especially up close.
Range: Vibroknucklers are supposed to be 5m now, thats fine, but why is a big stick only 4m?
HAM Costs: hello making me kill myself and have med skills if I want to survive at all, i get a delay healing myself too, dunno if thats as intended or not though.
Pikemen are not the only ones with these problems, just happens to be my profession. I know that the devs have already stated they want better communication with correspondents and such but I want to see it. Here is an idea.
Once a month, get a live chat with devs and correspondants just to get some issues answered . I know that the emails are supposed to list the top 10 issues of a profession but I do not see much of a response in most of the professions, especially lower populated ones.
To conclude, I hope at least one dev will respond to this or at least read it. I think you guys are doing a tough job well but just need some work on communication with the correspondents. Alot of the smaller populated professions are like that for a reason.
Thanks for your time,
