Cancelled

[Bitss]

That's what dreams are made of?

*Or Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out.. that'd get better results for yer blood-pressure.

**Definitely keep speaking out though

Expectations. Set them accordingly and the world takes on a much brighter shade. Sorry you have reached the end of your rope enjoy your next endeavor.

 

[Kyrr]

It's the same sickness - both carried to their logical conclusion. Funneh? you didn't comment on the rest of the post.

Because the rest of the post isn't my concern. My concern is bringing up politics, regardless of side, into a conversation related to a game about dungeons and dragons.

 

[Bitss]

yeah, focus or lack thereof tends to be my problem too. It was a side comment. (snark deleted)

Some people troll, some people speak their mind and move on. Feel free to ignore me.

 

[Bitss]

But on Cordo’s stream he said they fixed the biggest gripe we had by adding fallen weapons to the side chests!

Cordo should run for congress for how well he lies with a straight face.

He's just PR. Go easy on Cordo for collecting a paycheck while covering... he is just PR & Marketing (OH! And Forum Moderator/PermaBanner). He's always so upbeat about it, unless he's momentarily paying attention to a comment in a live stream - good times!

So amazing to see these new, unheard accounts defending their baby. I am sure that huge check is in the mail.

Or may I introduce you to Stockholm syndrome. Because creating new accounts to defend this is super cringe.

If Cormyr was in response to lag, it would have been introduced LONG BEFORE giving it to LoTRO - unless LoTRO was actually the test rat. Evidence suggests otherwise.

re: Felsytn, It's funny (not) that Saltmarsh is stubborn. That just tells me they're not keeping coders because Saltmarsh is "new.". But yes, BIG shout out to USERS/PLAYERS telling us what's going on. Assuming they're a player as one never knows anymore on these interwebs, even one as regulated as this.

All I care to hear about Cormyr is when I can transfer anything to it. I'm not spending time or points or USD to build again.

LoTRO came after DDO which means they had more experience when designing the game thereby having cleaner code (relatively speaking). IMO they would start with the easier upgrade before tackling the "spaghetti code" of DDO (still looking for the cite from the old forums ~ after Lynnabel started; I know it was in reference to why the Stone of Change was difficult to make easier for use).
As to tarnsfers to Cormyr, Codovan said it may be opened up in the future but that would be after the other 64-bit servers are up and running so you can transfer to those first instead of waiting for Cormyr to eventually open up.
If you are VIP I would at least claim the first-time login bonuses if you have any for new servers.

I didn't think I needed to say this: I KNOW LOTRO CAME AFTER DDO

IMO LoTRO should have "spaghetto code" too since THEY CANNOT KEEP TALENT. If you think LoTRO is spag-free: buh-bye!

We have seen how they cannot keep talent, for whatever reason. and Cordovan is Public Relations/PermaBanner. :X

I have been in many situations where I follow what's been done vs reinventing the Wheel. The Wheel is usually not as broken as the things that follow. Stop blaming 20 year old code that has been changed/added to EXPONENTIALLY by SSG (who cannot reatain talent.)

 

[GrizzlyOso]

You do realize that you do not have to collect everything in the game!

Or anything ! Since none of it works without the rest of it, why gear at all?

Oh right , gearing is half? The point of any rpg?

 

[Cheeps]

Where are the drop rates fixes and the broken gear augment fixes from the newest xpack paying customers paid for

Instead another playstyle was ruined for levelling and did nothing for lag

"When in doubt, nerf about." -dev proverb.

 

[Alternative]

You do realize that you do not have to collect everything in the game!

Then why the hell buy an xpac if im supposed to use sharn gear forever?

They're not new unheard of accounts, you simply didn't pay attention to them. This rhetoric you're spouting is not grounded in reality.

You can disagree with them (I know I do) but do you gotta be such a sillymoose.

 

[Driaza]

Lag is bad at the moment but i am a forever player

I might take some breaks but i always come back at some point

"End game" is still years away (if it ever happens) so i dont get too caught up in the loot farming

Whats the point in beating yourself to death farming impossible gear for lvl 34 when you need to do it again at 36,38 and then "finally" at 40

Im still very much on the TR train and enjoying heroic/ epic/ iconic / racial / archtype TRs and gaining some Reaper points along the way so i guess that helps avoinding MD

I have nice enough gear for when i am 34 on my 6 toons so wont kill myself farming MD

 

[Drunken.dx]

I was spending on utimate packs for destiny points but def not now cuz i can't spend those on anything useful

so you ARE spending on "uninstall levels of awful" game...

Why are you spending game you consider awful?

Or play it even?

 

[Jeronimo]

Yes, there are a million threads about cancelling.

I am leaving:
1. MD loot and mechanisms
2. lag (which i dont really have but its ridiculous it is an issue for others)
3. new server/hardware shows total developer/test fail. what am i paying for if the devs are unable to clear up years long issues?
4. disconnect between (developers) and player base
5. continuous list of attempts to remedy lag that have resulted in significant decrease in capability or failed in compromise for the attempt
6. endless efforts to drain BIG money from players
7. TR cache/banking/bank space ($$$$ and its never enough. i should never need several alts just for banks..........)
8. lack of understanding on developers part that hey! maybe not everything has to be created equal! are all having fun? then just accept there will always be imbalance and stop massive game wide nerfs to address edge cases.

Back to city of heroes, this was a giant waste of 2 years.

Sorry to see you go... hope that you'll enjoy City of Heroes!

And still, not one heartfelt apology in the form of a professional letter from SSG.

They are immune to market oriented dynamics such as yours because they've done the math and the base subscribers have Stockholm Syndrome and they will stay. They know the minimum amount of revenue they need to survive and everything they do is based upon this "GBI" (guaranteed basic income).

None of us matter, thus no apology needed. The GBI players will stay no matter what.

No i was spending before it became uninstall levels of awful this year

I don't know anyone willing to give them money now they burned all the bridges they can

At least anecdotally, most players I know SAY they cancelled and aren’t spending money.

And then a loot weekend hit and I saw multiple people buy points for rerolls. It is what it is. They will do what they want with their money.

My point is that the doom that we feel is not felt by SSG because they can pull some levers and immediately draw more income.

If they wanted to right now they could release +9 tomes and they would get a huge influx of cash over the next few months.

 

[DBZ]

Man 9 tomes might get me stockhold syndrome is a hard habit to break

And insightful 6 stat augments those would be good too

If they'd sell us the power back like they should have with new Epic Destinies and working strikes i'd pay money for that

This might get whales to spend again but t certainly will have no impact on the numerous casual people they lost from the repeater nerf, some are gone never to come back and others hard swear to not give money back for the fun that was stripped from the only playstyle that they enjoyed. Of course there are others like me who will find other ways to have fun in the game, but even I a person who loved cosmetics and bought coffers ill not be spending another penny because of the repeater nerf. Will play for fun until the game dies or a better game comes along.
