Patch Notes 28/01/2022

[GamesBond]

Non-publication of research data is an extremely bad practice. Whether it is a survey conducted by a graduate or a public opinion poll, it is common practice to publish the results of the survey. It is often a condition for publishing a survey to know in advance where and when the results will be visible. If respondents took the time to cast their vote, it is fair that the interviewer also publishes the results of the survey.

I've never seen anyone so bad as to need weeks to tabulate the results of a digital survey. It has a number of Yes votes and a number of No votes. Those numbers were presented to the Devs the second the poll closed. Unless you are insinuating they couldn't code a poll. Is that your position? That volunteer team couldn't code a simple poll?

We have already discussed the results a day after the survey closed. We also shared minimal details during our call with the RvR Focus Group so we could listen to their input as RvR leaders. The purpose of the survey was to get a clearer idea of how players look at and experience realm switching on their own. The survey is for us to get a better understanding. If or when will the results be published has not been decided yet by the CM team. Sharing it without a clear approach and plan (like a new lockout test, whether it was increasing or decreasing it) will just create unnecessary month-long arguments.

You should be able to switch sides while no tier 4 campaign is active on a 1 hour cooldown. Once Tier 4 is enabled 3 hours.

Your decision is a continuation of bad practice.

While closing topics on unbalanced population.

Do you mean the thread that had 208 posts? We pushed the survey to support that thread and it was locked after 21 pages of interaction because it was just pure feud at that point and the survey was already out.
Then a second, similar thread, was posted a few weeks after and everything would have been fine if its content was normal. But the excessive random usage of misleading numbers was just annoying and didn't serve anything besides personal agendas.

Nowadays you could rarely notice any locked threads. You could create a thread right now about 'population imbalance' and nobody would mind. But there's a clear unwanted disruptive way of discussing critical topics, and that way is generalizing and providing random fake numbers.

Where is that discussion?

Im going to ask this as well, is this a recorded discussion? Or is this hey we asked the Xrealmers and they said we should continue to allow them to do it?

Proof is while we wait for the discussion's outcome a lot of our NA (EST) order friends have said piss off and left. What used to be a fun back and forth in the evening here on the East Coast of America is now just a one sided free for all unless destro wants a 5 star IC ... the ones organizing warbands have moved on to Lost Ark or whatever game matches more their fancy. That does not matter though, can I ask how many NA (EST) primetime players were in this discussion?

Going by the rest of GamesBond's post, I'm pretty sure he meant that the results have been discussed internally, especially when following up to say that a limited amount of information was shared with focus groups.

Data needed to support a meaningful discussion seems to be a real hot button issue around here.

At this point I have no hopes of population for my timezone to allow for frequent SCs or RvR that is not PvDoor. Oceana 300~ used to be bad enough, not it is hanging around 200~ and I doubt it will even manage to stay at 200~ at this point.

Currency merge was good but too little, waaaaaaay too late (should have come same time with cities, everyone **** hates cities yet are forced to do them). And now current xrealm thing just defies logic, it is the pretense that xrealmers dont have multiple accounts that makes it stupid.
