Would the devs mind writing a short balance plan?

[Dabbart]

Why do we, the lackadaisical playerbase, require to know what is going to be worked on? We have patchnotes, where everything is spelled out in plenty of detail, with a convenient thread created for Q&A about the changes/updates... And long, long ago we learned the error of trying to announce anything Coming Soon!

Tactical Architect... I don't even...

Just be glad the game is running and receiving updates. 99/100 whatever issue or question a particular player has, it's already been answered on the forums. What we NEED is a search function that actively kicks you if you create a multiple thread.

Lastly... "Take it from someone who suffers constant stricture at your own hands"... I shudder to think how you deal with actual RL problems brother... Jesus, how can humans survive with such thin skin....

In my real life i don't have to feign respect for others and self moderate my language and suppress my rage as much as i do here.

In my real life i simply drop stuff/people that i feel are not worth bothering with, you know, like we all (more or less) usually do.

In my real life i also make little effort to explain to people where they are going wrong as it regards anything to do with me because it's VERY funny to stand back and say nothing until they are so deep into their mistake that they can't back out of it and then crush them (publically) with correction/truth/evidence, it teaches common sense, it's great, sadly it doesn't really work over the internet.



This conversation is over, or whatever...

You should recruit someone to build and maintain a really tuned-in longterm overview plan, someone to provide constant regular reviews of your plans and provide a wide variety of theoretical options and fallbacks, you need a tactical architect who scrutinises every detail!

And it needs to be someone who isn't precious about anything, this server is a minefield of contention.

That sure helps the people doing the fixing & building in my experience.

'Game Planner'

And i mean someone fanatically OCD who will triplecheck every last detail... DAILY.


addendum: This viewtopic.php?f=8&t=20631&p=227205#p227205 is deeply troubling and it explains A LOT about certain changes, Azarael's motives are-were somewhat... you folks need someone who will take this game AS IT IS and simply improve the quality of the content whilst including ALL worthwhile ambitions REGARDLESS of their source.

Take it from someone who suffers constant stricture at your own hands, it's always best to give up on personal desires and just do what is best for everyone because THAT is always the best way to get what you really want, being forced into the corner you should be backing into anyway is a GREAT way to learn what you should be doing, limitation breeds innovation!

On topic, we are still awaiting the Dev Blog on SCs. Honestly, guys we just need to be patient. A lot GMs/Devs/Leadership is either busy IRL, moved on, or taking an extended break. Personally, I think some of it has to do with the endless hounding by players over the most asinine crap... Search the forums. These questions have already been addressed.

[wargrimnir]

I mean, a Dev Blog on scenarios wouldn't have much to it. We're not working on anything in particular to do with them.

No, there's not a newsletter. There was a sneaky black /s under there.

Sorry, Dev Blog is the wrong term to use. I meant in relation to this: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=20563

And based on the wiki past blogs: https://wiki.returnofreckoning.com/inde ... =Dev_Diary

What I'm trying to say is that you guys have in the past provided info, and that currently are offering it. Maybe I should of been more clear. The information most players seem to want, in regards to what your peoples plans are, thoughts, direction, reasoning, etc has pretty much already been spelled out. The patch notes give the players a direct area to discuss particular changes/issues, and spells out quite completely what has been done, fixed, and the reasoning for particulars. It just takes a little effort to go search for it...

I think this is hard to do. While it would be "ideal" right now I dont think there ARE long term plans aside from "wack-a-mole" issues currently + getting client control. Once that happens it opens up a LOT more possibilities.

I also dont mean that in any negative way at all. It makes sense. They are rebuilding a game that once was... The "LONG TERM" may not be feasible... So right now its a "wait and see" approach.

Will they address class balance on say, AM, WL, Shaman, WP? Etc. Sure they will.... In "2 Weeks". But right now there is noone "heading" this charge... And I dont blame them.

The ROR population is VICIOUS and unforgiving and really not humble about having this alpha server to begin with. You should be on late NA times and see the flack the players give the DEVs... its RIDICULOUS.

I would say if you want more clarity from the DEVs, talk to the ungrateful player base that causes them to be more jaded and closed off rather than open.

if everyone here treated the DEVs like family or friends... Who understand this is a FREE project that is kept running by THEIR time and THEIR finances... Then the DEV team might be more willing to say "You know, ive been thinking about XXX lately, what do you guys think" but if that were to happen, people would be flaming ALL OVER THE PLACE, "OMG, your addressing XXX and not YYY issue? Do you guys even have a clue.." etc etc... Its really pitiful how the DEV team is treated....
