Questions regarding future of RoR

[wargrimnir]

Pls stop feeding this crusader troll.
I miss the good old days when this kind of troll were banned after 1 or 2 warnings...
An agrresive troll is still an agressive troll even when he adds smilies in his posts.

Gravord is entitled to his opinions, and as long as he isn't breaking any rules (he isn't) then you shouldn't be so audacious as to make such demands.

Shame Head GM doesnt see it that way. Give a warning to person reporting off topic and personal attack because you dont like said person yourself. GG Wargrminir, your unbiased attitude as GM is astonishing.



Thats brings another question about future of RoR. Why such acts are acceptable among the staff members? Banning Hym on a whim without him breaking any forum rule, letting any personal attacks fly if you dont like person attacked, giving a warnings for reporting post clearly breaking forum rules. If you cant handle task of being neutral GM treating community members fair and respecting your own rules, step down, or rewrite rules to "i do whatever i want, shut up or i ban you", at least it would correspond with reality you are enforcing.

But wait, there's more.

And thats a breach or rule 1.1 forum conduct but since its directed against me im sure GM will let it slide. Direct attack on a person and calling out for more bans based on a whim not rule breach, high quality.

Have a piss at GM's for not fulfilling your desires and get sad when they instead live up to your expectations. Be the change you want to see. Want to play nice with staff here? Great! Want to fight staff here? Bad idea!

We haven't forced your hand, but you keep posting in a manner that aggravates players and staff alike. Blackfyre has all of 5 posts on the forums and he can clearly see this behavior is unwarranted aggression, that's what he called you out on. That kind of community feedback is why we exist.

It's almost like the last time you were banned from the forums, it was for similar reasons. Then being lifted on technicality (no report), only emboldened you to double down on your problematic behavior. Take a hint, a warning if you must, but your current line of aggression is not wanted here.

Hym was suspended from the forum for spamming close to 20 topics, of varying ages, with advertisements for his guild. There's not much point arguing with you since whatever I say about that, you'll find some reason to disagree with it, so eh.

We're human, by the way. If we see that you generally act in an aggressive and entitled fashion, we will not step in to defend you if you then think you can use the report function against people who behave aggressively right back.

Maybe i find reason to disagree based on logic? Did i call out for banning ppl who disagree with me? Did i send warnings to ppl? I provide evidence (biased, sure, kind of point of provind something is to provide favorable evidence to your point) but i still do it on topic not with personal attacks. You are human, sure, but position of power demand certain level of unbiased and fair treatment towards community you manage. If some people cant handle the pressure and stay neutral, they dont have to do it.

Have a piss? Like its first time you allow personal attacks on me run freely because you are happy they do it for you? You let slide everything that goes against ppl you dislike and bash them for anything even if it doesnt break any forum rule, repeatedly.
If i made a post like the ones aimed at me id be ban in 5 seconds, guaranteed.

Last time ive been banned from forum was on your whim and nothing more. You didnt like hard truth that was spoken there so you ban me perma without warning, without explanation and without backing it up with ANY forum rule i broke, because there was non other than you disliking what was said.

Asking for better quality GM work and fair treatment of all community members is "problematic behavior" for you? Good to know. Oh i know its not wanted here, only mindless clapping for whatever you do is acceptable, everyone else is a problem to get rid off as we seen so many times already.

I'll take a stab at the topic at hand, and ignore the pointless instigation above;


1. Can we hope for city sieges to be implemented this year?

Spoiler:

-

2. Is dev team happy with ASW performance or there are changes coming?

Spoiler:

I can only speak for myself- I found the initial double init debuff pretty rough to fight against if ran by a potent 6man, but feel they're at a good point now with only 25% chance to proc.

3. There were talks about adding new classes, Captain and Beastmaster, are they still going to happen and if so, when at earliest we can hope to play them?

Spoiler:

While possible, there's just so many factors involved which would need to be ironed out that I would not plan on ogging into a Captain/Beastmaster/hammerer any time soon.

4. Are there any further plans to make leveling faster, so that new players and alts can participate in proper end game combat sooner?

Spoiler:

Leveling recieved a boost a month ago, and in my opinion is in a good state in that you can, by yourself, ignore grouping if you want and easily go through a few levels in an hour of playtime as is. Instant level 40 wrath of heroes 2.0 warhammer deathmatch boogaloo isn't a plan on RoR's horizon.

5. Are there any plans to reduce frequency of t2-3 zones in t4 rvr? Those zones tend to be too small for prime time fights, t2 keeps have barely one door, etc. Limiting them to mid days while having proper t4 zones only active in EU/US prime times could benefit rvr.

Spoiler:

I for one greatly appreciate the variety of maps played on and would not cast my vote (my vote doesn't matter anyway) to cut the scenery in half.

Thank you for the quality response

Yaliskah needs to create an NA server with github as head gm to balnce

Thus we begin your warning accumulation.

[wargrimnir]

The rules in the ToS are loosely constructed, thus they're up for some interpretation, especially when it comes to the forums. The rules you will encounter in-game are much more specifically enforced, that's where the vast majority of reports are made.

The forums are not a requirement to play the game. If you accumulate warnings and end up suspended or banned from the forums, your in-game account is not affected (outside of the most extreme circumstances). We certainly take into context what forum posters are doing here when it's appropriate to do so. If the large context of your existence on the forums is to cause problems, that's accounted for. You will receive warnings, you will eventually be suspended. Your presence on the forums is not required for this community to continue.

At any time, you can turn that around and be a quality contributor, ask a couple of staff members who ran into me early in their ROR experience.

Preamble H and Section 3 in the TOS should give you an idea what we expect, and what we enforce. The rest of it you can infer by our actions and directions when you cross the line. That's how things work around here.

Hello! Id like to ask few questions about future of RoR.

4. Are there any further plans to make leveling faster, so that new players and alts can participate in proper end game combat sooner?

1) One of my alts just afk crafted for 9 lvls sitting on a bo for ticks in T1 Nordland.
2) Another alt, just left a sc that gave me 50K xp (in 15 minutes) for spamming guard and standing still.
3) It took this same alt 2 hours to get a full set of Ruin gear. Which if you ask me, is a ridiculously good set for T4. Now my alt sucks 50% less.
4) Another alt is already wearing 3 pieces of endgame dps gear and has only been in T4 for a week.

</sounding like an asshole> Exactly how much easy mode do you want here?

</better question> How much KungFu Taoist patience does Wargrimnor have to not insta lock these threads?

What are the plans for Chosen/KoBS like? im nervous here because these are 2 of the tanks I enjoy a lot.

Not set in stone yet, but the plan is to make the auras more engaging with a higher skill ceiling. The devs have ideas about how to do that, but again, nothing to actually share yet.

[Gravord]

</sounding like an asshole> Exactly how much easy mode do you want here?

As much as possible so me and everyone else can focus on pvp and pvp alone full time. Wasting playerbase on mindless grind pve to get better chances at pvp is a waste of time, resources and motivation that should not be wasted. In my belief proper WAR pvp start at lvl 1 and continues till you die of old age and any time spend in pve apart of getting little bit of farm for pots/talis is a time not well spend. Nobody sane plays this game to do 50 pq's for his set to start fight on somewhat equal footing, everyone here is for the blood of other players
From my guild perspective we lost quite a lot of ppl, solid live server veterans, because of this. They arrived, they played every single day, they hit some mid lvl 20 early 30 at best after 2 weeks and they decide its not worth it. They are here for pvp and pvp with chances, not being lvl 20 vs lvl 40's full geared. Fact somebody started play earlier shouldnt put him on such massive level and gear difference and bolster aint gonna compensate for that. New player need in reasonable time be able to hit max level (not talking about rr gain here, just normal level and exp) so he start get chances for proper bag rolls.
That being said havent had opportunity yet to test out recent exp changes.
