Return of Reckoning

That's so utterly wrong that I don't even know where to begin.

it is Alpha and they don't FIND files, they WRITE them ,code them from scratch.

This server needs a good ol' wipe to remind the plebs that it's an alpha :^)

I don't mind complaint threads because they can be ignored. And you can move the hell on. On the other hand, any a-hole who throws the word "retard" around, should get banned from posting.

I'm not in the habit of banning people for specific use of words. Behavior that is increasingly offensive will generally receive a warning first.

There is a profanity filter in place both on the forums and in-game. It doesn't cover the word "retard". For the forums at least, you could use a browser extension to replace words you personally find offensive.

oh , i tought mythic gave them permission , therefore , gave them the "FILES" with everything in it , but just not at the right place... if they have to rewrite everything then , i suggest , WE as the community try to help them ( for those of us who know computer coding or modeling or wtvr) .

Why do people download 10GB without knowing it's content? Just tell them it's alpha and they are put to blame themselves.

well said sir!

also i completely agree to that:

maybe we could get a wipe (read: all chars start at level 1 so we can keep the names) every few weeks? or after major changes... idk! i'm confused now! help!!!

I was just being a funny guy

Doing a character wipe would hurt the population drastically, and I don't think there is any real need for it.


The problem is people come to the server and play it as if its a finished product, and are ignorant to the fact it is a server in alpha. I would imagine "beta" would be when most everything is implemented. And a live/launch would be when the server is on par with live, and the only thing left is to improve upon the original games mechanics/balance.

Having some kind of requirement to post in certain subforums like general discussion and suggest/feedback should improve post quality dramatically. Like having at least 1 character max level and a certain amount of playtime.

A lot of the "bad" posts are made by people who have only made it to like level 15, got analblasted by a BW and decide to make a thread about balance/nerf etc...

A subforum that requires a certain number of good bug reports on the tracker could also create a good environment for discussion among people who actually alpha test and report bugs etc...

The problem is, that there are indeed good reports also coming from people that do not post or report anything else at all. You cannot keep them out of the discussions. I'd rather have some people instantly muted on the forum for excessive sh*tposting than generally locking the subforums.
