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....

End of story.

I'm 98% certain the vast majority of the people who left last summer did so over the massive DDOS we suffered that took the game server, and frequently the website, down for weeks at a time. We weren't stable again until late in September. If scenario kill points are what did us in, we have a whole lot less wiggle room than I thought.

Yes, in some regards.

The problem is that private servers are always built to a specialised standard.

Where did the 6v6 scene go after last summer? all those hardcore guilds? oh that's right...

Nevermind!
