Can we get info and previews on T3 please?

^ " I WANT".

Make your own game.

Why so agressive?

[noisestorm]

yah boys things like pvp gear, bugs and lag dont need discussion, as some m8 post it "As Aza mentioned once, if it requires effort and it's not important, don't bother asking." ...you see no need to be inconvenient lets talk about buffs and nerfs as expected

Obviously you are talking about my Sig

Since majority of you seem to be new, maybe some points need to be clarified.

This server does not receive donations. You're not playing a DAOC, WOW, EQ, etc emulator that receives donations on a daily basis.

The staff here is small, yet they have a LOT of interaction with their players. Keyword, "small". yet, they literally work every day trying to fix bugs and errors.

You are not paying $14.99 a month for this game, and even if you paid a monthly subscription, it's still NOT okay to be a douche to the developers.

These people are not your employees.

I'm clearly not an English major, but let's look at two different sentences:

If resources are available, would it be possible to maybe have a newsletter be sent out? (I mean, seriously though, how many private servers do this nowadays?)

vs

I WANT TO BE UPDATED, SERIOUSLY? 1 MONTH? I THOUGHT IT WAS DONE, YOU NEED TO KEEP US UPDATED.

The level of self-entitlement that some of you have is beyond ridiculous.

Agreed with Renork. Getting tired of it myself, and you'd better get worried when devs start getting tired of it, because it will rapidly mean you don't get any communication.

Ossos' snide post is another one that's annoyed me as well.

For those who want to show respect to the developers aside from using a token phrase: Please refrain from posting snide, "clever" comments and requests for us to deal with every trivial inconvenience you have, like adding a mailing list for news.

A little bit of behind the scenes for you guys:

When I first joined this staff, developer communication was very sporadic and limited. The reason for this that I was given was that if developers communicated with the playerbase more about our current and future work, expectations would rise, and so too would the sense of entitlement, especially if we were unable to keep up with our estimated timeframe for the release of content. I laughed this off and put it down to not really wanting to engage with the playerbase that much. I clearly lacked some wisdom.

Really we went from pretty much rdy to go to now a month ? please please add E-mail list for server news ..

I didn't say the lag would be fixed in a month, I said it would be done within the next month, probably. It's a snarky way of saying, "I don't know, because fixing it isn't my job or my responsibility." It could be fixed tomorrow, it could take a week, it could take a month. The T3 content we wanted to release is 90% done right now, if not 100% done. We're just idling and getting a head start on some minor T4 stuff while the source code devs work their magic.

Will the Lag in T3 have a higher cap than the Lag in T2?

Do you mean, "If we reduce the lag experienced with 750 players in T2, will we increase the player cap for T3?"

I assume the answer to that is yes, but I couldn't say when that will happen. We expect that releasing T3 will draw more players to our server, and we want to be able to handle that load. Obviously we would like the server to perform better with 1500 people tomorrow than it does with 750 today, but we'd probably settle for the two being even.

TY VM for the reply...

[FearTheGriff]

all 3 tier 3 zones being released at the same time then?

No dev communication is probably the best and may help tone down the playerbase attitudes (although there's always going to be the random "ME, I WANT, NOW" jerkoff here and there). I now realize why 99% of private servers don't have dev communication.

And to clarify, it's not about being a "tough" guy or "salty". I'm just not a fan of self-entitlement in general. I'm a medical student major who sees this attitude on a constant basis and it's rude as hell. People are not obligated to do things for you just because you WANT them. These people have their owns jobs, careers, schooling, wife/husband, etc.. and should be treated like YOU want to be treated. They use their free time to bring you this experience.

There's a nice little line that should never be crossed when someone gives/helps you with something without expecting anything back from you.

For those who don't understand the concept of being grateful let me give you an example:

You see a homeless man begging for money, so you give him a couple of dollars. Now, next time the old man comes up to you and asks YOU for money. Wouldn't that make you think "wtf is wrong with this person, I'm not under any obligation to give him ****!".

Well, those are probably the same thoughts these people have when they read comments like "I WANT THIS SOON OR THIS GAME WILL DIE".

[Meleriex]

I'd like to see what gear/weapons we'll have in T3 for rvr and scenarios. How much will the gear/ weapons cost? Stats on all that? Whats the soft cap for stats? Whats the level cap? Whats the renown cap? When's T3 (if you have any estimate)?


Also gear and weapon looks?

who gives a ****, have you never played this game before or something?

T4 or it doesnt **** matter.

Wasn't trying to come off as entitled.. Sorry if I did.. Just had my fill of T2 and noticed a lot of people vocalizing their disappointment in the delay.. Rather then harp on it I figured a simple E-mail that show current news would give others who are tired of T2 a way to simply know when its ready instead of sitting here on the forums posting nonsense..

Did I have a momentary lapse and start complaining myself ? Yes .. For that I apologize.. As I say in all of my posts I am extremely grateful for all the work you all are putting into this..
