...hawt.

Hell, didn't you quit?

But he can still vote!

I don't play Xavius. I have a Caco these days.

Oh. Ewwww.

It's sad that the top 70 players are voting faster than the other thousand. In all likelihood? No Xenthos, they will not address combat if it loses here. You're basically squandering a chance at a sit-down balancing discussion for an essence shop. I'm looking right at you and twirling my finger with a great big yawn.

For reference:



This is what we bitch about on these forums day in and day out. Complexity and in a sense cost of entry in both time and credits. This can be addressed. That list is from June. Which of those got addressed? The winner and Aetherspace, which already had a committee in place.

Super finger twirl. At you buddy.

I think at the end of this poll, the difference between winner and 2nd place will be only by a few votes, so why not have our cake and eat it too and work on both.

Pretty sure that's how communism won.

Why are these polls not put as referendums IG? It's often stated by the admins and players that the forums tend to just be a loud minority. I know a lot of players who barely ever check the forums because it doesn't interest them even though I'm sure a poll on what should be worked on next month would.

That's... pretty darn smart. Or have a link to this thread if they want a discussion going intead of just a click and vote. Or type and vote. Whatever.

I voted for a combat review. The essence shop is really only important to the top portion of the game that already have the essence to spend on it. The rest still have to deal with being blown up by that top portion. I am of the opinion that fixing the balance and complexity issues will open up the realm to more people, while creating an Essence Shop will only benefit those who have reached the top levels of the game.

Done!

Harmony please.

Two things-

Hopefully the essence shop would be strictly RP/fun stuff. We really don't need more of a godzilla complex than we already have. Or for that matter, to make our combat system even more mind numbing.


Also, regarding harmony- even if it isn't worked on, some sort of actual status would be appreciated. It can't be worked on by envoys, because there is a special report. The special report hasn't done much in a year (see september 2008 envoy reports). So it's a skillset that needed a report, so we can't envoy it, but the report doesn't move.

Hm... normally I don't post my opinions unless its about something worth really mentioning or just being goofy. Although, to give an opinion on this- I think perhaps more attention should be spent on things more important and perhaps old bugs that should've been dealt with possibly what? 3-4 years ago maybe? (Despite my pet peeve of things not getting done like suppose to.) I'd think rather also that attention should be more focused on warrior review as well as possibly race reviews maybe. But essence shop? That seems a bit fickle and somewhat greedy-taking focus off more important things than to immaculate flaires of a demigod, true, it would be nice and cool to have, but its not something one would prioritize as something to be done on your A list of things to do first.
Surely through all the envoy reports of various skills in classes, and at least twice or thrice of an overhaul in the monk system(which I think is totally a load of you know what... )) I feel that the warrior review thing should at least be looked at, and brought up to discussion, which was no different than what was done to other classes skills, I'm sure that warrior pk'ing isn't 100% balanced. And yes, I'm not an avid combatant, but it shouldn't be something to be over-looked should it so. That is just and only cents of an opinion on it all. I don't expect anything said to be considered or taken seriously-but there are more important things to fix than essence shops/tradeskills at the moment.

Ok, on the old bugs thing, do many of you actually have an unresolved bug sitting on your bug list? I've had one come back as unreproducable which I encounter frequently, which was a little frustrating for me but understandable given the nature of the problem, and I think I have one open bug that's entirely trivial, but...really, are there bugs that you've all reported and detailed that just straight up aren't done for several months? Bugs that matter? I somehow find that unlikely.

also, this.

I've had a bug sitting on classified since june 20th. I thought it was major

Yes.

Of the 8 bugs on my list 3 are resolved and 2 haven't even been classified. Most of them are over 1 month old. I know for a fact there are/was (somehow bugs seem to vanish off lists at random) dreamweaving bugs dating back to November, as well.

Is there a "My Patron is inactive and has been for a good long while can I please have something shiny" option?
