Mark Your Calendars! Monk Week is coming!!

[Xorm]

I am curious as to why we never get a response to our questions, they can post a note, but there is no follow-up, and it is really aggravating, and is a poor way to do business.


just my two cents.

You don't have 61 pages of rules and regulations as to what you can and can't say as a developer, should you choose to post during a 12-14 hour per day 6 day per week development schedule...

Them responding to every little thing would push our modules back by months at a time.

In other words... Mod7 isn't coming out until June. And there I was thinking they had planned to get it out in April...

January 2006-ish...

Thats not what i am asking.

I am asking how come they don't tell us when stuff is happening, which is my main point here. hard to plan on activities when you don't know when things are going to happen. This is the reason i am frustrated. however my point that i was getting at, was why have a forum that we can reply to, if they are not going to answer our questions? seems silly to me, to post a thread that you can reply to, and then just ignore the questions set forth, i mean after the reading through the first 2-3 pages, i gave up and skipped to the end to post my thoughts.

I do not want to go through 61 pages of rules and regulations, nor do i want anyone else, but if you look most other mmo games they for the most part say the release date is **/**/**** and they know that it is coming out then, and that is the way it is. seems that our favorite game is being ran by a bunch of people with ADHD, which I can attest to, because i have it also. everyone that has ever played any other online game surely can attest, that they new when the update was coming and what was going to be in it, before it even went to beta testing. SO, i know my posting is rambaling and is actually covering to points instead of just one, but please here are the questions i want answered.


1) what is mod 7's release date?
2) why post a thread about something, and give no real information?
3) why no follow up on the questions asked? esp the ones about you are keeping them in the dark.

As a paying subscriber I believe I have the right to know when new content is coming, you know clear concise answers to what is going on. Turbine has said in the past that we the subscribers are what they are here for, and the majority rules. I believe that the majority of the subscribers want to know when updates are coming, and what is included in them. This is not to much to ask, and has nothing to do with the 61 pages of rules and regulations, but just providing good customer service.

What I'm hearing from this is Monks are coming out on May 26th.

And that's what the word is around Stormreach, I heard May 26th before I saw this post, so this just confirms this as the release date of monks. I'm just a little concerned why no release on Risa. My only figuring on that one is that there is a lot of anticipation for Monks and you want to hold on to them as long as you can so that they are all ready for the Monks week. And it's not like releaseing it of Risa is much help anyway right, your not going to find minior bugs because no one plays over there and you can't have people releasing all that Monky goodness from the Risa server and mixing everyone up.

Just hoping that you add the Monk information to the Wiki so I don't have to wait to build my monk tell after everyone has gotten there monk up to 16.

AoC? They are really trying to shoot themselves in the foot atm. Considering they have screwed a bunch of customers by capping the amount of people that can get into their headstart. Meaning even if you got a head start code, and if you didn't register early enough and weren't lucky enough to be picked, then you are SOL. There are alot of cancelled pre-orders going on right now. That and the fact that the PvP open beta turned off alot of players as well.

My dad and I are some of the ones they screwed. It's definately not a good sign of things to come for AoC. We already paid for and picked up our preorders though, so we've got a "free" month starting Tuesday. I was going to play DDO and AoC at once, but if they keep breaking their promises then AoC will be in the T-O-I-L-E-T.

Don't forget! Monk week is just around the corner! May 26-30th has been dubbed "Monk Week" and we'll be telling you all about MONKS!

Mark your calendars now, and don't miss it!

monk week does not equal new mod right?

[BattleCircle]

But I read it as an EVENT. Think back to the anniversary event and the lag that was evident at times as they prepared the servers.

[GibsonP]

Your going to take a week to tell me about monks?

If I wanted to know about your release of monks, I would read my PHP, and take about half of their abilities away (all the cool stuff), and end up with a pretty good approximation of what you have planned.

Yeah, tell me is OK so long as I can try out what you're saying - at least on Risia. Off-game monk-stuff only will be a guaranteed letdown.

[KuRRuPT]

wonder if any you pen and paper guys out there can point out what stats will be needed to make a pure monk fighter. str/dex etc....

I actually got into the AoC beta on the 10th, leveled a toon to 14 during the headstart on the 17th, and on the 18th rolled a new toon in DDO. DDO rocks. AoC meh.

My understanding is that monks work a bit like paladins: several stats need attention. Dex for AC & evasion (monks are good at this) and attack if finnese built. Strength for damage, attack (if strength based), and some good loot hauls. Wisdom improves monk skills, Ki, AC, and saves. Constitution is a standard for any class: more is better, just don't gimp the other stats. Intelligence and charisma are the only ones not to be concernced with. I'm planning on going for a human finesse 32 pointer with 14 strength, 16 dex, 14 con, and 16 wisdom. These plans are in no way set in stone though. DDO has had a tendancy to "massage" stuff comming from PnP. Monk week is "comming soon" (TM). We'll see then.

So monk week is just hearing more of what we can see for ourselves on the Risia Forums? =(


Here I was thinking that it would be the release of Mod 7 and bonus xp for new characters. I am very disappointed, dont need a monk "week" if all it is is info, just make it monk "day" or "hour."


1) what is mod 7's release date?
2) why post a thread about something, and give no real information?
3) why no follow up on the questions asked? esp the ones about you are keeping them in the dark.

Quoted for truth.

Where is this information hiding? I would really like to know about all thier abilities and neat class tricks so I can plan out my monk before Tuesday. However I am having some trouble finding out about monks other then the rumors flying around the message board.

Thanks

[Wook]

Well if you really want info go look at the risia forums
if your wondering what they are like go play on risia

They need str/dex/con/wis
Mix and match to suit your needs
They also need without a doubt Concentration

And they told us its June 3 for release gee thats Tuesday i think you can wait.
