    Default So Devs, Are We Done Talking?

    We had a huge thread on combat changes, we've saw all types crawl out the woodwork to talk about U5, bugs reported, ideas given and now I see Turbine touting U5 to Massively. So...is that it? U5's a goer?

    I know it's too late to change the 1-6 thing, apparently, so can we safely say the next mod is coming on target?

    A little feedback on our feedback would be much appreciated by several hundred forum tro...em, users.

    honestly I don't believe for a second that the Dev's had an interest in what the customer base had to say about the changes to combat that are coming.
    I do believe that we were shown the changes in an attempt to lessen the fallout rate once these changes go live.

    I still find it mildly funny that people still believe the devs just run the show, all willy nilly style, with no regard for anyone else that plays the game or their management team who is likely making alot of the decisions. I have yet to see this type of company command structure, and I have seen alot of them.

    Being a drug dealer does not imply that they are liars and cheats...

    Yeap, I still think its epic mountains out of molehills. Why else would the same people who threaten to quit every time a major change comes around still be playing?

    You keep on saying this over and over again. Who exactly do you know that has threatened to quit and has not? Do you have proof that people that say they are quitting are, in fact not?

    What can I say? its a great game, it's not like a competing D&D MMO is out (yet . . .).

    It would be nice if our feedback has some effect on what actually gets implemented, but I don't expect that to happen.

    There was never actually a discussion, we were told what they are going to do and aloud to comment on it. That is all, we weren't actually giving feedback that was going to be responded to.

    No matter what we do or say, they are going to make the changes, this was decided before any of the information was made public.

    Turbine does not care that the dramatic changes to game play have had no real beneficial effect, they are stubborn and will refuse to accept that they are mistaken.

    Update5 is coming exactly as described and there's nothing that any of the players can do about it.

    I'd disagree... often our Feedback is taken with a large grain of salt, but...

    Ya know that Bastard Sword and Dwarven War Axe change...

    Yeah that's totally me

    I've only been talking about exactly that for 2 years

    Well now we know who to blame for there being 3 stupidly broken weapons instead of 1 thanks for getting them to break 2 more.

    You had to dig a pretty deep hole for them to pay attention on that one.

    This means the hole dug for some ranged combat adjustments is about the size of Texas in depth.

    *Tinfoil hat on as well as sarcasm*
    The combat changes were probably intentionally posted terribly at the beginning to make us think the listen to use when it was changed.
    *ridiculous tinfoil hat off as well as sarcasm*

    On a serious note, though I am fine with the attempt to listen to use I am not even mad about TWF and THF changes anymore, I just want the bugs to be fixed and DDoor be able to stay when the caster goes through it so it isn't used for griefing. Oh and that Tear not be nerfed into easiness (though admittedly on difficulties greater then normal I saved a group once or twice on my char, as in they were all dead and a brought their soul stones to shrine which was fun as it was an educational experience for parties). I also want the scrag trolls to die again only through fire and acid, and the option to still use the dice system in UI, after all they have both descriptions for the skills, one on Lama and other on live servers.

    Really it is the minor things that sting me.
