Who hit my lfm?

[Delt]

If my.ddo starts working again, it just means I'll have to wear my Korthos googles and starter rags more regularly....which is bad news for everyone involved.

[Braegan]

I miss it. My poor FvS is two lives outdated already.

[AkromaAoW]

Myddo has some great features. You like a game to not work properly, keep on /not signing.

-Bunk

P.S. Take a moment and stop assuming you know why I want myddo to work.

Wow, lots of red on that single post and all because I dont agree, tsk, tsk. OK, why DO you want MyDDO to work properly, Bunk? As far as I know, the only thing that's not working is the part that allows players to view up to date information on characters. Admittedly, I rarely visit MyDDO, so educate me.

Cheers,

Not Bunk. But E, I like myddo for a few reasons. It gives me a chance to look at other builds to see how they selected equip config, etc. It's more a research tool to some then a screening tool. And I've used it alot as such.

Now, have I ever myddo'd the persistently dead member of a group...sure. The only funny thing is it's consistency. Low HP, No Fort = Dead. I do enjoy sometimes looking at the low numbers and wonder what the player is thinking joining my zerg lfm.

Also, some have put some work into their characters. It's kinda of disapointing to see some of my past lives not showing up.

All in all, myddo is not evil. Nor was it's inception I believe. Negative folk will use whatever and make it negative, but it doesn't make it exclusive and only useable for nefarious reasons.

and some +rep to balance the -

For the very reason you stated. I want all the functions of Mydoo to work properly. And to ALWAYS work. I like the idea and direction of Myddo. Sure, I was sceptical at first, but myddo to me is a way to have the ddo community interact with eachother. Something that the forums of ddo have been unable to do. Ddo is a mmo, and therefore any tool that turbine offers that helps the "massive multiplayer online" community communicate and interact more is a good thing. At least that is how I see it.

List up Eriik. We all know you are one to share this, or share that, especially you characters. So don't. Stay annon. and leave myddo to the rest of us.

Oh, and one other thing. The fact that you said: and disappointed in Bunk for signing.

That means absolutly nothing to me. Considering your disappointment is based on a total assumption of which you know nothing about. So go ahead and be disappointed. I laugh.

I'm sure your a nice guy. I think I have even been in a few of your runs and you have been more than helpful and kind to about anyone that comes you way.

Legion can be the jerks of the server for all I care. But for someone claiming to be a "Generious person" You sure like to come troll, be holier than though, and wave your Jesus stick alot on these forums, IMO.

Lol at the rep thingy. That was a statement that I made very tongue-in-cheek. If you see/use myDDO as a tool for interaction and constructive fact finding, great! Unfortunately, there are a number of folks that would use myDDO to hurt community growth, not promote it. Is myDDO more constructive or divisive?

As to why I don't discuss my characters or activities more than I do, you don't have to look any farther than those types of folks that, upon hearing something about a character, will:

1. Feel less about their own character or equipment. "You have a xxxxx? I only have a yyyy. Sigh..."
2. Try to one up you. "Bah! that's worthless, I've have/can do/ xxxxx."
3. Call you a braggart.

I have no desire to hurt the folks in 1, the folks in 2 are just annoying, and I'd like to not be guilty of 3. So, it's just been better to do the job at hand and say nothing. Of course, there are a number of folks that are not in these categories, but there are more than plenty that are to make silence golden for me.

As for the being disappointed part, well, perhaps I jumped the gun where myDDO and you connect. It's very possible that I have erroneously attributed a number of attributes to you. My mistake.

I'll leave you to your things, Bunk. I don't think there's anything to gain by crossing path with you. I hope you enjoy your gaming in the land of DDO for as long as it suits you.

Peace and best wishes,

E.

One particularly useful feature of MyDDO was my ability to track the XP progress of the other members of my semi-static group, so I knew when to ease off the throttle, or turn on the zerg juice.

Another was: when I'm trying to figure out how character X seems so effective (like for example, how they got such a high AC, or so many hit points), it's useful to be able to see what they have equipped. Hey, I might learn something!

[Ironforge_Clan]

One other feature that doesn't work because its broken is the raid timers. Without current updated character information not all of my characters show up so it is inevitably more difficult (i.e more time consuming) to check on which character is off which timer.

It needs to be fixed!

Thank you for the kind words, and apologies if you find my opinions trolling. Honestly, I'm not sure what trolling is, but it seems to be associated in many threads with having an opinion opposite from the popular one for the thread. That makes sense as my opinion is opposed to any devisive use of myDDO, and I'm guessing that the OP wants to use myDDO to screen out "lesser" beings. Of course, I could be wrong...

As for waiving the Jesus stick, I don't know what to say. I try to be good to people, and I'm opposed to folks being not so good. If you believe that my opinions are so goodly aligned, what exactly is wrong with that? Unless you think I'm a hypocrite and not following my own doctrine, I'm not sure where the problem lies.

The counter arguement:

People play the game and have the right to play it however they want. It's their money, their time, and they should be able to spend it however they want.

My response:

OK, but I'm sure that you can think of a ton of situations where you might need or want to interact with someone and their desire to do their own thing with their time, money, etc. will impact you in undesirable ways. It's kind of like my students needing extra help after class, and my work day already being 10 hours long and officially over. I'm hungry, tired, and my wife and DDO are calling. Do I stay and help, or do I go home? It's my time, after all. Of course, I stay...(nearly) every time.

Cheers,

E.

A little bit of me feels sorry for you and all others that focus on the negative. DDO is a game, and games are meant to be fun. So why o'why would you clutter up your day with negativity.

You hint around the fact that a certain group of players use myddo in a negative way. I bet they are enjoying the game more than you. You and others that are so worries about what others do, spend less time enjoy what YOU like about the game.

By all means, continue to let others bother you. Maybe that is what you like most, pacing back and forth in the marketplace, shouting "why them, why them!" All the while, the rest of the playing community out there enjoying all the benifits that turbine can offer.

Just a little 2cp to think on.

No bother. Thinking about and/or looking after others is what I do, and I assure you that it makes me very happy to do so.

Now these points of data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.

It's NOT out of beta. It's still in beta. Albeit, it's an exaggeratedly long beta, but nonetheless...that's what it is.

If you want them to give myDDO attention, leave your feedback in the threads linked in my sig below.

You seem to make the assumption that, without myDDO, people would never screen anyone and just randomly accept the first people who hit the LFM.

Does myDDO allow people to screen people from their groups based on hit points, stats, and equipment? Absolutely.

Does myDDO allow people to accept people into their party THAT THEY NORMALLY WOULD NOT HAVE ACCEPTED BASED ON BUILD OR GUILD based on that individual's hit points, stats, and equipment? Absolutely.

And this is one of many reasons why myddo can be considered a good thing.

By giving a source that allows players to find like minded induviduals that they will "enjoy" grouping with. This allows for less chance of bad groups.

And if you have a dislike over the "screening" stigma that myddo carries, think on this: If you dislike players that screen in LFMs, then why would you want to group with those same players. In fact, I think that is a service to those that do not agree with the style at which they create and fill thier groups. Don't you want leaders to want you in thier group.

If I don't agree with something I see before entering a group, why would I subject myself to being in said group.

Well, I wouldn't go that far with my thoughts, but your last point is likely true. People have other issues that will direct grouping. Still, until you have met the player and seen what they can do, it's all window dressing. I assure you that Steve Vai, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Joe Satriani, could entertain better with a cheap, no name guitar than I could with a top end PRS. The clothes don't make the man.

I'm disappointed that he's disappointed in Bunk for signing. Take that!

IMO, its no worse than the fellow decked out in uber gear that doesn't listen. The thing is, there are plenty of folks around that can form a good backbone for a group of good players with lesser equipment, and the party can succeed. Contrast that with the well geared know it all that screams "Leroy Jenkins" just before your party wipe.

Let me clarify. I'm all for people setting up groups that suit them. However, I am for meeting people and seeing what they can do over looking at their stats in myDDO to make inclusion/exclusion decisions.

Cheers,
