Is there anybosy there....? (reading the crafting feedback)

[Buggss]

We all know the feedback from the crafting has been almost unanimously negative but as of yet no devs or service employees has responded at all.

Can we please assume you're reading and noting the feedback with a simple "A dev has read this thread/post" or something like that.

I'm sure this would reduce the number of duplicate threads created so you can get down to altering this debacle of an update.

No offense...

And title should been anyBODY of course.

[Buggss]

About an hour later and no confirmation.

I guess we're left with assuming they know what they're doing then.

Pity...

What do you mean no devs have responded?

None of those posts were written either in response to the 10+ threads on the subject and written today.

Only Madfloyd's was even close to being on topic and that was made yesterday.

I'm referring to a post today specifically on the topic of delaying the release of update 10.1.

W...e will make changes. Unfortunately, they will not be made in time to alter the upcoming patch. As you know, the system is still in beta and we will effect changes as soon as we can.....

Specifically this, refers to the mistake just fine but as hundreds have said, why not delay the release?

They won't delay this abomination, it will go live and kill crafting which is manglement's goal. This will then prove that the time spent on crafting is not worthwhile and they can justify getting rid of a couple devs. Once they've cut the staff they can then show extra profit to the WB and prove they were a worthwhile buy.

No I'm not paranoid, why do you ask?

Whooops. We clearly were out of line with several of these ingredients. Including items like Dreamspitter and Chattering Ring is an embarrasing error on our part and was in no way intentional.

Our motivation to add these extra ingredients (which was only made to a subset of recipes that concerned us) was to preserve and not devalue the efforts made by players to obtain many of the existing powerful named items in the game.

We will make changes. Unfortunately, they will not be made in time to alter the upcoming patch. As you know, the system is still in beta and we will effect changes as soon as we can.

Our apologies and thanks for the swift, clear feedback.

why do so many ppl want it delayed?

go craft your greater banes now, so you dont have to worry about it then

In this case, I don't think too many people are asking for a delay specifically for personal gain. If it's going to be reworked anyway, the abomination should not see the light of day on live. It gives a bad impression of what Turbine thinks of it's playerbase and will leave a lasting impression on how raid loot and crafting can work together. The ramifications of that will be felt game wide for a long time following the destruction of 10.1.

Come on devs, just one little "We hear your comments..." that's a fresh post today on this specific subject and not some bug report that's nothing to do with the thread it's in.

Nowt?

EDIT:

Everyone,

The train has been stopped. The patch will not ship in its current state.

I will update (probably via a separate thread) when I have more news, but I can say this:

We will NOT require raid loot as ingredients.

We will NOT require bound named items as ingredients.

Many ingredients, and the *amount* of some of these ingredients were out of line.

These changed recipes should have been reviewed by various designers, but weren't (a hole in our process that we have identified and corrected to avoid for the future).

Mournlands did not have an opportunity to see or comment on these changes.

Again, I'll post more info when I have it.

Our sincere apologies for causing panic, and many thanks to all players who offered their well-thought out and constructive feedback on this issue and tried the changes on Lamannia.

There we go, thank f00k 4 that!

and breathe....

Remember you can't even attempt it as it has less than 50% chance to succeed.

LOL!! Great point!

LOL!! Great point!

They're rare and far apart but I do have 'em occasionally.

I suppose it's my turn to pony up a thanks to the devs and producers who made the choice, hopefully based at least partially on the communities feedback and solidarity on the subject.
