Great one from Tolero on NDA

Cracked me up. 
Said You can talk about the cool stuff, but its not ok to mention broken shit.

Quote:
1. Normally you don't mention that you're in beta, but because there is such a broad net this time (e.g. all those Pre-purchasers who already told people they pre-purchased earlier in the year so they kinda already blew their "secret identity"), it's not the end of the world if you mention that you're in the Beta however...
2. Don't talk about what you see/experience in the Beta with non-Beta players.
3. It's okay to offer Beta friend-keys to your friends due to #1
4. Don't share any screenshots, video, etc with the outside world or the non-Beta forums. That includes uploading it to your flickr account as you're trying to explain something to us (we have enabled attachments in the forums to avoid this - just don't abuse it or the Cube will attach to you )
5. Once we've entered Open Beta we'll announce that the NDA has been lifted.
6. If you see an article in the press, it's safe to comment on what the press has said, just don't talk about your beta experiences with the thing they're showing. Examples:
- Good: "That's a cool green dragon!"
- Bad: "That's a cool green dragon. His fly attack doesn't quite work yet."

We are gonna like, start our closed beta like 45 days before release and like everyone knows who is like in it as half the player base pre-ordered but you have to like only say like nice things.  Do you like my purple hair?

I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that.  I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

Try treating players like customers instead of red-headed stepchildren.  You'd be surprised how much respect you'd get.

We get irritated by some of the things you say or do sometimes, but there's a reason why you're one of only about two and a half people at Turbine that we actually have some affection for.  Smiley

I actually read that as meaning that it's okay to talk in general terms about things that have been leaked to other media sources, but don't get specific so that you don't end up revealing information that isn't yet public knowledge.

"That's a cool green dragon.  His fly attack is cold based instead of acid based and that really surprised me." or "That's a cool green dragon.  I'm glad we only need to collect 9 green dragon scales to make the green dragon armor." would probably have been equally frowned upon.

What's wrong with saying that a dragon has a few quirky bugs like thinking he's an ostrich and diving into the ground? It's still in beta and still being made, people expect bugs to be there before it is released.

Totally, in fact I dont even really get irritated any more. I just make sure I enjoy the "value added perks intentionally left in game for observant, enterprising and discrete players" and then the other issues dont bother me anymore, its a give take sort of thing!

I say you go ahead and push the limits of the NDA!

my reply:

Correct me if I'm wrong but...wouldn't the simple fact of having the black panther companion be telling people that you pre-ordered? What about the Spider Cult Mask? These are visual objects put into the game and anyone can decipher who has beta access by looking at your toons.

Of course I could be overlooking something Smiley

We need someone to go onto the MotU (public) subforum on forums.ddo.com and make a post that they heard that the green dragon's fly attack isn't working properly.

I take that as permission!

Seriously guys, what she means is understandable. It's in beta. That means there are going to be changes based on what we try out. So if you go post things that are specific in places that are accessible to the general public, and then those things change, it causes issues (as we've seen when a Turbine employee tries to post any details whatsoever on the forums).

So if you keep the specifics to the beta forums (and MajMal says we can be bitchy, muahahahaha!), then things can be tweaked/fixed/changed/etc. based on that feedback and not cause excessive doom in public. This is a business after all.

Mistake #1 speaking to anyone on the vault.

Even bigger sigh that you tried.
  

majmalphunktion wrote on Apr 26th, 2014 at 11:06pm:
Wow, you love me. There has been two big lag fixes in the past week. No, those are not going out with a hotfix. They are more wide ranging and take more time to test.
Of course every time you get like this, I keep wondering where your MMO is so I can play it. Obviously you know excatly how to piece one of these together. I can't keep apologizing a gazillion times for the back end tech and things people did on this game before I was even an employee. So one last time, yes some of the stuff from the before times sucks. Sorry about that. Yes we know, stop building new systems. Yes we know, finish the ones out there. Yes we know you hate bards.

And screw you for bringing up the laid off folks. That sucks every time. I made sure all my people landed in other jobs real quick. None of my 'casualties' are unemployed, just sadly not employed by Turbine. Every business goes through this.Even Valve has layoffs. It sucks every time. If you haven't had to do it then you just don't know. Picking people and knowing you are about to turn their life upside down is terrible, every time.
Not giving a bleep. No, I stop listening when the bile starts. Not worth my sanity. You know my rule, treat me like a human and I'll do the same back. When the rage train starts...cya.
So here is my peace out of the vault for a while. Thanks for the list Ranger, that was actually clear and helpful.

Bazinga, ignore anyone who says you're trying too hard. What they really mean is "if you keep trying so hard, I'll be forced to start respecting you." It's a fact! Actually, you should probably try even harder.
