Cool, I guess. Last exam today in 1.5 hours, busy cramming, no thoughts to add. Discuss! ! !: D! Cheers!

If I cared enough to post on the main forums, I'd say Reaver & Reaver.

Titan & Tempest Spine would be nice.  Do Tempest Spine as level 20 Epics with item upgrades handled just like Reaver (Single Item+shard=voila), and Titan as 24ish.

Should be broken into 'Shard/Seal/Scroll of the Carnival', 'Shard/Seal/Scroll of Night', 'Shard/Seal/Scroll of the Demon Queen', etc.  Upgrade what you want, especially for Demon Queen train wreck.

My big concern is that it reads like “We’re going to do what you say here for future content.  Fuck fixing the older content.”

You would think that both could happen. Huh.
And no this is not placebo effect. Change of guard in a big way. I'm working with someone who takes that 'powered by our fans' thing to heart. Refreshing. But please, be mad and don't get involved. That's cool too.

I want to believe, really I do. But we've had such a year of crap, I have to ask - is the person "who takes that 'powered by our fans' thing to heart" actually in a position to change things, or is he the janitor or something like that?

Is management actually listening? Was that comment about Occupy Stormreach being a few people upset for a day just a really bad slip of the tongue? Or is the Epiphany more recent?

Did you know the guy who's putting Pathfinder Online together puts out a blog every 2 weeks and talks with supporters and detractors alike on a daily basis? Are we going to get more involvement than 30 posts in 6 months from somebody who's supposed to have the pulse of the game?

Because I would think both could happen, I would in fact expect both would happen were we talking about any other company.

So I echo AtomMew's question, how do we get involved in a way that's more useful than shouting in a padded room?

MajMal,

Thanks for posting but can you REALLY blame US (the customers) for the bad feelings we may have towards Turbine?

Saying things like, "But please, be mad and don't get involved. That's cool too." doesn't do anything to assuage some of the raw feelings of dissatisfaction many of us are feeling.

A couple of posts by a Dev or two in the DDO Forums, are just that - posts. Turbine needs to SHOW US they're serious about fixing their relationship with us, the customers.

We need to see two things before we are going to actually believe you (Turbine) are serious.

1) Producer Rowan needs to make a "Mea Culpa" post even though the crappy relations between Turbine and its customers certainly isn't all his fault. He needs to acknowledge how we feel as well as acknowledge we're right to feel that way.

2) We need to see some REAL actions to show you guys are serious about moving away from "business as usual" they way it has been for the last seven years or so. The Paiz (both Kate and Fеrnando) era was VERY damaging to both the game itself and to us. Take concrete steps to repair their damage and take it soon! Please!

As an aside, your Community moderation team isn't helping. Jerry is really turning a lot of vets off and Tolero, while not quite as bad as Jerry, isn't helping. At the very least, she needs to reign Jerry in/properly supervise him. If you want a concrete example of Jerry's mismanagement of the Community, I'd be very happy to provide it (including documentation) but I won't do it here in public.

MajMal, snippy responses, clever they may be at times, aren't usually the best way to get people on your side/repair damage. If you want to engage the Vault, please do it openly, clearly, honestly, and, at the very least, with some humility.

We aren't that bad really. Talk to us like we're actually people and I'm sure you'll find that out.

No. He's talking to us like we're children.

Hi Majmal.

Please then makes him aware that it's not in the official forums that he will get the right feeling about the Fan Power. Here it might be a Cesspool filled with Trolls, but we like this game enough to point where it hurts.

And right now what hurts badly is the lack of shroudlike raid/item crafting system at endgame.
( and a bunch of other raids. )

Consider that Reaver's Fate, Hound, VoD, Shroud kept us busy and happy for years. Add ToD, LoB, MA, Epic Velah and Epic Queen, and you have a few more years of happyness.

In my guild that meant that our friday night raidathon was never the same from one week to another. ( one week VHS [ VoD, Hound, Shroud ], another one E-VON, LoB, MA, then Shroud, ToD, E- Queen, ... With a Reaver's Fate to cool off after the weeks everything went fine and it was still early )

Right now our friday night raidathon is :Velah,  FoT ( Twice ), Epic Chronoscope or Epic Queen, then the following week it's Velah, FoT ( twice ), Epic Queen or Epic Chronoscope.

As you can see we used to have enough choice to avoid doubling raid on a single night and even from one week to another.
Right now we can't.
( Pain in the Navel is in the Tedious, Not Fun list, since we have the items we want from it and the commendation drop rate is so retarded for the time lost running like headless chickens in there it's pointless to waste time there )

The whole scroll shard and seal thing doesn't need to be a 100% success but the suck arse drop rate needs to increase.
