Ok 8 10 years ago that might have work . Now well that whole show of there product was horrible . Looks like some Corp  bought a lemon from the used MMO lot . Gone surfing  real world calls . Have fun .

Ya know, I don't care what they personally look like or that they aren't uber players.  I'd prefer they be uber devs than players.  I know Jerry isn't a dev, but he's not good at PR either.  Find someone who is.

To my mind, the criticisms are validly directed against poor presentation of their product.

The appearance of "we're running it from mum's garage" does not make me want to pull out my Credit card.

The best suggestions here are:
1. Be prepared.  Have the character/gear/hires that you need to do a good demo.
2. Do a dry run of whatever you plan to present, so you don't look stupid or spend time flaffing around.  Just be competent/familiar with it.
3. Pick content that showcases what you're trying to demo. Use the best playable version.  Don't use an Alpha version of code for an almost released product - it doesn't promote confidence at all.
4. Any PR material should aim to be professional.
I understand some off-the-cuff live material can be fun, but I just don't think Jerry is the man to do it.

What we just saw came across as incompetent,  incomplete and ill-prepared. SNAFU for Turdbine unfortunately.   

Listening to them makes me wonder if they just create level 15 characters all the time, play one quest on normal, and then think they are done playing for the day, they developed to be experts to comment on builds and quests to teach "our players" how to correctly deal with the game... dafuq, no wonder the game goes down the drain with such experts of the game "developing" it...

-7000 hps is how you showcase the new content.

If they only shot the gameplay, with superimposed cam views of the devs faces as they played through the content talking about what they were doing then i think that would have been fine. Honestly the only thing i thought while watching was WHY THE FUCK AM I PLAYING THIS GAME ?

Why can't they recruit someone awesome to do the run throughs of gameplay ? JUST LOOK AT YOUTUBE! So many good players with interesting commentary SOLOING EE SHIT. Why does the runthrough have to be so fucking bad. You know that guy is the one who joins your fucking group and goes "shrplz!, which house?" gets in just as you start the boss fight, runs into a trap, dies then goes afk so you can't farm that shit.

If you had godmode, it would be tempting to abuse it because you feel that you didn't need to work in the game to be good. But then you have no respect from the players who see that you are bad.

Also, why can't all the quests be epified ? I don't see what the big deal about this is. I reckon it would take about a week per chain. Just give all of the mobs CR Player level +50 and 50 times the HP and update SOME OF THE COOL SHIT THAT BETTER DEVS THOUGHT UP.

Anyone know who the dev was that made Acute Delirium, Undermine, and other quests that didn't suck ?

I'm actually more mad about this twitch than i am about how fucked the game is, op destinies, and shit that doesn't work as intended and thus makes people awesome.

"Yes. What game are these guys playing?"

500,000 hp rats. This is your idea. YOU SUCK AS MUCH AS TURBINE.

So I was thinking I maybe understand why they hem and haw using the phrases "I think" and "I believe" and "It should"; they don't want to give a definitive yes and then be proven wrong. I think that's a terrible attitude to have. Too much ego. Everyone is wrong sometimes. It's not the end of the world. Admit it, correct it and move on.

And if we don't know what something is intended to do, how the fuck can we test it correctly and bug report it if it's broken? Since the in-game tool tips are a.)inaccurate and b.)sometimes completely absent we're left guessing at the intent behind WAY too much stuff.

Agreed.  Never understood why they spent so much time on ships.  Especially the daft designs that are extremely unfun.  Have to climb up/down ladders, open multiple friggin doors - we don't log in to play "get the buffs" game.
I could understand having different ships based on size and aesthetics, but not multiple redundant levels.  The Windspyre Gryphon is the worst design of them all.  Rat run.

Yeah, so now they've taken it to a new level..... wow.

You can tell they don't really play the game.  Do they think people really hang out on the ship and admire the scenery?

The Hall of Heroes is another example of wasted development, but apparently that was intended to have a greater purpose before WOTC put the kybosh on a live inter-realm portal.

Read it somewhere quite awhile ago - main forums I think.  WOTC didn't want the two realms directly connected.

Could not for the life of me understand:
(A) why not
(B) why they would even care?

Is someone going to cite DDO as an in game reference source?

Teleporting members to quest would be a winner. Then again, if you didn't have to run for 10 mins to get to a quest that you can finish in 5 mins what would you do with those extra 10 mins. I kinda see what Turbine did there.

Imagine all those pikers that would get called out. That is actually most of Sarlorna.
