It is highly possible its a language barrier since english isnt my native, guildies always try to help me with that and  tell me when i write something that isnt right.
Usually they summerize all the rants i say in a way better approach to people to get my points across better.

I know that i should work on my english, but as i live in russian like country and work in germany talking in 2 different languages, then swaping to japanesse and at end to english when i play ddo it makes my english seem so messy.

Basically i dont know how to put it so that people get it, i want every single class in ddo to be playable, bugs to be fixed, game to be what it was before motu, the devs to fix stuff faster that is relevant, and to actually work on content and classes they revamp while listening to people who put effort to provide feedback and not the weekend players who dont know how something works in specific content. I just dont get how they can even while it was reported on lama, put so many bugs live, i just dont understand it, as a person who does work private or for customers i would get fired in a day if i did the same work turbine does.
Also the stuff that happend in my life is what happend in my life, i have all rights to have it in bio, its there since i made that char and i wont change it because couple internet trolls tell me to do so. I am quite happy with it since i know i have  my identity and that i do not need to steal others names because i want some kind internet attention.
I offend people alot, but there is really nothing to be offended about, because i dont do it as a thing i want initialy but because i find flaws in their logic or way they think, i dont report people, i sometimes report bugs, most of the time bugs that harm us as i have no benfit of less people in ddo.
But put more simple, i do all that stuff because i love this game and dont want it to fall apart because people abuse the shit of everything and incompetent devs not knowing what they change when they change.
You guys really dont know how many players we lost when dupe was known to public, if you guys want to ploit its cool to me, but DO NOT SPREAD IT since that way you slowly kill the game and i will defend ddo since i want to play this shit even next year and the year after since i consider it the best dnd mmo, i might write different stuff when i rage tho but its mainly directed toward devs and not the game itself

Sorry for long text, hope some get what i want to write here, dont want to force guildies to write here since they consider vault a waste of time

Also i didnt know that helping ddo grow as a game, and having private things written in a bio that someone stalked you for to post here as he tried hard to find a way to show that you are a exploiter because he is offended by "something" would pull so much attention.
I know there isnt much to complain about this update beside the regular bugs, but its silly that you guys concentrate all your vaultines at such a silly thread like this.
Afk at guild ship atm, and its funny how many tells i got from your guys beging to see my bio.
Its rather silly

I, for one, appreciate most of what you write and your contributions to game knowledge.  It can sometimes come off gruff but I am used to it with a few non-native English speaking friends.  (who btw take the time to learn English, but I take no time to learn their language because I'm a lazy American a-hole)

Lelouch wrote on Apr 23^rd, 2015 at 10:25am:
You have not and are not helping DDO grow as a game.  Take a break from posting and you'll see that the net result to the game is the same.  Your messages calling for change to broken game mechanisms are not first before others, not last, and not most helpful for anyone.  Other players report the things you complain about before your posts.

Do not be offended by this.  I merely point out a flaw in your thinking.

Perhaps this is a language issue.

The character BIO is not a place for private (belonging to or for the use of one particular person or group of people only) anything.  It is by definition the place where players put information for other players to read.  This is "public", the opposite of private.  If you want a place to put private information, use your guild forum (in order to restrict the content to your guild mates) or a sticky-note (restricting the content to people who have access to the sticky note).

I don't think you intended your Bio to be private, though.  You took the time to implement two colors in addition to the default and formatted your text as a narrative which indicates intent that it be read by others.  Claiming that it was intended to be private is disingenuous (not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does) at best. 

Do not be offended by this.  I merely point out a flaw in your thinking.

You draw attention to yourself and through your posts on this forum, posts on Cordovan's forum, and your BIO. 

This is not the first thread where your mischief (playful misbehavior or troublemaking, especially in children) on Cordovan's forums has been called out.

What could be done privately through PMs to Cordovan and the development team or bug reports is instead posted publicly needlessly using clearly inflammatory (arousing or intended to arouse angry or violent feelings.) language.

Anything silly here is directly attributable to your posts in this and other threads.  Your responses in this thread have not been efforts to de-escalate, but rather a mix of hostile barbs and denial of responsibility.

If you are sincere (free from pretense or deceit; proceeding from genuine feelings) in your assertion that this discourse is "silly", stop responding and within a week the thread will have left people's attention.

I think everyone agrees with this.

Tell us more about this War you were at part of.

The community is killing the game, not the abuse of said exploits. Where is the pvp when every other game has its own ? Where is the proper advertising when every other company is doing it ? Why the fuck when they favor lotro over ddo do they still wish to keep the licence and keep it running the way it is for ages ? Why do they insult their customers that have actually got a little more brain cells than the rest of the community ? I mean look at ledouche, he is probably the most retarded fucking scumbag next to uska and qhualor.

Over - YOU'RE A COMPLETIONIST!

Why TR into Barb other than because it's OP atm?

Why not use all those Past Lives & Epic Past Lives and all that gear you've collected and TR into a lesser build that you may find more fun {You're not exactly known for playing Barbs after all!}?

Complain all you like but while you're TRing a Completionist Toon into the latest FotM those complaints are tainted with Hypocrisy!

Sorry, we'll double check the stats - might just be an oversight.  Definitely still in the 5 though.

I respectfully disagree.  At some point in the past, an aggressive advertising campaign might have given this game the push it needed to reach critical mass.  That ship, however, has long since sailed, crashed, burned to the waterline, sunk, and been covered with silt.

New players coming to this game run into multiple obvious bugs within hours, if not minutes.  Hell, even the logon screens have errors.  Odds are they will also run into lag of one form or another.  And if they try to report a bug, they will find a bugged bug-reporting system - how sad is that?

Nope, at this point you can advertise all you want and it won't make a difference.  I'll bet that less than 1% of the people that try this game (at least recently) stay with it for more than a few hours.  I really, really wish I was wrong, but I don't think I am.

Who Cares wrote on Apr 23^rd, 2015 at 6:52pm:


Yep, in order for a new player to stay, their  growing love of the game would need to outpace their growing disgust at Turbine's lack of support for it.  Sadly, that's a pretty tall order.

GooFY wrote on Apr 23^rd, 2015 at 6:27pm:


Agreed.
The game is so poorly maintained that bringing new people in now is actually a bad idea.  It will just generate bad publicity.

I was chatting to someone who recently tried running The Grotto (the first mandatory quest in the game after character creation) and it was bugged and not completable.  They tried 4 or 5 times with the same issue (NPC pathing from the sounds of it).  WTF?
I know the impression it left on them, but what impression would that create for the many others?  Seriously?  I was stupefied to hear they had borked that quest.

GooFY wrote on Apr 23^rd, 2015 at 7:18pm:


They would have to fix the in game bug reporting tool first. Hasn't worked for me in years. I could go do one at their support site, but I feel like my time is better spent here typing out witty remarks and snappy comebacks.

And considering we were both typing at the same time, it's not like they don't know or care. I feel that everyone that took the stock options split when the game got sold to WB, and the ones that are left from those era's are so disgruntled, mostly at themselves, for not taking them they are probably doing everything they can to silently destroy the systems and shit. *takes tinfoil hat back off, too itchy for more than one or two posts a day.*
